Low key proud I did that "can you detect AI images" test that's been going around for someone's master's thesis, and scored 9/10 on first test, 10/10 on second. Really didn't think I had it in me.

FAFO. I'll have another plate, pls

My glorious wife made one of the last nights in Pride month special for a couple hundred people last night, having spent a few months this year doing the full orchestral arrangements (and some original medleys) of a dozen+ songs for a local philharmonic. Almost all by EAR. She is everything <3

Application is now live ⚔️ open through 7/10 forms.gle/RX2XkKqYGZTi...

I think the medieval church did some good things. Excommunicating animals is one of those things. I just discovered the existence of the "wrap around spider" which flattens itself against bark to hide and I want some branch of the Roman Curia to declare it anathema.

Throw some money in if you can. I did. We're all we have. gofund.me/4df4cf2cd

You can draw a through line between Standing Rock, Stop Cop City, the Palestine encampment student protests, and the results of the Prairieland case. And then still have Dems asking why there aren't more protests...

Alright, I'm on one today, and clearly screaming into the void, but FINE, I can't take it. Getting nostalgic about "Dressed to Kill" (1980) of all things, and oh we couldn't make that today, we're "perhaps too self conscious", well have you heard of "Stonehearst Asylum"?

Like, you can't make this today? They literally did, and it just sucks, because what you REALLY can't make today in alot of traditional outlets is something original, and so we keep getting unnecessary remakes.

In a documentary about horror movies, 1 out of 4 interviews say "you couldn't make that today" about graphic sexual assault, torture, dead kids, and I feel like I'm going mad, are you paying any attention? MANY of these movies have direct remakes made in the last 15 years.

Sometimes, to manage the emotions associated with trying to help my stories find their audience, I lean on the wisdom of the Cenobites. Sad about rejection? "Oh, no tears please, it is a waste of GOOD SUFFERING". Encouraged by an editor to keep submitting? "And to think... I hesitated".

My wife, an accomplished composer of symphonies and more: *singing* "Noisy cats get PICKED UP AND WIGGLED! Picked up and wiggled! PICKED UP AND WIGGLED!"

Leona is a former colleague of mine, done wrong by the same company and put through so much worse than I was. Please help if you can.

Just reached out to a writer I admire on their website, that's a normal thing that normal people do, right? It's not invasive or presumptuous?

Garuda's new proto-frame look is... doing me some favors.

People from around the world coming to the US for the Cup is making me think, hell, maybe we can embrace a kind of soft decline of the American empire. They frickin' love our junk food and liquor, so much that they seemed to largely forget how much of a jerk we've been for decades, like-

Thank you, fellow Texans, for showing all the visitors some of the best of what we are and can be while they were in town <3

Holy god, are they in Fair Park?! It's an actual carpet of Netherlanders!!! Have we been invaded and does it mean we all get stroopwaffeln?

I've known nuns that would absolutely run their convent like this, and I adore it <3

Reposting for the truth, and for the people in the comments who won't take a little light hearted banter making the truth twice as funny

One of our roommates, every time they see our cat, slowly enunciates "Joe Biden" at her, in the hopes that the sound will eventually develop some kind of association in our cat's mind.

NOT LIKE THAT, FRANK, GODDAMMIT

Yo, lots of us should check their website out, they got an open call for submissions from working girls and it looks legit as hell

My kinda spicy take on authoritarians targeting libraries and similar places is that there's no rational calculus going on there, no grand evil plot to "attack knowledge" at its root. I legit think that you've got two types here, neither of which is thinking on that level:

Hello, today is my Birthday! ✨And the best gift for an artist is a retweet of their artworks 🍃🌿

The forced detransition of everyone under 18 in the uk is an act of genocide. If you or someone you know is affected by it and needs help, reach out. I will teach you how to DIY. I will help you get the materials. I will walk you through processing it. Death before detransition.

I'm listening to a lot of classical Indian music and stuff like this lately to keep me in headspace for a story involving mythology from the subcontinent, but this just... slaps on a level near impossible to conceive.

Julia Ducournau seems unwilling to let even the ending credits of her films escape the editing room until they've become pregnant with meaning

Well I did finally get an original story underway, after a mystifying period of feeling avoidant, and I also took a 14 year old piece and tossed it into a submission box like a wishing well, no expectations. Trying to find the joy and freedom again, and getting close I think, despite bad brain juice

Only like 15% of will find this funny but I definitely do, so POSTING REGARDLESS www.youtube.com/shorts/HvloG...

My granddad was there, Omaha and the bulge after. I won't claim we were ever close or would've agreed on much, but this much we'd see eye to eye on, and he earned that silver star

We're getting another animate ghostbusters series?!

In this era, pornographers post time lapse proof of their dedication to hand crafting expert filth, while the potentates with power over us can't even be arsed to do their own lying anymore.

Trying to think in tropes is, for me, like trying to have a conversation in a language I never learned, so bear with me... "Ancient mythological predator has opinions about cultural appropriation" "Not sure if food, sex, or both" "The only thing straight about this monster is their moral compass"

Talk about the power of stories over observed reality, this guy gets it

Marinated and sauced up some chops with butter, lime juice and achiote, little bit of fresh cracked sea salt, these Canadians don't KNOW, man, they don't know. Brought some tamales to wife's synogogue once and watched an adult woman try to eat the corn husk.
