We’re still crowdfunding and we’re only at 17% we’d love to make Season Two and we can’t do it without you. Please help us make this a reality!

Personally I love seeing corny, cringy bad protest signs. Means the amateurs are activated

NO KINGS (except for me)!

I saw a leaf bug today and it was doing such a good job at resembling a leaf

This art is a year or two now but I'm still really proud of it. Pigeons!! I sell these lil guys as prints https://www.lackofa.com/shop

Yes I do live under a rock, but there are books under here with me.

My brother: someone flashed their brights at me earlier because I stopped at a stop sign
Me: were they from California?
Dear reader, my brother confirms they had a California plate. I laughed my head off

The things I do for writing apparently consist of calculating what my fictional guy would have spent on tuition a decade ago (by navigating labyrinthine and hellish university webpages) and getting sad on his behalf because I have to give him a heaping pile of student loans

The torment nexus exists and it’s called trying to find anything on university websites. When I was applying for schools years ago, I considered one mostly on the merit of “their website wasn’t hellish to interact with”

when the AI bubble finally collapses and everyone who spent a year smugly hyping it suddenly has to come crawling back with their tail between their legs, i just want to say i am not going to be the bigger person about it. i am going to be meaner than you can even believe

I had to read some Richard Barnfield for a Queer Shakespeare class in college a few years ago and it has irreparably ruined my ability to spell shepherd. It’s shepheard now

*young me, developing a strong sense of justice*

This is gonna be great, what an asset, this will never drive me insane

If you were alive in the 1980s, this is among the most wonderful & truly incredible things you have ever witnessed in your lifetime.

It annoys me to no end to look for an expensive academic work on eBay and find people selling the book for more than the publisher is. Disgusting

Why did TBQ just read me for filth?

tbh I kind of think the increased use of language like "consume" and "content" about art and the experiencing of it is part of what led us to this shit timeline where everything seems disposable and people are happy to let a delusional robot do their writing for them

hcommons.org is nonprofit and open to all, and isn’t that place that feeds your desk copies into an GenAI maw to make weird “podcasts”

hey I am posting this because I didn't know it, and so others might not either: but the BBB has NOT PASSED YET-- it's passed the senate & now it must pass the house.

It's time to call reps RIGHT NOW. Johnson is going to push the vote ASAP before backlash can form so the calls need to start NOW.

as the month closes out this GAY MAGPIE wishes all you queers a happy pride once again!!!

I'm going to be honest here, I think AI is going to do so much damage to the usable internet that even after it's inevitably crashes out, it's going to take years to disentangle from every space it's polluted, like digital asbestos it's gonna be time consuming effort and likely expensive venture.

Congrats!!

Some emo walking past me: have they considered not having emos concerts in summer?
I agree, (97° eww) but I also acknowledge that if it were winter I wouldn’t get to see everyone’s cool outfits, which is the second best part of an emo concert

Settings > account > handle. There’s a button at the bottom that says “I have my own domain”

Putting out the call to any other Coloradans

oh for god's sake

I’m extremely medieval peasant brained about AI. Do not interact with the demon box.
