Gargoyles is legit a “You can’t make em like this anymore” show. A bunch of classically trained actors getting Disney to lusciously animate their horny high fantasy Shakespeare fanfic that they made during their off time from making Star Trek. And it was a huge hit somehow?

What did Gargoyles know when they made despotic billionaire Xanatos do ayahuasca & become enamored with the Native American trickster Coyote spirit & then appropriate its symbology to create an artificially intelligent ambitious android in his image that was also obsessed with trolling 6 gargoyles.

Perhaps Adam just needs to be kept in a vat of nutritious ectoplasm.

Eleven years ago today we officially launched @autonomouspress.bsky.social Looking forward to another eleven years (or more) of weird books for weird people. Y’all are the best little weirdos ever (complementary).

“Homosexuality has no place in America.” “The left hijacked June to present perversion, to cause gender confusion, and basically to give license for individuals to be indecent in public.” The reason I'm so mad at Democrats is because they won't just say Republicans literally want to kill us all.

Republicans are going to kill us all, and Democrats are going to get us all killed. Fuck all the centrists who said Republicans made okay points about bathrooms and sports teams, like they'd stop there. They'll come for everything that isn't cishet white and nailed down.

My cat is angry because @jseanallen.bsky.social has not come to bed. Yes, it’s not quite 8pm.

As a woman. One thing I want REALLY REALY GOD DAMN BADLY is if for no other reason than how much we claim to love young women I NEED WHITE WOMEN TO A) recognize that racists will almost always be misogynists B) for the love of GOD stop the “now it’s women” when stuff affects them

My priority will always be the people of New Mexico. I will hold the oil and gas industry accountable. I have the experience and track record to prove that. And that's why the oil and gas industry supports my opponent.

His career ended with the killing and coverup of Laquan McDonald, rehabilitation and even promotion serves as a rebuke against the idea such an act should be punished.

Quote with a fictional band that is not Spinal Tap.

Quote with a fictional band that is not Spinal Tap Funny enough, just a couple of days ago I was thinking I should flesh out the lore about Mystery Cult, create some album covers, pin down some of the weird lineup changes, etc. Sadly all I’ve got at hand is this shirt in the Weird Luck webcomic

Here is Jason’s essay about being the first active player in one of the four major men’s U.S. sports to come out as gay. What an absolute hero who will never be forgotten: www.si.com/more-sports/...

if you read the NYT piece out today about the Trump admin condemning Black people to live in raw sewage in the name of fighting "illegal DEI," please make sure you also read and share the piece I wrote about this over a year ago! ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

THREAD. There's been a lot of attention paid to the new 2026 United States Counterterrorism Strategy released by the Trump administration released this week, and understandably so. I've linked it here so you can review it for yourself.

My 05/08/26 postcard features a bee clinging to a wire lattice, an improvised structure fixed to a tree to guide entry into the hive. The man-made mesh tunnel is the doorway to the hive hidden in the tree along Arizona Street. #Albuquerque

A medium/small handheld flashlight should be in reach without getting out of bed – for every bed and/or every person old enough to turn on a flashlight.

In case you need a cute fix, here's a wood duckling (Aix sponsa). That out-of-focus brown blur at the top of the image is Mom. Photo taken in the Rio Grande Bosque in Albuquerque, on May 7, 2026. #nature #naturephotography #birds #ducks

ABQ peeps: here's a petition you can sign to let Mayor Keller know he should veto the city ordinance that criminalizes homelessness c.org/DwNGSsPQKZ

So the current ambassador for children's literature issued a non-apology at an event last night which boils down to the following: A. I'm sorry you were mad, and B. Talking about books was so much better in the 1950s. I know I'm not the only one who hears that as "make publishing great again"

A book everyone should read. Now is the time to grab the audiobook for 60% off!

The thing about abled people is asking even politely for them to consider disability accommodations is read as a horrifically burdensome attack.

I may not have a gender but my labor sure does.

And the man who lies all day said, "Donors gonna pay!" But it turned into a ballroom grift And the girl on the TV said "National security!" So it turned into a ballroom grift Ballroom Grift. Ballroom Grift Ballroom Grift. Ballroom Grift.

It’s the ten year anniversary of the laziest phishing email @autonomouspress.bsky.social ever received

Absolutely. The inherent sense of wrongness that is CatDog is only topped by how overwhelmingly annoying it is. It’s like fingernails on a chalkboard, but the chalkboard is made out of pickles.

This wonderful anthology is filled with unique stories written by very talented authors. I had never come across Derek Des Anges before but I certainly will be seeking this author out now! And I might never eat mushrooms again lol. 🍄 @autonomouspress.bsky.social #SpoonKnife10 #Polarities #Anthology

Maya Angelou on the joys of being edited

I do a lot of exasperated complaining about liberals (I am, after all, a leftist), so here's one about my fellow leftists: Universal basic income and universal services are awesome. They are NOT, however, reparations, and way too many of us pretend otherwise.

Mental health care

Very unimpressed by pop neurodiversity influencers and their AI apologia. More bullshit claiming that anti-AI stances are classist and ableist and racist. Meanwhile, AI is built on exploited black labor, kills disabled people every day, disposesses the working class, and drinks all our water.

Check out @sbristow87.bsky.social's sketches of Aleck Woad! Aleck, protagonist of @andrewmreichart.bsky.social's books WEIRD LUCK IN THE CITY OF THE WATCHER and TIME TRAVELING BLUES IN THE CITY OF THE WATCHER, made his Weird Luck webcomic debut last week. weirdluck.net/comic/2-1-12...

White Americans suffer from that need. White Americans need to believe that one another are all moral actors who just whoops, slipped up, made a bad choice. Everyone else knows that has never been true, not in the last decade, but also not at any point in the history of this country. Not once.

Don’t know why this is coming back but yeah.. giggling about how it’s a nother “TACO” Ignores the fact the stress causes harm , and it’s a control tactic . It’s boundary testing

Yeah so he is just going to keep doing the thing where we are in a constant state of uncertainty, confusion, stress, and tension because that is what abusive people do and the people who are in a position to address this are asleep at the switch.
