Oh my god. What is this. This is terrible in every sense of the word. This is a beloved anime and nothing deserves to be treated with this disrespect. Making a mockery out of this story. I am so pissed off! I can't even cancel my subscription again over it because I already cancelled it.

TL cleanse (for me) so I don't have to think abt racists & racism for 3 seconds. Look at this sparkly skein of "Peacock Balthazar" with a hint of a rainbow in the background. 🧶

And the gods and goddesses said "it is good."

YES THIS. If you are one of the "all is lost" people please feel free not to say so in the comments of my posts, it'll save me the two seconds it takes to "hide for everyone" your comments. All is not lost. All is never lost. I prefer not to have you infecting others with your doomerism in my space.

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

(I have finished the novella and I love Tadek very much)

It took just three days to get Sinclair to back down, and what it got in exchange for agreeing to put Kimmel back on the air was...nothing. This is not what happens every time you stand up to a bully, but if you don't fight back, you'll never know if you would have won.

Clever, loyal, and (mostly) brave soldier Alex Easton is back in @tkingfisher.com’s #WhatStalkstheDeep, and they are bringing all the snark and relatability we’ve come to expect from the Sworn Soldier. #BookSky TY to @NetGalley & @macmillanaudio.bsky.social for the ARC for my honest review:

I decided it would be a good idea to compile all my reporting on this topic in one place, so that other people wanting to get a glimpse into this mindset / mentality have a good starting point. You can find that list here. www.linkedin.com/pulse/intern...

I am presently reading the novella and weeping

As a reminder, this is great, but withholding spending without saying *why* is less effective than a short email to customer service.

If you’re cutting your Disney spending plans, take a minute to tell them why, otherwise they might think it’s bc they haven’t had Mickey take a knee for Kirk.

when I was in high school on picture day, about 20 different boys passed around this one specific shirt while we waited in line and took their picture for the yearbook wearing it. that's my personal ideal of "boys will be boys"

Properly labelled / tagged fiction is consensual by default.

You only see it, consume it, interact with it, if you consent to.

Censoring it is ridiculous puritanism.

A lot of people see what’s happening and are really disheartened because they see institutions that they believed to be solid failing and falling apart. There are so many other things to place your hopes on. People, communities, movements, art, spirit, all these things that are part of us.

the thing people keep tripping over themselves to misunderstand is that fictional portrayals of non-consensual scenarios are, by the nature of being fiction, consensual. and this is not paradoxical, nor is a guy getting shot in a movie and then showing up to the premiere. it's just in the story

What Stalks the Deep by T. Kingfisher @macmillanaudio.bsky.social @tkingfisher.com

Wonderfully written, well thought out, dark, and chilling.

anything that can be not a video should be not a video

there are too many videos

DO NOT go back to twitter that is the hitler site. i am dead serious with this shit. its main role as a de-facto organ of the trump admin is to facilitate nazi propaganda. you cannot be posting your doodles on the "euthanize all trans people" forum just because they still allow pornography

In her recommendation, Bagdasarian stated, "Any person over the age of six months without contraindication who has not received a dose of a Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved or-authorized 2025-2026 COVID-19 vaccine may be considered to have an underlying condition that puts them at high risk for severe outcomes from COVID-19 and is thus eligible to receive an age-appropriate dose."

I like this. Since under RFK Jr, Covid shots are now for people with underlying conditions that put them at risk, Michigan’s chief medical executive Dr. Natasha Bagdasarian states that not having the most recent Covid shot constitutes such an underlying condition.

Hulu and Disney plus are now offering 70% off subscriptions, and in response I am offering Hulu and Disney plus 70% off deez nuts.

Neccessary? Necessary? Neccesary?

Not a writer, but: occurrence. Hey, why did autocorrect add a second "r"? Surely there's just one? Argh

For no reason at all, a cancelled sub to a streaming site could convert to supporting an artist of your choice. And you know, artists are generally more grateful for the support than big corporations, just saying.

If anyone needs this spelled out, banning extremists from a website for actually violating the site's content policies is very, very different from punishing/canceling a veteran talk-show host for saying things that violate zero rules, neither his contract nor any prior standards of the FCC.

get yourself a congressional candidate who can kill charybdis *and* prioritize direct action

I think everybody could use some good news today.
