"What are they supposed to do, not comply with the CC companies and get the whole thing shut down for everybody?" YES! I am once again demending that SFW creators stop treating erotic artists like acceptable losses, and maybe having some skin in the game will convince them to join the fight.

Black people are giving it these Confederates raw and uncut. This is how it’s gonna be now. You wonder what we’re thinking? It’s this. I believe this is activist Gary Chambers again in Louisiana.

To whom it may concern

Telling people online not to forget those who tragically died by fascist goons of this government, then throws up an a.i. slop image of them as angels holding signs over their own Graves is so fucking ghoulish I don't even have words for it. like..you're pissing on them while saying be respectful

The littlest guy. To my knowledge it's a Cole's Grey Treefrog

Potato sprootlets are growing in

Yo I found food on the ground

Finally found the motivation to write again after what felt like forever (it was less than twenty days) and it turns out I just have to make the conscious decision to do it and it'll be done. Damn, whadaya know

All I wanna do is learn more things so I can be more productive in my own life and for other people, and then live a humble life writing stories and helping others. But I can barely figure how to pay my god damned bills

I found $20 on the ground. It's being allocated for food not taxes. Tax man can eat my ass while i eat these cheap dollar store hotdogs

I just don't know how to do these taxes. I don't have the information they want. I don't even have the money to pay anything I would owe. I really have been trying but I just can't understand what I've researched and the free services are not as clear as they think they are

I will never forgive my hometown's school district for withholding matters of finance from my tax-funded education. This is so convoluted and confusing for me every year and I feel like an idiot and it's definitely all their fault. Shoulda been core curriculum

What's the most cost-effective way for me to definitely win the lottery

It's Trans Day of Visibility today. If you're trans and are raising money for something (I don't care what it is), reply to this thread and I will boost you. If you are a cis person, take a look and find someone to support if you can. Everyone give this a share after.

Hello my dears. Just a friendly reminder that if you do decide to watch the new Harry Potter series to please not watch it through HBO max or any channels that pays Rowling. Since she is now using her money to fund anti trans actions, supporting her work does mean supporting transphobic actions.

last time I posted something like this, I had someone say "you're misinformed" and "you're doing this because it's trendy" as if it's a trend to do the bare minimum for people actively being harmed. Get out of here with that bullshit. There is no grey area. What she's done and is doing is vile.

Warning about Adobe: DO NOT trust them if they offer to let you edit for free. I was working on proofs & when I went to save, they held my file hostage. Forced me to enter credit card information & do a trial. THEN Adobe crashed & I lost all my work anyway. Incandescent with rage right now. 😡

You see this shit? You see what I accidentally did to myself?

I got my mitts on some hubba bubba and I decided to blow some bubbles like when I was a kid. The difference is I didn't have a beard and mustache back then. Took a while to get the gum out of my face hair Then, what was left of the gum ripped one of my metal fillings out of my tooth

I had a dream I helped uncover a plot to cut out peoples tongues and use them as muscles to restrengthen rich old people's failing legs. It was weird imagery. There was also a subsequent Onion article in the dream that claimed Chuck Schumer had a successful ass-to-ankles surgery

Started using the Writer Journal app to organize my stories and I'm pretty happy woth it so far. As I understand it, there is a one-time purchase of $12 for the bells and whistles (which I've not purchased yet) but the free base app has been great thus far. No more docs usage for me

There's still time to sign up as an ARC reader for THE DEVOURING, my Lovecraftian horror feat. John Wick-style action and married villain protagonists. Not convinced? These alpha & beta reader comments might change your mind. Sign up here: forms.gle/SgMBu5wnhn1W... #WritingCommunity #Booksky 💙📚

Purging as much data from my google account as possible. Feels refreshing. Like opening the windows in a dusty house and firing up the leaf blower

This book was recommended to me by a friend and I'm glad she did. I strongly recommend it to you

For ppl who aren't aware: Old temperate forests are insanely rare nowadays and extremely important ecosystems lost forever once cut. They're not just "old trees" but intricate networks of trees, fungi and all kinds of living creatures. You CANNOT replant this!! Once it's gone it's lost FOREVER!!!

Wrote 11,015 words in February, pushing my two stories an eency bit forward. Good progress; with everything to juggle these says, I'm glad to get more than 10k down in a month

Idk what it's like on the buyer's end, but listing inventory on BrickOwl is a dream. It's such a smooth process. I can't understand why the Lego Group can't manage to get Bricklink up to par, unless they're deliberately undermining the resale market

Got 1300 words in today for my "write as I go" story that I fiddle with on the side. Here's a snippet

hi guys I know I haven't been very active lately, and I don't talk about where I'm from often, but the government made some really scary announcements today so I thought I'd share to let everyone know what's happening. here are some posts from twt for context

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

Just finished Bill Bolton and Hidden Danger by Noel Sainsbiry Jr. Realized fairly early on that this was a later entry in a series but managed to figure out the references. It was a fun light adventure. Although ol' Bill would get a tongue lashing today for some of the stuff he said back then

Have an ambiguous poem "Oniveon's Reach" by Draven Black

Making lists helps me regather my frantic brain

Sometimes I have a "get some work done and advance my life" brain and sometimes I have a "forget how to make a sandwhich and also very common words" brain Today I had the second one. Not feeling productive. But I wrote some words for my book so that at least happened

My gut is telling me that this is a "read/write/eat/nap" day

I respect a longing to discover new consciousness, and I understand how AI can present a theoretical path to that discovery, but AI is truly just a complex ventriloquist dummy. It may look and sound like a person, but that's just an illusion. If you want to discover new consciousness, you could:

I was NOT successful in fixing my truck today but at least I got a nice 2hour walk to the hardware store and back (I bough the wrong thing)

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

People on Reddit are getting Amazon to refund their Ring products because of their partnership with Flock and that creepy Super Bowl ad www.reddit.com/r/FlockSurve...

Just finished Hello Sunshine by @keezyyoung.bsky.social and it is wonderful. Keezy balanced the supernatural with reality perfectly, and her placement of panels, speech, and little background details made it immersive, plus her art is fantastic. Character limits demand brevity. Buy a copy ASAP

Wrote 1,297 words today, split almost evenly between two stories I hope to publish later this year. Feels good to make a big batch of progress after a few hard days

I've been thinking about these for weeks. I need to fix my truck so I can leave my home to buy these

My transfer case module shit itslef again and I got that model that has the yoke right in front of the module so I gotta remove the forward drive shaft then the yoke (drains the fluid out of the transfer case) then pull module then force back into 2wd then yoke back on then refill the trans tired

The public made noise for Liam Ramos and it got him released from Dilley. Now we must make noise for 7 year old Diana Crespo. Her parents were taking her for emergency medical care when ICE grabbed them, and she’s rotting in the camp sick and exposed to measles. Get them out!

Just finished The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls. A really good book about her childhood and young adulthood, and all the trouble and adventure therein. I recommend it

Just read Sunflowers by @keezyyoung.bsky.social and really appreciated it. I guess I tend to look away from my bipolar (because that's what grumpy conservative-raised white men do I guess) but this reminded me to look the bad parts in the eye and appreciate the good parts. Pick up a copy if you can
