It’s #TransAwarenessWeek, so be aware that I am that weird-horror baddie and buy my book!

Thanks CHARIOT we too are delighted that this definitely safe book will be reproduced thousands of times and distributed widely to a waiting audience, this will only have good results

What I'm listening to today: "Scandinavia", Billy Woods, ELUCID and The Alchemist "Armand Hammer". Woods and clique have this amazing idiom of slowed-down, format-breaking rap music and this is the second all-timer album they've dropped this year armandhammer.bandcamp.com/track/scandi...

my new theory is that Jeffrey Epstein read Lolita, actually understood it, and killed himself.

Happy Partially Muscled Skeleton Day to all who celebrate. Be sure to let all your screams out and then disappear.

The cyclosa spider - famed for their elaborate web decorations, which are barely understood - has been found in Peru & the Philippines to weave scarecrows of itself. They can be so elaborate that they initially fooled the biologists who study them. One called it 'a theatre of deception.'

Have y'all ever seen a Nightjar? They are found everywhere but Antarctica. This is what is flying around out there when you are asleep. Their super-wide mouths open to around 120 degrees. As in more than a right angle.

fascination with kitchencels led us to talk about the modern iteration of incel communities and how they punish themselves by excluding enjoyment from simple things like eating food

We all learn from a young age that there’s enough food for everyone but millions of people starve anyway, that millions die from diseases for which cheap medicines exist, that there are many more houses than houseless, and so we learn exactly how much our lives are worth if we’re ever in the way.

My middle name of the month comes from the Marabou Stork, who is undoubtedly the vulture of storks. This scuzzy fucker is almost as tall as you are and has a 8.5 ft wingspan. It eats carrion and looks crazy and has a ballsack dangling under its chin. youtu.be/JB_tSdnFa5o?...

Even winning this year’s Halloween costume prize couldn’t ease Carol’s existential ennui. “Another October, another ghost, another shiny prize. Maybe a pig’s ear would cheer me. Ah nuts, who am I kidding.”

damning thread on how the IDF's propaganda arm is scraping 3D assets intended for things like games, films, or architectural purposes and kitbashing together supposed hamas bunkers and iranian nuclear sites. a genocide campaign propped up in part by someone's nephew who got too into blender.

I reviewed DEAD MAIL, a frankly astounding little thriller about loneliness, music, analog systems, and the exploitation of Black musicians by their white managers and collaborators. www.patreon.com/posts/140799...
