I have a huge backlog of art which I haven't posted here yet, so I'm going to do that. Going to make this a thread. Starting with some of my more political paintings.

If I decided it was too much bother to clean my house so I moved into an igloo in Antarctica for the rest of my life, you'd think I was awful stupid.
Tech bros deciding they'd lose too much profit if they stopped destroying the Earth because they can move to Mars someday is even stupider.

Anybody know how to fix this in Photoshop? Every time I kern between letters, then place the cursor somewhere else, it automatically applies the last value used to that new spot, rather than waiting for me to decide how to adjust it. It wastes a lot of time and I don't see any options in the prefs.

It's funny that everyone who has *ever* programmed, knows how important attention to detail is. Hours wasted because you made a typo, forgot to add a character, etc.
The tiniest thing you literally don't notice is wrong, and your program screams at you and dies.
This is a universal experience.

It bears remembering that choosing to be optimistic doesn't mean you're ignoring that the house is on fire, it means you believe that fighting the fire is still worth doing. The only futility is in giving up.

NB: When I, a professor of law, profess that an act is unlawful, I am not doing it to inform the lawbreaker, but rather to inform you, the reader.
So the question “what, like you think he cares?” is inapposite. The question is whether *you* care. I think you should, which is why I bother.

relevant follow up thread about revolutionary optimism
Revolutionary optimism is the disciplined confidence that because trans lives are forced to invent ways of surviving capitalism, we also possess the skills needed to abolish it.
Despair only serves existing power structures.

Election smart people. Don’t use the same tactics and slogans that lost you several elections. Don’t wish ill will to the people who you need votes from. Don’t do that. Is the other side paying you?
Start blaming your own leadership for their faults. Stop idolizing people who lost to Trump twice.

I think it's hard not to argue for Trump as the absolute worst modern American President at this point but Reagan probably represents the biggest avoidable inflection point that bent the country towards ruin. His admin did so much unnecessary evil bsky.app/profile/brur...

I live in embarrassment at the thought that when I add music to my various playlists, the artists are receiving notifications that tell them the playlist name. Like, I'm not judging your songs, I'm just assembling tracks for different moods

Under capitalism, everything that should liberate us is used to exploit or replace us. For as long as we live under a system that forces us to labor in exchange for our survival, we should do everything we can to slow the automation of that labor until our survival is guaranteed by other means.

Once again thinking about the time on Twitter where some guy was complaining about how a morning show don’t have any white people on it and I posted a picture of the morning show and it had 4 white people and one black person and the guy said “yeah but they wish they could fire the 4 white people”
Hiring a Black woman: “identity politics”
Hiring a white guy for a job that has been held disproportionately by white guys, because he is a white guy: “subverting” identity politics!
(The author of this sentence is Dylan Byers; you will not be surprised to learn that he is a white guy.)
