It is important for us to remember that at all times all over the world & perpetrated, funded or aided by governments that market themselves as magnanimous, there are Black people being fed to the machine. This is not something that is considered anything other than normal.

Boyfriend? No, no that’s not my boyfriend. I’m doing sunset boulevard to this guy. Yeah it’s a whole thing.

i know the community has really embraced the ikea shark but can i make the case for tiktaalik as a trans icon? literally a creature in transition, smashing binaries and reinventing themself. also a cute lil guy with a great smile

I have never heard an audiobook narrator having more fun than the narrator for The Works of Vermin.

what personal taste, what life events that let you understand particular things, appreciate certain techniques? People who don't read SFF often just don't see the things we see in it because they dont' have the same reading background. That's ok! LIke what you like, be curious

Yesssss, new Don’t Hug Me I’m Scared dayyyyy.

i think to bluntly ask the quesiton 'WHY would anyone want to read this? why would i want to MAKE this? WHAT IS THE GIFT?' can be arresting. but it only triggers imposter syndrome if you conclude 'i must have no gift then'. WE ALL HAVE A GIFT TO GIVE. dont stop at 'oh i have no gift,' GO FIND IT

So Badgers has been added to the BFI archives. Honestly this feels like quiite an honor. www.youtube.com/watch?v=pNqb...

this is... wild actually? it's just been a birthright trip fund for east coast teens this entire time?

gwen's reporting is great as always and also, as you may know, i am bound by contract to emphasize how low the bar is for being "safe." every location mentioned as a destination for fleeing trans people is still shutting down clinics (no room for nyc but you already know)

Blog post this week is a bunch of cool publishers I encountered at the LA Art Book Fair: bzedan.com/blog/books-b...

Sometimes writing is getting your word count in, sometimes writing is going back through earlier scenes in a panic to make sure it’s clear who takes their shoes off when they enter a home, and who does not.

hey so the manager sent the design document for our mascot and it’s a hotsauce-stained napkin with “Yonic Bosch Critter” scribbled across it, are we moving forward?

This has been said to death but I'll just say it again: if you're in the creative arts space stop calling your art "content". Call it "work"! Calling your art "work" shows it's the result of time and skill. "Content" makes something sound like it has no purpose other than to take up space.

REI workers did not make this decision lightly, but the company has left us with no choice. We’re boycotting May 15-25 and taking action to hold them accountable, supported by more than 70,000 REI members.

Not “refusal of the call” so much as “*tired sigh* and ‘didn’t I already take care of this’” of the call.

Gina Gershon from 1995 to 2005 An answer that will surprise literally nobody that knows me

There’s been a lot of discourse this week of what is and isn’t a game. It has me questioning what the heck we’re even making. There’s a bit where you gotta help carry a tin of beans to the muffled voices in the walls. What are we even doing #indiegame #gamedev

They are SO CLOSE to meeting half of their goal. Can we help get them there? I know some of my beloved friends have managed to donate and that's so beautiful. If you haven't, can you give them a little something to keep them housed and fed and safe? To help them not just survive but thrive?

When your cat looks in another direction for a minute and you're puzzled about what has their attention, that's when it's addressing the audience. If you read Garfield you'd understand that's the beat where it's thinking about something really funny, at your expense, making you look like an idiot

Man, I’m so tired of going to events that are so packed with tables you gotta wiggle sideways and Kitty Pryde your way through, hoping the stream of people will wash you up on the shore of a table with interesting shit to look at.
