I think one of the upsetting things about the AI art discourse is that it has revealed (all over again) how many people in the world are genuinely angry and resentful that some artists get paid for a living.

Anthony Stewart Head will always be a real one for this. RIP www.thepinknews.com/2019/12/20/a...

Nooooooo😭😭😭😭

Artist! Quote with your fanart!

I’m from Illinois but Chicago pizza is overrated. MonicaL’s pizza is where it’s at.

I'm going to start saying I can't attend things because of "circumstances related to Government, and my love for the United States of America."

HR 2616, a national "Don't Say Trans" bill, has passed the House. Here's what it is, what it means, and what you should do right now to help kill the bill intended to bully children and erase trans people from public schools. bookriot.com/hr-2616-dont...

Idk I still think it’s worth putting to the test to find out, my dude.

Hi. I'm back to talk about why Marvel and DC should have a boutique romance line AU and who I'd like to see it in it. Some basic rules: 1) The project should have no more than 5 books 2) The first book should launch on Valentine's Day 3) No floppies 4) The project should have a companion web series

you cannot support his work in any way anymore

We lose so much when art is blanded down to "cast the widest net to catch as many people who will like or tolerate this but never fall in love"

I read Foreclosure Gothic in two hours last night. Terrific writing, so sharp and clear. About a guy who winds up buying and selling houses after a semi-successful short career as an actor. Great characterization, creepy and also moving moments. Excellent detail about houses. Highly recommend. 1/2

I need white people in hella white states to think about what they are saying when they insist redistricting blue states will solve the problem that Black people in Memphis just got disenfranchised. Redistricting Colorado is not gonna solve the problem. There's like 16 Black people in Colorado.

Somewhere in Paris by Frédéric Forest

I want to add that class in the U.S. is only legible among white people. Black people have been the MOST working class segment of U.S. society for decades AND YET... Black people are consistently written out of the narrative of "working class" USians.

Maybe they should start with providing affordable housing and food and schooling and the thing about antidepressants is even with all of that, people still need them. Because it’s not a thing that can just “be healed”

May the 4th be with you 🌌

Whoops. Didn’t realize it was Star Wars day until I got dressed in my Star Trek shirt. But now I’m not changing. It’s not a protest. I love both lol!

Meanwhile, a champ rises again.

I had a dream that my dad (who’s dead) had Chef Sherman over for a 4th of July weekend and we were all about to have a cook out before the fireworks started. Idk what to do with that but it feels important so I’m posting it to the internet, I guess.

Some stories are meant to be private and some are meant to be shared but at the end of the day all we want is for them to be listened to one way or another.

Psst… hey, hey, did you know you can actually get FREE comics tomorrow? Pass it on.

The fight we’re having over jobs, tech, and immigration already happened. And we know how it ends.

My grandma in law gave us a cursed wooden owl for Christmas 2019. Then my dad died. Then March 2020 happened. Then I struggled with infertility again. Then we burned it in a bonfire and the world has continued to be shit but once we burned it life personally got better for us.

oh its alien day today here's an oldie

Nah, the only thing that will heal it is getting a respectable person as president again.

Realized life is here to be happy not work(out) yourself to death, downgraded from a half marathon to a 10k, ran a PR, worthy of rest all the same!

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Star Wars/Trek, HP, LOTR, Marvel.

If we treated poor people as full humans worthy of dignity, we wouldn’t spend so much time policing them in the first place…

Today is Take Action for #libraries Day in the US, part of National Library Week, and World Book Day. 📚 Today is a perfect to contact Congress and tell them to oppose the dangerous HR 7661 and support the freedom to read.

Sicko.jpg Yes Yes Yesssss

Its #NationalLibraryWeek and I got to be on the radio!! Wanna hear about what I do as a career services librarian? Tune in at 1:06:10 and the history I got to research for our 150th anniversary! www.news-gazette.com/podcasts/pen...

Saw someone on linked in I know say “try this prompt on Grok” and whoo boooy that just flavored every interaction I’ll have with him with the ick now. But thanks for letting me know who you are my dude.

guys, this is how you lose the time war

The part about Mamdani not being always correct is important. Because he's gonna fuck up and make mistakes (like with the library budget thing) and we rightfully need to hold his feet to the fire for that. But like. This is socialism. We want this for everyone.

i respect season 2 of the pitt for saying "ignoring your depression & trauma doesn't make you the sympathetic hero, it makes you a problem in the fucking workplace"

Happy National Library Week! This week you should: 1) Donate $ to your local Friends of the Library 2) Write to your public library director to thank them for standing up for diversity or to condemn them for caving to fascists 3) Plan a similar public comment for the next library board mtg

4) If your library is on thr same social media platform as you, comment positively on their posts 5) Attend programming at your library 6) Renew your card if it's expired

Thinking about this door I saw in Edinburgh 2 years ago, again.

It is National Library Week and the Library of Congress has done a cute nationwide thing with old card catalogs highlighting a lot of their core programs. I'm partial to their "Free to Use and Reuse Sets" but I'm sure we've all got our faves. 📚 newsroom.loc.gov/news/library...

Fuck this. Man. I’m about to go back to disposable cameras.

I really can’t get over this Guardian article that referred to Trudeau as a “relatively young man” in the same paragraph they mention he’s 54 when I just finished this season of bridgerton where the stepmom is ten years older than the daughters and 1 year older than their love interest.
