I have listened to the john darnielle audio books that were in the library and which you were probably planning to read between other books Forgive me I finally got into the mountain goats so locking eyes, holding hands and so twin high maintenance machines

if you are a professional photographer and/or videographer local to Bay City, MI with some weekday availability the second week of June, @ me please

the severe misread of youth by ai prophets is that at 22 you’re starving for agency. all your life you’ve waited to call your own shots. the idea that what you get instead is “tell the machine to draw a horse” is inherently offensive

you know what the real data center is. the human mind. thank you,

Maybe the real fever you can't sweat out was the friends we made along the way.

just learned that Banana Ball strictly prohibits bunting and am now firmly convinced it is the superior form of baseball

Happy Mother’s Day to all the step-moms out there. You’re braver than the Marines.

I didnt get a picture (silly me) but just dropping in to say that when i walked in to chaperone queer prom last night, two (2) of the moms at the check-in table went "whoa Jules, looking good!" So yeah. Happy mothers day

APB on my pride and joy, i've chased it under snowy sooty cars laying down next to traffic, i have deep cleaned it 3 times, it either fell while i was juggling my belongings on the Manhattan bound DeKalb L platform or while on the crowded train. pls share in case i can get a lead on another one 😭

Still getting wrecked by this fictional interaction

The world is becoming harsher for transgender people right now. Darkness stretches before and behind them, and the pain is growing. Their wish remains simple — to love who they love and live true to themselves🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 This is why we must join hands and change the world with compassion.

evangelicals have finally created. the golden calf. from the classic bible story “don’t create a golden calf”

@worldsbeyondnumber.bsky.social gets number five, right? (I know what a raspberry award is)

Every time UBI comes up, someone asks who will flip the burgers. Every time, the answer is the same.

I’m playing Pokopia + researching communities built around it. If Mark Zuckerberg’s metaverse had been 1/2 as good as Pokopia he’d be accumulating power outside of capital + surveillance. He + his oligarch buddies are good at world destroying, but they are astonishingly bad at world-building. 🙏

Has anyone had any good experiences with getting custom playing cards printed? I’d love any manufacturer recommendations that can handle SMALL orders of cards sized 2.5x3.5 in (standard trading card size); I’d be willing to order the equivalent of a standard 52 deck of cards

Ok chat, im chaperoning queer prom tomorrow. Suspenders yea or nay?

today is bullshit so I’m going to take the afternoon to go on a tacos and margarita date with my wife, please take care of yourselves and log off if it would help

If anyone's looking for me, I'll be here. Happy. Staring at a big bunch of water shaders, courtesy of all you lovely lovely techartists. THREAD OF LOVELY WATER SHADERS--->

I'm looking for work. 21 years of experience. • any game art, isometric, top-down, side-scroll • stylized or realistic • characters, icons, key art, animation • Can build a style from zero or match yours • Big projects don't scare me • ex Minecraft DM here or email [email protected]

I'm also obsessed

Did K therapy tonight while listening to the mountain goats, so naturally my internal dialogue was with imaginary john darnielle. Me: ...i just feel like such a /child/ John: so step out of childhood.

If you make every trans person afraid that the feds are about to bust down doors and put us in camps, that materially harms every trans person. That is why even threats of genocidal actions are considered international war crimes. So my advice is to not play into it. Prepare, but don't panic.

This is probably gonna gain traction soon, so I want to ground everyone before the fear that may come. The purpose of memos like this is probably best understood as to create fear. If they had the resources and ability to conduct mass crackdowns on trans groups, they would just do it.

1. According to a heartbreaking large new survey, trans youth who desire to obtain hormone therapy and cannot get it face double the suicide attempt risk. Only 10% of trans youth under 18 are on hormone therapy. www.erininthemorning.com/p/trans-yout...

I really want to paint a magic card How do I achieve this

happy 9th anniversary to the day we watched Zendaya fall madly in love with Tom Holland in real-time

Ah yes, the midway point of d20, where mu ears start ringing and i need to halve the volume.

it seemed to him that he himself was a word spoken by the sunlight.

I dont know if I've EVER read a more "going up north" sentence in my LIFE.

Nintendo, Universal, Illumination: I am begging you to let me voice Slippy in the eventual Star Fox movie or Peacock limited series. I was born for this.

i've been getting more folks telling me about this and it's not anything i agreed to. it's been stolen like AI steals. please vandalize it if and when you see it.

On this day in 1933, Nazis raided the Magnus Hirschfeld library in Berlin. The world’s greatest collection of LGBTQ books and scientific papers were looted and later burned, erasing decades of research into sexuality and gender identity. ‘Where they burn books, in the end they will burn humans too’.

She never saw why something could not be. Another reason he loved her.

It's giving "Why does God need a spaceship?"

What the non-lawyers on here need to understand is that DOJ, until about a year ago, was considered HIGHLY prestigious and competitive, elite lawyering work

Miiriya is an app where you can browse people struggling with Overdue bills/Rent/Evictions etc in the Black Community and give them aid. It’s gotten 270+ people so far out of terrible situations. It’s also an app where you can shop all Black businesses conveniently on 1 app/under one roof.

The app I created got 2 Black Women out of evictions yesterday and paid their overdue bills. Please help my app become bigger so it can be 10 saved a day.

This is for *your* kids, you understand. The tech elites send *their* kids to private, screen-free Montessori schools. They know exactly what they're doing.

I would never attempt to put words in the mouth of the deceased. It's fun to think about what Carrie would say if she saw this.

Hell yeah, zero-dark-thirty lore drop

I launched an indie webcomic hosting platform several months ago that offered a free and a $4/mo paid plan. This was purely to cover the cost of the infrastructure. But in seeing it grow, I'm no longer worried about the cost. So yeah Webcomic Studio is now free. webcomic.studio

Made an in-editor demo to show what it's doing. UVs scaled to 0.3 and offset programatically. Overall it took three lines of code: 1. match the camera's rotation basis. 2. set the position to a distance along the camera's local Z axis. 3. set the UV's X and Y offset based on the camera's rotation.
