And just like that, SFWA capitulates. Keep fighting. It works.

I’m only a wannabe artist but looks like cool!

Welp. I need this. STAT.

being a queer woman and an Asian American certainly helped, but yes. Also this.

share your couples art ✨

"trump just declared war with venezuela via truth social" is a real sentence i just said out loud

It is international law 101 that a military blockade is not just a violation of the UN Charter, but a crime of aggression. Unless that blockade is in response to an 'armed attack.' None of President's Trump's list of complaints come close to an armed attack. 1/

I wish I had the budget but sharing to spread the word!

Rob Reiner: “Silence in the face of authoritarianism is complicity. Speaking out is a patriotic act. Democracy doesn’t defend itself. It requires participation, vigilance, and courage from ordinary people."

In case you needed some Jaycel Morningray in your day: "I’m just coming along in case there’s trouble.” “You’re going to keep me out of trouble?” “Oh, Void no, darling. But if you get into some, I certainly want to be there.”

Every single time they tell blatant lies, this is what needs to happen immediately.

No. 🙃

just text me like a normal person 😭

Users of Gen AI climb on the backs of actual creators and stick flags between their shoulder blades, treating them like territory. Us and our work are just ladders to them. The only work they really want to do is to climb over us and claim our talent and abilities as their own.

I said it before, will say it again -- generative AI fetishizes "ideas" while sneering at effort, execution, and education. That, despite Gen-AI being built on and out of other people's effort, execution and education.

This is so real. I make this exact expression, pushed up glasses and all, on the regular lol

So my final project for one of my courses is designing a tour with a theme of our choice using existing objects on exhibit in a museum of our choice. This is my proposed tour in the National Museum of Asian Art. My class seemed to like it lol 😂

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque: "This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

I'll say again: we are oddly selective about the government services about which we will say, they operate at a loss. We say Amtrak and the post office "lose money" but we never say highways, the court system, the Pentagon, etc lose money

One of the best-sketched characters in an incredibly character-rich show: a fascist whose (potentially real!) redeeming qualities are continually undercut by his monumental pride, bigotry, entitlement and pettiness

Also USPS didn't loss money because it doesn't make money because it's not a business and if never makes money to begin with. It did however deliver over 112.5 billion pieces of mail in 2024 and that doesn't even include packages.

“You’re not wrong, friend.”

It’s a public service not a business. Losses are not relevant. It’s in the goddamn constitution. Gonna lose my mind. AAAAAAAAAHHHHH

The following is a statement from the WGA on the Acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery by Netflix.

Oh no I have a mighty need

I'm just... i'm just gonna... crawl over here and pass out for a while...

"Prosecute ICE" should be a basic position for Democrats at this point.

And meanwhile housing costs have gone completely batshit psychotic in every major city as well and most of us can barely afford to keep roofs over our heads

AKIRA (1988, Katsuhiro Otomo)

A college student complaining about a grade on a paper is not national news. Not even close. The details have minimal import outside the class itself. Well-funded political activists targeting profs and TAs—in this case because they're trans—with the help of elected state officials? National issue.

“So the plan is to replace all their jobs with AI” Five minutes later: “what do you mean, broke people don’t spend as much?”

The highest calling of journalism isn’t to tell two sides of a story. The highest calling of journalism is to tell the truth. And acting like a stenographer is a betrayal of your audience.

Stop feeling like I'm constantly drowning T_T

Not quite ready for this yet, but saving this link for future reference, because OOOOOOOOHHHHH 🤩

A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing. And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.

Introduce yourself with five concerts you’ve seen— Jukebox the Ghost (7x) Silversun Pickups (3x) Styx (3x) My Chemical Romance (2x) Florence + the Machine Muse

I don’t like this fact.

Because the mainstream media are all cowards or shills

jiminy's animal reviews: The ocellated turkey (𝘔𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘨𝘳𝘪𝘴 𝘰𝘤𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘢) is much like the most common wild turkey of North America, except it cosplays as a peacock. It looks like a black light poster of a whiskey bottle. It’s like a Lisa Frank still life of Appalachia. It’s glorious. 🧵

truth coming out of her cup noodles to shame mankind

Do you know what makes a great present? Books. Especially queer books. Check out the 2025 Queer Adult SFF Books list, now with even more books!

I like art-based wall calendars and after much looking, I’ve discovered that there is no 2026 Maxfield Parrish art calendar on offer and I’m NOT HAPPY.
