i like you bro. i’m gonna add you to my bestiary

This article quotes the university president saying Lia was on the women's swimming and diving team, but she's not on this year's roster on their athletic department website. The NCAA banned her from being on the team when Trump first took office.

I was recently asked if I had any tips on cultivating a writing practice. Here's ten of them! I elaborated on these in my newsletter (linked below) 1. Remember that everything is research 2. Start with specificity 3. Use timers 4. The blank page is never truly blank 5. Play with your mode of writing

happy monday

Years ago I went through a phase of putting chicken legs on ... stuff? Everything I've ever made has always been a bit absurd and self-indulgent. For example: here is a breakfast radish on legs, which I made of wool and wire.

We'll be closing Late Pledges on KS on October 12th! Make sure to get those final orders in and don't miss out ✳️

G-d forbid that Palestinians live free, physically and mentally

who wants to write critical essays (for fun) together with meeeee

Ugh, I can’t stand this publishing startup. They pay people to write fan fiction — they tried to commission a story from me. 831 Stories was founded by MBA brains who saw how lucrative romance is as a genre, and their branding targets lit snobs who think they are better than romance.

me in the downtown area of any city on earth: but despite all of our differences, are we not all siblings and friends? me driving on a highway anywhere on earth: i support the total eradication of the human race and i vote

Look at that. And New Mexico is not a rich state. Just one that figured out some priorities.

It would be so tight if the worst people on Earth could stop having their wildest dreams come true for one fucking second

part 1 is all about freud. part 2 is both lacan and irigaray. the phenomenon of the "coexistence of the dual" that constantly reoccurs as a theme in part 2 is irigaray's framework of sexual difference. lacan is of course the language of how desire in part 2 operates

having artistic influences never stops feeling like. Type of humiliation you feel when you bring a reference photo to a haircut and you're like I know the guy in the picture is hot please ignore the part where he's hot I'm obviously not asking you to make me hot

As said a lot of times: - this needs to go on until they accept defeat - your calls and emails should remain on the topic and make a complaint about your inability to spend money on legal things - ask for a case number, ask for a supervisor, send mail if they ask to the @ given - it's a marathon

UPDATE: I made a blog post about where and how you can support some of the affected artists! Check it out, it'll continue to update as I continue to find more links from contributors. www.darkchibishadow.com/post/the-yao...

some major bangers here

Yeah, I worked in customer support and, if it's a 'peak' of one day, they will not care. They'll wipe their hands and say "ok, volumes are back to normal, it's fixed" If after a week they are still receiving pressure... Then they'll begin to get nervous

an extremely slapdash resource page for people to get started with their own websites! it has a few popular templates for galleries/comics/fics/blogging : 3

love when a paywall sounds like it’s drawing a gun on you

The "Trans Dudes in Gay Situations" Collection on Itchio is just 6 entries away from having 250 total. Anyone got a story featuring a trans guy in a gay situation that isn't added yet? Let me know please, thanks! itch.io/c/4614757/tr...

took the Pedagogy of the Dysphoric workshop today with @workshops4gaza.bsky.social, and it was as amazing as expected from their programming. I've just donated $10 to this matching campaign for the the Sameer Project—can you join me? open-books-a-poem-emporium.myshopify.com/collections/...

We have three urgent requests today: 1. Contribute to a trusted org or individual fundraiser. Don't keep scrolling.. We know that the many requests can get overwhelming - like your contribution won't make a dent. But we have strength in numbers. Here is one: chuffed.org/project/1132...

"The Talking Heads are strange truth-tellers, joyfully angry people, persistently interested in the power of art. And in STOP MAKING SENSE, collaborating with Jonathan Demme elevates their music into something truly transcendent."

Sorry but personally if a miniature horse woke me up from anesthesia by banging out nonsense on a miniature keyboard it would send me into a liminal space between life and death from which I would never return

just saw penda's fen!! thank god for delightfully odd radical queer pagan low-budget tv movies

labubus feel like they’re from a sailor moon episode where there’s a new hit plush popular with young girls and they turn into to gremlins that bite their ankles to suck out all the love and joy essences out

day 3 post-top and I'm starting to feel itchy and I want to shower..which i cannot do until monday 😞 also it took three whole days but i'm starting to get bored and irritable lol

I've slapped together approximately 173 pages of material that aims to teach programming a personal website with HTML and CSS to artists, animators, writers, music producers, etc. F*ck It, Let's Make a Website Part 1 is now live ✨ Go here to read: bit.ly/filmawPartOne More info below 👇

The New York Times was more skeptical of the academic qualifications of a black woman who had secured tenure and become the president of Harvard than they were of a white man who washed out of a grad program with a massive scandal and then became a white nationalist troll.

After many years in the making, I'm very excited to share the news that my book "SICK AND DIRTY: Hollywood's Gay Golden Age and the Making of Modern Queerness" is coming from @BloomsburyPub in June. You can preorder now! geni.us/sickanddirty

From the New York Times, a 5 part podcast ignoring their own role in fomenting a moral panic targeting trans youth.

Fuck it. Trans folks need MATERIAL SUPPORT. @distributeaid.org is launching an HRT Harm Reduction Toolkit that provides 1 year of medical supplies needed to take injection-based HRT. We were planning to go live in January, but I'm not waiting. Fund the kits here: distributeaid.org/hrt-harm-red...

People are always asking me what kind of motives I have. Ulterior, obviously. Stop asking.

Hey all, here's a post at @ssrc.org about how anti-trans talking points are getting wrapped into Google's AI search results. AI search not only cites anti-trans disinfo, but sanitizes it, making practices like conversion therapy sound legitimate and safe.

I feel like if we all had $35k emergency savings funds then we probably wouldn't be facing a crushing recession idk I'm not an economist www.usatoday.com/story/money/...

Porn fic that takes fifty thousand words to get to the fucking and it's not even a slow burn, it just takes that much worldbuilding to properly contextualise the author's incredibly specific kink.

finally getting around to reading @rmhaines.bsky.social Parking Lot Horizon and now it looks like someone else has requested my only copy 🙄
