hey I just met you
and this is crazy
the ocean is a bottomless void
and the idea of an "ocean floor" is one of many comforting lies that we tell children so they will be less afraid to continue living on this planet

#dailyart 59: birb study

I love when Halloween ends and the looming jingle bells of the holidays reminds me that 2 of 4 of our family unit's parents have chosen to be estranged for dumbass reasons. And I just gotta live with that around family dinner holidays. It's weird and never ends.

is that what that fucking is? I've had a "cold" for like two weeks and haven't been able to focus. thanks for putting words to a problem.

The meme depicts Jason Momoa tagged as "acute sinusitis with brain fog" sneaking up on unsuspecting Henry Cavill tagged as "me about to finally have time to write"

It's that time of year again. 🤧

when the #WIPSnips reveals the book as a #LitRPG -- The 5th Hero is a Beast on #RoyalRoad

a young miss sits in an arm chair tilting a book to her ghostly companion, who's pulling the "arm over back of chair not quite around shoulder" move. all the portraits hung on the wall look on in excitement of this development. go for it girls!!!

IT'S NOVEMBER but I'm not ready to give up the ghost just yet!! Go for it young miss!! 💚 #spookycute #ocs

Death tarot card. the grim reaper in black gothic armour rides atop a pale horse bearing a black standard. the social classes cower in fear before him, a priest, a soldier, a king lies fallen at his horses feet. a burning city can be seen in the distance and a river of blood is flowing past. a crimson coat is trailing behind the reaper.

. Death .

Anyway, SNAP should be universal. Just like school lunches in NYC. Not everyone needs it to survive but everybody gets it, no means testing.

There should also be a lot fewer regulations on what you can buy with SNAP and discounts, not bans, on hot prepared foods.

Sweet, I found my Pumpkin King👇🎃👑

Housing Haunts Me If only getting a mortgage was as easy as opening a book.

This piece from me about how as a millennial, housing anxiety haunts me, and I can't get enough haunted house stories. WITH incredible @meowwwls.bsky.social freelance illustration; such a joy to work with and got me and this piece INSTANTLY.

A source familiar w/ internal workings at MasterCard notes the company does not plan to recruit additional call center workers for the Christmas season, as MasterCard does not expect higher call volume than usual. A resurgence of calls re censorship during the busy season would be huge strategically

Everyday they buy a new pumpkin on the way home while they're giggling.

I love this so much!

Have you seen that it's a genuinely held belief for some AI techbros that if Good!Techbro doesn't make the inevitably punishing AI Overlord, that a Bad!Techbro will do it first, and it'll be much worse?

I don't remember if I followed up this moment with the inevitable full-body effort it took to remove taloned fingers from leather gloves with holes poked into the end. #WIPSnips - The 5th Hero is a Beast on #RoyalRoad

AI can help authors beat writer’s block, says Bloomsbury chief Publisher last week reported jump in revenue in academic and professional arm thanks to AI licensing deal

What beats writers block is not treating your body like a factory. What beats writers block is healthcare. What beats writers block is gardening, & rest, & food, & companionship, & reading, & leisure, & anti-capitalism—but of course that’s not a very profitable thing to write, & won’t sell LLMs.

several people living in my head and they’re all grabbing my heart and eyeballs and other such organs and wringing em out like a washcloth

somehow I have AI bros following me so just a QUICK reminder I do not play that game, fuck all the way off with your AI slop. I do everything with my brain, and I'm happy to continue to utilize my "muscles" to draw and write.

Even if my body is in pain. :)
