In 2006 a high school English teacher asked students to write to a famous author & ask for advice. KURT VONNEGUT - born 103yrs ago today - was the only one to respond. His reply was a doozy.

if you get to make art today, add something fucking dumb that cracks you up that is the specific humanity in your work everything else, no matter how necessary (and it is!! it's vital!), everything else is redundant context, it's safety you have plenty of tortilla it is time for the meat of joy

i have a lot of trouble with self-promotion, but i lost my insurance and SNAP benefits a few months ago due to federal level hijinx, and am really struggling with the day to day right now. i could really use your help! i'm trying to get back up to $1000. www.patreon.com/vacuumflowers

A really great thread of unusual 2025 releases. It's sort of terrifying that despite talking to people and reading about games every day, and most of these games being the exact kind of thing I look for/share/discuss, I have heard of maybe four of the games in this thread. Game discovery, man.

I was a member of TGA Future Class 2022 and lemmee tell ya, my skin has been crawling since pretty much every interaction I had with them (few) & story I heard about other members' interactions with them (many) was bad. & by bad I mean, so many shades of being used as photo op tokens & nothing more

In creative fields, compliment your coworkers’ work when you like it. Many have never had a coworker compliment their work before. A compliment is a show of professional trust and if you never show it then you’re a real crap

A similar thing happened to me about 25 years ago, when I was a preteen. It was a nightmare. Now, thanks to AI, so many young girls all over the world will have to live that same nightmare.

i made the cover art collage from MET Museum's Open Access art, by the way! (the "bloody mess" in the background is actually a collage of chinese vases xD)

THANK YOU SO MUCH for the kind reception to 'Vignettes of Horror' 🦇 making horror is a life long dream of mine. it's scary (heh) to follow your heart somewhere totally different after pleasing so many with something completely opposite (action games, fall guys, etc.) thank you thank you thank you!

I still think the most accurate and consistent way to think about generative AI is that, in every instance, people exclusively use it for tasks that they don't have any respect for or give a shit about.

I think trans people are cool and I wish we lived in a society where they could relax and live their lives without the most uncool people on the planet constantly getting up in their business, just my two cents
