Does TMC ever NOT slay? Fantastic.

I try to focus on posting about art and comics and not my complaints about the state of everything but GOOD GRIEF

My imagination makes me human and makes me a fool; it gives me all the world and exiles me from it.

December Lucky 13: CHRISTMAS BOOOOORG #BorgolyGo

Cannot even

Article title: The NYT wrote more about Harvard last year than all community colleges combined I posted three main figure from the article below www.vox.com/2014/7/23/59...

And I don't know if the answer is: everyone is too traumatized to do work and we need to reinvent society. Or if it's more like: generations are losing their cognitive abilities and willpower due to destructive technologies. Or: we all have post-viral brain damage. Or: all of the above.

This is The Way

"I say we take off and nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure."

I am in this picture and, frankly, I am not ashamed to say that I like it.

Relationship counseling but just blind texting each other your semiotic and power analysis of Mamdani and Trump meeting to see if you’re compatible.

This looks amazing and I frikkin loved the Jade City books. (Also I know it’s the way of publishing now, but I do not love getting excited about a book only to discover it’s half a year away…)

This

Connie Chan, a progressive San Francisco lawmaker with close ties to prominent labor unions, is entering the newly open race to succeed Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi.

This 🧵 gets closer to what is actually happening in my writing classroom than most. I’ll be working away and then—BAM—existential professional crisis as I see just enough confirmation of synthetic text/synthetic ‘thought’ that it erodes everything…

OTD in 680 CE Hild of Whitby died. Ever year I celebrate. This year by a) showing off my fabulous, specially commissioned snakestone cast in silver to wear as a lapel pin, silver jacket pin cast in silver, and her death b) my imagined version of her grave marker

For the Disability community, losing Alice Wong is like losing Ursula Le Guin or Octavia Butler. She was a powerhouse, a pioneer, and a mentor to many. She taught me so much. And always reminded me what we were fighting towards, as well as against. I miss her clarity, bravery, and joy.

I’ve learned so much from Alice. What a loss.

Whoa that was quick

Let my gravestone read "PUNCTUATION GOES INSIDE THE QUOTATION MARKS."

This is one of several books I recommend (repeatedly) to people who want to better understand the current tech broligarchy of which AI is (now) the leading edge. It is disturbing and it is excellent.

I get this a lot too. I don't use ChatGPT or any LLMs in my work because I want my writing to sound like me, not like the averaged-out voice of the internet. But also, writing is thinking, and thinking is a habit. I don't want to get out of that habit.

And there are many other reasons I don't use LLMs. They're not reliable, they are built on theft, their creation incurs environmental costs & direct harm to people. The broader societal push to use AI for everything is destructive in countless ways & has horrifying political ramifications.

I am offended, deeply offended… Red delicious apples are DISGUSTING. The Big Apple is a HONEYCRISP! And in Mamdani’s New York, EVERYONE will be able to afford honeycrisps—as a city owned grocery store!!!

My feed for the last hour’s worth of posts:

From Evan: it's a huge night of hope for the trans community. The Republicans went all in on anti-trans ads in multiple races and so far there's no sign it got them anything. Perhaps the page can be turned on blaming us for Harris' loss last year.

Wow opening up this app at this moment is just joy joy joy and I love seeing everyone so excited and hopeful

OpenAI is a social arsonist.

ALL Haymarket EBooks are 80% off through November 7th ✊🏾✊🏿✊🏽

Here's a thought, if you're stuck and you feel like some shitty random text would spur you to find the way forward...why don't you *write* some shitty random text. You might actually learn something.

@charliejane.bsky.social has hereby captured a large chunk of what I feel about reading literature.

This is everything right now

Good morning from these Halloween goblins

This kind of work creates POLITICAL COVER for people (normies and politicos) to peel away from the fash and do hard but necessary work to recreate the public sphere. It's THE LITERAL EMBODIMENT of liberal pluralism in the BODY POLITIC.

Faster faster— something to look forward to

Running this back because it's two minutes of authentic and weird joy for your Friday morning.

grammarly turns my students' writing into absolute trash and I hate it with the fire of a thousand suns and what I hate more? that my students believe this is what they're *supposed* to sound like

This is my favorite thing on the internet rn. Follow the instructions!!

We honor the legacy of Miss Major Griffin-Gracy, a fierce protector of our collective freedom. Our hearts are with her loved ones and all who carry her vision forward. "We will honor Miss Major forever." - @imarajones.bsky.social

yup, we rise up to the level of our training, not to the level of our imagined selves.

Truly sorry to learn of Kent Wong’s passing. He was an inspiration and a fierce mentor and groundbreaker with a passion for doing justice. labor.ucla.edu/statement-on...
