just finished looking at photos of old versions of me and boy were the skull emojis in my eyes really prominant, how did any of you think i wasnt about to jump into traffic

my pikmin returning from canada on a rainy day carrying only a plum makes me feel like an absolute monster lmao

🧵 starting with i agree with both ck and the post he's quoting. but when we are talking about being transparent about writers pay you have to know the truth is that even a lot of full time writers aren't making it solely on writing

but wait

Dang. I posted this last night and should have waited a day.

One of my favorite things is getting to tell friends who are new to NYC that the subway "stand clear of the closing doors please" voice is a trans woman named Bernie Wagenblast and she's amazing.

i can't stop thinking about this

i just realized i didnt see any movies in theater the past three months which was a nice little trend i had going when i first moved and now im sad i got so busy

My thoughts on AI anything, really.

2025 if you don't get off the stage istg

then they holler at you about misogyny as though there isn't a contingent of fujos who are weird about mlm the way cishet men are weird about wlw.

give me m/m stories written by men challenge im so tired

Where are we? What the hell is going on? The dust has only just begun to fall Crop circles in the carpet Sinking, feeling Spin me 'round again and rub my eyes This can't be happening When busy streets a mess with people Would stop to hold their heads heavy

A year later, I still think I wrote the single best take on Han Kang’s Nobel win. I especially loved taking this essay away from the New York Times and the Atlantic and giving it to @wasafirimag.bsky.social

i see a lot of suggestive things in places they are not but you're not gonna tell me i'm wrong this time

looks like the servers went down at cloudflare, where i work as the server guy. not to worry, i will know how to fix it as soon as i ask chatgpt what to do

My latest at @comicsjournal.bsky.social: I talked to @oglaf.bsky.social! Not the character, but rather, the people who create it. They don't do many interviews, so this was a real treat. They're funny people! Turns out they're not super private, just...really bad at PR? www.tcj.com/talking-ogla...

me today after seeing evidence all my enemies are suffering and i'm just minding my own business but flourishing

i will never buy a pack of cigarettes for myself but i am seriously considering pitching in on a single pack with others do we can each smoke one (1) then go back to business with our nerves a little less frayed

I made an appearance yesterday on KERA's Think to discuss my recent Scientific American piece!

In the 1890s, Gifford Pinchot — often hailed as America's first serious forest conservationist — went on a quest to make forests that could be tightly controlled. In doing so, Marin Scotten writes, he helped birth both the American suburb and a new age of wildfires. New, on Heat Death!

In 2010, a scientist argued that 2.1 billion-year-old African specimens showed complex life appearing 500 million years ahead of schedule. His critics say they are — literally — fool's gold. At stake? The question of when and how complex life arose at all. My cover story (!) for @sciam.bsky.social!

This person took this when they called the race

Selfie to say I've signed up with @desir.ee and @lookingglasslit.bsky.social and they sent me a mug to mark the occasion! Looking ahead to the next chapter and feeling fine :>

i'm SO excited to finally be holding @hleightondickson.bsky.social's SHIP OF SPELLS! i'm so proud of her and also of the final project, my first with all the bells and whistles - including a map! i have a lot of feelings, but they boill to: put this in the louvre where bonaparte's jewels used to be

Mamdani's about to speak live! www.youtube.com/watch?v=2PP8...

it was almost exactly 21 hours lmaooo

nycc is all fun and games and karaoke and happy accidents before i inevitably do something stupid and end up trapped walking in the rain w/o a jacket or umbrella (which is different than the accident that put me in a bougie restaurant 101 floors up)

cutting out things that were taking up space and energy in a negative way has made so much space for abundance. it was so hard to make the changes, the breaks weren't all clean, but the past few months have been so rewarding - good things, good people, good life. it's nice that it was worth the pain

This is exactly what we need. This is it. "New York City Council member Chi Ossé, a close ally of Zohran Mamdani, is privately discussing a run against House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.)"

The acting CDC director has finally signed off on the vaccine advisory panel's recommendations for the COVID vaccines. While the CDC is trying to sell this as a win for antivaxxers, in reality this means that COVID vaccines will be more accessible than they have been in recent weeks.

a Scholastic book about a Black Asian girl, centering her family, without a single Black Asian creator involved? we really are Sharing Every Story, Celebrating Every Voice 🙏

I'm very mad that Link and Dune both got banned because I was over here trying to be mad all day about the "oh so youre saying Japanese American internment was fascist???" guy

The BlueSky mods will ban everyone but Jesse Singal and JD Vance; the people that should be banned.

i know what i said earlier but moving to blacksky is actually an efficient way to prove the point. just taking our toys to a different sandbox. if enough people leave, it says a lot, and if the worst part is restarting? well, that's potentially solved too. i gotta read this tomorrow

Since Jay continues to sub post like "just leave already" without actually telling people how to, I'll continue to do that for her. Hey, did you know you can leave bsky and take all your followers and posts with you? Here's how: bsky.app/profile/bisp...

Gotta be honest, I don't have it in me to migrate again if that is what people are talking about. You'll have to hear about my next projects the ole fashioned way. Finding a message in a bottle on the beach.

im not really here most of the time (little bursts of activity like now) but if you're leaving bsky or taking hiatus and want to keep in touch you can DM me for my discord which i am on 24/7 - ask anyone

The government is in full shutdown and the Republicans are refusing to call the House back into session. Want to know why? Because we have secured the final vote on releasing the Epstein Files and they don’t want it out. Call GOP and tell them to swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social.

Tell the VC investors that they're taking a larger risk than they realized

There’s a large part of the creative process that involves hours or days of experimentation. Unfortunately, when experimentation leads nowhere, it feels like you wasted a lot of time. The hard part is reminding yourself that you learned what DIDN’T work, and that’s very important.

if you're an author or illustrator who has been dealing with the fallout of the royalties/contracts snafu with sprocket, i humbly suggest you get everything in writing and lawyer up to protect your rights. that's it, that's all i have to say k bye :)

cyberbully T.S. for me, please, i am currently indisposed

hey remember when i said i had some changes? ⬇️⬇️
