It’s very tempting to purchase the plush apple hat (that makes one’s head into a large apple) and do a little photo shoot with Bunny (who has an apple head). Clearly what I need is more niche headwear.

finally painted the dumbest 3D sculpt i’ve made to date #art

Eeeee, my video "How #Taskmaster Helped Me Come to Terms with My Sexuality" is finished! I'll be uploading it to YouTube within the next few days.

It's time to get HYPED

What an absolutely despicable level of medical neglect this poor man suffered. This is the reality of these concentration camps and ICE will bring more of this to Marana and Surprise if those facilities open.

I lament a lot of my time living in the desert. It’s a challenging environment for me. But right now I feel the wind flowing across my skin, tickling my legs as it ruffles my the hair on them. I watch the shadows of trees dance on the white walls in front of me. I hear the music of leaves and air.

What's scary about this story is the surveillance it hints at. This trans woman had changed her name, legally, but chose not to change her gender marker. She was apparently flagged in the DMV system as trans and her license was invalidated under a law that supposedly only concerned gender markers.

Are you the Doppler effect bc my frequency gets higher as you approach me

infograpic titled "how to hold yourself together when your brain is trying to escape through the drywall". includes such helpful points as "breathe like a confused victorian ghost" and "scroll pictures of moss" and "hydrate (even if youre bisexual)". there's a sad looking anime girl on it wearing a sweater that says "born to pee".

I’m so sorry! I hope you recover soon. I’ve never had the pleasure of taking lemsip but it seems to p much be equivalent to DayQuil/NyQuil, so hurrah! I hope it’s relieving some symptoms for you.

“lol”

SAME. If only I could sink into the mycelium network, become a betendriled thing, or perhaps become one with moss!

Making the they/them in my email signature bigger every time someone in the chain misgenders me.

My reputation!!! I don’t mind it. 🥰🌱

I really don’t feel like making a “0 days since I’ve tapped the sign” images, wherein the sign says “remind mark that he deserves to be paid for his art and people adore him” but you can imagine it.

My adult life has been, in part, defined by ignoring sensations in my body. It’s such bizarre behavior and I see the ways that it’s cultivated by the society I live in. I’m learning, bit by bit, to let the tendrils of connection unfurl between my fascia.

Glad to hear it!! 🫱💷

Oh yeah! I know of folks who put an extra tier on their Patreon that’s higher but has zero extras. It’s just way to tip for folks who have the funds.

As far as I’m concerned, MOAFB is a load-bearing podcast on the infrastructure of my life at the moment.

Listen, I’ll pay you more.

No discount code expires with @kansascitydsa.bsky.social so long as we have the funds

I’ll be sending this to my mother, with whom I listen to MOAFB over discord calls. (She thanks you for having a character with long COVID! She’s been largely housebound due to her own long COVID complications worsening. It’s nice to see some folks talking about it.)

Good thing to look out for over the next few weeks

Roses are red
Bikers wear leather
I'm into hot messes
who don't have their shit together

Maybe we can send them my forthcoming zine: BIBLE (Big Interesting Boobs Looming Everywhere)

Urgent reporting on recent U.S. state government violence toward Kansans, that matters *for all of us*. Key points from @marisakabas.bsky.social's QT'd just journalism in thread, if you don't have time to read: (It's important people know about this, & there isn't adequate media coverage.) +

Who’s up learning about pop-up books with me? #relatable #youthculture

Tal is a fantastic creator, check out what they have to say! I know each piece of advice would be worth the... weight of your e-reader in gold. Yes, even if you read on your desktop computer.
Huge congrats, Tal!!

It took me no time at all to decide to join the @watsoncomedian.bsky.social Patreon (soft launched on the @murderbastard.bsky.social discord—go join the server if you wanna subscribe!) bc this little (big) podcast has been keeping me afloat amid some crummy times and pushing my creativity, too.
