Homosexual Art Attack, by Stopwalk track by Stopwalk

Was too busy being OUT (i.e. not at my computer) on National Coming Out day and neglected to post my gay pride anthem:

(available everywhere streaming, including fb/insta/tok, but bandcamp is the best)

Hard same.

This has been my problem with the entire series—it comes true before I can get the next book out and look prescient af.

This is really well done.

I also wonder how long it will be before Bari is an ex-gay like Milo.

A Doctor Who pure-historical where the TARDIS breaks down in 1750 BC Mesopotamia; luckily, it’s actually a really simple part to fix as long as they can find someone to sell them some good quality Sumerian copper.

Did he summarize the comics and then produce a response using ChatGPT?

Canadians – If you have some time this long weekend, fill out this godawful government survey on AI, which itself seems to have been written by AI trained exclusively on buzzword-laden LinkedIn posts.

I WROTE TWO ENTIRE BOOKS ON HOW THIS KIND OF THING IS A BAD IDEA ffs

It would be easy to reposition this headline as 'Billionaire author vows to keep interfering with Scottish democracy', which doesn't look too pretty.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

I made this thing.

I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, it’s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work. France has Earth’s highest reading rate b/c long lunch breaks & labor protections

@unpopulara.bsky.social has done it!

Greta Thunberg's activism is based on a moral clarity and courage the likes of which most people, neurotypical or not, do not have, but desperately need. We should all be more like her.
