Scream 7 was fun but there's a gapingly large plot hole that upsets me because of what the alternative offered.

Update: I did.

Context: they are institution branded 🤔

Do I wear sweatpants to work today or nah.

not nearly enough posts on my feed about browt :/

I don’t understand the critical response to markiplier’s iron lung movie. Sure, it wasn’t spectacular, but it was a decent enough movie and a surprisingly good performance.

for anyone wondering -- I'm aiming to make some video-based work using The Sims for a project set between the years 2008-2012, and can only get The Sims 2 for PC WOMP WOMP.

Looking for recs: I need a PC that's cheap, reliable, and can run some basic games + video software like OBS. Laptop would be cool but a desktop likely better + cheaper (and I already have a monitor I can use for it). I've been a total Apple fiend since...middle school so any help appreciated!

The mechanical Turk strikes again.

Also these are watercolor monotypes on cotton for anyone wondering, and I utilized images sent to me consensually alongside imagery from medieval bestiaries.

It happened during trump part 1, then throughout Covid, and has now returned. 3 nickels!

Discovered I have a subconscious response to global instability; making horny monster art ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

the way Giorno's theme hit me when I saw this image

Swelling rage

me, having already done it for 4 other students since 2023, googling "what does a thesis chair do" to make sure I don't mess up.

CLOSE THEM. LET THEM GO. FREE THEM FROM THE TYRANNY OF YOUR IMPRISONMENT.

my healthy trait is occasionally closing my browser and letting all the tabs + windows just go away into the ether. if it was truly meant to be, they would come back to my tabs.

if anything, anime girl figurines predate and are possibly ancestral to warhammer minis. just look at all these mikus

Nightmares are dreams too 😭😭😭 but yes I am in so many ways. I have students graduating this semester that I’ve taught since their first year for the first time and it’s just AHH!

students I taught in grad school are getting married and having kids and I'm over here eating Chinese take out and wondering if I'll sleep in tomorrow

I want an Indiana Jones prequel but it’s just him in grad school doing maybe 3 weeks of field work but otherwise grading papers as a TA and writing his dissertation.

I'm finalizing some documents for work and in trying to remember the name @vluisasantiago.bsky.social's original Slender Man project I googled "Fred Slenderman".

I smell a sequel!

so then what do we do when our institutions (and colleagues) keep pushing the technology as a form of innovation? how do we push back against GenAI in collegial ways? is there such a thing? is this even a thing I should be asking in such a public space? ƪ(‾ε‾“)ʃ

annunciation, by terrifying pink thing 6 track album

my current strategy for sharing my work has been doing things silently and not telling anyone which believe it or not doesn't work, so here's the debut EP from my cryptid electro-ska project Terrifying Pink Thing that I released on Dec 5 please consider checking it out.

anyways send good vibes that my recent work in Slender Man Studies™️ is enough to convince my peers and admin that I should stay employed for the foreseeable future

my institution has a reappointment process for pre-tenure faculty that's kind of like a Diet Tenure Application™️ which really means instead of 1 panic-stricken anxiety crunch that I haven't done enough, I get 3 panic-stricken anxiety crunches that I haven't done enough spread across 7 years.
