"I'm not in denial... I'm in open rebellion." Same, Ethan Hawke. Same.

This is quite literally HER land. 🤬

I love this gorgeous book!

The neoliberal politicians talking about “the economy of the future” are literally just dusting off shitty ideas from 20 years ago, it’s so tacky and embarrassing for them www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

This is extremely concerning and unnecessary. Why build expensive and damaging infrastructure for a dying industry when we could chart a course to actual energy independence with renewables?

All of which illustrates how infuriating it is when dipshits say that AI can 'help me to brainstorm ideas'. It can't do that. It can plaster a deepfake smile onto the corpse of zombie capitalism as it shambles towards the precipice of climate catastrophe, but it can't create meaningful literature.

I feel you, ancient Mongolian ceramic hedgehog. I feel you.

I'm excited to share an interview with @deirdrelaide.bsky.social in my latest newsletter with more about her and Carlos Vélez Aguilera's book SHIPWRECK. Read more and subscribe here: kamillascorner.beehiiv.com/p/celebratin...

I can't wait to get this book! @natashazimmers.bsky.social

Not good at all.

Mark Carney is about to announce more of his “elbows up” major projects. But under the surface, one that’s being sold as an Indigenous-led LNG project is actually — spoiler — American as hell. That’s not even the worst part! @emilylowan.bsky.social joined me to discuss:

It's upsetting that the destruction of BC's remaining old growth forests--less than 3% of their original range--is also driven by multinational forces: www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Okay friends in the Oakland, San Francisco area, Ellie is ready to make your life better!!! Please give her a chance.

It's *so* exciting to see somebody looking at machine learning model creation holistically and seeking to rebuild it from the ground up. "Technological development" does *not* need to look the way it does. Other things are possible!! For more info on the project: iem.ucsd.edu/_files/GEMST...

oh hey also i forgot to share this last week! i got to design another puzzle for Pacific Puzzle Co (pacificpuzzleco.com) earlier this year, and no offense but i think it turned out very nice! #art

Mushroom bonanza! I've been scouting this spot since I found gorgeous Amanita there last year. Sure enough, she's back and better than ever.

My fall newsletter is up! The topics will SHOCK YOU! kamillascorner.beehiiv.com/p/turning-in... (The seasons. Weather. Gardening. Writing.)

The AI attitude here is perfect.

not if it continues to advance and improve for another 1000 years could AI generate an idea I hate more than "kevin o'leary building the world's biggest data centre in a drought-prone region without consent from local Nations" thenarwhal.ca/ai-data-cent...

Operation No Sleep is under way. Objective? Eat tasty baklava, build a toothpaste tower, and push all the buttons…yes, ALL of them. A perfect bedtime plan… but when a precocious kid’s confederates struggle, all bets are off… #DVpit #PB #bedtime #humor

Amanita Muscaria, spokes-fungus, must rally her fellow fungi in defense of their home when the local town encroaches on their forest, even if it means escalating to full-out war—of the epistolary variety. #DVpit #PB #humor

Sharing the following request for a friend's brother that I was glad to support. Wishing for better medical care for all of us! www.gofundme.com/f/help-danie...

My mother always told me that if I was feeling bad about myself, I should go help somebody. I’ll have to tell her about these findings.

We built a calculator that doesn't work, but don't worry, it's also a plagiarism machine that will tell you to kill yourself. It runs on the world's oceans and costs 10 trillion dollars.

Something very very weird happened during the Hugos award ceremony... It's been on my mind for days, and so I wrote this blog: "When People Giggle at Your Name, or the 2025 Hugo Awards Incident" grigorylukin.com/2025/08/21/w... #Worldcon

Send this to my students when they ask about how to read and take notes because my point is usually there isn't one way to do it and you should find the way that works best for you

We have always made delightful little guys.

The other day I drew a subway-style map for The Hobbit, and it was very well received. Some of you asked if I could do one for LoTR, so I have! Forgive the eel watermark; I'm working on making these something you can buy, if you like.

After her release from detention, Rümeysa Öztürk is continuing to use her constitutionally protected speech to advocate for values she holds dear: human dignity and justice for all. Rümeysa’s clear ask to all of us is to remember the people who remain in detention, even though she is now free.

I've had this headline rattling around in my brain since January and I finally wrote it. Been hearing too many people in the startup world buying into the neoractionary nonsense that maybe a little light fascism is good for silicon valley. It's not. It's very, very bad.

I just left the Everglades Immigrant Interment Camp. No, I’m not using their ridiculous name. It was a very tough to witness humans in those cages. Every Floridian should be ashamed that our taxpayer money is being used for this.
