There were six or seven agents, trying to harm a man who looks unarmed and still they murdered him in broad daylight. These ICE agents are venal, incompetent, cowardly and this type of execution will keep on happening because they are an unchecked paramilitary force of scared men who crave power.

The wealthy are always so GD worried some poor people are gonna commit some small time fraud. Meanwhile, big corporations are committing HUGE afraid. Just look at defense contractors. Why? Because we have all been taught to see the wealthy as virtuous and to see the poor as lazy and unworthy.

Batshit, indeed. WTF is going on.

Those four artists were a totally valid Connections category and answer! 🤬

Thanks to Reddit, I found out that Cyberpunk 2077 was on sale for $17.49 (from $70). I bought it right away on the Nintendo eshop. I was never gonna buy it otherwise. Turns out IT WAS AN ERROR. It’s now back to regular price. LOL.

Playing Persona 3 Reload and I got to October, beat the shadows and, my goodness, I wasn’t expecting what happened after. I love the Persona series.

THE LONG GAME is now available as a #freezine. #BPO night shift. Facebook memorial page scams. Precarity as management tool. #CyberpunkRealism. No future, only survival math. Part 3 of trilogy. Physical copies exist but this one's digital—because this exploitation lives in digital infrastructure.

Not a dry eye in the house. America was Great. 🇺🇸

Scene outside right now. So pretty—cotton candy pink against powder blue. Captured it before it went away in a mere minute. Good morning!

CIPRIANI — new #zine Two women meet at Grand Central, still trying to make sense of Susan's story. Still unable to escape her orbit. A story about the economics of intimacy and what it means to remain entangled in a narrative that was never really yours. $10. [email protected]

Morning.

I think I just quit writing. Again.

Change happens, even if it seems too slow against the corrupt fascists, but it happens. This is the break we needed during these horrific times. I feel less crazy and exhausted that someone who believes in diversity, equality, and humanistic principles was actually voted into office.

NYC marathon on a subway weekend schedule plus track work is PURE HELL. WTF.

Second playthrough, trying to 100% the game. Turns out 50% of it is just korok seeds. Anyway, Hyrule is beautiful on Switch 2. #BOTW

Early voting in NYC has begun today. VOTE!

Vegetable soup made with celery, sweet potatoes, white onions, baby spinach, parsley, and dill. I love soup season.

The thing with #Persona4Golden is that Nanako & Dojima, are there in the background, easy to put off leveling up until they’re not. Then you feel lost without them. Same with the theme song. It plays, & then at a critical time, an emotional arrangement of it plays & it destroys you. #P4G

Everything is horrible, but I finished writing a story, submitted it. Submitted my unagented novella, too. Bannable works, but we need to keep voicing our defiance. Art is powerful, threatening to the establishment. We endure because art endures.

Netflix recorded an interview with Dr. #JaneGoodall in March, set to air only after her death. In it, she says she wishes Trump and Elon Musk could be blasted into space. Her final message: “Don’t lose hope.” youtube.com/shorts/kIej4...

Busy printing and assembling zines for distribution! 🤓

I’ve finally finished revising my novella. Taking a break before I write new material. In the meantime, I’m reading Carlo Rovelli’s Anaximander, painting, marinating ideas, and living. The reward of writing IS writing and learning through the process, not some imagined recognition or publication.

We are dying every day, so live.

Disney has lost nearly $4 Billion in three days from combined stock price collapse and cancelled subscriptions.

I’m so glad I got got rid of Hulu six months ago. ABC cancelled Jimmy Kimmel, cancel Hulu, ESPN and Disney. That’s the appropriate response to that. Cancel culture goes both ways. Can’t allow an evil conglomerate to win against the people it’s extracting from.

Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide. As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire. End the genocide. Ceasefire now.
