You're frozen. You kept yourself open, and they froze you. You loved them, wanted to make them into something more. How could they do this to you? Read "Tonic Immobility", my first short story in more than a year, for free: antarcticempire.net/stories/tonic.htm #writing #shortstory #experimental

John Williams' score for Disclosure Day is wonderfully nuanced. He's often described as a neo-Romanticist but it feels like his inspiration changed for this one. There's less Holst and more Vaughan Williams. Echoes of late Tchaikovsky too. Very pensive and sorrowful

sketch commission for @twentyyearstoolate.bsky.social! the world is full of beautiful things that just need a little patience and kindness to reach their full potential 🌼

I hate that trope where, in anticipation of first contact, the people who want to approach the aliens with good faith and cooperation are shown as naive and foolish and wrong, while the military or governmental organization that wanted to go straight to war is proven right in the end

Fuck you auto-correct it's MAW because I'm a CREATURE

In case anyone is curious, so far here is the extent of my knowledge on anarchist participation in (discourses of) eugenics.

My dad told me it was the pessimistic ones who survived the Holocaust. Of course, the ones who left Germany. It's easy to draw this parallel, but at the same time, American society is different. There was not much resistance to the Nazis in Germany, and the demographics were far more homogenous

In spite of attempts at "union avoidance" including letters home full of nonsense, and some gross dead-naming of staff in office during voting registry - the digital Arena team at Wizards of the Coast successfully unionised after a vote. Solidarity for those making our favourite things. <3

if you're cis you need to read about v coding. the Wikipedia article puts very plainly the torture that regularly awaits imprisoned trans women across this country. after that you must do everything you can to prevent your trans comrades and loved ones being snatched for resistance or anything else

Not lost on me by the way that a handful of people on here were predicting that Palestine would be the death knell of the American Left but it instead has given it a massive boon— on account of the Left being the only faction saying what the vast majority of young people and Democratic voters think.

A thing to keep in mind about any reporting about New York City's Jewish population is that about 13% of the city's population is Jewish. 10% of all Jewish people on earth, live in NYC. The national US average is about 2%. NYC has a *staggeringly* high Jewish population.

Happy #makeaterriblecomicday !

Best phoenix 🐦🔥 #acnh (I'm also still really satisfied with my house design for her)

Today I redesign my stupid bug alien for the millionth time.. His name is Reese [he/she] 🌙 #furry #furryart

the greatest test of teaching people empathy is to teach them empathy for things they hate. like bugs. you have to have empathy for everything, not just the things you are fondest of.

I love how I know nothing about TADC but because collectively the queers have decided to make art where the trans character ends up happy I know enough to say; if the girlies don't like the fictional trans woman's fate, we will collectively create an infinite number of universes where they are happy

No one believes you're a novelist for the 20-odd years you work on it before debuting. It takes a special kind of stubbornness to succeed as an author #writing

I really ought to write a new short story or blog post so I have an excuse to email my subscribers

I love it when ppl acknowledge my mantishood. It's very thoughtful

what if jax came back? #jax #tadc #theamazingdigitalcircus

You're along with me Despite going out Extracted God forbid Walk long endless Lines In the concrete It's solid, I never had A chance To write in it There's anxiety, guilt It's fine To say that I Deserve nice things But what of it What of it What of it What good does it do #poetry #writing

Hey leaf Flying in the breeze Like a kite On a string to the earth Wrest you Help for the taking From me Hey leaf Anchored to the branch Like a song Steadfast and ringing Keep you Still until the end must Begin #poetry #writing

Given up on some Larger meaning All hiddens All convictions stagger Along on fed-up legs I'm not weak, I am Tough as a fragile thing Can be Then why must finding Living treasure Cause much the same Why can't those arms Enfold me #poetry #writing

by the eyelids of the morning she will be seen as a shadow that which few admire to be admired until the coming of the dusk #poetry #writing

when you're old you can look at the green mountain and cry spinning by aged dust-brittled threads snap and fall rolling as a boulder might event of life you grant the velveteen earth #poetry #writing

If I built the world Out of touch And your personage laid Conductive along the Thoroughfares Imagining Our proximity Sparking thoughts #writing #poetry

Steeped in rich Dark-wood paneled Epistemology I'm alone but unified Acid in my blood Constructing Networks out of the Twang of my muscle The emotion that We can smell Alive for life and will Vibrating, vibrating Til all the world Comes crashing down Acid in my blood #poetry

alhamdulillah

Anarchists are feeding folks, distributing supplies, tending wounds at protests, running local pride organizations, organizing housing funds & tenants unions, opposing police, running local papers, teaching community safety, distributing keep warm packs & masks and more, in yr community, RIGHT NOW.

Contradictory to a popular belief, mythological centaurs are NOT insects because both humans and horses are mammals, however, if we consider "centaur" to be a generic body plan then mantises would be centaurs. Moreover, this would make insects the only animals to have access to the centaur body plan

That's exactly what they say 🥹🕷️
