Finally watched Backrooms. It did well with the creepiness but ultimately I was disappointed because it never actually got scary (to me).

Now spinning. This might be sacrilege but I vastly prefer this album over Floodland. I treated myself to a first-edition gatefold pressing and I'm astounded by how pristine it sounds. I'm realizing I've never heard this album un-remastered, and the remaster significantly muddied it. #MusicSky
An incredibly well sourced thread about what’s going on in India right now. A comprehensive account!
Modi has lost it. "The govt has responded by massively increasing the security presence in the capital. Around thirty thousand police and paramilitary personnel have been deployed, internet services have been disrupted, trains to Delhi have been cancelled, metro stations and roads have been closed."

The biggest threat to workers isn’t a dragon or a beholder, it’s unfair working conditions. D&D Producer Vanessa Hoskins is calling for a union to protect the workers behind WOTC’s premier games. actionnetwork.org/forms/uwotcp...
The royal family of the marsh - the largest Trumpeter swan family I've ever seen - 7 cygnets. I can remember when there were no swans in this marsh and this year we had 3 families. #birds
Jumping on the "The Unseen World preview is out" bandwagon to point out something very special to me: Fans of Jewish mythology might notice ibbur in the bestiary 🥰

As Indigenous People’s Day approaches I want to lovingly offer the practice that those of us who are salaried & get holidays off donate at least a portion of that paid day of day’s wages to the communities & causes we’re meant to be centering on i.e. Indigenous People’s Day and Juneteenth.
Last night I made flan with my mom, and I was so anxious that the caramel was too dark. The flan had to sit in the fridge for at least 12 hours so I've just been despairing that I fucked up the caramel. But we just ate it and damn I have never cooked something so delicious in my life.

And Nic Cage really is NOT into AI “Amazon is a very AI-friendly company. I am not an AI-friendly actor,” he said. “I didn’t sign the waiver. I’ll probably never work with that studio again.” www.vulture.com/article/nico...

Lol I just saw OP of the Backpack post noted in their alt text that it was possibly AI altered. If you can tell it's AI, don't post it!
Hey this "photo" is an AI manipulation of a bear cam snap. It's 308 and her spring cub from this summer, not Holly and Backpack. This year the internet is full of AI-ified bear cam shots for clicks. It's gross and strips every bit of personality and distinctive characteristics from the bear.
Omigod, this is the most heartwarming story possible! Backpack (bear 89) is the son of the 2019 winner of Fat Bear Week, Holly (bear 435). In 2007, he injured his foot & a practice of riding on momma's Holly's back had a new meaning: he was mobility-restricted while it healed. So Holly moved him.
holy shit!! artists!!! you guys!! pinlite.app someone made a pinterest facade site that just strips away all the dumb bullshit and gives you only the images this is AMAAZINNNGGGG. Not to mention the web 1.0 grey and blue link vibe lol
The reason I love acrylic markers so much is there's no prep and no cleanup. I LOVE painting with regular acrylics but the amount of time you spend getting set up and then cleaning up makes my highly ADHD brain see it as a "task" and therefore it's harder to get executive function working for it.
if you don’t keep up with the youth i want you to know they’ve renamed “tramp stamps” to “cake toppers” which feels like the first advancement for feminism in a long time

I am going to pack zine orders tomorrow if it kills me, and then I think I need to close my shop for physical orders until I start making progress with my back. PT is in my immediate future, but that could be a long process.

Very grateful to see these publishers getting named and shamed. If this stuff is going to happen, and we all know it is, I'd rather see it happen with bright shining klieg lights instead of in darkness and secrecy. We should know that it's happening, and act accordingly.
For @wired.com, I spoke with workers about the quiet push to experiment with AI tools from book publishing executives at the Big Five. www.wired.com/story/book-p...
