A poster showing a weeping skull wearing a red hat. The skeleton is holding a smartphone that is showing no comments, shares, or likes, as though no one is interacting with its posts. The text on the poster reads "This account does not feed trolls. Block and move on."

"i hope this site doesn't end up like the last one :("

Hope has nothing to do with it--DO YOUR PART!

Twitter & Truth Social are dying. Their users are used to farming outrage for engagement. Don't give them any!

I thought this entire show was a fever dream from my childhood because NOBODY I know remembers it. I love this redesign!

A jaguar prowls under moonlight, its fur is covered in stars and tribal patterns.

This is just a sample of some of the "Biden/Netanyahu ties are strained/things are more fraught/a breach is definitely widening" stories written between November and February. In that time, around 17,000 people in Gaza were killed. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Obsessing on gaffes is lazy journalism We should be less concerned about minor things politicians do accidentally than major things they do on purpose.

Perfectly phrased by Mark Jacob (former editor for the Chicago Tribune.)

"One candidate is old and makes verbal flubs.

"The other candidate is old, makes verbal flubs, faces 91 felony counts and wants to be a dictator."

imagine not only voting to pass a child labor bill but also voting to remove sexual harassment protections for said child laborers

It agree it would be nice if the NYT only published anti-trans pseudoscience for clicks, bc then withholding clicks might matter, but that’s not how they make money and it ignores a more troubling reality: NYT editorial leadership is campaigning against the medical consensus on trans care for youth.

its a shame that hacktivism isn't really a thing anymore because I firmly believe that upwards of 75% of all anti-trans state legislators could be driven fully out of public life and possibly into prison if the contents of their home hard drives were made public

important to remember that "teens might be encouraged to transition when they don't need to" will always resonate to these people more than "teens might be prevented from transitioning when they need to" because to them the latter category doesn't exist because they don't think trans people are real

Never been so glad I self-publish.

I feel silly that it never occurred to me that people would do this.

truth coming out of her well

(yes i made this)

Not trying to be contrary! It does take a lot of the mystery and magic out of a subject to see it broken down into stats and numbers. I guess I just ultimately like the idea of people being able to explore their favorite horror settings in new and personal ways

A lot of players and game masters agree that rule books are just a place to start and it’s understood that many players will alter stats and rules to suit the needs of their campaigns. I think it’s good to have those rules and stats for beginners who want to enjoy the game, though.

it makes total sense that my brain would interpret this stuff I’m writing that I’m really emotionally invested in as something that is actually happening to me and not something I’m inflicting on a fictional person like Cool cool cool cool that’s a thing that can happen

So my partner and I do text based RP and we wrote out a really intense scene over the weekend, and yesterday I just felt like shit. Agitated and moody and stuff. Turns out it was sub drop lol

Over on the former Twitter I am still being blamed by certain dudes for SF/F going “woke,” and all I have to say to that is that if you think a middle-aged cis straight white man is largely responsible for the (in my opinion quite excellent) state of modern SF/F, you’re telling on yourself a lot.

there needs to be some sort of book version of the Larry Craig principle, where the louder and more vociferously someone screeches about fictional content, the more likely they are to be doing smth super heinous to real people

"this is good gay rep because it's not full of nasty porn" some of us are Whores Susan it's rep for the sluts

Imagine handing this to someone and expecting them to let you boss them around for an hour. Ludicrous.

The World’s Most Popular Painter Sent His Followers After Me Because He Didn’t Like a Review of ... Ben Davis on the fallout from his critical review of Devon Rodriguez's "Underground," and what it says about "parasocial aesthetics."

Fascinating article about art, fame, parasocial relationships and what reviews are for: news.artnet.com/opinion/devo...

Yes! Also the time and energy it takes to find a therapist you vibe with and establish trust and rapport? That shit can take months even if everything goes well. And if it doesn’t go well, you get to start all over, again and again.

perfect film
