Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

All the traits that you have been taught to value and look for in special individuals - courage, intelligence, strength - are actually collective traits. There is no genius or hero coming to save us from our problems. We solve them together or not at all. Socialism or barbarism.

I've been wanting to do a tribute piece for FINAL FANTASY TACTICS: The Ivalice Chronicles for a while now, featuring my main team at the end of the game. 😁 Here's to one of the best games of all time! 🥂❤️

When I see an ad boasting of all that A.I. can create for me

KIM KITSURAGI - "What is it, detective? Can you make it out?" BULLET - "if you read this you are gay lmao" 1. "It, um, doesn't say anything." 2. "Transgender ideology. My old foe." 3. [Espirit de Corps - Medium 10] "I think you should read it for yourself, Kim."

Fix your heart or die 💔

once again thinking about this passage from David Lynch's book Catching the Big Fish

every trip to the grocery store holds the potential to radicalize me into a niche political sect. wish me luck

The best part about having an abysmally bad memory is how I can reread a book years later and it's a completely fresh experience because I've legitimately forgotten everything that happens in it

feel like my personality would be fixed if only I could find a new TV show to obsess over

I made a blocklist for some of the new showing up to troll anti trans folks. No oxygen for these schmoes! bsky.app/profile/did:...

Which as a reminder, Bsky has had a sizeable korean and japanese population for ages, and unfortunately this setting could mean you're missing out on a lot of cool people. This is not a preference or what you post, this -limits- what languages you see! Set it to nothing!

My phone just auto corrected "trauma dumping" to "trauma dumpling," so I painted this in case anyone would like a visual of my mental state. How's everyone else doing?

When asked what the answer was to society sliding into fascism & disaster, Octavia Butler said: (from her 2020 essay “A Few Rules for Predicting the Future”)

FINALLY!

Do you post photos/video here? You should "subscribe" to this list that auto-blocks content scraping accounts that steal content and regularly post it without credit. The fewer eyes they have on them, the less power they have (and thus the more original content we'll see). bsky.app/profile/did:...

Here’s a list of accounts to follow if you love nature pics but don’t want to support horrible content-scraper accounts!

I hope one day ppl are talking about all the ways my work has aged badly. 1) that would mean ppl still care about my writing in the future 2) and also that we've continued to expand the perspectives that get to be part of the conversation and the ways of thinking about the my meaning of a story

This summer I will be supporting the Mongolian Olympic team because this is their uniform and it is a thousand times better than anything Nike has ever made.

life is a lot lately. love each other.

ok, this did work. I had tried to follow a similar guide and chrome wouldn't let me. but for chrome just add it under "site search", put the supplied url in both "url" and "shortcut", call it "google web" and then make that default

i'm about to stop playing Honkai Star Rail forever if there's no way to shut up Findie

i love the Warring States period and i didn't realize until now that FX's Shogun is basically just Sengoku fanfic. it rules. i love listening to the characters talk backstories and then gasping as i realize which historical figure they're based on

finding myself charmed by this game

We should be able to turn unused invites into disinvites now

Things I Read in January 2024

Transphobes who get mad about pronouns are weak. I speak Vietnamese. The pronoun I use for myself and the person I’m talking to or about depends on how old I am, how old they are, whether they’re a relative, whether they’re related to my mom or my dad, gender, and more. There are over 20 of them.

thinking of them, the major arcana glyphs in the proposal for tarot card disunification in Unicode (N4089) that was never approved

new threaded view has reddit vibes... i don't hate it

Heads up, Bluesky has a new update that automatically toggles off all "adult content," forcing you to re-enable it to see anything. Probably just an oversight, still annoying as hell. Check your content filtering in the moderation settings!

my toxic trait is that when i find a musical i like, i have to memorize the lyrics to every song i liked or else they will continue to play on loop in my head

ahh, finished that excruciating task. that only leaves me with all the other excruciating tasks

bluesky needs to get better at making notification digits go away on read so I don't keep getting false dopamine hits. manipulate my biochemistry more compentantly ffs

the special high of blocking people on a brand new microblogging platform

adulthood is making the choice to clear jira issues instead of playing Baldur's Gate 3

removing Star Trek: Lower Decks from streaming is homophobia

the Xitter icon is so ugly I'm finally tempted to delete that app from my phone

Mini Motorways update with the metro stations is so perfectly wired for my brain and I can't explain why

Time to move in and put some art on the walls baybeeee Fell down a DEEP Ace Attorney hole last year and played through most of the games, which led to drawing a bunch of the AA characters as if they were practicing law in the year 1990:

Just nine days left until this becomes a Baldur's Gate 3 fan account

chapel and m'benga injecting a super drug and taking out a dozen klingons in hand to hand combat is inherently ridiculous, but the part where they had their arms around each other talking about how they're going to die was the hottest thing that ever happened on strange new worlds?
