1. Your goal is to retrieve your treasure from a monstrous entity. 2. All you need is a pen and paper, but expensive software makes it much easier. 3. The rules are constantly being updated, but they’re still shackled to a system from the 1970s.

"for unknown reasons, my mortal enemies appear to be concerned with the core essence of humanity in a way that my allies are not. oh well, better not think about it too hard."

I saw someone say (re another tragedy) that however much you hate this technology, it’s not enough I actually don’t think that’s correct, though. I think it makes sense to hate it like a pollutant or a gun: it’s bad, but it has no conscious intent It shouldn’t absorb the hatred due its masters

The annual fundraising drive for Locus Magazine ends tomorrow (4/14). Publication *and* review of short fiction is more important than ever. Please lend them your support if you can (and signal boost please)!

It’s profoundly ignorant to suggest that the Pope should be fighting crime on behalf of the Catholic Church. Anyone who was remotely familiar with Roman Catholicism would know that that’s what Daredevil is for

To any Hungarians annoyed that Americans are placing the credit for your momentous victory on the shoulders of our stunningly repellent little weasel of a VP: you are correct to feel that way, I'm sorry, we just want to seize any available oppurtunity to humiliate him specificially

It’s a good question, let’s clear the air: 1) Disco is awesome, like 25 all-time classic tracks in a 4 year span, 2) Disco was hated because it was queer, brown, and black, 3) Disco was hated because it paired women and men in a different power dynamic. 4) “Disco Sucks” was a “ MAGA” test run.

Guys, there is no shortage of mediocre white dudes out there. If your electoral politics require you to vote for some mediocre white dude, and one of them turns out to be awful, say a sex pest or a Nazi or some other kind of milkshake duck, you can just find you another one. There's no shortage.

Do not watch Sesame Street on Tubi with the subtitles on 😭. I swear, I didn't edit or add anything. Is it hilarious? Yes, but also, they need to fix this immediately. Absolutely incomprehensible and bad

Still loads of great tunes available & some new ones, take a look.

i’m not being mean or anything like congrats to everyone but i met one of these women and how poor and ruined her life was after she freshly fled in her car. her nerves were shot. she’s one of the people that made this possible, and she’s forgotten and unheard from

By total coincidence I've just read Le Guin's Wizard of Earthsea and Morrison's Song of Solomon back to back, and they have a lot in common, huh?

⚒️🧪 Got an @earthscope.org email saying that the #ArtemisII re-entry shockwave may be audible in coastal southern California between 17:00 and 17:15 PDT or so today! If you're in this area, fill out a USGS felt report with details of what you do (or don't) hear! earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/...

I’ve loved Unwoman’s music for close to 2 decades. If you’ve not heard her yet, you’re in for an anarchist goth cello poetic treat.

Eviction, healthcare denial, food scarcity, overwork, imprisonment—all these things are violent.

I feel very vindicated for my choice to stick to paper books this whole time (but I went all digital/non-CDs with music as soon as iTunes et al dropped drm, and maintain backups of my collection.)

I posted this really late last night bc I spent the day visiting my mom... and I think this song deserves some attention, if you have a few minutes to spare.

To all who celebrate

A few months ago, Google search told someone (who then emailed me angrily) that I wrote "Goodbye Horses" 😅

if a position of authority can be misused in this way, that position of authority should not exist. It's clearly not enough to simply change who is in that position, no more than praying that the next king be better than the last.

Terrorizing 90 million foreigners with open threats of genocide and nuclear fire, terrorizing the psyches of his own populace with our plain powerlessness to stop him. I always heard "terrorist regime" as a bullshit phrase we used to support our neocolonial thuggery. But oh it's real, we're in one.

There’s a reason people read the classics.

AND I FINISHED THE TAXES TOO 💪

Thank goodness for having the task of doing my mom's taxes & wanting to procrastinate that -- I FINALLY talked to someone at Spotify about removing the 4 releases that CD Baby somehow failed to have them take down

Me, joking: I can’t believe we chose “destroying the economy” and “losing wars” over “being nice to trans people occasionally” Conservatives, dead serious: it was a tough choice, but I’m glad we picked “destroying the economy” and “losing wars” over “being nice to trans people occasionally”

How many thousands of people are gonna get charged $70 a month because they didn't read to the third paragraph of this fucking email

And yet I have to make my own clove cigarettes 🚬 😡

X just suspended an account for telling US soldiers, in first 365 days of service can GET OUT out just by reporting "failure to adapt" This will also apply to drafts, and may be useful information you can pass on As a foreigner (UK), I feel this must become something every American knows

Totally agree! I am SO GLAD I went to this concert earlier today! It was just the right mix of information & music. Everyone should learn about Fanny Hensel! Follow @henselpushers.bsky.social!

are you: trans? a metal musician? want to contribute to a compilation album that will raise money directly for trans people in need? then what the fuck are you waiting for?? get in the pit!! forms.gle/dhtLGhurrwQs...

It's impolite to call Musk a genocidal white nationalist because "civility" in American discourse functions not as a neutral procedural norm but as an asymmetric weapon to shield the powerful from accurate moral characterization while policing the tone of those who object.

We coined the most accurséd portmanteau on my practice stream last night, that I hope someone uses for a fictional cheesy goth band: SWOONERAL

"post something random or you'll have an absolutely awful April"? no. you are safe now. Forever Immunity Dog has got you covered.

Pickles asks me to draw him things sometimes. Unrelated, I'll be doing a practice stream at 9:30 at twitch.tv/unwoman ☺️

HAH! Works for me. (alt-sound for anyone who wants to know the joke w/o listening: my cover is in a minor key.) unwoman.bandcamp.com/track/everyt...

forgot the most important of the genre

If all goes according to plan, in a few hours, a crew of astronauts will begin a journey that will take them on a loop around the moon. Here's a video that NASA put together to help people visualize the journey through space, first orbiting the earth before looping around the moon and flying home 🔭

I'm interested in making an introduction to a Scottish composer who specializes in video game work. Their style doesn't necessarily need to overtly say "Scotland", but I am looking for someone who can work in regional themes. #scotland #composer #indiedev

You lucky bitches are safe from my April Fool's prank I thought of earlier, no time to implement it. Maybe next year.

For day 43 I have a song that's not on my bandcamp. I am FURIOUS what is happening to trans people in Kansas and trans youth denied care across the US. I wrote this song for mothers day 2024. gutsandglorycomp.bandcamp.com/track/mamas-... Info: unwoman.com/mamas.html

This Minneapolis rent fund is helping a group of immigrant neighbors who will be evicted within 14 days if they don’t get to goal! 😱 Can we help get them there? I can vouch for this fund and these neighbors, and I would love for them to be able to sleep tonight! Please share and give if you can! 💛
