Day 4 of #Zine month is “the personal is political” by @centipedekris.bsky.social. Deeply personal and intimate, it’s an autobiographical account of Filipino politics, American colonialism and foreign policy, and the author’s mental health. Tragic and powerful in the best way.

Day 3 of #Zine month is Urban Foraging in Seattle from the Hyperlocal Dispatch group. There’s some really fun tips and recommendations, and a recipe for fruit jam! Also the art quality is wonderful; I’m really enjoying the vibe.

We shouldn't be too down on a game like Dungeons & Kittens winning an Ennie even though it lacks imagination or innovation. We should be down on it because the game re-introduce the civilized-savage dichotomy into a setting about talking adventure cats on the first page of its introduction.

Day 2 of #Zine month is We Butird a Girl by @whitefoxhats.bsky.social. An absolutely brutal and emotionally raw collection of poems; screamed with bloody throat and bleeding heart. I can’t help but feel gut-wrenching sympathy.

Day 1 of #Zine month is Love Bug! by Lonnie Garcia. This book is really cute, and talks about the author’s hobby of keeping pet bugs. The pictures of the praying mantises are really cool, and the jumping spiders are surprisingly cute! Definitely a fun and different perspective.

Every day in August I’m going to be reading a different #Zine, and sharing my reviews here on Bluesky! Feel free to join me!

Just came across this post from @adamjk.bsky.social on IG…and… Why am I being attacked like this?

I come back to this tumblr post again and again

Nobody wants predictive data models to stop working for the people in medicine. Or translating ancient Pompeii texts. Or the other ways we were already using it. We want it to stop replacing workers, killing the environment, and stealing from artists. Hope that clarifies.

150,000 marched yesterday in London for trans rights. Opened the Sky News app. Scrolled and scrolled. Nothing. BBC News app. Nothing. Guardian app. Nothing. This is what actual silencing looks like.

You can also pick up my official JURASSIC PARK posters from Vice Press! Also super vibrant, A2 size with archive inks and paper. charcoal with digital colour

OpenAI has confirmed that sometimes GPT 5.6 could make "an honest mistake" and delete your home directory. It's recommended to enable sandboxing protections including auto review to protect against this problem while OpenAI works on mitigations. 😬

This is a game of small guardians, embodiments of the flavors and whims of the big city, who shepherd a Newcomer in their journey to find a permanent home. As the Newcomer’s previous way of life rubs ...

JK Rowling spiking the football after she likely helped force Amnesty International to retract the report while using the made up term "sex-based rights."

Amnesty International put out a major report documenting the influence of UK based anti trans gender critical organizations and their funding. Within hours, GC groups threatened defamation lawsuits and Amnesty was forced to pull it down. Proving the point they're anti rights. Anyways, here it is.

📢 YOU CAN'T MAKE TEA WITH POLLUTED COOLANT WATER. #fuckAI #downwithdatacenters #AIfree

Katie Duffy@kduffy1718.bsky.social · 4w ago

Thank you! It’s infuriating because they have some really amazing blends, but you can’t make tea with polluted coolant water. I’ll take a look at your site asap and get something ordered for @youngmrduffy.bsky.social and I.

🎶Reeeeeal talk: indie 3rd place edition🎶 While Pride is typically "2nd christmas" here at the West Coast's Gayest Tea Shop, that was NOT the case this year. Everyone's numbers are down and summer is always a tight time for the specialty tea industry anyway, so we're *struggling*. (1/🧵)

The same Republicans who were hysterical when asked to wear masks to prevent the spread of COVID19 have no problem wearing masks to spread their White Nationalist Christian hatred.

Marco Rubio is against birthright citizenship. But Marco Rubio *is* a birthright citizen. Ted Cruz is against birthright citizenship. But Ted Cruz was born in Canada. He only got US citizenship by a birthright citizenship law because of his US mother. They are both shameless hypocrites.

hey is the word “eliminate” good when they’re talking about You. just wondering
