Island in Vancouver, and online. 🇨🇦 #CanadianArtist

Good morning.
I don't know who did this, but I love you.

A scary story: one year my Mom made me the best Blueberry Muffin doll costume ever and I couldn’t wear it because I got the flu and had to stay home. #HappyHalloween

Halloween is near! It's time to post this marvellous articulated Roman skeleton, presumably meant to be a reminder to enjoy life to the fullest, since pleasure ends irrevocably with death.

Stand by this: www.politico.com/newsletters/...
What’s a technology that you think is overhyped? I’m going to give a sideways answer to this, which is that the venture capital business model needs to be understood as requiring hype. You can go back to the Netscape IPO, and that was the proof point that made venture capital the financial lifeblood of the tech industry. Venture capital looks at valuations and growth, not necessarily at profit or revenue. So you don’t actually have to invest in technology that works, or that even makes a profit, you simply have to have a narrative that is compelling enough to float those valuations. So you see this repetitive and exhausting hype cycle as a feature in this industry. A couple of years ago, you would have been asking me about the metaverse, then last year, you would have asked me about Web3 and crypto, and for each of these inflection points there’s an Andreessen Horowitz manifesto. It’s not simply that one piece of technology is overhyped, it’s that hype is a necessary ingredient of the current business ecosystem of the tech industry. We should examine how often the financial incentive for hype is rewarded without any real social returns, without any meaningful progress in technology, without these tools and services and worlds ever actually manifesting. That’s key to understanding the growing chasm between the narrative of techno-optimists and the reality of our tech-encumbered world.

Saying you're an animist is a political statement.

Animism speaks to your relationships with other living humans just as much as it does with spirits.

Your relationships with other living humans more clearly demonstrates your animism than anything else.

✨ GAME DEVS: WE ARE NOT COOKED, FUCKED, OR JOEVER✨
We literally *are* the means of production. It benefits the millionaire execs to have us believe that it is *we* who needs *them*. But they generate nothing without us. The sooner we all start saying it, believing it, the stronger we can be.

If you're thinking about writing a thriller featuring an evil scientist, might I suggest selecting Andrew Wakefield as the central antagonist.

Remember that when you are looking for work, in #gamedev or otherwise, you are not powerless. Companies need you, even if they like to pretend that they don't. Every step in the hiring process is a negotiation between two parties and each party brings something of value to the table. You have value.

I have a little essay in the new issue of Public Display about queer time and queer imagination! it's an adaption of an essay I wrote last year, but this version bends itself in another direction I've been working towards. in print only but if you see it I hope you enjoy it! happy Pride, everyone! 💖

Had a couple of folk say they wanted to make comics but couldn’t draw well enough. So PSA: if you make the thing, you get better at the drawing (and the writing) in the process of making the thing. And then the next one is a bit better, and so on and so forth. Making “crap” stuff is allowed.

The Manitoba legislature has passed Bill 43, adding gender expression to the provincial human rights code.

In this doom and gloom climate, it's important to mark victories like this, to remember that despite the rise of the far right, we can still organize and win for 🏳️‍🌈 people.

Looking at condos in #YYJ and one says that the building has a "nice courtyard and yoga deck." Yoga Deck? It doesn't get more #PNW than that.
