Device…hoarding. Because you don’t go get a new one while yours is still fine. Apparently I am also practicing car hoarding, house hoarding, husband hoarding, dog hoarding, computer hoarding, furniture hoarding and art hoarding.

That’s it. I’m getting a recipe tin to keep them in, when on index cards after I’ve made the recipe twenty times.

tech bro: i have made Artificial General Intelligence programmer: you fucked up a perfectly good calculator is what you did. look at it. it's got anxiety

Remember: you don't have to spend Thanksgiving with people you don't like or don't want to. I'll be your alibi. You tell them a little stuffed bull says he needs you here.

If you like an author's work, the best thing you can do is buy it. The second best thing you can do is ask your local library to buy it. Or, do both!

Today in 1988 Mystery Science Theater 3000 premiered on KTMA in St. Paul Minnesota. #MST3K

So a big part of the Project 2025 goals hinges on forcing women out of the workforce. The Heritage Foundation knows that women voters hold the most power in terms of sheer numbers. If they can push you out of the workforce, they can push you out of your voting rights.

Of all the faith based philosophies, the one that has the most evidence against it is privatization.

Youth transitioners being treated as de facto criminals and deviants

Whenever this is mentioned, it is obligatory to post xkcd 2381, in which @gretchenmcc.bsky.social shares forbidden linguistic knowledge with the masses.

If you think your friend group doesn’t have one, please consider YOU may be the entity.

Please don't fall for the lie that AI is 'going to lead to a three day work week.' Sadly, MOST 'innovation' applied to labor results in WORSE CONDITIONS. Cellphones made us available when we were not in the office. Emails destroyed the boundary of business hours. It always asks us for more.

“laws are threats made by the dominant socioeconomic-ethnic group in a given nation. it’s just the promise of violence that’s enacted & the police are basically an occupying army.”

del Toro mentioned off handedly in an interview that he was discussing a Count of Monte Cristo project with Oscar Isaac and I nearly passed out from how much I need his adaptation of it holy crap

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back

Been drawing so many reindeer at work these days 🦌

<sigh> Whole lotta people out there who still seem to think they can rules-lawyer their way out of creepy. I liked it better when we were talking about the Burgess Shale.

*supervillain with a heart of gold voice* Well well well

One of the many reasons we have to fight the rise of the far right is the risk they pose to undoing the progress we *have* made.

The idea that "too many" people are getting diagnosed with neurodivergences is roughly akin to the idea that too many people win the lottery and they just give millions to anyone who buys a ticket. It's utterly divorced from reality.

This is legit why exec level in a lot of places are obsessed with copilot. It takes their word salad and turns it into a word salad that sounds smarter (but isn't).

At the Texas Book Festival I was asked what would happen if all 8 billion people on the planet were replaced by clones of me, and I noted that meant there would be 8 billion people who couldn't do math but could generate snarky quips, which meant we would all be dead of sarcasm in under two weeks.

If you can't come out right now, please don't hate yourself. One day, the meaning of labels will disappear. Please love yourself as you are. The one who can cherish yourself the most is yourself. Because that is your strength and beauty. Chiitan loves you

It's #WIPWednesday! I have been busy the past couple weekends and haven't had time to paint, but last night I had an economics lecture to listen to and I managed to get the horse part painted.

people bitch about woke media but if TOS was on today they would go to a thinly-veiled MAGA planet where the locals worshipped guns and then kirk would hit the orange dictator with a two-fisted karate chop before giving a lecture about how science is real and violence is bad

a lot of queer folk can't quite put their fingers on why they're so angry and upset about this shit and yeah no this is it. We all know and we even know that they know too. Eg the MP can't even give a single line explaining how this phone shit would have helped Brianna. They're just playing dumb.

Also congrats to @yumewrites.bsky.social, @bingewriting.bsky.social, @nnedi.bsky.social @annaleen.bsky.social and @aptshadow.bsky.social, among several others, for their placement in the first round! It's good to be among friends and such fine writers.

This is a first for me: I have two books (When the Moon Hits Your Eye and The Shattering Peace) in the first round of the Goodreads Choice Awards, in the science fiction category. If you'd like to vote for either (or any other very worthy candidate), here's a link: www.goodreads.com/choiceawards...

Because these chemicals can linger in water, soil, and even the human body. The public will have less data about potential exposure. The EPA will take public comments for 45 days before deciding whether to finalize the new exemptions.

The Youngest was hanging out in my studio and asked me to draw a baby dragon. We named him Clay Pot. ...I think I love him.

If there's one thing I would like everyone over 25 to know, it's that way more of the government is run by the people who just decided to show up to meetings than you realize. Attend a couple city commission meetings yourself, and they lose a lot of the mystique.

This game is adorable. And if you're not entirely steeped in this kind of game (like me), you might even even get a good half hour of pointing and clicking out of it (like me). I wish there'd been a couple more locations, the art is perfect!

Incidentally, Barilla’s owner is a big Trump supporter and has said he doesn’t want gay people buying his pasta.

If you can get to an event with this author, I recommend that you do. I had a good time at the one I attended.

*pulling petals off a flower* it’s so over, we’re so back, it’s so over, we’re so back

A reminder that this anti-trans panic is 100% bullshit and exactly none of our country’s problems are related to someone expressing their gender identity and everyone who isn’t a hate-filled weirdo knows it.

Am I the only one who really wishes dogs could talk?

If you don’t derive any benefit from the act of writing, no pleasure or catharsis or satisfaction, why are you doing it? This isn’t meant to be an aggressive question, I’m not demanding an answer, but it’s a thing you may want to ask yourself. Life is short and you could do something else?

This is honestly one of the cleverest lines I’ve ever written and I remain ungodly proud of it.

I love how they say “appearing to close his eyes,” like there’s a possibility he’s wearing remarkably lifelike eyelid-colored sunglasses. Also the drooping side definitely has not gone away, which makes me wonder if he’s doing something to try to hold it up when awake. (Can you do that?)

Grateful for this Delta flight attendant for providing some clarity on the upcoming changes to flights during the holidays. Listen in ⬇️
