If you hate Generative AI, the best way to fight back is to support real artists. 👌

Another classic post-Homan day where around school dismissal time we get a flurry of ICE vehicles all across our neighborhoods. Today one vehicle led an observer to their own home and pointed at it. This is a sick game to them, but we won’t be intimidated and we won’t stop until DHS is abolished.

"On the highest steeps of Space he will have his dwelling-place,
In those far, terrific regions where the cold comes down like Death
Gleams the red glint of his pinions, smokes the vapor of his breath."

I get these kinds of responses whenever there are story elements that start to get technical: medical, legal, etc. I do my due diligence in research as best I can but sometimes things are gonna be beyond me. I always feel like I have to defend choices I make that serve the story rather than reality.

I think one of the things I struggle the most with is not writing for the bad faith critic that lives in my head. Yeah, that critic has been shaped by reader responses, but it's an exhausting place to create from.

Make sure to make a support account that ISNT tied to your Discord email and identity to leave these comments.

I dunno if Discord has ever done reprisal for resisting their bullshit but - for incredibly obvious reasons - I would not trust them.

learn your history. listen to the puerto ricans calling for independence, a movement that has existed for so long, and stop blindly assuming anyone wants statehood from their colonial oppressor.

Puerto Rico hasn't had reliable power in a decade.

The grid sends occasional surges through the wires that fry appliances.

Electricity rates are among the highest in the entire U.S.

Heat waves are getting intense in the summer, and outages mean A/C is no guarantee for an aging population.

Without naming your job, tell me something you say over and over again at work.

"what even *is* perspective?"

1) open patreon for free
2) create free, and only, tier
3) write newsletter to patreon subscribers
4) publish to patreon, service pushes patreon/newsletter post to subscribers emails
5) repeat as necessary
6) there is no 6, stop using substack
wait wait wait wait
hold on
hold the fricken phone
hold yer horses
wait

you're telling me
that making a creator account on patreon is still free, and you can make all of your posts free (if you want)
and theres no subscriber limit

and people are *still* moving to substack??
