I'm gonna get slaughtered for this, but I read 100% of Gideon the Ninth because of such a scenario and I was not impressed.

Renesmee's fit upgrade. Especially proud of the essential oil diffuser hairband necklace.

You might ask; Isn't this stupid and unserious when you have more important things to do?

Yes. But I need to be unserious when The Work is very serious. Right now the work is very serious.

Tired of dystopian sci-fi? You might like Solarpunk. A recent literary genre imagines what happens when our climate changes—and so do we.

hey yo

i wrote a reported culture essay for @motherjones.com about solarpunk

it was incredibly fun talking to a bunch of solarpunk thinkers and artists!

the magazine commissioned some lovely art for it too

🤔 I hope that's some plausibly deniable sass.

To be clear though, I world rather things be Normal. People happy with their jobs. Shit not collapsing.

Renesmee the labubu is wearing a custom Team Jacob t-shirt. She is my daughter. I hate labubus. Should I buy her fake Louis Vuitton pajamas next?

I am officially a menace to society.

this is the most Queer As In FUCK YOU story I've ever read in a mainstream magazine

I'd describe it to you, but that would violate bsky's terms and conditions, so you should just go read it instead

A labubu. Why are labubus?

Somehow this cursed item came into my possession. I honestly don't know what they are for? I've seen random images of them dressed up in clothes. If I put a Twilight t-shirt on it will people know I'm being very ironic??
