ok hey it's me again, my February challenge (no podcasts) was successful, I just decided my March challenge will be No Posting. except for this one right now bye. byyyeee EOM

I'm orchestrating this midlife crisis impeccably if I do say so myself

this big fish has been returned to the Philadelphia free library, or according to Lynch, the Hellhole free library

it’s not a day to be online, but a day to pick up tools and build the world you would rather see

“How many of these gentle people have I helped to kill just by paying my taxes?" June Jordan, 1984

This is an iteration in a long history of no one thinking anyone else's work is as valuable or complicated as theirs, and is especially pernicious in the managerial class making layoff decisions. That managerial class, imo, has a lot of unearned confidence that they're too valuable for that fate.

getting really wound up over this hybrid cinnamoroll mario trapped in this plastic cage. there are other freaks here too

THE FREEZE STATE IS A MENTAL STATE NOT JUST A PHYSICAL ONE YOU ARE NOT ONLY FROZEN LIKE A DOE THAT HAS BEEN TARGETED YOU ARE MENTALLY OFFLINE AND CAN'T THINK UNTIL THREAT IS GONE SORRY TO YELL LIKE JENNY FUCKING HOLZER AT SEVEN IN THE MORNING

what have i learned in amassing and organizing a sizable photo collection of black life in one year? “little projects” and “unstructured work” are crucial to a robust intellectual life. pursuing what you’re curious about sharpens everything around you.

As of tonight, licenses of trans people across Kansas are being invalidated en masse, enabling the overnight criminalization of an entire group of people for going about our lives. It’s often said you never know when you’re living through history, so let me assure you: that’s what’s happening now.

Dispatches from MN: it's getting really hard, guys. The media has left, the donations are drying up, and ICE is still here kidnapping people. It's hard not to be resentful that other people have the option of setting this aside for.other things.

written and READ BY, available via your public library, for those who need it

I feel like everyone born five years after me are all really into bugs bunny like a little too much for some reason

I saw blue links on wikipedia looking partially faded, and I was wracking my brain trying to figure out what the heck was going on, until I remembered I had @everest.bsky.social's "Desire Paths for Wikipedia" installed

I don't know who needs to hear this, but I hope you have a great week and you release what no longer serves you.

I am sorry I listened to a podcast but it's ok I had a doctor's note

How things are going in MN since the "drawdown" began

wait wait I have an important question -> Has anyone my age (millennial) listened to the pure moods soundtrack as an adult and did it heal everything about you?

I don't want to freak anyone out but I feel like I've been expressing evil spirits from my body, possibly in the manner of how a transparent ghost pops away from a human host

hey! sorry to interrupt but like I want to make sure new Bad Bunny Superbowl fans know about I Am Cuba (1964) I think they might like it. just want to get the word out #viral bye

didn't want to watch The Moment until I could see it freebleeding in the theater third row but finally I saw it today and it was so with the wait

I'm orchestrating this midlife crisis impeccably if I do say so myself

ChipDrop - which connects arborists with ppl willing to accept a dump truck full of wood chips - is one of my favorite examples of a site that simply & efficiently bridges a need. It even shows recent 'drops' and the time between request/delivery. getchipdrop.com

Me with someone I've met once: Micky my guyyyyyy hell YEAH what's up man? Y'all know this guy, Micky, this guy rules oh yeah damn man it's so great to see you! Me with someone I've known for 10 years: oh! hey.

Unsure how to feel about Verlaine resting atop "The House Archives Built and Other Thoughts On Black Archives" by @dorothyjberry.bsky.social but she seems to be absorbing the energy

Sorry to get radical but I don’t think it’s my job or yours to embrace, accept, understand - and certainly not to use - the thing being sold to us as AI. I don’t like any part of it, so I won’t. I’m missing out? Good, that’s what I want. You’re worried about me missing out? That’s fuckin weird, man.

had a tough day and I almost reached for a podcast but I said no, no, I don't need it

asked how this week I was gonna go and I got the Ten of Swords

has anyone run a semester course like hunger games / economics style where everyone can only get one number grade ranking from best to worst? Like so final grades are 100, 99, 98, etc. ideally there are 30 people in this class but increasing it could increase the fun

oh no I was not emotionally prepared to read about my students interests and hopes and dreams why did I ask them. there is pureness and beauty in the world. my frozen heart is gently thawing :'))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

I would be unfathomably feral

So what are we all doing for the 10 year anniversary of HYPERNORMALIZATION later this year?

y'all

I asked my husband if he had heard of the book "there is no anti-memetics division" and he said "I have never heard of this book" and it took a really long time to figure out if he was joking or not

the court of genAI has many jesters, jugglers, acrobats, and eunuchs

if they are on here they're not gonna need me to tell them

ok it's actually so fucking unbelievable that there were two Sonic shows on air at the same time in 1993 and one was hot dog jokes and the other was a grim fight for freedom over robotic overlords

when tech exec type guys say a fun fact and it's like "I am really into espresso! :)" do you think they genuinely are (just a simple guy) or do you think they intentionally picked something generic and affable (just a psychopath guy)

In 1 week @drtlwagner.bsky.social will kick off our new "Media Necromancy" speaker series with “’As Usual You Have Produced Yet Another Installment Worthy of Archiving’: The Persistence of Obsolescence in Queer Information & Media Technologies" more at skeuomorph.ischool.illinois.edu/our-research...

Last summer I was the Rose Library’s LGBTQ Collections Fellowship at Emory University. The blog for the archive just posted my write up as part of the fellowship. It is part of a bigger project of mine, but here is a sneak peak of some of what I am exploring: scholarblogs.emory.edu/marbl/2026/0...

Flagging for review—Ashley has not been speaking to her Co-pilot as often as her peers—this could lead to less than stellar results towards our OKRs! Consider opening an investigation into Ashley's dedication to the (org name) family. - - - — — — - - - EOM

#digipres mutuals, one day I promise I'll be back to posting questions and highly niche memes. But in the meantime, don't let the churn of the media cycle distract you. MN is still occupied. We continue to fight with all we've got. Because we know fascism looms large for ALL of us.

I keep thinking about the push for AI as adding the "is everyone really working?" level of surveillance to everyone's job, like AI is the coworker you are supposed to pair with all day and it is also a massive snitch. This isn't my area, who has been thinking about AI+surveillance+telemetry reports?

Why do all frozen foods come with air fryer instructions, .............. who is behind Big Air Fryer?
