George Miller??? Oh, this one hurts. I thought Mad Max: Fury Road was a cautionary tale, not his dream future.

Why does my omelette look like a scrunkly dog? 😂

Eid Mubarak! ✨ This celebration, Eid al-Adha, is all about trust during hardship. Sometimes life asks hard things of us, but today is a reminder of the joys that come after trusting we’ll make it through. It acknowledges the sacredness in perseverance. 💜

I don't want to 'utilize' AI. I don't want to become 'more efficient'. I don't want to outsource the process of actual thought to a machine. I want to struggle with my words and chip away at my own soul until something shining and glorious and mundane and fucking human emerges. That's being alive.

My short wlw story's got bundled up with a bunch of great, very queer stuff from DPP folks, check them out! 😊
