WHAT YOU FAIL TO SEE MR POPE

The language of non-consent around AI is really telling. "It's too late to be scared." "It's here whether we want it or not." "You'll have to learn to work with it." "You can't fight the inevitable." All just variations of "you're not allowed to say no." Creepy technology made by creepy people.

.....Would anyone ever perchance be willing to buy things like this? They're cross stitched pins of ffxiv stuff! I'd price them nice and cheap I'm just so stressed about this medical bill hehe. If not no worries, I know physical items are hard to justify! (these are mockups not the ones I'd send)

There have been two hosts in the history of Reading Rainbow. The Legend of Literacy, LeVar Burton! And... me, Mychal Threets, a librarian 🥹🤯 I am a reader, a librarian because LeVar Burton and Reading Rainbow made us believe and see we belong in books, we belong everywhere ✨ youtu.be/e7es7qdWVnU

You can tell the shutdown isn't a real emergency because Ted Cruz is still in the country.

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES should you give a list of the prescriptions you take to a federal government that has directly targeted people with chronic illness, mental illness, disability, autism, etc, with the eugenic language of elimination and stated outright they’re everything wrong with the country.

Molting corvid season JACKPOT! I saw about 50 yellow-billed magpies on my way into Pinnacles National Park, hopefully to capture the Milky way. Super excited to show you all some of my shots later on! 🪶

This is why we fund scientists to study things like oyster slobber even if you don’t think it sounds important

It's time... the candles are lit... 🕯️ Our exorcism roguelite Malys is coming OUT of Early Access into 1.0 on the 24th of October! There's so much more to discover, including the FULL story as penned by David Gaider, more demons, more cards, and more content.

Long and short of it is a translator though “Larboard starts with a L so the players will get it, right?” He was wrong.

Great news! JSTOR now have a free account with an Independent Researcher category. You can access 100 documents per month www.jstor.org/action/showL...

so this fucking sucks but I am begging you all to stop telling people not to use Etsy. so many crafters (myself included) do NOT have a better platform to go to and we will be the only ones who get hurt by you boycotting the platform please do send them complaints, though

The bees have discovered Brutalism

Theres a higanbana growing in my yard! I've never seen one before I had no idea we had any planted.

I just called Chuck Schumer’s office and, for the first time EVER, a person answered, who then politely entered my complaints into their call log. This tells me two things: 1) They’re not getting enough calls over there, and 2) If you want to yell at Schumer, today’s the day. (212) 486-4430

Spooky season approaches, so I'm going to repost some of my Halloween comics from years past.

the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.

If you want the Forest Service to be anything other than just a logging company get in those public comments, people

Yesterday, from @josephinelee.bsky.social: Texas has 315,000 home health and personal care aides—the nation’s third-highest number. In 2024, they earned an average hourly wage of only $11.29, the second-lowest average wage among all 50 states.

It’s back to gracklepalooza! A lot of the grackles have left on their migration, but there are still quite a few hanging around. With his feathers fresh from the summer moult, this male Common Grackle, was foraging in the trees and decided to fly down to the creek for a drink! #Birds 🪶

SILENT HILL FUCKIN RULES AGAIN

It's difficult to overstate the influence Recettear's surprise hit of a digital English release was in terms of getting the Japanese games industry to turn their heads towards PC as a viable release platform. We all owe a lot to Andrew and his work and I'm so sad to hear this.

I hate interviewing with places where the manager is just reading stuff off a paper. They're representing their workplace just as much as I'm representing me. Awkwardly working your way through a printout doesn't inspire confidence

秋ー！

Almost Home - this month’s riso print to ring in the fall. Not sure how to describe it, but this time of year always feels like I’m almost “home” so I wanted to come up with something that touches on that feeling a little

I do a comic about ornithological vocabulary for every issue of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology's wonderful Living Bird magazine. Here's the latest one, featuring the American Bittern.

The thing about being neurodivergent is that I Like It. What I don’t like is that the world imposes numerous taxes on me for being like this. I don’t view it as a Me problem.

Baby Steps starts as an elaborate shitpost before slowly revealing itself to be a sincere game about male insecurity. A deconstruction of the kind of idealized picture of manhood that video games helped create wrapped in a terrific slapstick comedy. My review. www.polygon.com/baby-steps-r...

If you think Tylenol is bad for children’s health what until you see what guns do.

Glad Disney reinstated Kimmel. It’s now up to everyone to prove to Sinclair they’ve made a horrible mistake. This means calling their advertisers, boycotting their channels, and protesting outside their stations. It can’t stop here. We did it with the Tesla Takedown. Time for Sinclair Takedown.

Too late, Batman. Once this Tylenol floods the city's water supply, my wiki won't run out of editors ever again

Everyone's clowning about the tylenol thing, but I'm a lot more worried about them recommending a drug that's usually given for chemo side effects to autistic people based off a study of 40 people in a mixed age group. That is a broke grad student with a bag of fun size skittles study

Disney adults canceling subscriptions, vacations, etc really are making the Harry Potter adults that threw a fit over a $60 video game look like huge bitches

１口飲んだ時の仕上がりが好き。 モデルさんはInstagramから 月毎にフリー募集かけるようにしてます。 この募集の仕方にしてから、気持ち的に無理なく楽しめてる有難いんこよ☕🐥

Friends & authorities in Makkari, Hokkaido were looking for an 87yo man who went missing while foraging for mushrooms. While Fuji News was interviewing his friends, the man emerged from the woods: "Hey guys, sorry." buff.ly/VCY9EP0

For those of you who thought maybe we're wasting our time at this point: maybe not?

The solution right now is not saying “move to Mastodon, to Pillowfort, use Picarto galleries” etc, bc that won't stop this silent escalation of censorship and sexual repression on the internet. The issue is not which platform we choose, but rather raising our voices against what is happening.

🌹 no room for fascists 🌹

I can’t help it. The grackles are still here, and need to be photographed 🤣 The male Common Grackles usually take every opportunity to display, especially in the spring! But it’s Fall, and this male was displaying a lot! Apparently, he knows what he looks like🤣 #Birds #photography #wildlife 🪶
