solidarity with LA. fuck ICE.

Happy pride to me and to you and to the bisexual bats and the gay giraffes and the lesbian albatrosses, and the trans fish and everybody else. Happy pride.

Just a reminder that if you're queer you don't have to pay rent or go to work this month

TIL more people work in American higher ed than at US farms paulkrugman.substack.com/p/america-tu...

strongly of the view that using chatgpt is scab behaviour and resisting it is a workers’ rights issue

new gender neutral greeting just dropped

Once again begging media reports to get the math right. For example, cutting a $5M five-year grant in year 4 isn't saving $1M, but it is wasting the $4M already spent. Stop letting this administration get away with so many lies.

“I asked ChatGPT” well I asked the three Fates and the one with the scissors got very agitated when I told her you were using your one precious life thread talking to that cursed thing

@mtgjoed.itch.io is gonna be debuting Batman Vengeance at #SGDQ2025!!!

"why not use [language model] for this" well you see I take some amount of pride in having stuff to say that can't be predicted by a statistical estimate

Just bums me out when people advocate for the Plagiarism Machine That Lies. Announcing to the world that you like abdicating your brain to the world's shittiest machine. Have an ounce of self-respect

This is an incredibly well-done article about the heartbreaking reality of abortion bans. I'm devastated for the Ballises, and for everyone else who ends up in situations like this because of Republican malice. www.eastidahonews.com/2025/04/unde...

Watching everything I've been involved in for my entire professional career be dismantled by a bunch of repugnant assholes who have never done a thing for the public good has been uniquely miserable.

AOC: I was watching earlier today on TV, someone was saying, “Why are AOC and Bernie going to Idaho?” I’ll give you one simple answer: It’s because you matter

I unironically stan Burlap & Barrel and I have a big order coming Monday

I'm 18. The economy enters a once-in-a-century recession. A Republican president is responsible. I'm 29. There is once-in-a-century pandemic that leads to a once-in-century-recession. A Republican is responsible. I'm 35. Tarriffs trigger a once-in-a-century recession. A Republican is responsible.

Everything is very stupid. And we're all really tired.

Grasses used in modern American landscaping are generally non-native water hogs that eliminate biodiversity and don't benefit anything. Tear it out! Plant something else! Grow food!

how it feels lately doing my little tasks & confronting my minor responsibilities

Anyone else feeling deeply unprepared for the level of adult decisions you're making in the face of *all this* lately?

Same, little pepper, same

My cat spent three days at the emergency vet after a friend brought over a bouquet with lilies and she got into them, we now have a very strict floral arrangement policy in my house. The danger of lilies is no fucking joke.

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

I tried to make an apple pie with a recipe I got from Carl Sagan and it's taking forever

If you're a Democrat praising Reagan....look, I don't know how else to say this but you're actually a Republican then.

how we holding up chat

Big "they did surgery on a grape" vibes from this headline

people who say “why do we need [fine arts, humanities degrees, mid-budget films] when they don’t make a ton of money?” are insufferable. why do we need chrysanthemums? why do we need bonfires or baleen whales or the color blue? we just do. we just do.

it's because they are the party of obsession with the genitals of children. because they think they deserve access to them and control over them. because they are a political alignment of pedophiles and people who are dedicated to protecting pedophiles

If you could use a little brightness in your day, I recommend spending some time with sled dog MUPPY. I’m genuinely obsessed with her. She is an icon. She is a legend. Her legs are 4 inches long.

Magic card of the day, because I finally remembered. One of the cool things about getting more familiar with Magic has been learning to recognize artists, and when I saw this I thought, "oh that's gotta be Rebecca Guay." I love this art.
