i fly out for revision in 8 days and could really use the help to get me through the 2-3 week recovery afterwards <3
Good News: On my last follow up, my FFS surgeon was confident things were okay.

Bad News: The whole process was way more expensive than I anticipated and all the money I had set aside to help me get through my revision next month is now gone.

People have worn out "performative." We often perform things that are real, you know. Posting is a kind of performance of one's politics. Performative doesn't actually mean "fake" or "empty," it just gets deployed that way. We actually need performance. Case in point: last night's performance.

Please don't accuse people in knitted hats of only wearing their supposed politics if all you're doing is posting, which is basically just another way of wearing your politics. It's a silly thing to attack people over in any case. Using fashion to signal support for ongoing acts of rebellion is good

Think about all the load-bearing documentation that is about to vanish into smoke once Discord goes under, and then ask an old nerd about IRC and ICQ

Not gonna lie, sometimes I miss the days of accounts with 1,000 followers screaming "DON'T YOU KNOW WHO I AM?" at each other.
A big development in the history of this website is that we used to make C+ posts and say we were the best posters in the universe and now we make B- posts but are filled with shame

They DO understand that Bad Bunny and Green Day's performances were political, they just want to convince you they weren't.

You're laughing? The team that lends their plane for deportation flights and whose owner is best pals with Trump got utterly humiliated in front of a hundred million viewers, and you're laughing?

It was transforming the biggest NFL stage in the world into a sugar cane plantation that did it for me.

Like, the multiple layers of turning an American icon into a plantation and highlighting the history of exploitation of Black and Brown bodies by the NFL and American colonialism simultaneously?

I think even before AI, we all kinda forgot that 90% of the fun of making art has always been "I finally get to show you the world I've spent years walking around in."

I think we lost the fun, really.

There's no genre that should be written by AI because fuck AI forever, but romance has got to be the last genre AI should ever be used for. Despite all the jokes about how formulaic Romance is, you're asking an unfeeling machine to convey the most complex of human emotions (love, horniness).

I’m here in Minneapolis and in a few groups responding to the attacks - observing, recording, warning but also getting groceries to people in hiding.

The post below doesn’t ring true to me at all. The volunteers are amazing (most do more than I do), and NOBODY is worried about protestor behavior.
Friends in Minneapolis are very worried about this development. Both in terms of state police's role in arresting protestors and the worry that this could set off the kind of spiral of distrust and destruction that followed George Floyd's murder.

I think people just look at anything women and girls like as frivolous.
does the idea that romance readers aren't a discerning audience come from the fact they are majority straight women and looking at the quality of their straight male partners makes it seem like they'll accept anything?

It's probably a good thing that helpful features on this site like pronoun labels are hobby projects subject to individual crashouts instead of something I can just click in my settings

Also I can't tell if the new one is working

You know what's a pretty Superb Owl? Trans books!
On that note:

Trans authors (I mean authors who are trans, NOT cis people who write about trans people), drop your book links here and I'll try to repost as many as I can throughout the day.

Cis people: Repost trans authors' book links.

Cis people who want to complain about being excluded: gtfo
Being a trans author is fucking weird right now. Hell is actively unfolding all around us but I still need to be like, "hey, everyone, wanna buy my silly little queer book? It won't make anything better, but it's kinda fun?"

So....hey, everyone, wanna buy my silly little queer book?
