For @bloody-disgusting.com, I talked to @paultremblay.bsky.social about the anger that fueled DEAD BUT DREAMING OF ELECTRIC SHEEP, writing fiction in the age of AI, the influence of Philip K. Dick, and more.

hey pals guess who needs an MRI and forgot that those cost like $1200. i'll be put up some discounted printer's seconds of INFINITE REVOLUTION maybe tomorrow-ish. tell ur friends also still open for layout work moving into late july / august

i would love to do wrath month but unfortunately it is too hot and my local government made me do wrath during pride so i'm doing queer sloth month instead thank you for your understanding

I know this is not the biggest concern going these days, but it stresses me out that basically every artist/writer/critic is now expected to create their own tiny empire instead of getting paid by any existing entity to perform a job they've worked to get good at!!!!

Give us some love and a nice review on DriveThruRPG please, cos we had a bad rating on Mad as Hell by people who thought it was bad we were "Selling a book about how capitalism is bad". In other news, AAARRRGGGHHHHH www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/5...

does she have no shame lol

This is a very welcome amount of honesty coming from a publisher and I think it's valuable for us to be asking if this is really what we want from a platform or crowdfunding as a concept.

idk how you unfuck the economics of game dev, but big studios constantly going "we just can't afford all these developers who we pay like 60% the market rate for engineering roles w/ comparable experience at comparable non-game-dev companies" doesn't reflect well on studio execs' basic competence

most people don’t tell you that a career in writing is 90% spent convincing people who are not writers that you’re a good writer. 10% of your time is spent writing. And then, someday, mercifully, you die

It's not too late to call your reps to vote NO on KOSA, and if you like being able to sign on to the internet without entering your driver's license or passport number, it's crucial that you do! I left a message over the weekend and called again for good measure today. I hope you do the same!

Fix your hearts or die. You know how many of us joke that Pride month should be followed by Wrath? This year I feel a deep, burning fury towards all who use transgender lives as political propaganda. We are human beings. You cannot erase us. Happy Pride. Trans liberation at any cost. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Satire as a genre is dead

My own personal birthright to American citizenship came literally one Supreme Court vote away from being stripped away yesterday. That vote was in place because of Democratic Party weakness vs multiple Republican presidential nominees. “Just trust us” is no longer enough.

bring back free the nipple honestly

sorry my head is reeling from the artfight nudity guidelines. nipples don't count as nudity until they're placed in a humanoid way, this will protect 13 year olds somehow

I keep thinking of a part of this book about how conditions are created to force groups into behaviors that confirm stereotypes: scarcity -> “criminality,” etc. I can’t help but think about how putting up barriers to public life for trans people manufactures the “sneakiness” they believe we possess

was feeling intense impostor syndrome for a second for very silly reasons but witch hat atelier fixed me so nvm

So you know how the Obama Presidential Center just opened in Chicago on Juneteenth? How it not only has a library but a specific President’s Reading Room featuring books personally chosen by the Obamas? NEVER WHISTLE AT NIGHT is one of those books. @tvayyyy.bsky.social

Hey there everyone! Calling attention to this as a dear friend of mine is in need! If you can share and help my friend Lamia to help with home repairs after storm damage, that would be extremely helpful! Repost and share! 💕💕💕✨ Love you Lamia

it’s the freaking weeking baby!!

reminds me of Abide which is about restoring buildings with spirits in them - not prescribed that you have to get rid of the spirit, just appease them somehow to make the building habitable graftbound.itch.io/abide

To emphasize a point Snitty makes in her thread: Excluding trans kids from sports is about cutting them out of public life. The lies people pushed about "fairness" were a thin cover for anti-trans bigotry. For most athletes sports are about socialization. They're taking that away from trans kids.

hey when we say that liberals and democrats are worse than useless on trans rights this is the kind of shit we are talking about :) by the way :) what is the fucking point of conceding on title IX like this. what is the fucking point.

My games are double price on itch.io right now. You can buy them for twice as much as usual for two weeks. What a bargain! Every cent I make on the sale I will give directly to a random trans person's fundraiser, for relocation, for grocery money, whatever. itch.io/s/194595/tra...

“What we're seeing in the numbers of people experiencing homelessness isn't that we suddenly have an increase in people with mental health or substance use problems," @mkushel.bsky.social tells @milesklee.bsky.social. “What we have is that the rent is too damn high.” www.wired.com/story/the-al...

they all fancy themselves kings and emperors. power tripping dipshits at the whim of a eunuch that isn't even a real person. this is the stupidest shit

Today's newsletter is about how the AI industry is losing - its economics don't work, its leaders can only sell its product through swindling and egregious forward-looking statements, and the largest financial institutions in the world are wising up. www.wheresyoured.at/the-ai-industry-is-losing/

The tech industry does not care about you. You have been sold a lie of through an automation that requires your vigilance and you to work longer hours. You exist in a monoculture sold as anti-establishment, all to enrich Amazon, Google and Microsoft. www.wheresyoured.at/the-ai-industry-is-losing/

I heard from a senior Dem operative with access to the presidential campaign during the 2024 cycle the dismissive “they have nowhere else to go so they have to support us” take on Muslim voters in Michigan. Those voters stayed home and Trump won the state.

Striking fear into the hearts of freshman Civil Eng'g students since 1941:

ive been rooting for 3 popes in a row to finally bring down the hammer of excommunication on SSPX ever since benedict initially lifted the 1988 excommunication for some godforsaken reason and i cant believe i get to live to see it reapplied

The same is true about protecting transgender people. Would Kamala Harris be persecuting them like Trump is? Absolutely not. But did Dems stand up for trans people at the convention where Harris became the nominee? No, they fucking didn’t. People rightfully don’t trust them.
