Every artist I know is really struggling right now. Financially, emotionally, their confidence, in general. If you like an artist's work, support them any way you can. Buying their stuff or subscribing to their Patreon is great, but words of encouragement are also incredibly helpful.

I want to talk about my move from Substack to Ghost for a second, and what it's been like working with a nonprofit tech company that actually lives its values. Especially if you're a writer still on Subtack, please read. 1/x First of all, about the org: They are a nonprofit, I just met employee +

People in the EU are now putting up stickers that read, “Elon Musk is attacking the European Union. Boycott Tesla,” and “Elon, stay away from the EU.” These stickers, featuring EU flags and a link to StopElon.eu, appear on public EV chargers and other visible spots.

okay but every fucking company that dropped anything remotely "DEI" so fast without any actual impetus to do so, preemptively for laws that were never going to be upheld because they weren't constitutional, needs to be fucking dragged into the street and stomped on forever

lrskeet: there’s a story that i understand to be apocryphal, told to underscore the disastrous development of ffxv: that over halfway through, nomura saw the les mis film and had grand ideas about scrapping everything so far and restarting it as a musical…

Both his ENG and JP voice actors are well known for their singing and G’raha canonically sings, the fact that this hasn’t happened yet makes me feel crazy

Just received this incredibly bleak ad for a clothing company in my junk mail.

Dude replies to shit like this all the time, kvetching about DEI, black people, gays, etc, and when you push him in it, he plays dumb and does a version of the "I'm just a liberal asking questions" routine before going on to defend Grimes. I do not buy Udon books anymore.

What if the gay agenda is collecting crafting hobbies.

Oh my god, if this works it would redeem the whole damn week.

Someone take my phone away I want to earnestly post shit like love is the only thing that matters

Did you know that the USPS delivers 44% of the world's mail and is a critical part of our infrastructure? #weloveusps
