That joy must not be sold. It must not be "privatised," made into another privilege for the privileged. A public library is a public trust. And that freedom must not be compromised. It must be available to all who need it, and that's everyone, when they need it, and that's always. — Ursula K Le Guin

We released domesticated computers from captivity and they displaced healthy ecosystems

I truly don’t get the appeal of podcasts having to be video now. Podcasts are at their very best when you’re doing something else, working out or playing videogames etc, and no good podcaster has ever been someone who should be shown on screen that’s just not how that works. It’s a goblin job.

Men would rather game than go to therapy

all discourse aside, there is one machine with consciousness. it's printers. they are alive and conscious and they hate you and they'd take your arm clean off if you let them. never trust a printer.

midnight dance 🌜🌟 #art #cuteart

just a reminder that bandcamp friday is tomorrow & streaming services are interrupting music streams with ai generated shit, flooding the database with artists that don't exist in any way other than profiting the platform owners so instead of paying a monthly fee, buy an album or two each month ok

I've been waiting all year to repost this 🎃

so happy using my new adorable grocery bag i got from @leifyooo.bsky.social at the van game garden this weekend! 😍

if tims is bringing back 'vintage' coffee cup designs, they need to bring back the old lids too. the full experience. i need the stupid tab to flip up and hit my nose every time i take a drink.

You simply cannot make me spend my time on this stuff. Oh the president said Tylenol causes autism? Well it doesn't. No I'm not going to pore through research papers to prove it to you. That's not what my time is for. My time is for playing videogames and gazing lovingly at my wife.

hey this is evil and will personally make my life harder and put my health in danger as a severely disabled person there are exceptions for people with disabilities but the excepted services are inadequate, and government of canada disability services often have prohibitively strict qualifications

I illustrated a tribute to my beloved cat, who is the most evil princess a cat can be. I love her.

Is it the time of year to post this one again? #chicktober

my favorite subgenre of Halloween decoration is “skeleton of things that absolutely do not have skeletons”

putting this on your timeline again

if you have infinite monkeys typing on infinite typewriters one of them will eventually produce the entire works of shakespeare. but you don't have that kind of start up capital. start with 10 monkeys writing steven king's Christine. soon you'll be turning a profit and can start scaling your monkeys

Happy #BiWeek ! 💗💜💙

saw a post i liked on tumblr today.....didnt see that they'd posted it on their account here but i wish they would its a sentiment that resonated w me more than making "good" art it's just important to make art....thanks man

The eye exam is the perfect game design. That big E is a great tutorial that teaches you the basic mechanic. But it doesn't baby you and quickly gets hard as they introduce the small and blurry enemies.

Fall stuff!! #art #illustration

why does every alarm clock app suck ass in at least one way

REAL !

Canadians! There is a petition to sign to protest Mastercard and Visa's control over the purchase of legal adult content. This is specifically about the Steam & itchio situation, but language protects adult creators. www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en... #nsfw #censorship #canpoli @acvalens.net

The last game in this month's 1-page TTRPG highlight is... Trash Bandits by @tallywinkle.itch.io! This game is rules-lite and a great starting point for chaotic stories (plus it's awesome to play a raccoon). Full review on TTRPGkids: https://loom.ly/yQMnoFc

Don’t be afraid to share your writing. There are six Sharknado movies.

A Sorceress Comes to Call by T. Kingfisher I love her fantasy so much!!! Nettle and Bone is also an all time favourite. I can't wait to start Hemlock and Silver.

Getting my ass handed to me by the inexorable march of time. Time just absolutely beating the everliving shit out of me up and down the block

Showing children of the future the unacceptable hair rendering on the left to explain why we had to get rid of the rainforest.

approaching the last few times i can post this. one assumes.

why does all hold music have an abrupt cut followed by dead air followed by the music looping

I filled an old windex bottle with holy water and spray my ghouls with it anytime they misbehave

Not my circus. Which prompts the question of why my monkeys are involved

I drew this on my lunch break your excuses are fucking pathetic

No darkness lasts forever. And even there, there are stars.

One thing that doing creative work teaches you is that ideas are worth nothing. Anybody can have an idea. In a writers room you have to come up with a hundred ideas a day, and most of those don’t make the page. It’s the work of making something that gives it value. The patina of humanity.

Virgo (24 Aug - 23 Sep) remember: Posting Through It normally looks a lot like sitting at your computer, or on your phone, doing nothing. but you are actually doing something very valuable. entertaining me. so, go a little wild this week. I've been bored

Happy 13 years to the only video that matters m.youtube.com/watch?v=bLF4...
