“he is not your long lost love. he is a fart in the wind and you still think about him him because YOURE a good person with a big heart” - my best friend

incredibly excited to announce my work was on display at Studio 525 in New York as part of an open to the public Comic Con event for “Controlled, Altered, Deleted: the VisionQuest Collection” and I still can’t believe this is real

i nonbinaried so hard that baristas don’t even say “ma’am” anymore they just say “my friend”

bro it turns out to manage my adhd all i needed was a will to live, therapy, meds, project management, structure, and hiring an assistant

look at the cute festival branding i made for this metal fest sponsored by an ice cream company!!!!!!!!!! all hand lettered and drawn in procreate 🖤

hanging out with people in their 70s makes me feel like a celebrity. Yes I will lift that case of water for you. You think I can still learn to play guitar because I’m young??? Just getting people around me that can see the potential of life when I’m over here thinking I’ve said goodbye to my youth

If you see me say "oof" and flash red, it's because I took damage from remembering that mean thing you said about me one time

"If everyone jumped off a bridge, would you?" Yeah, of course. It would be fine: everyone else would cushion my fall.

Meta is so unbelievably evil. They make a technology primarily designed to enable abuse, harassment and privacy violations, but also embed real disability aids. The tactic now is to use an entire community as human shields to defend against criticisms www.engadget.com/2236054/meta...

the freelancer life is wild bc yes i’m successful yes i have multiple clients i love but you really have to get used to having a shit ton of money and not spending it and then having negative accounts and maxed out credit cards with 10 upcoming clients booked and a prayer

my parents have stopped asking when i’ll get married and have kids and instead ask when i’m gonna buy a house which is gender affirming but still too much commitment for my lifestyle

saw an ex at a party and they came up to the person next to me going through a breakup and loudly said “and you must be hoping to feel their sweet embrace again, the way sapphics often do” BRO YOU LITERALLY TREATED ME SO MEAN AND JUST WANT MY BODY TO FUCK. anyway i said nothing and left the party.

i’ve never been treated so disrespectful in my LIFE. ended shit bc they never wanted to officially date me bc i was white and when i said i want more than just hookups they turned over and started masterbating next to me bc i wouldn’t fuck them. SO GROSS. should have left then too.

Over on Whatever today, I'm talking about "AI" and creativity and how, when it comes to learning creative skills, Generative "AI" is rather like the old "Guitar Hero" game, i.e., a really fun way not to actually learn how to do a creative thing: whatever.scalzi.com/2026/08/06/g...

i haven’t made food at home like from scratch in years but i want to start trying again. I was craving baked oatmeal and couldn’t find a place that served it and i didn’t have some of the ingredients and subbed out others and used every nut and fruit i had

my bestie doesn’t use a ring camera they just are kind to the wasps on their front porch and the wasps have memory enough to be kind to all their friends and visitors but chase all the door to door solicitors and just like maybe if we were kinder to nature it would be kind to us in turn

my increased use of bluesky directly inverse correlates with me locking myself out of all other social media with a vpn but like it’s so nice and lovely here and i don’t feel a need to stay longer than intended

You're going to get left behind if you don't use Al." Leave me then. Leave me with my critical thinking skills, my ability to read and write long- form, and books without needing Al summaries.

dating in your thirties is wild because all the lovers are disillusioned and divorced and everyone treats it like we’re retired but like we have our whole lives ahead of us of us??????????

they were talking so much shit about Bluesky and San Francisco, and I get on here and it’s posts from my actual friends and I am not addicted to it and it’s actually the highlight of my social media experience
