Bots enroll in Summer session courses, then get dropped for non-payment of fees, leading course sections they were enrolled in to be cancelled out from under the actual students enrolled in them due to low-enrollment. 😡

Wow, @popheist.com is 6 months old today! To celebrate, we are running a sale / membership drive — so more of y'all can get in on the action and support worker-owned media about pop culture. We are a small operation, but we've accomplished a lot. We want to do more! popheist.com/products

I probably won’t apply because I’ll have a new baby! But I hope we can all go this year! And you should apply if you can, it’s a great show!

So, this Unbound/Boundless fiasco. I was going to be polite about it, but after this morning’s email: no

weird that EA's executives are so bad at their job that they keep having to cancel things and fail after fail don't you think they look tired?

My reward for having a good focus day is being light-headed and wobbly at 3pm because I forgot to eat 🙃 (I'm eating now)

Not to be outdone by Witch of Mercury, I see GQuX got it's own "Hey hold up, don't forget these kids are playing with the brutal meat grinders of war" moment.

There is no such thing as simple, binary "biological sex" Scientists have an ethical duty to speak up about the true complexity of sex and gender Every biologist and professional society staying silent on this is complicent in allowing fascism to commit trans genocide

Well it finally happened. Someone took my art, fed it into AI, and is selling a shitty facsimile of it. I’m so tired. Worse yet my painting still hasn’t sold. So just feeling super shitty right now
