Data scraping is so soothing

@unormal.bsky.social new idea for your mech game

Europe must step up for world-historical geopolitical reasons, but also because of Fuck These Guys reasons.

I love game design so much

Once again: I am desperately looking for small-scale travel funding to support artists attending a scientific/outreach/symposium event in Europe this Summer. If you know of any orgs/funding calls/charities etc that could support this, let me know!

For the record, do I think a one-day boycott is going to make much of an economic impact? No. Do I think that a sort of "Baby's First Boycott," performative though it is, might be useful to make some folks aware of the impact of their economic power, and how it might be wielded politically? Maybe.

defy the norm. get even stranger. NO SURRENDER

This hasn’t happened but capitulation from a few makes it more, not less, likely. I’ll also note that in the last couple of weeks the feds have fired a bunch of apolitical scientists, so this notion that capitulating will protect us is bunk. They are coming for everyone.

Work like @jhereia.bsky.social et al's new Trans Digital Rights report+recommendations (which I was honored to review! doi.org/10.18130/m2z...) & the US Trans Survey (last: 2022, 2015; ustranssurvey.org) are critical in pushing back erasure+anecdotal understandings, amid shit like this CDC data harm

bunch of employees who work at the government facility where they keep ET wet freaking out because they need five things for the email but all they did last week was spray water on ET

Meta's $100 *billion* spend to facilitate remote business meetings baffles me. We already have a thriving tool for remote business meetings, Eve Online.

the important thing to know about my ceramics practice is that unlike everything else in my life, I approach this with a deep unseriousness. fish guy with a little dick, 2024

THE BUNNY PAPER HAS BEEN PUBLISHED!! www.cambridge.org/core/journal... #linguistics 🐦

Our paper on convergent evolution of land crabs is out in its final final form. The journal didn't pick my image as the cover, so I'm sharing it here because it must be seen! academic.oup.com/sysbio/artic... 🦀🦑🧪

I feel seen by my GPT question summaries. Code, code, solarpunk farm equipment, code, math, nordic witchcraft, code, gnostics, code, bacon

Practicing my Balatro Juicing™️ in my HTML class

Stop calling them “liberal bubbles” and start calling them “liberal fortresses” Practice talking about our strength and not our weakness

6? I’m frequently grouchy about code, but also I try to keep an encouraging art teacher vibe whenever people are trying new things or uncertain

i like being an artist because i have a lot of stupid ideas. then i can turn them into reality and inflict them on everyone else

I just want to paint big weird color paintings

Suddenly, out of nowhere, a declassified World War II-era CIA guide to sabotaging fascism in the workplace has become one of the most popular free ebooks on the internet: www.404media.co/declassified...

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

I’m done dating humans. I’ve got a better idea—

Help help, my work group is trying to implement “key results” aka numerical things about our output we can graph. But we make r&d play prototypes (basically game jam every day, within boundaries). So the suggested metrics…need some pushback. Anyone got benevolent (or harmless) metrics for R&D?
