The declyne of readinge ys caused by manye thinges. One major cause ys a systematic & decades-long devaluinge of literature at all levels of educacioun. We kan not put instrumentalitye above meaninge and still thrive. Fundinge the humanityes ys key to a just societye of well-informed citizens.

man when it rains, it REALLY pours!

I am so excited to see Karen Bass leave office

I'm back to typing away on my blog (and this time actually hitting publish). I had a lovely time at a chef pop-up known as "Tongdak Party / Chicken Dinner". It's so interesting how food can break the monotony and reignite the zest for life that can fade when faced with the monotony of life.

A little over a year ago I got permission to write for some old friends 💙 Had a lot of fun dipping into YA on this one! magic.wizards.com/en/news/magi...

Got to play with the new Strixhaven commander decks online and honestly some of the most fun I've had playing magic in a really long time!

I guess boycotting Harry Potter feels pretty trivial to me, because I'm an adult. if someone told me I shouldn't eat Gerber's baby food, I'd be like, that is no problem. I'm way ahead of you

So you're telling me that now, as game devs, we have to coddle players who refuse to read? Fuck that shit. Wall of text. Refuse to read it? Get fucked, the game is not for you. Read or die.

Big purchase requires big Internet. This is simple math

this goes for so much of the right wing ecosystem. the same guys who scream “DEI hire” would sink to the ocean if they weren’t kept afloat by their far right sugar daddies

This really is an encapsulation of what being an American is: experiencing something needlessly cruel and profoundly stupid while propaganda you can’t turn off blares about how free and lucky you are

the fact that life can change so radically and so quickly is so crazy. I'm not sure I'm ready for all this but at the same time, I'm excited!

No more excuses for funding social programs.

we are going to Chicago tomorrow morning for the first time and I am absolutely mind blown that this trip is upon us

Wanted to draw Pombon yawning cutely like my Pomsky does before bed,,, #PokemonDay | #PokemonWindsWaves | #Pokemon30 | #pokemonfanart

I'm sorry if you thought it was over. I have plans to at least bring the whole Astral Express to this crossover #honkaistarrail #kingdomhearts

that's my mayor! (I'm in LA now)

I have been avoiding Bluesky like the plague lately. There is just so much going wrong across so many fronts. It's difficult to pick myself up and continue forward if I'm inundated with everything all the time.

The coolest Congresswoman there’s ever been.

"I didn’t realize, in the hours before his name was released to the public, that the man millions of people had seen lying facedown on the pavement from multiple angles of eyewitness video was my childhood best friend." Read more from @kristenradtke.bsky.social: www.theverge.com/policy/86856...

If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.

ICE just gunned down ANOTHER person, beating a man half to death before shooting him at point blank range. What the fuck are we doing? ARREST ICE NOW. PROSECUTE ICE NOW. I will not rest until every single one of these murderers is held accountable to the communities they terrorize.

On top of everything else, fascism is just so pathetically *annoying*. The world has told these little dickheads again and again that their shitty evil ethnostatic afraid-of-everyone ideas are incompatible with the human experience, and thus suck ass. Everyone hates you! Take a hint! Loser ideology!

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

guys I swear I'm a healer (healing parse)

From a good friend in Minneapolis: "Target is allowing ICE to stage in their parking lots, use their restrooms, and abduct people from inside their stores - so if you weren’t boycotting already, now is the time." They were staging in Chicago as well.

“Fuck ICE!” chants & a brass band performing “Which side are you on?” as hundreds march in Manhattan, NYC against ICE and in solidarity with Minneapolis.

Going to Chicago in a few months! Anyone have any recs on things I *need* to do in Chicago at least once?

recovering from the plague and making this as my comeback

I woke up from a drug and fever induced 6-hour nap just to make this. I will now be going BACK to sleep.

another sprite has hit the tower!!!

Did my first attempt at making some character sprites and uhhh this is FUN (but also very very hard) we are improving thooooo

today i gave making pixel art a try and came up with a few pieces that I was really happy with (especially as a first attempt) Will definitely be doing this more often!

Just think how much better off everyone would be if all the money we spent on wars, tax breaks for the wealthy and corporate welfare was instead spent on improving the lives of the American people Yet our politicians would rather do anything but make your life better

one of my bosses at my day job has started really pushing AI for our operations. i am worried...

EVERYONE GET MORE PASSIONATE AND SELF INDULGENT ABOUT CREATIVITY AND BEING HUMAN NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

wow... the news that Larian is using Gen AI sucks....
