I’ve said it before - fan fic is cookies someone made at home and brought in to share. Yes, they should be labeled for allergies (tagged). No, you don’t leave a nasty review if you don’t like them - they weren’t professionally baked, they were made by your peer ❤️ Build community, not negative clout

I myself, as an Anarchist cannot understand how other people still try to find ways to justify this system, even though this system has continously proven that it's unsustainable, exploitative, and harmful to all life and our environment.

I've said this about writing and art -- the goal was not to replace writers and artists with AI, the result was either:
a) *threaten* to replace them with AI, and use that as leverage to be able to pay them less
b) replace them unsuccessfully and pay them less to fix the shit the AI barfed out
a) *threaten* to replace them with AI, and use that as leverage to be able to pay them less
b) replace them unsuccessfully and pay them less to fix the shit the AI barfed out
This is sometimes read as "look 'AI' isn't working". But the opposite is true.
_This_ is what "AI" is _for_. Push down labor power, push down wages, make employment more insecure.

There is an actual life-changing conflict between WFH being cheaper and more efficient, an entire layer of middle managers who need to have meetings to feel alive, and the commercial real estate cabal that runs all cities. It’s going to get so fucking weird.
remote work is like birth control or UBI atp where there’s overwhelming research consensus they improve quality of life for people they apply to, yet access is impeded or blocked by the ruling class because the thought of marginalized ppl having rich full lives makes steam come out their ears
2. Rolling Stone is owned by a large media conglomerate, which is ending remote work across its brands.
My home is Portland, Oregon, ~1,000 miles from the nearest office, so this marks the end of the line for me at RS.

I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, it’s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work. France has Earth’s highest reading rate b/c long lunch breaks & labor protections

I’ve been asked quite a lot over the years about how I remain calm when responding to trolls and bad actors. Some day I’ll do a bigger write up, but one of the biggest things that has helped me a lot is to remember:
“When you’re easily offended, you’re easily manipulated.”

If you can mentally justify every gore story with descriptions of gruesomely murdering or ripping people apart because you understand that art about violence doesn’t cause people to enact violence, there is zero reason you can’t extend that logic to *ANY* kind of sex art

i really can't impress enough on young people that if you commit to not using AI you will be blessed by the promethean fire of knowledge and everyone around you will think you are a god for being able to do shit on your own and use your brain to have critical thoughts like a functional human being

'live action' adaptations of animation projects offends me. setting aside the cultural disrespect toward animation on a whole, it's a fundamental dismissal of animation as narrative -- the point of drawing is inherently allegorical and abstract. the metaphorical nature of animation IS the story
