Our panel Prose, Poetry, and Play: Game Design as a Literary Practice at #AWP26 was amazing yesterday, with brilliant insights from @natmesnard.bsky.social @sharangbiswas.bsky.social @brigittewinter.bsky.social @nirele.bsky.social @davering.bsky.social! If you attended, let us know your takeaways ✨
at this point i feel like 80% of americans are aware of this and the nonsense unfolding is partly because we reached a point where there's no plausible "debate" anymore, and fossil fuel companies etc. don't want to die out

So this post broke containment and lost a little of the context when it did but Bikini Kill are the ones donating to TCP, not Bandcamp. We generally choose a different org or mutual aid fund to support on Bandcamp Fridays and this is what we chose this month.
If anyone is up for boosting, Bandcamp is holding a fundraiser for the Trans Continental Pipeline to help trans people escape from Kansas!

I made this to express my feelings
I am old enough to remember how under Bush, “elite” was “anyone who lived in a coastal state and had ever ordered anything at Starbucks” and “the working class” was hereditary landowners in Montana whose vote counts for 4x a California voter’s.
“Enshitification” did not emerge because customer satisfaction is soaring. It’s fucking Ferngully out here and we’re little jungle critters chased into smaller and smaller pens of detached territory by malevolent bulldozers of consumption.
I’m glad someone said this to his face and more of these CEOs need to hear it: If the conversation around tech seems negative now it’s because you, your products, and what they’re doing to our society fucking sucks. You stopped making optimistic technology and unleashed MechaHitler the job killer.
The ideological incoherence here is really quite staggering.
Ah didn't see the other thread. Good hunting!
(Possible unwanted advice but: if the rest of the chair is still good, you can actually get just a replacement hydraulic cylinder for really not a lot compared to a whole new chair!)
The single most important thing a man can do to be an ally is give his woman friends permission to give dudes at the bar his number so when they call he can angrily say that's not funny because she died 15 years ago that very night
Happy Friday! 👻

Im pretty sure the USPS is the government service staffed predominantly by black folks.
These two pieces of information are assuredly unrelated.
every day this becomes more true
Threads thread: thriller_instinct 3d Is it okay to bully 40 and 50 year olds who are on social media just for being on it, cuz like why are you here - 254 Q 3.1K G 28 746 corporateash 18h ••• My ICQ UIN is 7231680. That number is burned into my consciousness. I inadvertently learned that you could see private conversations in public chat rooms when using Telnet instead of a browser on GeoCities. I can tell you the difference in audible dial-up handshakes between 1200, 2400, 14.4 kbps modems. I needed a edu email address to join Facebook after my university was admitted. We were here at the beginning. We made social media. You wouldn't be in my Top 8. I have usernames older than you. 852 Q62 G6 72
“I have usernames older than you.”.
Holy shit

Anyway my mother has finally figured out that there is a difference between "waste not want not" and the amount of food we were ACTIVELY wasting in the spoilage from our 40-year-old refrigerator
Anyway, victory, we now have a freezer that actually freezes!
the rubber gasket on the side of the previous refrigerator and freezer, installed during the actual god damn Reagan administration, and was --actively liquefying-- when my sister finally persuaded my mother that no really, it's busted
The Moving of the Furniture created fresh opportunities for our very old, very miserable asshole cat to pee in all of his favorite places and fam let me tell you the degree to which i am so done with this part of having an old man cat with no regard for decency
(No cat advice please, just venting!)
(on my mother's insistence, I had to move basically every piece of furniture in three different rooms to clear a path from our horrible front entrance to the kitchen, despite my personal conviction they'd want to use the kitchen door, conveniently located in our actual kitchen! Weird, right???)
One major bullet point on my seemingly endless list of Things that Need Doing finally got dealt with!! We at long last finally have a new and beautiful refrigerator!!
In related news: every bone in my body is incredibly grumpy and so!! am!! I!!
