Our goal is to reach 50% of our fundraising goal for the Black Zine Fair by the end of the year. gogetfunding.com/black-zine-f... - If you can support us in bringing the fair to life, we would very much appreciate it.

With regards to small press publishing alone, having run one, it’s bullshit to say small presses need AI to be competitive.

Worst case scenario: wonderful friends

i hate that straight people have learned gay terms bc none of you know what a fucking bear is and if i see one more buff hunk with a little chest hair getting called a bear i'm going to become a literal bear and start eating people

"It's a dangerous thing to mistake speaking without thought for speaking the truth." rewatching GLASS ONION for the first time since it came out and...... christ. What I once thought was cringily over-the-top is now not going far enough.... I'm honestly super impressed (and heartbroken lolsob)

It's fun to imagine your cat saying tech evangelist stuff but it's all about cat butt. "By harnessing the power of cat butt, we hope to achieve record profits next quarter" "Cat butt isn't going anywhere" "We are a cat butt forward organization" Etc

One of the biggest mind shifts I’ve had since starting to research for this novella is how we might make decisions together in a liberated world. There are a lot of things I simply took for granted. Majoritarian voting really sucks, actually.

I’ve been reading old notes I took in architecture school. Found this in a study guide I had made for an old exam 😂

truly wild to use a photo of a kid happily reading a book in a freshly made bed as some kind of ominous sign of bad parenting

It's cool to be reading down an article of recent horror books going "Yes, ha ha ha YES" sickos style because they're all bangers and then stumble onto your own among them 🤩 A GAME IN YELLOW is in fantastic company here with BLACK FLAME, BAT EATER, and more 💛 bloody-disgusting.com/editorials/3...
