Thank you for writing this! It's inspired me to play with Strudel and it's so much fun!! 🎶🎧🥁 This feels like such a cool way to produce music; I'd love to read any other insights you have about it that you'd want to share~
Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist
Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

#commission for @ruinousdala.bsky.social !!
Critical thinking is under serious threat from large language models/AI. Uni administrators are too prone to accept tech hype! (plus it can be wrong, steals IP, has devasting environment/energy impacts). @jessicacalarco.com made a great one-pager I share with students (plus effective model of comms)
in case you've never seen it, this is Roger Ebert on The Mummy
"Messy lesbians, toxic power dynamics, giant robots fighting eldritch horrors, oppression, and hard choices."
Impressions of Isabelle Ruebsaat's Girl Frame, with some insights from the designer herself.
I am staying off Bluesky but I understand that it's because it's the world and these evil people and no fucking protagonists
No protagonist is coming.
Nobody is going to show up and save us. Superheroes aren't real. Chosen ones aren't real. We are it, baby,

congrats to @crystalwilki.bsky.social's memoir with recipes, Praisesong for the Kitchen Ghosts, having been added to the exhibits at Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History & Culture. 🥰
As we celebrate women's international day, reminder that trans women are women too and absolutely are included
Women are hot
Deleted the post where I called this "chemical warfare" because a reader pointed out that that is a specific thing with a specific definition, and that seems fair to me.
I'll just call this catastrophically evil.
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! The only way this could be funnier is if the woman in the clip is Irish American. Oh, you wanted to ruin this country and then when everything went to ****, skip back to your motherland for some relaxation? Nah, bitch. They hate you there too!
Last November, Priyanka Bansal reported on the LGBTQ+ mutual aid groups fighting food insecurity across the country:
1910 Women could wear pants 1920 White women could vote 1963 Women gained equal paid rights (sort of) 1965 Black women could vote 19 69 Women were allowed to initiate divorce 1972 Women could get birth control, without a man 1973 Women could choose to get an abortion, legally 1974 Women could buy a home, without a man 1988 Women could own their own business, without Nomesticial protection agains 2022 Women lost the constitutional right to abortion
Strong reminder: women have not been independent for as long as some folks would like you to believe. We’ve lost rights that we never should have lost.
For personal reasons, this is meaningful to me. www.yahoo.com/news/article...
There's no group I most like seeing block me than folks suffering White fragility. Look, if you are White and you can't handle when people discuss issues tied to Whiteness or racial sociopolitical dynamics unless they make it pleasing to your ear? I'm not a safe space for you. You will get hurt.

When someone says “I really like this” movie / TV show / book / video games etc, I’m intrigued by the impulse some folks have to waddle into their replies and say “oh, but EYE didn’t like it.”
What is that impulse? What’s its intention / social function?
this made me cackle all the way through
Sometimes you just think "the bee girl from MySims was cute" and then do a finished illustration of Roxie Road from MySims for the Wii.
