Never stop being a hater

jess m. 🌤️@jametc.bsky.social · 2d ago

I cannot stress enough: the AI bubble has already popped it is just being kept on life support by corporations trying to squeeze even a dollar more out of their shit investment, and tech bros doing the same before abandoning their shit company startups. keep hating on AI, you're winning

This post would have killed on arthurian bsky

Evangelist Whitney Lynn says she preaches on planes because she loves “a captive audience.” She's not alone. It's becoming a trend. If spreading your message requires listeners who can't escape, maybe it's not as compelling as you think. www.friendlyatheist.com/p/christian-...

Time to look up drives in my area. The Red Cross site makes it easy: www.redcrossblood.org

About 24% of U.S. employees stay in unwanted jobs just for health insurance, a report out Wednesday finds. Up significantly since 2021, the uptick in "job lock" is a concerning sign for the U.S. economy. n.pr/4gQIY5E

a possible sticker. what do you think?

well okay so the english won against the norwegians but in only a few days theyll have to face the french. anyway thats quite enough about September 25th 1066, lets look at some football news

I wrote a size difference scene in my WIP and it’s so visually clear in my head I want to illustrate it… but who has the time

I'm working on a project that involves reading a lot of academic articles about trans people, and it seems for every case study I pursue, there's one paper that has the most unfounded, transphobic take possible. Always gotta be one.

does the video game industry still have employees??

“Most, if not all,” of Id Software’s coders, 60-70 Obsidian developers, and more veteran developers have reportedly been laid off from Microsoft as the scale of this week’s big Xbox cuts becomes clearer. www.videogameschronicle.com/news/xbox-la...

I'm applying to sell candles at ECCC and 1. That's nine months from now, why do they think they're so special 2. Their questionnaire makes me feel like the dumbest business owner alive. What the fuck is an endemic brand. Just let me sell my art.

Last year I read I’M MOSTLY HERE TO ENJOY MYSELF by @glynnismacnicol.bsky.social and I loved it. It’s way outside my usual genre choices; does anyone have recommendations for what to read next? What I liked: the travel, the midlife musing, the lack of husband/children, the humor.

I love museum guides and today the unimaginable happened... I actually used one for research instead of leaving it on my bookshelf in perpetuity

If you have ever emailed a writer to let them know you enjoyed something they wrote, you are among the noblest and best and most saintly in this entire world, and I hope you sleep really well tonight.

The second thing I think of when I think of Tony Head, apart from his various delightful roles, is this story from Jay Hulme. He was a kind, generous guy and especially in the current mood, and during Pride month, this hurts. (And don't read after Sarah Woolley's tweet. Not worth it.)

Heartwarming story of Buffy's Giles going out of his way for a young trans fan

Tired: J.K. Rowling supporting a woman with anti-trans views. Wired: Buffy actor Anthony Stewart-Head quietly going above and beyond for his trans fans.

Oh man, this one really hurts. Thank you for Giles, and then for decades of playing oily bastards who were nothing like Giles and clearly having a ball with that. www.bbc.com/news/article...

I’m Alec, author of queer historical fantasy with lots of romance. I’m in the middle of too many projects right now and overwhelmed. My goal this month is to spend one day a week devoted only to my main project, The Cold Forge.

Honestly, shout out to past me for deciding I was going to sell a trans romantasy to a big5 publisher because it was “more marketable” than my other ideas. Trans books might not be selling right now but I did write a book I love.

Tonight's dinner is a kale caesar salad with home made croutons... and a side of frozen chicken fingers. TBH my biggest meal prep tip is "figure out which parts of the meal you give a shit about."

A friend of mine who was TA’ing for an AmLit course found a copy of Moby Dick a student had left behind. It had only one marginal annotation, around page 100, that simply said “whale is important.”

These 8 Democrats voted to pass a national ban on trans teachers and mention of LGBTQ topics. Rep Henry Cuellar (TX) Rep. Don Davis (NC) Rep. Cleo Fields (LA) Rep. Laura Gillen (NY) Rep. Vicente González (TX) Rep. Marcy Kaptur (OH) Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (WA) Rep. Eugene Vindman (VA)

this was HR 2616 which also bans books by or about trans and nonbinary people from schools START CALLING YOUR SENATORS NOW CIS FRIENDS TRANS KIDS NEED YOU

ACLU@aclu.org · 3mo ago

BREAKING: The House of Representatives just voted to require teachers to forcibly out transgender youth against their will. Censoring "gender ideology" does nothing to advance the basic promise that every child deserves the same opportunity to thrive, and that includes transgender students.

‘We aren’t socialists, we’re just better at accounting’ is a killer line.

True, but just TRY to get something like this past the GOP.
