The cover of MAKE ME BETTER features a feminine figure in the middle of a series of distorted concentric rings. The field is black, and the lettering, figure, and rings are all in bright hypercolor. Will Staehle is the artist who created this and I would die in battle for him

MAKE ME BETTER is my forthcoming novel about the horrors of community. It is about cults, wellness, control, and the things we will do to escape grief.

there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for

All of this stuff is fundamentally about the erasure of consent. At the core of these products is the assertion that your very existence is a tacit agreement to feed the machine.

truly depressing to excitedly go back to school only to end up listening to so many classmates' answers contain "oh when I asked [insert any AI program]..."

I swear we could have so many nice things right now instead.

Platner has really wasted a lot of time that could have been used to find a better candidate and that's frustrating

About: The Trans Rights Readathon is an annual call to action to readers and book lovers in support of Trans Day of Visibility (TDOV) on March 31st. How to participate: read and uplift books written by and/or featuring trans, nonbinary, 2Spirit, and gender-nonconforming authors and characters. Donate and fundraise for trans aid organizations in your community.

#TransRightsReadathon begins soon. It's a decentralized event, which means you don't have to sign up or do anything in particular, you just have to love trans people and trans books. Here's what I'm doing this year 🧵

Luigi cocking a gun: “Okey-dokey.”

I think they might have better luck spending two thousand dollars holding a press conference where they detail who made the key decisions to collaborate with the Trump administration, how and when they were fired, and explaining what would stop that from happening again.

The work is not "Hispanic". The "Hispanic"ness of the laborers is not relevant to how they do the work, or why the "we" in this quote - the non-Hispanic residents of the town, presumably - depend on them.

What it means is cheap labor. It means people made precarious so they can't ask for more.

yes, please come sit next to me lol i get all the vibes that he's always trying so hard to be some version of a person he's put on a pedal stool that like who is he really-- and i don't care for the answer

Small corners of the old wacky internet remain and I'm here for it.

Also, disgraced and disgraceful Texas Rep. Tony Gonzalez said this: "I've asked God to forgive me, which he has."

God could not be reached for comment.

Beef Season Two Follows a Gen Z-vs.-Millennial Couple-Off The trailer for ‘Beef’ season two teases a bigger, starrier show. Instead of focusing on two individuals, this season takes on intergenerational couple-on-couple crime with a star-filled cast.

"I used to believe, as I was taught, that literacy was primarily about decoding text. But watching how people actually learn and think has convinced me that literacy is about something deeper: the capacity to construct and navigate environments where understanding becomes possible."

Article screenshot: Others are drowning, attempting sustained thought in environments engineered to prevent it. They sit with laptops open, seven tabs competing for attention, notifications sliding in from three different apps, phones vibrating every few minutes. They’re trying to read serious material while fighting a losing battle against behavioural psychology weaponised at scale. They believe their inability to focus is a personal failure rather than a design problem. They don’t realise they’re trying to think in a space optimised to prevent thinking.

I have worried about what I've seen as my own decreased ability to focus but this article has really shifted my thinking. It's so so interesting. aeon.co/essays/what-...

quickly open up "oh, wait let me look into that". so many people don't want to think" or be curious they want to be fed the thing immediately and then carry that as all they need. i don't know how much is based on needing immediate satisfaction now but even people i use to enjoy talking to now blerg

i've been talking about this so much for a while. my entire education from the beginning had this at its core. it's how the adults i found interesting and trusted in my life behaved. i'm always asking ??? not in a challenging way just in a curious and it naturally opens so many lanes and can

It's going to be a firehose of hatred and ignorance and outright lies towards and about black women. How cis black women won't "let black men lead." How trans black women are "destroying the black family." Hell, with AI, they don't even have to hire sellouts. They'll simply steal our faces from us.
