Duran Duran's first two albums (on cassette). I bought them at the same time so they were both first...

I love zines about how AI sucks. I love queer zines. Feel the same? Queer Zineographies might be for you! deepblue.lib.umich.edu/items/8fb952... 🏳️‍🌈 🚫🤖

Thank you to the reader and the AO3 kudos email. I really needed this today.

I'm only on page 37 and have already laughed several times. Thank you @katy-katy.bsky.social for recommending this!

This is so basic for keeping a community healthy that I'm sure our ancestors pre capitalism understood it. If you can spread something to others that can sicken or kill them, avoid that. So even though it may be so normalized that people are unable to do it, it's absurd we accept that as our world.

My unpopular opinion: If your "unpopular opinion" is just you hating on something popular, it's boring. Be brave, declare your love for things other people deride.

If anyone in or near Asheville, NC is looking for gender-affirming voice lessons, a friend of mine will be taking new clients this summer! They offer individual online classes, too www.diemervoicestudio.com

Finished this last night and 10/10 100% absolutely recommend to anyone even slightly interested in spiritual ecology, memoir, science writing, and/or social commentary, all through the eyes and voice of a former creepy kid who found solace in the woods patriciakaishian.com/forest-eupho...

Kids should be learning that AI output isn’t trustworthy, where it really comes from, and how it’s disrupting our ability to tell what’s real. They shouldn’t be learning that AI will make them more efficient or do their work for them because it can’t. That would be propaganda, not education

two new summer workshops, coming soon—one in forms (great for poets who already had a class but also beginners who crave a challenge) and one in fiction (especially for writers with many ideas who need new ways to write them down)

these zines are for sale on my kofi shop for $10 — slightly pricier than my other zines because of the whole hand-carved/hand-sewn business. Digital version is $2 if you just want to read about queer haircuts and magic femmes in the woods ko-fi.com/s/11128568a5

Passing this along - fucking scammers leveling up, here's a new one to pay attention to.

It’s commencement today at my university! This is wonderful.

I’ll block the world and melt with you

We need to start framing the push to embrace AI as what it is: anti-human. It’s anti-human by displacing human labourers, by destroying the planet for subpar work, by undermining human creativity, and finally by destroying our defining characteristic: our ability to problem solve.

if you've had a Nazi phase and grew out of it, congratulations. glad you did. you are, however, a fucking weirdo who needs to contend with that--not just the hatred. but also the fact that you were a very small minority of people who fell for that shit. address THAT and maybe. MAYBE we can talk

If you like this, you might also like the novellas “Defekt” and “Finna” by @ninocipri.bsky.social!

Right now: The Lighteaters, Zoë Schlanger Fearless, Sleepless, Deathless, Maria Pinto Last Days of the Dinosaurs, Riley Black Spell of the Sensuous, David Abram and I'm only halfway through Forest Euphoria by Patricia Ononiwu Kaishian, but can tell already it belongs on the list

Don't have OCs so: Guo Changcheng hosts, Chu Shuzhi grills, Shen Wei makes too many sides, Zhu Hong brings drinks, and Zhao Yunlan is banned from cooking. Shen Wei winds up bringing the plates, but he has Da Qing carry them to feel important. Lin Jing is just happy to be invited.

I'm on mutuals-only view for the time being so idk what the smoking discourse is and I don't really want to but I think everyone here already knows how I feel about smoking 😂

If the barista at a coffeeshop can refuse to give you coffee because their religion says caffeine is an abortifacient and you could maybe be pregnant, then you can absolutely tell your boss genAI is against your religion and they can't force you to use it. news.bloomberglaw.com/daily-labor-...

Some sort of third space that doesn't sell food and requires everyone to wear a well-fitted mask. I'd have free N95s and KN95s of different types/brands and fitting lessons for people who don't know how to get a good seal. Be pretty cool to offer discounted PCR tests too.

Yeah, I'm real tired of this narrative that disabled people "enjoyed" lockdown. Lockdown sucked. It just sucked less than dying of COVID, a thing the abled world doesn't care about anymore. I'm also tired of abled people mourning their time in lockdown more than they mourn the 1.2 million dead.

fuck sam altman forever for taking away the last places where we could engage in good faith: the creative arts, which should be a testament to human ingenuity. i am so mad that everything i read or listen to or admire is now tainted with doubt. do you understand? he is a thief of joy and i HATE HIM

Coachella is trying to wipe all of the footage of The Strokes protest set so I’m gonna post it here. The last images on the screen made me cry.

This is so incredibly gross.

Hey seriously, literally in the bills it says they'll also use identifying information, such as your age data for "other purposes". That means your data goes into a government surveillance database. This would be for ANY *OS*, which is the thing your fucking PC runs off of. Call your reps NOW.
