Sorry, I thought the little bird in the clock would want some time outdoors.

oh no, I went to G Newsome's page and found out that I have something in common with him. No no no no no

let's not talk about how it broke this morning

My mother was a Theater historian (though not a Shakespeare specialist) and her Shakespearean conspiracy theory was that he had an actual adult actress in his troupe for a while, and knew it, and wrote the roles of Lady Macbeth and Cleopatra for her.

is this little anus of evil just going to be a permenant fixture of google docs now? Is there no way to get rid of it? thanks i hate it™

I've mentioned it before, but this show is where Amelia Temple got her name

Holy crap. "Paul Within Paganism," the book I co-edited w/ Paula Fredriksen & @alexichantz.bsky.social, got a long review essay in The New Yorker! Still sifting through the disparate threads Gopnik tries to tie together. Well earned shout-outs in it to @ryancollman.bsky.social @zafulotus.bsky.social

it’s lesbian visibility week! and trans lesbians are lesbians too (we’re also v good at kissing just thought you should know)

Hey real quick what happened to the left after they trusted those centrists

Our cat has been trying to make his Great Escape to the outside since we brought him in from the outside. Today he got his chance because Del has learned how to shoulder the back door open so she can come back inside (lord) and so she left it hanging open and AndyHoudini took his shot.

THIRTY MINUTES. thirty goddamn minutes.

CIO at previous job was 100% certain that we'd be using block chain for everything, that company never implemented a single system using block chain. A CxO job title, doesn't give you clairvoyance. It'd be embarrassing if they actually believed it, this is just to pump their stock in the AI bubble.

if you see this, post something orange from your gallery.

that's a great way to go about this business of crushes. they're very intense when you first get them but they also don't last. waiting them out is definitely freeing. you don't have to act on your crushes. you can just let those emotions slide off and return with fresh eyes and a clear head.

We have a deal. theonion.com/at-long-last...

With the help of the Sandy Hook families, The Onion has reached a long-awaited deal to take over InfoWars. We've enlisted the help of @timheidecker.bsky.social, who will be InfoWars' Creative Director. Please stand by for more.

Think of all the sins Edmund Pevensie would've committed if he had access to modern candies and treats or, like, cocaine.

New STARRED review from @ala-booklist.bsky.social for @blipstress.bsky.social PLASTIC, PRISM, VOID!! “Skillfully carries the plot through the pandemonium to reach a surprising ending that will leave readers clamoring for part two.” Already clamoring for Part One? PREORDER NOW: shorturl.at/pen47

I actually liked this podcast enough to listen to the whole thing // highly recommended

In February 2025, Mills was investigated for domestic violence against his mistress. In August, 2025, another woman sued Mills, alleging that he had threatened her with revenge porn. Mace has pushed for greater transparency into sexual harassment investigations and payouts in Congress.

There used to be a lil Greek bakery(? café? idk how to classify it) inside the old Lansing City Market before they tore it down, and they used to make a lima bean & spinach soup w/ a tomato base. It's been easily 15 years since I've had it and I still miss it to this day. All hail the humble lima.

So miss me with the AI literacy solutions. In fact, keep missing me until you propose “AI literacy” that teaches folks how these systems incorporate systemic oppression into its operations. That’s the kind of literacy we need.

Anyone arguing that some flavor of AI literacy will protect women from AI deep fake porn is at best unserious and at worst desperate to protect their automated goon generator. This is prima facie not a literacy problem.

So I am reflecting on AI as one does and I have come to realize that “learn to use AI” and “embrace AI” and “develop AI literacy” won’t fucking protect ua from existential and stochastic harms of AI, and my overlooking this as a vector for criticism is really something.

Y'all, I know we're all waiting for it to happen, but what if it's already happened and he's being puppeted by a necromancer in New Zealand?

I keep trying to write a little thing about the book, but the problem is that my statement on the book is the book itself, and any reading of it I give would be lesser instantiations of its ideas. So instead I want to do a thread about all the book's non-literary inspirations.

I promised a second thread on Plastic, Prism, Void & here it is! This time I want to talk about it as writing, not as typesetting. And I want to talk about it as writing about love, specifically about trying to be loved as a trans woman. (remembering to put the pre-order link at the top this time!)

when is Project Full of Grace coming out? I'd hate to start something not knowing if it's ever going to be finished

This complaint is about: a. our ai tech overlords b. our politicians c. the Epstein files d. Gideon the Ninth

Colorful doodle for today's #DrawAFlowerADay

At least they had to give us one off on the days that it rained men. They didn't really have a choice. There was blood, & broken bits of human bodies everywhere. We had to stay inside our houses while the biohazard teams burned them, then hosed off the streets. I still dream about it sometimes too.

Peony blooms are getting ready to pop 🌱

Well, I had an embarrassment of riches to choose from for the #RepostYourArt theme of #critter since that's 90% of what I draw. Critter to me implies cuteness and I think this person is very cute!

1. Amazon has built powerful pricing algorithms that have learned how to steer prices upward — not just on Amazon, but across the web. I have a new piece on how these algorithms work, and how they help sustain Amazon’s monopoly.

The company sent it to me when I was a tech journalist, hoping for a review. Welp, here's my much-deserved good review, 26 years later. The Adaptive Sound Technologies sleep + sound is excellent, and will last you decades. That is the rarest thing in late capitalism. www.soundofsleep.com/soundsleep/

I have been reading Yuri Is My Job, and wanted to draw Yano and Hime. I am almost fully caught up with it, and have watched the first couple of episodes of the anime as well. #Art #YuriIsMyJob
