dedicate ten years to the hobbies you want to cultivate and enjoy the day by day of working on them in short incremental goals and then putting then aside each night to read a book or watch something nice or play something fun with friends

how it started / how it ended

Wacom recently asked me to talk about why I make queer comics, and given there are multiple bills right now floating around in congress that are effectively "we will kill your livelihood if we get a sniff of queer" I had some pretty strong, simply feelings to relay.

Lynda Barry did not squeeze your heart and simultaneously explain the point of all art with the barest of line drawings so you could tell me that AI is "inevitable."

“And even if the two of us should be separated, our hearts will be tied for eternity” #rgu #aou 🌹✨

The matcha whisking frog is neither by Ito Jakuchu nor Matsumoto Hoji (and idk correct attribution of the bottom right one) and I literally went insane investigating it once (crediting artists matters!) medium.com/@yavien/the-...

listening to this and one thing not mentioned wrt "repressed memories": this is a really dangerous idea specifically for people with OCD (THE "what if" disorder, that has a "false memory ocd" form)

manhood is just about rent extraction and enforcing stratified hierarchies of birth

I'm in community with enough trans lesbians (and ace girls if we talk about lack of "attraction to men") that I definitely would have noticed any class stability/upward mobility among them if you know. it was EVER a real privilege among this demographic lmao

listening to this. really good... she was basically a pioneer of the 21st century online trans woman... lesbian occultist comic book empress.... we stand on the shoulders of giants my friends

If you look at pay, male professional footballers are paid more for being male than they are for being good at football.

If they would even slightly acknowledge the constant sexism and talk about it as the men's world cup, if they would acknowledge they only give a shit when men are playing, it would be slightly less annoying.

It's weird, on the one hand, football is the beautiful game, beloved by lesbians and the scene of sweaty locker room fantasies and on the other hand football is the language through which men construct sexual hierarchy and it's really hard to reconcile these.

With Robert cialdini namedropped I think it's about time for @ifbookspod.bsky.social episode on Influence, the self help book I reread many times as a teen and as an adult I learned full context of Jonestown and Kitty Genovese case that was nothing like fitting those narratives to those theses lmao

open.spotify.com/album/1iBaQI... Sometimes I remember how much of an influence on me as a child was a Polish album with a very overlapping selection of ye olde German cabaret songs translated to PL. And also a Polish translation of I am A Vamp sung by a man killing it with an exquisite falsetto

Witch Hat Atelier says "Fuck parental rights!"

By far the biggest problem with delegating judgement to machines is the people who own the machines can tune them towards outcomes they prefer but those who don't own anything can't. It's not the technology. It's a transfer of decision making power from rational accountable systems to capital.

Also demonstrates once again that one of the few things keeping the internet at large from fully becoming an AI-generated hellscape are Reddit's unpaid moderators / Wikipedia's volunteer editors working tirelessly to fight against AI slop and highly motivated, well-funded manipulation campaigns

It's June

I just broke out crying in my apartment while updating my tracker because I stopped to read this piece by @caseyparks.bsky.social on drag king Elsie Saldaña. This was so beautifully and sensitively told, if you missed it last week read it now. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2026/...

my RCBG headcanon is that the presence of Austria-Hungary in the 2020s can be simply explained by emperor Franz Joseph obtaining cyborg tech immortality and ruling over the dual monarchy eternal

Love it. Love that the earring doesnt make sense cause its not attached to the ear even love it so here for vermeer nijntje

Could there be a better example of "the trans debate" than 98% of women supporting trans people and then one single lone person voting against them and getting their way regardless. It's all such a fucking sham

I made a frutiger aero soft soap themed xenomorph...

the most skilled people i've ever met who work with math & technology are women (often also queer, trans, and/or neurodivergent) who are also perpetually struggling to find or keep work in the field due to underemplyoment/unemployment, academic exclusions, & the burden of extra feminized labours

Arguably the best part of going to the doctor’s office today was the tech in hot pink scrubs and matching hot pink crocs who said “love the earrings! What a fun shape!” The earrings:

I wrote something about how to dress for your body type. I disagree with guides that approach this from a corrective POV (e.g. clothes that make fat people look slim, short people look tall). Instead, I think it's about learning how to express yourself in a language www.mrporter.com/en-us/journa...
