Good Morning, World

New addition to the bookshelf (hi randy)

Okay, okay. I still haven't cleaned the mirror yet. That's on me.

"Advocacy groups" is the giveaway here. We have former NYT staff detailing the deep transphobic bent at an editorial level. We have dozens of examples of articles with scientifically unsound sourcing. We have court cases citing said articles as grounds for stripping rights. But yeah. Demented.

will no one think of the smol bean New York Times opinion editors

Is there anyone in my follower circles with legal reach in Croatia who can help someone retrieve an owed $24k invoice?

Still not a peep on the things Mamdani can do for trans youth after hospital closures. No activation of H+H to take patients. Trans patients are a rounding error for the $10B program. No movement on human rights complaints. No promise to restore care. Rarely have I been so disappointed.

After orchi my doc dropped my to 2mg daily because I didn't need as much, supposedly. I menopaused real hard for months until I got her to up my dose again. I switched to patches but those were fucking useless and stopped delivering estrogen within a day and a half so I was always getting fucked.

I saw mention on another social media site of someone disparaging a nominee while rooting for who they’re voting for in the Bram Stoker Awards. Some notes here— You never know who the judges are in any which category, who are committee members and everyone is paying extra attention right now.

For @bloody-disgusting.com I picked out 10 titles, from Tubi's recent animated acquisitions, that horror fans should watch.

I grew up next to an oil refinery, a major airport, a missile tracking station, several aerospace companies and had weekly air raid drills until high school and even knowing that I was at ground zero for a nuclear strike it didn’t feel nearly as stressful as things do today.

I’m so fucking sick of Evan’s shit. He does this song and dance all the time. “I need to break with the trans community” It’s really old and I’m tired of his shtick.

This has been disgraceful at best and rancid at worst this whole way through. We know what happens when a cis person with a platform points the finger at a trans person. Every time. He is either deeply incompetent or deliberately cruel, and neither make him worth listening to.

Show of hands: who would be interested in a not-social media based directory website of artists who pledge to never use AI in their process? Is this something you would share around to everyone you know? Something you'd very much like to be listed on?

One of Twitter's most valuable contributions before its collapse was helping regular people realize that no, it's actually not "more complicated than that." And the people telling you it's "more complicated than that" are obviously lying, dumb as hell, or both.

Okay, okay. I still haven't cleaned the mirror yet. That's on me.

Wire recorders - peak product design!

It must be nice to be a sociopath, because all the new products are for you. The smart glasses will give you that woman’s address, the betting apps will finally let you make bank on war crimes.

It really is wild how Westerners unironically keep repeating these things with 0 shame. Not only do they refuse to hold people/entities responsible (aside from selective 'agreeable' sin-eaters for their personal comfort), they get upset with you if you do. The narcissism is simply beyond the pale.

One of my favourite sides of politics/media.

*sigh*

"I don't care about the worldwide witch-hunt of trans people" is less words to type btw

It’s funny if you call PayPal or visa lines and bring this up asking why they claim “adult illustrations” is against their regulations but betting on the death of kids is totally fine. They don’t have an answer. In fact yall should call them at least once a day with this :)

Time for a new pinned post! I'm KB Spangler, an indie author who creates comics with my partner-in-crime, @alepresser.com Our current #comics are comedy science fiction & fantasy (FAMILY DEMONS) and fantasy (SIDE QUESTED), because reality is being a bummer and we need more joy.

Hey everybody, drink water and take your meds, and get outside today if you're able. As always, keep doing the work of decolonizing! Rest when you need to. 💚

If you were OK with “Substack, the Nazi Bar,” maybe “Substack, a front for the gambling on life and death casino” might convince you.

This article and headline are the most insane things I've ever read, and the closer, the thesis of this whole thing, is truly something else. Rich people aren't okay, and maybe they should be less okay.

Good Morning, World.

It’s viciously grim how we had mostly put the fear of a nuclear war behind us. Sure, we had made new horrors but that particular one was dying—no one could be *that* short-sighted! You’d come up to the line but never cross it. Now we’ve got *that* fucking guy.

In my lived experience, this has proven to be true.

Okay fine fine it can stay up geez

And I'm currently serializing the sequel to Saltbrook over on my Patreon! patreon.com/tormentedart...

schools are never valid military targets, on or off base if someone bombed a DoD school in Okinawa and killed a bunch of American 4th graders, that would be a war crime. The murder of Iranian schoolchildren is a war crime.

HIRE HERMITS! BRAG ABOUT HOW WEIRD YOUR HERMIT IS COMPARED TO THE OTHER RICH GUY'S HERMIT!!! *slaps top of hermit* LOOK AT ALL THE OLD SKULLS YOU CAN HANG FROM THIS ONE GUY!!!

Good Morning, World.

Speaking of, help a girl with rent that's due tomorrow? Still at 0/1500 essentially. Donations: paypal.me/tormentedart... Or my shop if you want stuff in return: tormentedartifacts.com

At what point does all of it vanish? When is there enough noise that reality fully drowns? How much more of a hallucinogenic twist on the world do you need so you can still wash it down?
