If you’re into books written by people instead of assembled by AI slop, I just finished this one, which is about a Black guy who quits the CIA to train Black freedom fighters in Chicago, and I can’t stop thinking about it.

the idea that making art is embarrassing if you don't do it well enough to make a career out of it is an objectively harmful and toxic brainworm.
An opinion I pretty firmly hold is that everyone should make a song, paint a painting, act in something, and write a book even if all of those things end up being objectively terrible

Writing a book isn't about competition, it isn't about winning or getting rich, it's about sitting down with your fucked-up thoughts and weird ideas and putting them on paper to traumatize people who read them. AI will never get that part right.

In Gaza’s war, my children lost their home and safety. We live in a torn tent in cold rain. Illness weakens their small bodies, and aid rarely reaches us. Their pain is greater than their age. Please, we urgently need help. 💔

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Your support can help my children start a new life.

If you want to read my work, get some GORE III

In “A Budding New Branch on a Dying Limb” a shamed and captured prisoner of war gets a new outlook on life.

and in “I Lived Inside Your Body Before You Were Born” a genderqueer kid tries to escape a small town… but brings a karmic passenger with them.

If you are too young to remember Surya, she was a fucking ICON. The only person in history to do a BACKFLIP with a SPLIT ON THE AIR, which she’d land ON ONE FOOT

Of course she wasn’t properly appreciated in her time because racism.

The current regime took a week to abolish USAID, which is three times as old and was not in the news every day for brutalizing children
“We cannot just abolish ICE!”

Bestie, you are older than ICE.

one of the greatest human triumphs of my lifetime is the relentless, unceasing, heroic effort by DECADES' worth of doctors and scientists to find a cure for a disease much of the world didn't take seriously for years because it predominantly affected a community they thought kinda deserved it
Just because good news is worth celebrating:

There is now a Prep medication that is an *every six month* injection.

HIV has, effectively, a vaccination.

“Black” is being flagged as a potentially prohibited word violating anti-DEI law at multiple Florida Universities. My interview this week with @grundrza.bsky.social documents his event being flagged because the flyer said “Black.”

Racial authoritarianism is here, it’s just unequally distributed.

people were... weird with trigger warnings in the late 2010s, but we should uhhh probably bring them back when discussing epstein, as well as trump's rape history. this is probably a grueling time to be a csa survivor.

If you like Star Trek Deep Space Nine or most cult classic films of the 1990s, then you probably are indirectly familiar with Thomas Surprenant's makeup work.

yeah hi, disabled artist with bad arms/wrists/hands here, it's not an "accessibility tool", it's a grift that produces garbage. it lures you away from thinking and learning how to do things yourself. there are many free tools, and you can use whatever input devices you already have. No Excuses
Every instance of "AI democratizes the arts, you're classist and ableist and a gatekeeper for trying to stop it" is a slap in the face to the literally centuries of poor, disabled people making art on the margins and a crass lie in service of a machine that strips down and regurgitates dreams
