K. M. Cooper - The Practical Escapist

Hi! I’m Kate, also known as K. M. Cooper, also also know as The Practical Escapist. I’m an author, creative baker, writer, mom, content creator-ish and all-around enjoyer of great things. Find me everywhere it fits as ThePracticalEscapist or ThePracticalEsc where it doesn’t!

it also drives home exactly why the right wants so many fucking data centers. ironically the lack of tech hardware due to those data centers will probably fuck up the rebuilding or replacement of these data centers if we're lucky

yknow, one thing about this massive bot farm outtage that's kinda made me feel optimistic, is just... how inorganic this massive swing towards the right we've all had to endure over the last decade is. It's all fucking fake, it was fake from the start, and we know how to kill it

I always somehow have deltarune inspired dreams on the day that Toby appears and says something. Last night I dreamt that chapter 6 shadow dropped lol

I can't stop thinking how wrong the tech bros have understood creativity and creators. Or even just having hobbies. #erliart

oh my god

I love when Super Eyepatch Wolf releases a weird and niche video essay. I dunno a thing about the topic, but I’ll sure be an expert by the time the 90~ minute video is done.

A lot of guys I'm seeing are mentioing that they aren't saying anything because they're afraid to come off as "performative". Guys, please be performative. Please be cringe about it. That fear you have to look bad is the same fear that shut the 50 other group chat members up. Say something

Me + older Scottish guy I pass on my morning walk. Makes my day every single time.

I love seeing how AI is falling out of public favour. A local group did a poll asking people if business that use AI are a turnoff to supporting the business and a whopping 81% said it directly impacts their trust and opinion of the business negatively.

Fuck ChatGPT flyers. The future is broadsheets.

I revisited a beloved world and replayed @jonaskyratzes.bsky.social ‘s The Sea Will Claim Everything. I had thoughts about that. thepracticalescapist.substack.com/p/finding-ho... You should play it.

The duo of Orange and Green is a reference to a Pixar film Ratatouille, where a rat named Remy makes friends with a chef. The dialogue of Ralsei offering Orange ratatouille as well as the dialogue where Orange pulls Greens hair to control them adds to this reference.

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

See I was not expecting Deltarune news today, but since the last 3 chapters were announced via a Direct, I will never miss one again until the game is finished, no matter how unlikely the announcement may be.

I was falling asleep tbh but Metroid Ravenous got my attention

This looks soooooo cool 🤩

It’s important to hand-write recipes because sometimes you get a blooper reel.

witnessed something at dragon con I can’t get out of my head

This is your daily reminder to start a handwritten recipe book and not to rely on websites for your favourites 💜

We live in an unspeakably bleak time. We are witnessing the collapse of democracy, of social cohesion, even of literacy. That's precisely why it's so important to keep articulating the value of human beings and human civilization. It doesn't have to be this way.
