worth remembering, David Lynch directed “fix your hearts or die” specifically at transphobes. it wasn’t a generic “no mean people allowed” statement, it was said by his Twin Peaks character in defense of a trans woman he cared for and deeply respected.

I'm okay, I just have some complications from my fall that weren't getting better and I was told I needed to go get things checked out again ASAP

I had to make a return trip to hospital today, and somehow managed to navigate through A&E in less than an hour. Triage, testing, and diagnosis (plus a long term care plan)

Though we need to bring back snubbull. I don't understand how the best pokemon ever created can consistently be so criminally underused

A travesty

I would not recommend obliterating your ankle (and achilles). It is not a fun time. BUT being able to play Pokopia in bed all day as part of my mandated bedrest is a nice little side effect

It's a very charming little game. I've already sunk a lot of hours into it, and it's a lot of fun to play solo or with friends

Goodnight my friends. Leave a kind comment for our fellow travelers if you are so inclined.

"Artists peak at 30", "30 under 30", "by 30 you should" ridiculous. Arts industries capital craves young people to exploit and burn out. It doesn't want older artists thriving and guiding the young. It also doesn't want artists to exist. Stop letting cannibals tell you you only matter on a plate.

of course you're not self-absorbed for hoping something you put lots of effort into is liked by others. You created it. Your brain produced that glorious sauce. That is no small thing. Got, fucko? It also doesn't invalidate your efforts if it doesn't magically pop off either. Keep swinging that axe.

Resist ‘dangerous and socially unacceptable’ age checks for social media, scientists warn Computer scientists are campaigning against the global march toward age checks online.

Over 400 scientists have signed a letter calling for a moratorium on the deployment of age-verification technologies. The letter suggests the widespread deployment of untested AV tech is making the internet less safe.

There are those a lot more well-read than me who can speak on these travesties, but intersectionality is the key. Climate change IS an anti-AI issue IS a capitalism issue IS an anti-war issue IS a human rights issue. To fix one, one must fix the foundational structures they belong to.

My sweet boy turned eight today

a sombre morning for british columnists as they move their "The electorate has spoken, we must listen" articles to the recycling bin and upload their "the greens victory shows just how far the west has fallen" articles instead

obviously today is a huge embarrassment for Matt Goodwin and for Reform, which is something that we absolutely ought to celebrate, but we must also remember it's a huge embarrassment for Morgan McSweeney and Maurice Glasman and all the Blue Labour weirdos, and that's important to celebrate too :)

Literal hand porn *sage nod*

As always, supporting me helps tremendously and there’s a bunch of sketches up on patreon.com/only_jaws

I know it’s difficult right now, but I insist that you seek and enjoy beautiful things, even if it seems frivolous or irresponsible in the face of overwhelming horror. I want you to feed yourself artistically, spiritually, and literally, because you can’t Do The Work when you’re starving.

I've written up a brief script for anyone who wants to call or write your representatives regarding this bill (yes, even the ones you think won't care). PLEASE DO THIS IF YOU ARE ABLE. This bill *cannot* pass.

You can find your representatives here: www.congress.gov/members/find...

stop calling us nazis just because we are invalidating IDs and rounding people up based on their skin color and putting them in concentration camps and sending them off to foreign gulags and using all that nazi imagery and banning books and dont forget about all the pedophilia. so just stop alright

oh simple thing

I wish the New York Times hated rich pedophiles as much as they hate trans kids.

One of my least favorite things around AI in video games is when these LLM idiots try to say that "AI has been in video games for decades," as if the routines that tell ghosts to chase Pac-Man are exactly the same as the chat bot claiming there are nine Rs in strawberry.

Where the light source comes from is none of my business

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland.

And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

made fan art for my favourite horror movie

Normalize laughing derisively in men's faces when they deserve it.

He did also describe me as "the youth of today" not once, but twice. I'm thirty-three. Am I considered The Youth™️? Am I not just a regular adult woman now?

He did definitely use it as a jab, so I assume it's a revised version of older assholes calling everyone younger than them a millennial

I told a Reform canvasser I wasn't interested in his hateful bullshit and to get off my drive, so he made a snide "tolerant left" comment and told me I'd be sorry/embarrassed when they're elected

I'm a disabled queer woman! Of course I'm going to be sorry if Reform come into power!

nothing in the world like olympic figure skating something completely fuckshit happens every time
