I was told not to teach a class on the intellectual histories of Zionism and Anti-Zionism next year - not because they doubted I could teach it fairly, but because it would attract too many politicians scrutinizing the syllabus. A society where that is a valid fear is no longer fully democratic.

Maybe maturing is using "come" as a verb and "cum" as a noun...

Not long ago -- in my lifetime -- all trans people faced unspeakable violence, including state-sponsored violence, for simply existing And self-appointed gatekeepers made it as tough as possible for a person to transition. Anyone who wants to bring back the gatekeeping also wants the violence back

You look nice under me

Currently at: — only buy tech too old to have AI built in — painstakingly disable AI every time they add it to something that used to work perfectly well — if it can't be switched off, abandon the platform or tool — if there are no good alternatives, avoid the AI parts — patiently wait for the crash

it’s almost like “age verification” is a MASSIVE FUCK OFF SECURITY ISSUE

Microsoft shoved their AI Copilot into everything in Windows 11. Which lead to an increase in Windows 10 use. So they announced they'd stop support for Windows 10, but its usage was still strong. So they started to put Copilot into Windows 10. Windows 7 use is surging 5x now. AI is product poison.

media should declare their own conflicts of interest when reporting on AI openai.com/index/openai...

sometimes i forget i used to write 5-15 essays per term when i was in uni a decade ago. i ought do it more often. im just shit at coming up with topics most of the time.

Oscar on set

This is literally a trad publisher’s JOB, one of the reasons authors license their works to publishers in the first place. But tradpubs have been offloading marketing costs onto authors in order to pad profits & C-suite salaries.

CEOs as a class will be lecturing people on work ethic and integrity in their work and they can’t even read an entire fucking book

the government should not be able to smash into your home and drag you into the street for no reason. it's kind of a core civil right, perhaps THE core civil right.

"Why don't you turn on notifications?" from every goddamn app You are a tool I open as needed. I decide when you are needed. I don't want my screwdrivers getting chatty with me either

got slapped in the face with an idea for another halloween release this year :)

It's coming... 🎃

They have no gods. They work magic, and think they are gods themselves. But they are not. And when they die, they become dust and bone, and their ghosts whine on the wind a little while till the wind blows them away. They do not have immortal souls.

Hi Folks! I'm Key! I'm a trans man erotic artist in the US. I draw a lot of queer art. Sometimes it's horny. Sometimes it's just pretty. Sometimes I do body horror. I aspire to depict bodies of all walks of life. I also have commissions open: forms.gle/o3DsSasWnE7s...

In food history, we notice how super-refined foods--gelatin, vienna sausage, white bread--lose class and become horrifying once they become industrialized. Suddenly, fingermarks in bread dough demonstrate skill, not clumsiness. Post-chatGPT, I'm feeling this about writing. Smoothness feels gross.

would be cool if i wasnt in too much pain to sleep but hey whatever

i want to draw or write but i made the mistake of sitting in a chair for two hours instead of cross legged on the floor like i usually do and now my whole body hurts.

Times are tough for artists, writers, and other creative folk. If you have the means, consider signing up for someone's Patreon, or commission some art, or buy a book. Write a skeet about a creative you enjoy. Spread the word about their work.
