Getting an autism diagnosis for my 40th birthday feels like finally finding the dungeon map after a lifetime of stumbling through a labyrinth in the dark. It’s gonna be a lot less painful from here on out.

Ew, Pete Mohrbacher/Angelarium is being allowed back into GenCon. I’m not attending or vending but those of you who do might want to speak up.

I have officially been diagnosed with autism, a week before my 40th birthday. 👾✨👩‍🎤💫💜

I put up a birdfeeder to entertain the cats and summoned a raccoon instead. Cats seem more concerned than entertained.

Pitch: Secret of Nimh but from the POV of the over-worked, white collar guy at Nimh desperately trying to convince everyone that hyper-intelligent rats have made a democratic society with advanced technology, and actual goddamn magic, under some farmers rosebush in the middle of nowhere Maryland.

can’t believe a narcissist is being so publicly humiliated by a reflecting pool

The Democratic Party freaking out that Democratic Party candidates are winning is the most Democratic Party thing ever.

when AI companies go bankrupt

They just made the most money ever on an original movie by an creator/director who actively hates AI and this is the lesson they take from it.

I saw The Backrooms last night and loved the visuals, especially the pool rooms! It reminded me that I have a reoccurring dream that is like if the pool rooms were a never-ending maze of minty green tiles, bathtubs, showers, and toilets, a long forgotten 30s art deco bizarro health spa labyrinth.

The question isn’t whether I’ll become insufferable if I get a letterboxd account, but HOW much more insufferable, exactly?

Rough day, so have a poem about the Jar of Moles in the Grant Zoology Museum in London that everyone has regarded as too thoroughly batshit to publish

My 40th birthday is in a few weeks and I’m thinking of making it funeral themed. 💀

Seeing this movie around the same time your actually read Romeo and Juliet is a *very* specific generational calling card that I’m more than happy to carry

If Waffle House doesn’t make this their new slogan, then capitalism has failed

I’ve already met some neat bucket list moths this summer! This is a male Io moth and a male Cecropia moth. Both are silk moths without mouths and only live about a week just to find mates!

Happy Pride from this queer and non-binary artist!

I have never shipped anything so hard as Keke Palmer and Hot Ones guy. Please. Please make them a thing.

Bog witch summer activated

Here are some nice mushrooms

Happy Pride to this Caravaggio self-portrait that made one man so gay he had to go to the hospital

I SOOO appreciate the outpouring of support and kindness while I navigate this awful situation. Today we move to a longer term stay housesitting for a sweet family while they go on vacation. I’m able to afford some groceries today to get us settled in, and I couldn’t do that without y’all. 💜

Get a black cat, they said. This tiny menace managed to completely disappear from our hotel room today. We looked EVERYWHERE. It’s not that big! I went calling for her on each floor and stairwell. The receptionist helped! Then around 9:30, she just appears from the V O I D, screaming for food.

Please help Kelly if you can. (Read the thread below for more information.)

A week ago, I was meant to move to Portland, OR with my daughter & 2 cats. I had everything lined up, including a full merit scholarship for grad school. Until my ex-husband decided to fight me for custody and now we can’t leave. So, we’re living in Airbnbs and hotels until it’s legally resolved.

Hypermobility means my default position is frog.

Oh hell yeah @amnesty.org comes out swinging: "Amnesty International finds that standalone generative AI systems... are fundamentally incompatible with IHRL. As such, Amnesty International is calling for a prohibition of such systems." www.amnesty.org/en/documents...

Last chance to support my Oracle deck Kickstarter! Thank you to everyone who has helped get it to the finish line! www.kickstarter.com/projects/kel...

✨Sound up for crispy deck shuffling sounds! I made sure my oracle deck feels AMAZING because anything less wouldn’t represent the love and care I’ve put into creating it. ✨ If you need it, you know what to do, but hurry! The Kickstarter ends early Sunday! www.kickstarter.com/projects/kel...

I have few enemies. You truly have to have gravely betrayed, violated, or misused me to earn that place. I typically give the benefit of the doubt because I believe most humans have good intentions despite their flaws. Once that doubt is erased, though, I rarely forgive and I never forget.

Please don’t miss out on my Oracle deck, there’s less than 3 days left to support this 100% human made project! Aw www.kickstarter.com/projects/kel...

CPTSDeez Nuts.

my confidence that these people are going to lose is rising and my estimate of the amount of damage they are going to do on the way out, especially as they realize they're losing, is also rising

Another beloved male creator with a misogynistic take on creating art has deeply disappointed the artist community by turning to AI? Shocking.

Generative AI has never made it more clear how deeply entrenched creative industries are in a class war we're actively losing and it just feels real fucking bad getting a thorough accounting of every single person you respected willing to sell out all their colleagues for quick cash

how did we go from “reduce your carbon footprint” to building data centers everywhere

As an anthropologist, I endorse this message!

The Squamish people of what is now Vancouver were illegally dispossessed of their land 100 years ago. They sued, got the land back, and used their sovereignty to ignore local zoning and build 6,000 new homes over the loud objections of nearby wealthy NIMBYs. Now other tribes are getting in the game.

“I don’t see how Kojima would support genAI, his stories are all very cautionary about that sort of thing” Look if the Neil Gaiman stuff didn’t entirely shatter the illusion that you can write a story about a subject while your personal principles are directly opposed to that, I dunno what will.

I wanted to love without brutality, but my fangs were sharp and my hurt was deep. -2019

yikes :(

AI is class warfare. Plain and simple.

Hey you know what's less expensive than AI, doesn't pollute water of nearby towns, looks fucking gorgeous forever, and people will actually be excited for? Stopmotion. The kind that you make in front of a camera with human hands.

This really is it, this is the part that keeps me raging against the machine. Every day of my career I’m shoulder to shoulder with incredible people, pouring their skill & point of view into the work they do, making choices that amaze and delight me. Frame by frame, drawing by drawing…that’s THE job
