I'm saying this with 100% seriousness: it is better to be single than it is to be with someone who is going to be weird about your kinks. You CANNOT have a meaningful relationship with someone to whom you can't expose your vulnerabilities. That road only leads to tears.

all of the writing around Belle is impossibly potent. expressive, and with a deep faith (pun intended) to the character and her world - and ours. between that and everything else going on, there's just... nothing else like Steel Jaws. you must read it

my politics are whatever this is

40 years ago we’d have congressional hearings falsely accusing metal bands of putting backwards messages in their songs that told kids to kill themselves & now we have a planet-killing chatbot that’s all like “bet you won’t commit suicide chickenshit bitch” & the government is like here’s $5 billion

Just re-reposting this so that people can see it.

Hearing "why aren't you working for a big studio? Why aren't you directing at your age? You're so good, what do you mean you have trouble finding a job?" gets so tiresome. Thank you for saying I'm a good artist but I don't think that really is the thing that actually gets you jobs anymore 🤷

I must’ve been a postdoc at MIT or a new-ish engineering professor when I first heard the story of how Ben Barre overheard colleagues talking about how his research was so much better than his ‘sister’ Barbara’s.

God, a thousand times this. That's the thing with dopamine being tied to task initiation - there's a set of gears that won't - CAN'T - engage in my brain, but none of my problems are with analysis. I can be fully aware of all the necessary steps, and stressing about starting, and just... not.

Sorry for Yankposting a bunch. Shit's been dark for a full 365 days as I worry for my American pals and a pro-trans candidate won a big municipal election over a sexual criminal and totem of the old order and it's a breath of fresh air in a sealed room. I promise to get back 2 normal!

New awareness campaign

#art #drone | Nothing terribly complicated this week; just doing some experimenting with various types of neural augment datajacks that one might have.

i think if you ride public transit enough you learn that most weird behavior is not dangerous, and conversely i think driving a car teaches you that everyone is trying to kill you at all times

The square cube law is not in the reader's favor here, sadly. Mars has a huge battle mech scene. They can get away with heavier bot designs at 0.38 g, and have thousands of kilometers of uninhabited desert on which to stage battles far away from structures that could get obliterated by shrapnel.

A failing society is one that demands people starve in order to uphold arbitrary and socially constructed ideas of normalcy, value, and worth. We need to reject the idea that anyone at all must work to "earn" the right to eat and live.

I really want cis folks to understand the situation - trans women face widespread employment discrimination and live in devastating poverty. Meanwhile, the woman who came in fifth place in a swimming competition, ONCE, makes a million+ a year to advocate for destroying our rights.

[trying to explain how bad the ai bubble is] last year my cousins, siblings, and i were included on an email from my retired investment banker uncle warning the family about it! do you have any idea how bad things have to be for a wealthy boomer to temporarily treat millennials like adults?!

friend shared this, immediately updated my settings

I’ve never donated to Wikipedia before but I set up a small monthly donation as a fuck you to the world’s richest psychopath.

This is going viral again...thought I'd post it here for awareness! In unrelated news, I'm open for work!

I gave it blue gamer lights because I like them

Let’s go, Thursday.

So much of that bullshit ends up like "I don't consent to your identity, I don't consent to your presentation, you are instead what I say you are" And asserting that some are "doing gender wrong" And by "doing it wrong", causing harm. It's fucking bonkers.

Happy Anita Bryant Humiliation Day

"sexy nun outfit" you're a fool. your mind is trapped in a cage. the modesty and seemliness of an ordinary nun's habit is far more erotic than some basal skimpy costume could ever be

Nobody fucking likes it when I talk about this shit but it is honestly maddening when people I would like to love & respect all get together to loudly declare The Brain Damage Disease Presently Destroying Multiple Generations Does Not Concern Us

No exceptions. If you use Gen A I in any capacity whatsoever, you suck. Yes, the way you're using it too. You're not special. "She probably doesn't mean me" I do.

hi, cis folks in california! this headline leaves out that newsom has another 5 days to sign these bills into law. if you’d like to tell him he should do that to protect trans californians, you should to reach out. he also has a phone: (916) 445-2841 want to know what to say? next post! 🧵

Bari Weiss's career is nearly everything wrong with American journalism. She is its suppurating soul made manifest. If a million people hate her guts, I am one of them; if she has but ten sworn enemies, I am of them; if there is nobody left to relentlesly speak ill of her, than I am dead

Have this!! #mediliart Fox headshot... something something, popular video game, duration tome, ~shenanigans~ (though a book with seemingly nothing written on it ain't gonna help 'em get back out/to normal... somehow still manages to make it last *longer* on level up anyway. Magic!)

This whole section really.
