From the endocrine society this AM: www.endocrine.org/news-and-adv...

this is an actual Bluesky Rule: if you have ever so much as exchanged a single like, you are required to hold up the book in the shop and say "hey my friend wrote this"

I was talking to my mother on the phone and being brought up to speed like an ER doctor’s debriefing at the start of a shift.

Heyooo I'm doing an AMA over at r/Fantasy today! Come hang out and ask questions if you have an account. I'm giving away three signed copies of Rabbit Test and Other Stories, anywhere USPS will ship. www.reddit.com/r/Fantasy/co...

Over half of working artists report lost income and opportunities, and a vast majority say they’re now competing with image generators and AI has stunted their careers according to the new study by Carnegie Mellon researchers. No wonder that 99%—99%!—say they dislike AI, and 85% refuse to use it.

Found some old sketchbooks while helping clear out stuff at my parents' house. Sei and Letetlei from 1999!!

These are all great options but I strongly suspect it’s Mr. Brightside

Do people in other parts of the country consider scratch tickets an acceptable and enjoyable gift for all occasions or is that a Masshole thing/is my family trashy

Just saw Mortal Kombat II bc my fiancé is a sicko for bad movies and got half-off tickets and up until the VERY LAST SCENE I was confusing it in my head with Street Fighter and was like damn how long is this movie, how are they going to fit Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes in

the only thing spreading faster than hantavirus is Dungeon Crawler Carl fever among every ageing millennial I know

Matt Ramsey's daily drawings of how his dog and cat choose to sleep on him are more beautiful and meaningful works of art than anything all the AIs in the world working together could ever create. I genuinely love them.

Anyone who’s taken the 66 from Mission Hill to Harvard Square knows exactly how Odysseus felt.

This was wonderful

What a thread!

let's fuckin gooooo (there's no point to attending the Met Gala if you're not gonna get wild with it!)

What job hunting looks like right now

i'm convinced that ai psychosis is the mass market version of what happens to rich people when theyre surrounded by yes-men all day every day

But the big one: "With 'ai,' I can outsource the entirety of my paid job and get paid for doing no work." Er, do you actually believe employers will continue to pay lots of people to sit around and do nothing while LLMs do their job? Why would they not reduce staff, since there's so little effort?

Happy International Worker's Day everyone. Let's all smash the machinery hurtful to commonality together.

The little note in my bank's app that reminds me there's a $75,000 monthly limit to mobile deposit always feels like such a mean joke

Made my annual birthday cake, and it may be the best cake I have ever made. Paul Hollywood handshake-ass vanilla-coconut cake.

My old nemesis, shopping for sun dresses while having boobs whose bras require German engineering, we meet again

In deep mourning because I finished Disco Elysium and will never again be able to play it for the first time

Seeing a lot of Muji love from folks who want to avoid Mosekine for using AI, but Muji uses coerced Uyghur labor. That's NOT BETTER.

I just got out of watching American royalty Alysa Liu, Amber Glenn, and Ilia Malinin skate and avoiding my phone for three hours and WHAT happened

So far on this blessed #IndieBookstoreDay I have received a free beanie and a free bagel, everything is coming up Dana

Saw this meme and I did it. Opening line to Neuromancer.

Witnessed a wild argument on the orange line that included the lines YOU CAN’T SAY THAT, YOU’RE WHITE and THATS WHY YOU DONT GET NO DICK. Dude across from us goes “god, I love this fucking city.” Me too, man, me too 🤣

Just found the tumblr post from August 3, 2013, where I announced that I had officially sent out my very first query letter for my novel. STARTED FROM THE BOTTOM NOW WE HERE (3 books later, agented but still waiting for Good Emails)

Almost no one sees my art or writing as is, so getting paid for it sounds rad lmao

the 2026 Atlantic hurricane names have been released, and I need to tell you all right now that if I get swept off this mortal coil by a storm named Kyle I am haunting the halls of the World Meteorological Organization until the end of time
