I did some art to go with my music. ^-^ sharkgirl.io/shrk_/

Excuse me?

I just wanted to share this: foxprints.org/eternity/

Commodore phone is super freaking cool. Now make a sidekick clone with a keyboard, and 5G, and I'll buy it in a heartbeat. XD

I have a confession: I hate soccer. I grew up playing it, and had fun right up until I started getting yellow cards for "over-aggressive play." Nobody could define what they meant. But we're trying to compete, right? To win? I'm not doing anything to endanger my opponents. What does that mean?

No, and also FUCK YOU, Reddit.

Never seen aurora like this before ~

Cinchona coffee in Colorado Springs is LEGIT AF. Lovely multi-roaster shop. Top notch baristas, great atmosphere, nice equipment, and they sell Timemore gear! Happy, happy dragon.

If you ever want to understand the dangers of human cognition, watch them at a sports event.

A huge contributing factor to the death of society was paywalls on news sites.

this whole online ID verification push stuff is turning me into a weird crank at rapid speed because I've never seen such an unpopular policy forced through with such speed in so many countries simultaneously with basically zero real consent from any population, just pure elite collusion

What's the point of any of this? I wanted to fly for a living, but not at the expense of having no life outside of work.

This airline job is a dead-end job. Don't get paid enough, work way too much, and don't want to be away from @jql.digital and @hyena.fyi ... not really having fun anymore, but I can't leave it either.

Ahoy space cadets! I have some exciting news! My third book, "Ephemeris", is in Release Candidate stage! The interior design is done, the cover design is done, and all that remains is a bit of cover art. I'm eying an August 14 release date, thirteen years after the first book in the series.

Meanwhile . . .

It's almost Art Fight time!~ #artfight #furryart #art #shadowrunoc #sharkgirl #dragon artfight.net/~sekka_shrk

So guess what? No, really, this is exciting! My third book, Ephemeris, is in Release Candidate stage! Just waiting on some cover art, at which point it will be ready for release! I'm considering releasing it on Aug 14, exactly thirteen years after my first book "Theta." It's happening!! Eeee!

90% of modern media criticism just sounds like this

Every time I contact elected representatives about an issue I believe strongly in, I either get no response or get a response explaining that I'm wrong. Or responding about something entirely unrelated. Or a boilerplate response. But usually one of the first two.

This is about the UK, but it's very applicable to the US as well "wanting a different set of voters than the ones they have" really nails the issue with mainstream liberal parties right now

Indeed. Same with medical and scientific journals where research is funded (in any way) by public money.

Court records belong to the public. PACER's paywall puts a price on public access. The Open Courts Act would modernize federal court records and eliminate PACER fees. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

Hi. Commercial VPNs are a pretty much just a scam. Thanks for coming to my ted talk.

you should qrp with your artfight profile. Looking forward to this year! ^_^ artfight.net/~sekka_shrk/ is me!

Artfight reveal video was beautiful <3

It wasn't supposed to be like this.

I love the Internet of 2026. It's so great. Every fucking few clicks, Cloudflare decides I'm a fucking bot. Half the time I can't click on shit on the website because some javascript shitbox moves it out of the way as I click, causing me to click something else. Every day it becomes more hostile.

Why do humans allow society to reach a point where the truly evil people are entirely above any form of punishment, no matter what they do, but people who make small mistakes, or steal because they're hungry, or commit victimless crimes are put in for-profit prisons for a huge chunk of their life?

Also, if I haven't said so recently: Fuck Matt Mahan & Gavin Newsom.

Is it just me, or is anyone else really depressed seeing how many people are still voting red?

I have a strange question. I've been doing art all my life ... and I suck at it. Grinding away at studies and such does have a slight, temporary improvement, but nothing lasts. I'm better at 3D art, and my rendering is ok. How do I reset my art and start over? Can I?

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.
