Hey everyone,
I am not 100% sure how much I’ll be using Bluesky. To be honest, I’ve had social media burnout all year and have done my best to try and make some distance as it’s not been the healthiest thing to use (esp lately). That said, hi, you’re awesome, keep being awesome, appreciate ya 🙏❤️

Expect Final Fantasy influences as they’ve been a major source of inspo for awhile.

The LA city council just voted on a major change to sharply lower annual rent increases in rent stabilized units — 660k apartments — to between 1% and 4% depending on inflation. Story to come

I'm single. No kids, no claims, no pre-existing conditions. The cataclysmic leap from paying $50 a month to $1,228.28 a month is a level of devastation the depth of which I'm struggling to articulate. I wasn't going to be able to afford when I thought it was going up to $350 a month. And now...😵
I thought my new health insurance premium was going to be $350 per month until I got this letter informing me that it would be $1,228.28 PER MONTH. I CURRENTLY PAY $50. Is my math mathing? Is that.... a 2,356.42% increase?
2256.42%????

Important to understand this. There's a reasonable chance that your Dem Senator who voted against it and is acting mad now was in on the play. It's the same reason why they scheduled the surrender for AFTER the election this week. They didn't want people pissed at Dems right before an election.
The caucus meeting was just to orchestrate who would fall on the sword but not be up for a vote in 2026.
so currently defectors are:
Kaine (2030)
Shaheen (Retiring)
Hasan (2028)
Fetterman (2028)
Durbin (Retiring)
CCM (2028)
Rosen (2030)
King (2030)

The only truly ethical response that a self-described artist can make. Anything else is a betrayal of one's colleagues.
“I am not interested, nor will I ever be interested. I'm 61, and I hope to be able to remain uninterested in using it at all until I croak. ... The other day, somebody wrote me an email, said, ‘What is your stance on AI?’ And my answer was very short. I said, ‘I'd rather die.’” 🫡
Filmmaker Guillermo del Toro says 'I'd rather die' than use generative AI
Del Toro's new Frankenstein adaption reimagines Mary Shelley's 1818 Gothic novel. Frankenstein was like a tech bro: "creating something without considering the consequences," he explains.

Yoga/stretching everyday is a literal lifesaver. You’re back and body will thank you for this later down the line.

I couldn't wait to be a grownup so I could go to bed anytime I wanted.

This is part of a very important thread keeping tabs on the situation in Chicago.
This is a rare one but it’s important governor pritzker is attempting to establish the boundaries and responses to federal actions agaisnt civilian populations bsky.app/profile/govp...
The suggestion that chemical agents like tear gas or pepper spray could be used indiscriminately against peaceful demonstrators, or even first responders, is unacceptable and not normal.

What we're seeing in the "don't sign up for protests" discourse is what Paulo Freire described as the convert's failure to trust the knowledge of the oppressed. As the convert tries to stand in solidarity with the oppressed, they refuse to let go of a world where they were the authority by default.
