My no-fun-at-parties take is that "christmas is a secular holiday" is an uncomfortable way of assuring me that christianity is the status quo and everything outside of that is an aberration. Sorry! It's still a christian holiday!! Just because you're an atheist doesn't make it secular!

Happy Solstice, everyone!
My old enemy, The Sun, will be returning more and more to the Northern Hemisphere after tonight.
Warm weather people, get hype while the rest of us look for caves to shelter in.

Incredible words.

So look man if we're just gonna be online here watching all these big studios come out and lay down on the tracks about Gen AI going "I have to do this for some reason." then I think it's more important than ever to celebrate games from based devs who are out here openly posting "Nuh uh, fuck that."

New cancer management update. TLDR; I had a sigmoidoscopy yesterday. New polyps, but none looked bad. Biosy to come.
Multiple scopes a year required to monitor this, and that'll cost me.

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

Relaxation tips:
- take a deep breath
- put down your phone
- find a sinister fog in the forest
- enter the fog and let it enter you, until you become one
- travel the wildlands with the other fog spirits, spreading fear & wonder in equal measure
- have some tea

I hate that every week there's something stupid like an Everyone Has To Drink Pee Now Bill and the alert sounds to CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES THIS IS NOT A DRILL and you really wish you could just trust them to not go for the pee drinking bill

Actually going to be closing my shop the end of this month to do a bit of tooling around with my zines. See, I know having so many names is confusing and I agree. SO, I've decided to make TomatoBandit my official art "brand" and start signing all my art that way going forward.

The PDF's not in the shop yet but I made this zine for every Pagan who's sick of explaining that Xmas is Christian and, no, they didn't "steal" our traditions to make it.

"There’s a freedom people are craving because they’re feeling so constrained, surveilled and, frankly, threatened in so many other spheres."

Zines have made a resurgence as communities seek to share information on everything from ICE raids to local elections.

I'm shit at posting my work, but it's also a surprisingly busy month for me. Tbqh, I might not get around to putting my holiday stuff in the shop until after the holidays have already ended. Maddening.

I've said for years that Twitter has become nothing but a hate site and a vector for harassment.

And now it's a doxxing tool.

Get the fuck off of Twitter, now. And pressure the organizations you work with to get off.

It's a danger to everyone's safety.
NEW: Elon Musk's Grok chatbot will, with minimal prompting, provide residential addresses of everyday Americans.

Prompts as simple as "[name] address" immediately returned accurate home addresses of private citizens — alongside other personal info we didn't ask for.
