you are no longer allowed to have imposter syndrome. not after this bari omgwtf weiss situation. you're literally not allowed to feel imposter syndrome ANYMORE

There were problems today. I guess it would be more weird if it all went smoothly.

We're assembling our cardboard planetarium to expand Marsification* listening experiences to galleries and parks and more. We ran out of plastic rivets so getting some handy binder clips in the meantime. It's all very nerve wracking but I'm amazed at how far we've come. *See marsification.com

Happy late 50s birthday to me. I ended the day watching Jane Goodall’s last interview. She understood that death is also life, and the planet is a big bunch of relations. And some people should take a one way trip to a far away planet.

she cooked with that second post

Heyo it's #bandcampfriday which means I'm OBLIGATED to BEG you to purchase my music and other audio artworks. So let me tell you a little bit about my array of fine* offerings. If you don't need any further convincing go here: lilysloane.bandcamp.com to BUY NOW! *as in "they're fine"

I'd forgive them for this if they'd also send us some free health care.

I don't think anyone who performed in Riyadh was a comedian that I'm now disappointed in. It was pretty much the people you'd expect.

Anyone here with experience have an opinion on KO-FI versus Buy Me a Coffee for soliciting contributions/support for creative work? Or something similar that you like better than either of those?

BAY AREA: If racist ICE goons try to kidnap members of our community then we must mobilize and resist. Spread the word: On first day of raids we gather at 5 pm in Justin Herman Plaza. If raids happen after 4pm it will be next day. Sign up and get more info at: www.bayresistance.org/get-ready

The fight for fat lib is the fight for trans rights, disability rights (including Mad rights), anti-racism, gender equality & others I'm probably forgetting. It's ALL about punishing the Other and denying people bodily autonomy & personhood. You can't truly be anti-fascist & support fatphobia.

The anti-fatness of this regime is a great reminder/example of the fascist nature of anti-fatness, whether internalized and self-inflicted or medicalized and concern-trolled or cruelty and bullying. It's about fear and control. Scapegoating, projecting and othering. It's not about health.

Report: Friend Has Been Going By Middle Name This Whole Fucking Time

I have a sore throat so I guess the raspture really did come.

I feel bad for people named Al lately. Every headline is about how you're either saving or destroying the world. Why does lowercase l and uppercase I look the same?

I signed the Harper's letter to show I was brave enough to stand up to the left on free speech. But I've decided that I'm not brave enough to stand up to the right about it.

Counterpoint: they are allowed to do that.

We can learn how important therapy can be for working through your narcissism and death denial. We can learn just how unhinged the quest for "wellness" can make a person. We can learn a lot of things!

There's a lot of mystery and intrigue involved in searching for lost objects in a house occupied by a 14 month old. You really have to get inside the criminal mind.

This is tonight! Can't wait to talk about visions of public transit from science fiction, and what we can learn from them.

❤️🔥 HOT OFF THE PRESSES! 🔥❤️ COYOTE Media Collective is live!! We’re so incredibly proud of this smart, fierce, unapologetic Bay Area media project. Dive in, see what we’ve been building, read our stories, and join the pack! coyotemedia.org

It's not that they're afraid of us, not really, it's because they're literally horny to commit a pogrom, so they can feel big and powerful

I made up a new version called "Farfallelujah" as I fed my toddler farfalle. I think I managed to improvise like 3 semi-coherent verses. Just need 27 more.

My friend Zara and I are building a 12 foot geodesic dome out of cardboard. I'm learning to make animations to project inside and create a mobile planetarium for listening to our audio art concept album about space colonization. I *am* proud and also scared.

It really is the *best* thing. Like, the BEST.

Is it still Schrödinger's President?

Seems public opinion has moved from demanding that the wannabe dictator prove he is not a pedophile to demanding that the wannabe dictator prove he is not dead. Is this progress at delegitimizing the regime and building a mass movement to restore democracy? Unclear...

Sacrificing whole groups of people is the path to fascism, not the path away from it

Ruin a book by adding “Tom Clancy’s” to the title “Tom Clancy’s On All Fours"

Unions forever. Everybody join a union. Start a union. I should start a union and then join it. James Cameron can go whine in an AI cave for all I care.

Every time I accidentally buy something sweetened with stevia I absolutely lose it. (This happens way to frequently and I should read labels more carefully but still.)

Holy moly I'm getting my first royalty check ever. Ah, the things I'll do with $215!!!!!!!!!!!!! (honestly, pretty excited)

find yourself a therapist who can help you connect your musings about the writings of bell hooks with your anxieties about your exercise routine in the course of one session like my therapist just did

I sat down to make a thing on my computer but I don't know how so I'm doing distraction stuff instead.

oh no I accidentally stepped in the discourse

imaginary gf less embarrassing than ai gf because at least ur making something

AI is really good at faking empathy and since that’s often a part of therapy, people might think it’s working. But if it tells you what you want to hear, it enforces a false reality and can make you literally psychotic. A good tip is if a therapist (AI or human) never challenges you, get a new one.

I feel an If Books Could Kill episode coming... @michaelhobbes.bsky.social

It's amazing how this country has simultaneously paused student loan payments for years AND made me feel constant panic, fear, and shame about it.

A poem that's just a list of subject lines from newsletters I'm behind on: cheap tricks for hard problems we're all trapped in a condo building financing our own destruction exploiting our impotent rage the great feminist exhaustion

hey if you don’t make it look like you are being nice then i’m gonna do the thing me and all my friends have refused to do for the past 75 years, which is a large part of the reason we are in this situation in the first place

Preordered from my lovely Noe Valley Bookstore. Excited for the insides of the book but also for this beautiful cover art.

Techbros couldn’t have invented GPS because to have it work at all requires the use of distant black holes; basic research that gov’t needs to fund over decades that tech never will. They don’t realize yet that they’ve turned off the faucet of the tech hose by defunding science.

Every time I'm doing another watch-through of TNG I consider skipping this one and then just...can't?
