Completely true, good point

This is so demented and hurts my brain. I guess it was time for a right-wing "this hand gesture is offensive for some extremely obscure reason" freakout to match the six-month-long left-wing freakout about the "OK" sign

Instagram is getting so dominated by videos (which I guess I can't complain about too much because I hope it crushes Larry Ellison's TikTok).

But I guess there's no other app that people mainly use to share art & photos? (besides this one of course) Anyone got any art app recommendations?

Text: "The Black Vampyre; Legend of St. Domingo" by Uriah Derick D'Arcy written in 1819. The story of an enslaved man in St Domingo (modern day Haiti) who was thrown overboard as his enslaver attempted to kill him. He not only survives, he lives forever, and marries one of his enslaver's descendants. Reminds me of "Sinners" in a way

Wanna hear a scary story?

The first American vampire was Black.

Seriously.

78 years before Dracula appeared in American literature, there was "The Black Vampyre" by Uriah D'Arcy.

It was written in 1819 as an antislavery critique and the effect the Haitian Revolution had on the States

One thing I appreciate about your takes is that you seem to have some actual faith & hope in (long term) electoral change in the USA

It’s sad & a pain that the US Post Office doesnt have customer facing terminals so that whenever I spend 5 minutes filling out an international customs form by hand, the post office employee has to spend another 5 minutes retyping everything I wrote into their computer right in front of me ☹️

Israel blocks longtime Gaza aid groups from working in the region A promised surge of Gaza aid hasn't arrived since a fragile ceasefire began three weeks ago. Israel is now barring longtime relief groups, disrupting Save the Children's decades of work there.

100% agree on this. I hate when magic becomes mundane. If anything I think the more fun way would be to make ‘mundane’ technology & science seem ‘mystical’— since I for one dont understand how anything works anyway 🤪

Truth

I don’t think I’ve seen that one either— I only know its SFX dragon is legendary (by reputation)

Haha, good point! I haven't seen that since I was a kid and I saw it in the theater!! 🤪🤯

Another one I haven't seen!! Thank you for reminding me of it!!

He’s even a polite interviewer… he’s just not a total prearranged-questions kiss-ass

Out of those I’ve only seen “Conquest”! Thanks!!

There’s surreal movies and fantasy movies (in the sense of secondary/pseudomedieval worlds) but rarely surreal fantasy movies. I guess it’s sort of asking double duty of the production team to establish a non-modern setting and then *also* establish that it’s somehow surreal & weird

Hi Alvin! Wow, I just discovered your BlueSky and saw this!! I'lll look for your new book! Hope you're well!!

Serious question

(From “The Hourglass Sanatorium”)

Absolutely agree!! She just makes me mad at the other children’s entertainers. 😂❤️

Next to “Free Palestine” graffiti in Golden Gate Park in the same hand I see “Rachel Boss” graffiti. And it’s true! Ms Rachel is the boss! ❤️

The story has the structure of a meh live action RPG where it mostly consists of people conversationally sussing each other out, sharing little bits of info, and trying to figure out who is on what team & what their motive is

Listening to “A Night in the Lonesome October” by Zelazny. Pretty good, not reslly my thing, but a great dog book 🐶

I remember enjoying Angry Birds (for example) when it wasn’t free 10+ years ago but today I 100% do not want our kid to have to watch ads and get prompted to buy a bunch of crap

Parents & folks: does anyone have any recommendations for good mobile games (well, actually iPad) for young kids that you can just buy as a unit and dont have all that toxic micropayments garbage?

I was just going to ask about the girl one!! Wow, thank you for introducing me to this artist!

I love it

God, seriously. I just hate finding he had Islamophobia on his list of special moves too. (Maybe he always did, idk Adams’ history especially)

The whole previous tweet may come off as tasteless. But the mental gymnastics that these right wing idiots have to go through to convince themselves that some progressive Muslims who have zero conservative signifiers, are actually secret Islamists!!! Anyone thinking this is an unconvincable moron

Eric Adams endorsing Cuomo with a statement about “radical Islamism” is a whopping reminder that this guy never should have been mayor in the first place

Who even looks at obviously lefty Mamdani chilling with his unveiled artist wife and thinks “this guy is a closet Islamist”? Unfathomable idiocy

“Forgive me for talking about myself. But you know, it’s also your problem!”
