depending on how my finances look at the end of the month, i maaaaay want to splurge on a switch 2 with kirby air riders and the new animal crossing update...mostly bc its cheaper than a framework 12 laptop 🫠

"being a billionaire that exclusively hires hot blonde women is the kind of thing a man who is named in the epstein files would do" - a thought i had when suddenly remembering a weird detail in Fifty Shades of Grey

this isnt so much the canary in the coalmine as it is like. the fourth body that drops while the miners continue mining but the stark difference in my tiktok experience is really disheartening. i tried sending a funny video to my spouse in canada--they were blocked from seeing it at all

"bro im sick of capitalism. anyone wanna join my skills-based bartering conclave?" - a thought i have much too often

Thank you for the clear labeling. Now if all academics would follow suit I can decide who I want to read and whose work I can safely ignore since it’s produced by theftbots

dont mistake me tho, i am NOT shy about blocking. but the vibe behind blocking vs muting feels markedly different and alas, i must act according to my whims.

love muting accounts. truly a wonderful middle ground between scrolling quickly past their posts or blocking the entire account. whoever came up with the mute function, know that you have my blade

it's funny how web dev in particular uses the word "modern" like "throw out the old way of doing things, retool to use the new way" i am personally much more interested in creating systems that don't need to be thrown out and redone every few years (months?)

i miss when the internet was not a fucking panopticon for the police state

i know that living in nyc is technically supposed to be advantageous career-wise for authors but financially, its the worst fucking decision you could make when you consider how little you make vs the cost of living.

The Second Best Hospital in the Galaxy has no reason to be that good

i am simply not cut out for this social media shit

my first horror movie experience pt 1 #art #artsky

i play the lead character Grey in the short film A GIANT LIVING EYE, we shot the whole thing last year in Norfolk, Virginia, currently the filmmakers are raising money for post-production costs, if you're interested in pledging, head on over here seedandspark.com/fund/a-giant...

why do my usual indie designers end up putting out similar apparel? a while back, they were all putting out boleros, now i see everyone is on a Howl's Moving Castle kick. not that im complaining. just Why

a conversation with a friend

got another AI-written email from one of those book scammers but this is the first time they called me "Mr. Tirado" lmfao my pen name is really weeding out the dumbasses

im watching Strip Law and "Is Zendaya even Meechee?!" fuckin SENT ME

great time for me to get into The X-Files then!

In case you didn't know, I have a patreon, so here's a free update on what you can find me filling it with (art, WIP projects, and podcasts)

i consider this mask my armor and the other 5 ppl masking in this airport are my comrades. my brothers in arms. we have sworn our loyalty and raised our banners against Every Airborne Illness That Fucken Exists. one day we will link arms in Valhalla. or maybe a Shake Shack, im not picky.

Silly little height diff doodle where I drew them both height accurate for once instead of giving Nana her off screen stepping stool like I always do #Beanstalked #OC #OCsky

i am so fucking tempted but i do not have 80 dollars to spend

if you wanna hear me take on a very fun role as a revolutionary, you should support this kickstarter!

tbt when i read that post to actual damon albarn www.vulture.com/2021/11/damo...

fucked up and about to turn 31 in like 13 min. wouldve thought i'd be dead by now

had a realization that the only reason im in tech (as both a worker and hobbyist) is because its more accessible than my first love, medicine. i can built a virtual machine and start coding in an afternoon, i can't fuckin practice suturing tho unless im a nursing/medical student smh

i know lots of ppl hate the word creative as a noun (and i do get it, i really do) but bro, i really am just doing too much in these streets, okay, i can't keep introducing myself as a "writer, producer, voice actor, director, showrunner--" whenever ppl ask about me 😭

Every day I am filled with hate because my heart overflows with my love of the computer. aftermath.site/ram-prices-h...

✨ COVER REVEAL ✨ @tlotlotsamaase.bsky.social ’s House of Margins drops this May, a chilling literary thriller about a missing African writer, a colonial mansion, and a truth buried deep in history. Preorder now at www.sistahscifi.com #SistahScifi #HouseOfMargins #TlotloTsamaase

i need to make it clear that it isn't the dysphoria that makes me want to greet Death with open arms--its the fact i consistently waste money on Cute Clothes That Make Me Feel Bad.

i need to hire a sniper to keep their gun trained on me whenever i do online shopping. i keep coming across very cute, feminine outfits that i love!! in theory!! and then i buy them and they arrive, and im reminded that cute, feminine outfits make me dysphoric.

"why not just use AI to make it for you" oh! sorry, you must have me confused for someone who has a bizarre contempt for the creative process. i actually like making things. the making is my favorite part of the thing. sounds like you're incapable of experiencing the joy of creation, tho?

made the mistake of going on the framework website and now i dream of holding the framework 12.2 laptop under moonlight

listen i love working tech support but i am SICK to DEATH of a full time job, why are we still working 40 hours a week!! give me a 4 day work week for the love of GOD

idk what atproto is and im too afraid to ask

watching Rabbit Trap with the homies and watching dev patel step into a faerie ring is killing me--WHAT IS ALL THAT MELANIN FOR IF UR JUST GONNA ACT LIKE A WHITE PERSON

working on a new screenplayyyyyy

anyway guess who passed thheir ham radio General exam!!! its me!!!

you know for all of their bravado and insisting they're real artists, AI "artists" seem to be real embarrassed of the fact they used AI to "make" anything. they literally never want to admit to doing it and even when ppl ask if they did, they'll wring their hands and go "well technically yes BUT--"

too alive for nausea unfort...
