Really enjoyed this!

Good morning! AI is being force-fed to you by a handful of billionaires who will lose a bunch of money if they fail to convince you that you need it. You do not need it 🫶

Sweetest baby ever!! 🥹

Cory Doctorow, Whitney Beltrán, and Ed Zitron sitting in conversation on a stage. A Clarion West banner and a Seattle Public Library Foundation banner are behind them.

Loooved the discussion at tonight’s Clarion West Deep Dive! “Enshittification and the Rot Economy” with Cory Doctorow and @edzitron.com (expertly moderated by @brightwhitney.bsky.social).

10/10, would have sat for another few hours. Missed the boat on the electrician route tho

Screenshot of a Reddit comment that says: There's a potent quote about the Hong Kong protests in 1000xResist that applies so deeply; FATHER: You remember? In the streets...hundreds of thousands marching shoulder to shoulder... Biggest demonstrations in HK history. The world watched it all happen. Heard our voices. Saw us bleed. MOTHER: So? FATHER: So if we stayed silent? didnt stand up for ourselves? They would say...this is how it always was. They would say...this is what the people wanted. But no. They can't say that. Because it has gone down in history... That we resisted fiercely. That we fought for a different future...until we couldn't. That legacy lives in us.

omg CUTE

Right! This is the kind of evolution I’ve been craving in my digital space. I’ve been finding little pockets of it—“small web” and various branching newsletters—but this whole concept will definitely be on my mind for the next while. Love the imperfect/incomplete/always growing aspect of it

Thank you for linking this post! You’ve just sent me down the loveliest internet rabbit hole

I hired movers for the first time ever and I am still exhausted from unpacking and organizing after work all week 😮‍💨 still a mess in here, but in theory I’ve got a lot done??

so moving is ALWAYS hard, huh?

sorry to the submission grinder homies but I’m the problem*

*the one who updates their rejection stat a month late 😔

Screenshot of text I’ve written that reads: I really want to rant about the way the world is going and how the creative industries are being destroyed and how those two things are so closely tied together and I want to complain about how hard it is to just exist and create right now and how it feels like you always need to be 'on' and the pressure to always be making content and be visible that's pushed on us by this capitalist fast tech-driven world we're in right now and how it's stifling creativity in the worst way and how it feels like you need to choose between being visible and actually making good art and experimenting and being a human being but I am exhausted and all my energy has been drained

“AI is the asbestos we are shoveling into the walls of our society, and our descendants will be digging it out for generations.”

omg same. Though tbh, it sometimes takes longtime IRL friends by surprise too, lol. It’s like people forget that bonus 6 inches of height 🧍🏼‍♀️ (6’0 here)

CUTIE 🥹

latest gastronauts is an absolute banger yall

I have successfully adapted to ZERO vanilla in my morning coffee routine. This has been a long journey. I am free

Noooo that’s awful! Good luck getting back on track today 😣

yaaaayyy!! congrats!!

If this was a weekend I would be in danger of pulling an all-nighter

Started Citizen Sleeper at 7 and suddenly it’s 11pm omg

I am determined to jump into Critical Role via campaign 4. So far the trailer and teasers have me hyped 🙂‍↕️ in BLeeM we trust!!

6. Finally gained the ability to play Burning Shores, the Horizon DLC! I’m having to relearn the mechanics but I’m so happy to be back in that world again ❤️

5. Recently taught my dog to paddleboard. He is not yet a fan, but I have since received a pro tip to use a peanut butter licky mat, so we will be trying again. Maybe next summer tho.

4. I have successfully added a sleepytime drink to my evening routine. It’s a tea from Friday Afternoon! I’m still new to tea but it’s been a cozy “change of pace” marker for me. :)

3. After the recent OW rank reset, I somehow placed in Masters 5 for open queue (the highest I’ve ever been ranked). A total fluke! A silly little gag! A mistake for the ages!

I played some more this weekend to inevitably fall into Diamond where I belong, and uhhh now I’m in Masters 4. 😭

2. I got my 2026 Hobonichi planners in the mail! I have now spent several hours mapping out how I’m going to fill both a cousin and a weeks. I only have experience with the original, so Godspeed to future me. 🥲

Happy little things thread!

1. I GM’d my first oneshot this weekend using Pointy Hat’s The Pantomime King! It was very fun and I learned a lot. Players seemed to like it, too :)

The perks change! was so good!! (Though def adds to the learning curve)

I am so, so sorry, MR. Sending so much love. ❤️
