I am really really really worried about younger generations not really understanding what the bomb actually is.

If the Olympics and Super Bowl have you thinking about the inherently horrifying nature of sports, boy, have I got the book for you! SHREDDED: A SPORTS AND FITNESS BODY HORROR ANTHOLOGY www.cursedmorselspress.com/product/shre...

A half-billion-dollar ballroom is *disparately* needed, yes.

Was literally floating this idea to the @funfactorpod.com discord community yesterday.

Some say the world will end From what I've tasted hold I think I know destruction great suffice

My wonderful book and package of goodies from @traumbooks.bsky.social has arrived! I wanted to start reading Black Hole Science is Filled with Apologies IMMEDIATELY, but when it arrived yesterday I was "currently reading" NINE BOOKS. I finished one last night, so now I can start it, right?

Nos ha enviado hoy una nota de prensa la Conferencia Episcopal porque han sacado un videojuego sobre casarse

When a sitting representative refers to the Super Bowl halftime show as “pornography,” people should use that to reflect on how they and other representatives are simultaneously working to ban, censor, and restrict “pornography” and what that actually means

omg everybody go draw a horse this is what the internet was made for gradient.horse

NEW: An immigration court has terminated removal proceedings against Tufts doctoral student Rümeysa Öztürk, finding that DHS did not meet its burden of establishing that she was removable, her lawyers tell the Second Circuit. live-awp-vermont.pantheonsite.io/app/uploads/...

I suppose I also take this personally bc attacks on craftivism land poorly with me as a Native person. Beading together, making regalia, sewing in groups — this is at the heart of how the women on my reservation gather to do healing work, political ed, and mutual aid. This has long been true.

Cloth goblins! They're actually made of metal. I'm not that good at sewing so I make do with what skills I have 🤷 statuesqueminiatures.co.uk and statuesqueminiatures.etsy.com for 🇪🇺

Wrote about Bad Bunny and how after more than a century under U.S. rule, after attempts to erase our national identity, after the man-made crises and natural disasters that have befallen our people, in the face of every challenge, seguimos aquí. We’re still here. www.thecut.com/article/bad-...

ICYMI, a website told me that my brain can be duplicated for $6/month, and I'm still annoyed.

I've been writing a collection called Dog Years. They're stories about humans and dogs across tens of thousands of years. Why? Dunno. But I'm having fun, and dogs are cool (and many other things too). Nine stories so far. More coming. They live free on my website www.thesearedogyears.dog

I’m Analilia Mejia and I approve this message.

part of me wants to track the books i read this year, but part of me believes that’s none of my business

Anyway, the place where I am coming from whenever I write anything, anywhere is: we can live better than this, but that requires the will to change. The universe is too fucking fabulous for us to only know it through capitalism and white supremacy. That's what my posts and books are always about.

“If I can generate a book in a day, who wins?” Whoever wrote that book. You didn’t.

I hope everyone has a nice day and doesn't end up on the Discover feed

THE UNBRIDLED GREATNESS OF TRANS WILL ENDURE FOR A MILLION YEARS

genAI is shortcutting, in theory, but in practice it makes you bland nonsense because you aren't writing/painting/drawing/crafting music, a mediocre algorithm is, and it's all garbage, and you want us to treat it like art. No. Fuck no. Shoo.

We have now raised $250,000 for @translifeline.org. Every year this community steps up to prove how strong our love and support for our trans friends and family really is. 💙💜🤍 We are still going until Saturday morning! So be sure to donate--> give.translifeline.org/tcc #MagicTheGathering
