Important context here: when Peter Thiel and David Sacks began their war on diversity as undergrads at Stanford, thirty years ago, the very first tactic they adopted was to normalize slurs that had already been stigmatized out of mainstream society. This return of these hateful terms was a key goal.
“It turns out that banishing the slur from public discourse was, in fact, important. Because now it’s back and it turns out that it does matter when subtext becomes actual text, when terrible people enable open hatred and bigotry, encouraging others to emulate them, degrading us all.”
Perry: The return of the r-word
"These days, the r-word slur has become a staple of the American right wing, uttered with few professional or social consequences," David M. Perry writes.

I tried to write a simple little top 10 list to close out the year. Just a basic, no-nonsense list video, the simplest algorithm-pleasing format on the internet.

With 35k followers on twitter, I was able to drive MAYBE 2000 views to my videos on YouTube over the course of an entire year.

For those who have just left twitter/X and are afraid for their financial security as they try to rebuild, I want to share my experience as it will hopefully provide a bit of comfort.
Earlier this year I ran a Kickstarter. Bsky outperformed Twitter for backers by more than 3x.

Today is my 24th birthday!
Thank you all so much for the support over the past year 💙
As a tradition I started last year, I draw a birthday illustration for myself to reflect on my work from the past year — so here’s this year’s piece.
I think I’ll keep creating more fantasy creatures ✨

One of the most incredible shots I've ever gotten, in Yellowstone. This coyote walked over a ridge in the blowing snow and posed for me, with a small grin on its face, the snowfalkes like stars in the background.
The desolation and beauty of life and nature is grounding, and so good for the soul.

Legends of Runeterra understood 2017 vastaya well, making them chimeric creatures among many animals instead of Nekomimi of a single species.
LoR also thematically emphasized tribes instead of the "champion is the protagonist and the rest of their tribe is just an excuse" approach.

The Lord of The Rings movies were rated PG-13. By current rules that means that each film could contain one use of the word "Fuck". Which line are you altering to insert the most useful swear word?
