Random reminder that I have a discord for my writing! (And gaming, live reading, chilling :) discord.gg/aZ5MDh6Mgz

I just wanted to share a bit of music from my parents. Give it a listen, if you're inclined. luckymudmusic.com/track/196334...

I see Wikipedia’s editors are really friggin’ fast

your regular reminder that the national shoplifting crisis was a manufactured moral panic largely engineered by corporations in order to cover up their own mismanagement — and that wage theft is the largest category of theft in the U.S.

Saw a Ram "rolling coal" on Lawrence Expy yesterday. Submitted as a gross polluter.

For people who think that AI is inevitable or worry it is, I made starter packs of game devs refusing to use AI, and in less than 24 hours had more than 200 devs ask to be included. Creatives don't want this and won't use it. You just need to support those who won't use it.

Oh and by the way, things like google pivoting to AI set us back BEFORE the modern internet, not just before google, due to their monopoly. "Moving everything to AI" is actually about disabling the agency of individual people. It's deleting the massive cultural memory that the internet represents.

I'm also tempted to block anyone who constantly spews stuff about interpersonal drama, or beefs with someone on main, with screenshots, receipts, "proof," etc. I don't even care how right they are—the problems facing the world are larger. Grow up. Settle differences or block and ignore.

Also, and this will likely sound cold, I'm getting really tired of getting spammed with "mutual aid" requests from people I don't know. The whole world is effed, fam; broadcasting constant requests for help—and then getting angry that those requests haven't been fulfilled—just services the loudest.

I saw a post on a fairly popular, normal (I thought) Reddit thread last night, about a kid who hit his teacher after the teacher confiscated his phone. I was absolutely horrified at the blatant, open, horrible racism in every. single. comment that wasn't downvoted to oblivion. Humans ain't ok.

I occasionally wander into older corners of the internet and find older dialogue and discussions, and it's like "oh yeah, humans used to be smart and literate."

if you wanna be my rooster, you gotta get with my hens…

Why can't I have a mountain? It doesn't have to be a very big one, or a popular one. Don't I deserve a mountain?

I think tech tutorials should be text with screenshots

guilty pleasure: I enjoy Reddit.

Our sister ship Oxomoxo is off for the Swiftsure yacht race around Victoria Island! Wish her good luck and favorable winds ... and good hunting. ^_^

My 1999 self would weep at how totally broken the internet has become. AI slop, social media walled gardens that rot the brain, surveillance pricing and advertising, every single goddamn website has an endless cloudflare captcha loop before you get to read anything. Burn it all down.

Other sharks vs lemon sharks 🦈

Well. One lesbian. And a @draconic.one <3

Digital surveillance abuses are being normalized across the Americas—but we can fight back. EFF's new guide lays out concrete steps governments must take to protect privacy rights and end arbitrary state surveillance. eff.org/deeplinks/2...

Boat day ^_^ ALTHOUGH I WANT TO GO SAILING, DAMMIT. xP

the internet wasn't supposed to be like this.

For advanced surgical outcomes. >_>

I had somebody recently say "dude, my car can beat your jet in the quarter mile" and I was like "Oh yeah, definitely. But we'll smoke you from 100-500 mph, and our climb rate is way better too."

Hi Doreen! ;P

o~ The squirrel is a vampire o~ In spite of my rage, I'm still just a squirrel in a cage o~ We are living in a material world, and I am a material squirrel o~ Oh I'm just a squirrel in the world . . . that's all that you'll let me be o~ Fat bottom squirrels, you make the rockin' world go round

I love skating. Sometimes I just skate for fun when I think nobody's watching. But my Nixy caught me on video.

You don’t hate country music, you just hate the same 100 songs of bootlicking corporatized trash about saluting the flag while drinking a beer in your truck at a football game next to your pretty silent wife in daisy dukes who also knows how to fish.

This is your periodic reminder that word of mouth moves more books than any formal advertising! I invite you to rec something you've recently enjoyed -- preference for the stuff that's *not* already extremely well-known and talked about everywhere.

I have ordered my $40 taco bell dinner ala doordash, because everything else in Huntsville is closed (or worse). Yo ho, yo ho, a pilot's life for me.

What's your favorite beverage? #VRChat

Ok, I'm going to just say this: Ethics aside, economics aside, everything else aside: I'm REALLY getting sick of AI slop as an aesthetic.

I have arrived in the California Free State. The fog is thick, and it's interesting here astrally. Much nicer. I will now find a place to lair.

The weather here is lovely, I will say. There's a storm approaching as I prepare to leave; its wind across my scales feels magnificent, and I feel its power in my core. I hope there are no disian harvesters in this region—it would be a difficult place to mount an offensive.

I have failed to secure support within the CAS. The sentiment here is mixed, and I got suspicious looks when the subject came up. Unfortunately, the "mana storms" are worsening, and I fear another Fargo soon if nothing changes. Or worse. Today I begin my journey to the California Free State.

The metahumans here seem lost, as though they were only partially on this plane, but there are no more present astrally…

I just passed crazed ork woman on the street corner, yelling into a megaphone about some strange religion. Judgment, conquest, and kings. I'm sure some dragon somewhere would be happy here, but my dark scales and skin both burn unpleasantly in this sun, and I belong to return to the grey and cool.

My visit to the CAS has proven ineffective thusfar. The air elementals seem to dominate this "Oklahoma." I spent some time watching them racing down the plains. Thunderstorms came through just prior to my arrival, leaving the land cooler. I've yet to establish contact with local runners.

No autopilot today, flying from Detroit to Chicago. Adventure!

Once I have eaten (no metahumans were harmed in the making of this post, I promise), I shall take wing to begin my journey to a city in the CAS known as "Oklahoma City." I have no idea what the denizens will be like, but with Seattle locked down, other cities need support. Always trust dragons.

In my effort to recruit for the Defenders, I have stopped at yet another runner coffee bar in Detroit named Dessert Oasis. This one has a seedier clientèle. Mostly deckers, perhaps a face or two. But the coffee is better here—makes the other place seem more like a Soykaf bar. Pleased dragon.

Detroit day two: No insect spirits so far. No dragons appear to have territorial claims here, so I am not transgressing. I am comfortable. Metahumanity here has a different flavor than Seattle. I even found a runner coffee bar called "Mad Cap." I shall fly out tonight, once I'm rested and fed.

In Detroit. Eyes peeled for insect spirits...

One Community, for all. Our director Yinx shares some thoughts from the heart on recent goings-on. confuzzled.org.uk/2026/05/06/o...

I have a 20 hour overnight in Detroit on this trip! Never been before for more than a min-rest overnight. What should I do while there? ^_^

You don't need more protein. It's a fad. Any normal diet will get enough. Same for most supplements. Eat a balanced diet such as green, leafy vegetables with a normal serving of a reasonably-healthy protein (like chicken, fish, tofu, or legumes such as beans). Thanks for coming to my ted talk.
