Umm, howdy folks!! 🐹Lily and I are having a fundraiser from our hotel room in Minneapolis-St. Paul! We're going to post a lot of rarely- or never-before-seen work here in the coming days mega-hyper-alert-x68000.cicadamarionette.com

My mother just had a stroke. I need to go see and take care of her for a bit. I had money set aside for it but a good chunk of it just got gobbled up cuz I forgot to cancel automatic payment on one of her (formerly our) important bills. I made a mistake. I am sorry. ko-fi.com/bachelor_sof...

Woke up and learned my bank account is overdrawn and that I need to be out of this place by tomorrow and I do not currently have anyplace to go. If anyone can help or knows a place I can crash it would be appreciated. I’m told I’m a pretty ok, pretty quiet, pretty cute venmo.com/u/bsoft

please help these cool folks out!!

EMERGENCY please share widely!! we're a trans couple who have had really bad luck with housing the last couple years and need to find a place by April 1st, it would be a true miracle if we can just find a place. WE ARE WILLING TO PAY!! spinnylights.net/hyper_alert/

Daphy Michel’s death is heartbreaking. She should never have been left alone & vulnerable, far from her family & support system after her release from federal custody. Our community is demanding answers. No one should ever be put in this kind of position. migrantinsider.com/p/the-loneso...

is it just me, or does the british media actually /want/ the u.s. to go to war in iran? am i crazy? like, every single major newspaper to a T? they all seem quietly thrilled at the idea? bit of longing for when the uk could call a lot of shots there? that's not just for brexiteer types i guess??

NO. WAR. STOP. NO.

Right now I am dealing with seizures, fucked vision, difficulty walking, and I can’t hear out of my left ear. Last one will be fixed soon hopefully but it still stinks! Also I am overdrawn and unemployable. So that is why I am constantly begging. Plz forgive, many thx ko-fi.com/bachelor_sof...

i often think of bush jr.'s presidency as the outblown then-as-farce to his dad's first-as-tragedy; at the same time i guess this kind of event really shows that sometimes even the farce gets a then-as-farce…worth noting that bush sr.'s administration also kidnapped a powerful south american perhaps

new little interactive toy - Captive Princess Simulator cmoorhen.itch.io/captive-prin... pretty self explanatory

i feel like the state of the culture right now is one in which like, e.g. einstein publishing work on the theory of relativity would not lead to headlines like "lights all askew in the heavens" but rather the public would just say "uh okay 🙃 personally i prefer 19th-century physics" and then move on

i feel so sad and angry at all the immigration stuff going on. it hurts everyone. immigrants in the U.S., people in other countries, everyone in the U.S. itself, just for the sake of meaningless, pointless racism and xenophobia. i wish i had something more productive or insightful to say, just upset

YOU TOO can experience visions of the underworld, if only you'll join me...

apropos of relatively nothing, i think a nice way to think about (in Ruby) the syntax of `alias` and `alias_method` is as analagous to `def`; e.g. `alias_method :inspect, :to_s` is like saying "here we define a new method called 'inspect' that's just an alias of 'to_s'"

one upside of using vim is that when your cat walks on your keyboard it's particularly crazed 😂 as you can see this single line comes out to 3,539,131 characters (approx. 3.5 MB of text)

No, HIPAA does not protect these records. Here's why, from my preprint.

Working on getting a copy of this up on SSRN this week now that I'm back from vacation. Incredibly relevant. bsky.app/profile/esqu...

The DOJ subpoenas to providers of gender affirming care wanted the therapy notes, social security numbers, and addresses of patients. This is an unprecedented and disgusting violation of medical privacy. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

do y'all know what i'm talking about? i know "extraordinary rendition" hasn't been in the media much since like, the 2000s, but i do think that tendency has an awful lot in common with the current style of deportations, both in terms of the diplomatic mechanics and the u.s. executive mentality

if anyone wonders where the u.s. executive picked up the impulse to skirt around the courts by unilaterally throwing people it's afraid of into holes of state in more conveniently repressive countries, or how it built up the connections to do this quickly and easily, i can't help but recall…

i think this would make for a lovely design on a trivet or potholder

re last rt, lily and i did the aquarium zone for that game, v fun project ^^ iir she did most of the 3D models and textures, and i did most of the animations and materials/shading, as well as the audio…we did everything together tho ultimately, it was very side-by-side collaborative

i sent this letter to the editor last week but i doubt they'll publish it and based on some arguments i've seen recently i'm worried about this message getting lost in the noise

@spinnylights.bsky.social are you purposefully using my handle? i've had several people get confused and think that your account is mine…
