These seats at the 7 PM MALARKEY BOOKS READING AT AREPI could be yours 🙂

The two types of Republican either accuse you of having TDS or believes he has been anointed by God to trigger Armaggedon.

Happy #womeninhorrormonth

I dont know if I'll make it this year, but it's a fun con for horror and weird fic folks!

This is how I view the emphasis on "beauty and truth"

This is a threat

Just got back from an AI in the Arts conference more convinced than ever that AI is an existential threat to tech workers but not really for culture workers. Not even the presenter could think of an AI use for a museum besides outlining a marketting plan or building a chatbot for customers.

i think it would be cool if enya came out of her castle, recorded exactly one note-perfect 25 minute hardcore LP, and immediately secluded herself again

Look I get it reviewing Dimes Square books are hilarious but there are so many good indie books going unreviewed

The Scratch collective exists because we believe art matters, that artists matter, and that those who would have us believe otherwise—believe in "content" alone—are worth fighting head-on. My thanks to everyone who spread the word or shared kind ones of their own. Much more to come. talkscratch.com

He's a boomer who bet wrong on sustainability based on info he had in the 80s resentfully holding on to that old derision

It's revealing but not explanatory that almost all of his supporters think he's the erfect man

Today is International Sex Workers’ Rights Day, a time to support and uplift sex workers everywhere—and a particularly good day to throw some money to the United Brothel Workers in Nevada who were illegally terminated after their historic union drive with CWA went public! ☂️

Guest Post: Hal Schrieve on the Fight to Fund NYC Libraries The Seven Stories author and librarian makes the case for prioritizing library funding

If you have three minutes and live in NYC, you should read this about our public libraries. sevenstories.substack.com/p/guest-post...

LLMs as contrast dye for where resources are missing.

Personally the thing that's driving me craziest about Threads is how they re-imagine the early 00s pop-punk scene as a bunch of wholesome, silly white boys who started bands in their garages and accidentally skyrocketed to fame.

I don't anticipate it being a major illness but after thinking about it I decided I just.... didn't want to be sick all over Baltimore

I have come down with a cold. I WILL NOT be at AWP

Yeah yeah yeah all matter trends towards decay, now do you want to build a garden or cry all day about the sun going out?

No, you're right, everything sucks. We should just watch sports.

It’s funny if you call PayPal or visa lines and bring this up asking why they claim “adult illustrations” is against their regulations but betting on the death of kids is totally fine. They don’t have an answer.

In fact yall should call them at least once a day with this :)

Today should be your 38th birthday.. When you lose your son you lose more than a child you lose a piece of your heart and your joy. Life is forever altered, and nothing can ever fill that space. Yet in my soul, he remains, my precious boy, forever loved. His laughten, his smile, and his love are woven into who lam. My love for him will never fade. You are my pride and my joy you've made a change that cannot be broken. Alex Pretti stands next to a park sign in the desert for the chimney rock trail

Alex Pretti’s mom remembers him on his birthday. He should have turned 38 today but two federal agents shot and killed him.
