two to-do lists, one very complicated and one very basic

being a spoonie is irritating on a lot of levels but the one that really sucks is when your to-do list can either look like this (right) or that (left) depending on the day and you won't even know which it'll be until you wake up 💀

shower supervisor is never off duty

(and those reusable gloves inside the shower door have red hair dye on them, not whatever else you are thinking re: the girl who owns multiple swords ✌️)

#1 - this is brilliant

#2 - I showed this to ex (walking neurodivergent Tolkien encyclopedia), and his immediate response was "PFFFFT SAURON OUTSOURCED EVERYTHING. HE JUST CODED A BACK DOOR INTO THE OTHER RINGS AND--"(proceeded to list everything that Sauron outsourced)

I fucking love both nerds 😭

@Ilyndseybelle this is what 50 bucks means to a small business. $50 is nothing to a billion dollar company. start shopping small @meownikaa whoever just placed a $50+ order in my shop, thank you so much that literally just paid for half of my groceries tomorrow

Shopping small is meaningful!

Maybe we could do a new animated Star Trek show that follows the adventures of, oh, I dunno, a group of lieutenant junior officers in Starfleet, maybe, like, five of them, I dunno, just spitballing ideas here

hi i'm a billionaire my company, which will definitely not murder everyone, is named SauronMurdersEveryone Inc after the beloved jrr tolkien character sauron whom i have always admired for his disruptive use of world changing technology and for murdering everyone

I found a flowchart which helps you navigate the IT landscape

Opinion | Why It’s Becoming Harder to be an Artist in America Joanna Woronkowicz writes about the economic challenges artists face and what can be done to help them.

OPINION: "In a country that valorizes creativity yet neglects the people who produce it, I’ve seen how artists are left to navigate a system that treats their calling as a personal gamble rather than a profession worth supporting," Joanna Woronkowicz writes.

heads up, writers—this is the new version of the “I turned your webcam on and I have a video of you jerking off” scam

Random talk here:

I've been asked before by newer/younger artists about how to get popular or meet other artists.

My answer is "please do not make popularity your focus when creating art." It's going to leave you frustrated and feeling empty when you create artwork. It'll suck the fun out of it.

Okay y'all we killed the Metaverse now it's time to kill AI wearables. We got this.

okay but it happens to be an excellent book

Name: Jeff Email: jeffersonzonon@proton.me Subject: Found your work on file sharing channels Message: Hey Michelle, how are you? So here’s something interesting—I found your work floating around online. Full PDFs. Multiple sites. No paywall, no control, no credit. Just… there. And it hit me: if it’s already leaking like that, your value is slipping faster than you think. And then I realized something else. I can push it even further. I can run your entire catalog through my translation app—takes about thirty minutes per language—and release your work across ten different markets without breaking a sweat. No permission, no courtesy, just pure distribution. Imagine your creations scattered everywhere, read by thousands… yet worth absolutely nothing to you. And honestly? I don’t want that. I’d rather not be the reason your career drops through the floor. That doesn’t help either of us. So here’s my offer: get in touch with me. Talk to me. Stop me from releasing these translations before they hit every file-sharing site and social feed out there. It’s simple. Reach out. Have 500$ —yes, that’s all. A small price to keep the value of your life’s work from dissolving overnight. But don’t wait too long. Silence from you just means I keep translating. And once they’re out, they’re out forever. You have 5 days. Your move

New extortion scam email going round (this was received via a writer's website contact form). I've seen a number of these recently but without the money demand; the translation angle is also a new one

THE NEWS IS EXCELLENT

Buy the real jawn. Honestly, this planner has done a lot for my life and Dani does put care into this stuff. And the pdf’s are hella useful for the $15.

The Anti-Planner is my life’s work, and losing it would be like losing a part of myself.

Elizabeth Taylor in an 80s press conference speaking on the stigma of AIDS “…And it so angered me that I finally thought to myself, Bitch, do something yourself.” from the documentary “Elizabeth Taylor: The Lost Tapes.”

there’s a scene in the new documentary where Elizabeth Taylor is talking about the stigma of AIDS and how she got involved in the movement and it’s fucking everything
