This is yet more of the shit that traps people into a cycle of epistemic & hermeneutic injustice and deception— frameworks where people don't know what they think they know and can't trust the mechanisms that are supposed to help them gain knowledge. Not only that, but now they have false CERTAINTY…

I don't understand why every time James Talarico texts me, it's from a different number. Is he . . . on the run? Are these burner phones? ARE YOU OKAY JAMES

Today is my birthday and I'd love if people would share my artwork 🥰🖤

Today is International Pronouns Day. Using someone's correct pronouns is an important part of respecting their identity and helping everyone feel included. At NION, we believe in respecting and celebrating people's individual identities, and treating others as we would wish to be treated 🩷

Last month we lost our jobs. This month we made new ones. Introducing X BUTTON: an independent gaming network from three ex-IGN employees. A new weekly Nintendo podcast! A new weekly video game podcast! And that’s just the start, but we can’t do it without your help! www.patreon.com/cw/XButtonShow

If It’s Not One Thing… If it's not one thing, then it's a bunch of things. I know that's not how the saying usually goes, but I think mine is more accurate. Today especially has been a day like that -- I've been going from pillar to post all day, and I still have more to do, including putting…

SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.

I have a million thoughts about this, including the invisible labor women have performed for generations. That said, I'm the weirdo that will invite a dozen people over for a multi-course dinner with a couple days' notice, & I absolutely have too many jobs. But I hate the term "entertaining."

In case you missed it last night: we are seeing reports all over the country of immigration surges and state violence. If you need whistles for your community, we will send you 100-3000 3d printed for free, and we will love doing it. 3dwhistles.com

Getting an education in America shouldn’t mean a lifetime of debt. In the Senate, I’ll fight for tuition-free public college & trade school programs, canceling student debt & higher teacher wages. Volunteer for our people-powered campaign: AngieNixon.com/volunteer #AngieForFlorida

we fucking loved it, even when there was basically nothing on it, and let me tell you something else: we loved it because of human connection, human diversity, human creativity. WE DON'T NEED A SINGLE THING ANY OF THESE COMEMIERDAS HAVE MADE AND TRIED TO SELL US IN ORDER TO HAVE A GREAT INTERNET.

It's the season for Autumn Spice! That's right, four spicy romance & romantasy authors in one place, join us on Friday the 13th (November) at Pandemonium Books for an evening of smutty literary shenanigans with me, Lauren Burka, May Fuhrst, and MJ Etkind and our books!

Vended 2 events this weekend and only made $175. Which barely covers the booth fee for the 1st event. Im in dire need of funds for past due bills. If you see anything in my booth photos that is not already online let me know and I can add it. www.otherworldmenagerie.com ko-fi.com/otherworldme...

I wrote a little piece about the ongoing battle for the soul of software as a craft, where we've been, and where I hope we're going

So apropos of nothing in particular, let’s talk about media tie-in novel pay vs. original work pay, shall we? Let’s say you write a novel. It’s set in your own world, your own characters, and titled The Original. You get a book deal! Look at you go!

Got my location assignment for Oviedo Mall’s Page & Pen next Saturday (October 3)! No. 66: Just off the food court and mall’s north entrance, in front of the B Dalton. #romance #sapphic #LGBTQ #bookstagram

One of the few good things about the drought this year is watching so many of my neighbors replace dying grass with native plants.

Alright lovelies, nobody should have to go without the care and meds they need. Donate some funds to the critter below and I'll send you something from thw shirt stash. $20 gets you a tank top, $25 gets you a shirt, $45 gets you a hoodie. Hit me up with a screenshot of the donation

man this is a rough read and - though as a white couple we are obviously in a different position - speaks strongly to something we are going through right now with our kids and it is heartbreaking

How did he pass is job interview? The same reason he's all over the press & everyone in the "left" is captured by these people. I'm gonna call it like it is, once again, its ******RACISM********* Y'all can't imagine that WE are the experts.

I know this'll ruffle feathers but I agree with this Food/Water watch analysis. Diverting renewable energy away from fossil phase-out and climate adaptation and towards melting graphics card to power chatbots is the formal end of moral purpose for clean technology.

Make a band edible: The Rolling Scones

Threadception here but omg, I feel like KJ & Racheline have absolutely put a finger on something that has made me feel insane about all of this. I talk about imaginary people as if they are real entities with goals, desires, motivations etc all the time. I tell Donna, "no he would never do that"

Authors who are members of the class in the Anthropic Settlement, please be aware that if you have a work in the settlement which has multiple authors but is self-published (or the rights have reverted), the settlement allocation is buggy. Explanation below

Catching Up The Monday after a weekend event is my time for catching up. Laundry, cleaning up, getting the millions of things done that usually get done over the weekend. So today is my day to catch up on things. The last load of laundry is in the machine. My planners are updated for the week.…

Hi Internet! I'm Drew and THIS IS MY FACE. If this GIF has ever brought you joy in the past, I humbly ask you to consider making a donation to the National MS Society. It would mean a lot to me and to those I know affected by the disease! Donate at blinkingguy.com

Oh shit, remember when a bunch of people told me that steganographically watermarking the text outputs from "AI" wasn't possible and that I didn't know what I was talking about when I suggested it? Looks like it absolutely was possible, and I did know what I was talking about when I suggested it 🤷🏾‍♂️

We've seen some questions pop up around layoffs: "well, if they were laid off, didn't that mean they weren't doing a good job? Maybe they deserved it." And on its face, that sounds logical and legitimate. Because the opposite would just be pure cruelty, right? ...Right? ...So here's the thing.

🔇 🔇 🔇 My book, Deep Unlearning, is now available for preorders! I don't know how people write so many books because this one took a lot out of me. It turns out, I had a lot to say 😂, with editors cutting out 50k of my words 🫣 ✴️ You can now preorder it at www.simonandschuster.com/books/Deep-U....

Twitch is live now and supposedly they will be addressing this. (May already have, I'm late, it's a busy day.) www.twitch.tv/twitch

I am a girl. I like reptiles and horror movies and science fiction and comics and TTRPGs, and for my entire life, every time I have entered a space, I have had to prove that I didn't "steal" it from the person* it rightfully belonged to. (*Boy, then man.)

This is kind of an incredible website: Why your stuff stopped lasting, who profited, and what's still built right.

I guess this is how one becomes someone who haunts estate sales for old Pyrex

So. I did it. Lotta people gonna be mad about this one. Show it some love?

I completely agree: on a global perspective, switching to LED light bulbs and so on while we're spiking energy usage through data centers is a terrible strategy. On a personal strategy level, most of these things just make sense.

Proud to announce our HARDSHIP FUND: uvw-cwa.org/hardship-fun... If you've been recently laid off and need support, we got you.

For the people saying critics of Democrats on immigration from the left don’t have an alternative, I always say “go look at the Statue of Liberty, that’s our immigration policy.”

When the selkie returned to the beach, a man was holding her sealskin. "Is this yours?" he asked. "May I borrow it?" "You want to be a seal?" "No, but when I take it off, I'll be a woman, right?" "My heart, you already are," the selkie said. "That skin is mine, but I can help you find yours."
