My daughter's pithy summation: "Covid reminded people they lived in a society; and they hated it."

The discourse around "This is a tell for AI writing" really only serves the AI bros, because (they believe) it will tell them how to change the AI to make it indistinguishable from a human. We need to keep our em dashes. Our rules of three. The tell for AI is: is it hollow, does it say nothing.

It's time to do that thing you've been wanting to do

YouTube app has changed again, and it's just why? Why!!!! I hate the enshitification of technology, not just as a user, but as a professional. I went in specifically to use my skills to help people. And now I'm afraid if I'm ever healthy enough to be hired as an engineer again, I won't want to.

Pro chronically ill freelancer move. Know the new medication is due in soon, so expedite and/or renegotiate a delivery so you got a few days/week to tritate your medicine without worrying about deadlines.

I could be reading Dungeon Crawler Carl. Or I could be writing insane feats........ and _then_ read Dungeon Crawler Carl.

What we forgot to photograph is we were 1 under death on the water meter as well. One more waters rise and we were done for. .... You know it was in the next 2 cards, right?

hm. i have seen the theater kids are once again trying to claim ownership over TTRPGs. this weird introvert erasure will absolutely stand... because extroverts scare us.

FYI trans Americans with a Canadian ancestor can apply for expedited processing on their applications for Canadian citizenship!

Here's my message to Kickstarter if you need something to start with.

fun reminder that every minute your favorite artist has to spend dealing with shit like this is another minute they aren't making that art you love

I'm not going to claim that bitch out to Kickstarter about the new Mature Content Guidelines was entirely comprehensible (end of day brain not going well)... but if not, I'll just submit it again later! Let's flood 'em folks! bsky.app/profile/did:...

I feel like what publishers took away from Baldur’s Gate’s success is that every game needs to have like 5000 hours of content, instead of the much more valuable takeaway imo: you need to let players have sex with a demon lady and a man who turns into a bear

So much of how society got here & so much abuse directed at marginalized communities is because bigots and monsters figured out how to be hatemongers “politely” and slip past corporate moderators, and when those communities rightfully angrily push back against it they are banned for being “abusive”

Here's where you can make your voice heard, and it would be wonderful if more than just the smut peddlers ourselves gave them feedback. help.kickstarter.com/hc/en-us/req...

Kickstarter officially banning adult content now. Knew this was coming, but it still sucks to have yet another part of the internet that I've been explicitly evicted from. Digital gentrification is exhausting.

More than that, it’s salesmen, hundreds of Harold Hills promising music lessons and revitalization of a way of life that never existed and yet always was, convincing us we should give them money and our ideas for things that don’t exist. They’re selling us unhealthy “independence”.

There's disappointed I can't keep up with hymns at church. Than there's frustrated I can't sing along to Kpop demon hunters. And then there's outright choking when Golden appears on the church program because you can't stand it anymore.

If someone knew a perfect one secret trick to make money with no risk they would never ever tell you

Avi learns paint pens part 2! I wish I had refined the sketch more before I started laying down paint because there are some issues with the proportions. I’m still learning how to create texture with the different colors. Also I should have left the grass off lol. But it’s a good learning moment!

She doesn’t want brunch. She wants you to book her a 90 minute massage followed by a facial and a mani pedi.

I did start this starter pack: go.bsky.app/BJbaEcL

Some people don’t have family, friends or a spouse to care for them. Some people don’t have an emergency fund or a back up plan. When you lose your health, you can quickly become broke & homeless. This can happen to anyone. Everyone deserves safe, loving care and a roof over their heads.

You don't hate AI enough.

I feel attacked.

None of us can cancel everything. But all of us can cancel SOMETHING. One eminently practical suggestion: Does your family have more than one Amazon Prime account? You absolutely don't need more than one! Cancel one of those tonight!

Two things can be true: 1) There’s hardly any chance that hantavirus will turn into a massive, uncontainable problem and 2) We should treat it as airborne, bc the cost of doing so is nothing compared to the consequence of “oops”

HBG has launched their anti-union campaign by spreading anti-union flyers via our company portal and common spaces. The flyers use tired talking points, framing the union as a third party that will harm our existing benefits & workplace culture. But the union is all of us, & we won’t be intimidated

We, the employees at Hachette Book Group, are proud to announce that we are unionizing with Washington-Baltimore NewsGuild-CWA Local 32035, of the AFL-CIO, in order to ensure better benefits, protections, and rights for workers as well as increased equity, transparency, and agency in the workplace.

US GAME WORKERS: Let’s talk healthcare. UVW is exploring union-sponsored solutions and we need your input. Workers based in the US are invited to complete this survey — union and non-union welcome! Take the survey: uvw-cwa.org/healthcare-t...

I'm not sure why doctors are suddenly so excited about transcription when it can be wildly incorrect with GenAI, instead of when it was just captured or unclear with things like Dragon Naturally Speaking back in the day. Oh, it's probably the corpo overlords :/

There are many stereotypes abt Black ppl. Most of them negative. But the ultimate truth about our legacy is simple. The legacy of the African American is that we won rights for every demographic. Every domino that fell, it began with Black liberation struggles. Freedom of movement? We gave you that.

I called a blanket a cow, and a flipper paddle a thumb today. I am doing FANtastic!

My kids got a reading bingo card from school, and one item is audiobook. Oh no, do I have aaaaanything that's child appropriate. (Before I check the library, I know before you tell me). Enchanted Forest Chronicles!!! Hmmm maybe? This could be a real treat. Its full cast too.

We are honored to officially announce that PaizoCon is uncancelled! The Know Direction Network will host PaizoCon Online 2026. knowdirectionpodcast.com/2026/05/know...

I must move at end of August due to prop manager bs. I need to crowdfund all moving costs. I am Disabled and live off benefits, so I have very limited funds. Need it by mid-July! Pls share and/or donate! Ty! 💕💸🏳️‍⚧️ #TransCrowdFund #DisabilityCrowdFund #MutualAid ko-fi.com/azralhawthor...

thus opening the door for Spirit Halloween Airlines

We know! We know we'd sell more! But guess what? ✨🌈🦄 I don't want transphobe money! ✨🌈🦄 Oh no! Transphobes won't read my books! Threaten me with a good time why don't you

I’m sure there’s a layer of the Hells that’s just all HOAs with insane zoning regulations.

The monsters should organize a union.

This kind of mixed use urban planning is illegal in America

Another unionization thought. Before we unionized at Paizo, we hemorrhaged staff. I am the only member of the 2018 editing team left at the company. By 2020, we had lost almost everyone. Then we unionized, and no editors have quit since. This is not a coincidence.
