There's a tension when looking at problematic things in the past. I do think that there's value at looking at things from the perspective of their time. Uncle Tom's Cabin feels very racist looking at it from our time. In its time, however, it was one of the foremost anti-racist books. 1/

@gailsimone.bsky.social I finally got caught up on Uncanny X-Men. I love how much you really focused on them as a family. I hope Gambit and Rogue get back soon and do what they've been planning with the Outliers. I also hope Quicksilver manages to unfoot his mouth at some point.

#cats #domestication The bluesky app had a hiccup, and I lost the post I was responding to. Someone posted about how there are a bunch of genes separating dogs and wolves, but only one that made cats domesticated, which was the one that controlled flight distance from humans. They'd heard this 1/8

So, I recently saw a youtube video on the Daily Wire's kid show, Chip Chilla. I've also been listening to the audiobook for @scalzi.com's When the Moon Hits Your Eye, and I have a troubling realization. @wilwheaton.net sounds eerily like Rob Schneider.

There's a video essay in how "Parker Luck" generally just amounts to "Peter chooses to do the right thing, no matter what."

Took a picture while taking a hike today. This stream was extremely green from duckweed, and seemed very picturesque.

scp-wiki.wikidot.com/this-is-not-... For no reason at all, this seems like a good month to link this.

A new video up! This time, I talk about the origins of the Wanderer's Library, the first SCP Foundation offshoot, and still the most successful. youtu.be/Ac79STbw0Oc?... #scp #wandererslibrary #scpfoundation

SCP Groups of Interest

When I was getting dinner earlier, I saw a business across the street called Certified Transmission. But because I only glanced at it, for a second my brain read it as "Gentrified Transmission." "Yeah, I heard they're putting a Whole Foods in Jim's Chevy."

Holy crap, I just realized something. X-23/Talon? She took the name Laura Kinney. In-universe, this is after her in-universe surrogate mother, Sarah Kinney. But Laura Kinney is also the wife in the movie Multiplicity. @chrisyost.bsky.social and Craig Kyle, I have missed that for years.

I dunno a lot about this Beetle Moses guy. But I'll tell you this: the man can draw a monkey.

My debut book of comics is officially LIVE for PREORDER!

I've started up a YouTube channel to share some of my thoughts regarding SCP writing. Here's my first video. youtu.be/OmabU-jrTZk?...

My kitten does not understand why I will not let her sit in front of the TV and jump up at the moving things on the screen. However, if I do not break her of this habit, I do not think it will end well when she is bigger and has more mass.

I've been painting weirdos. #warhammer #aos #warhammerquest

I'm looking forward to seeing the nerd rage over the new female Custodes character. Their impotent tears sustain me. #40k #adeptuscustodes #warhammer

I'm getting really tired of powerscalers treating every story like it should be solved through spreadsheets. It doesn't matter who you think is stronger, the writer is the one who decides who gets to win, based on what makes the best story.

Lot of fireworks in my neighborhood tonight. Exposure therapy has helped a bit, but it still makes me want to go hide.

My two cats, Esmeralda Whiskerwax and her apprentice Magrat Purrlick.

I am tired and hungry, but my roommate has a godawful stomach flu, so it would be a huge dick move to cook or bring food into the house, and I don't want to leave him on his own long enough to eat elsewhere. Life is suffering.

scp-wiki.wikidot.com/9000contestm... "Note: The object in Agent Harris's hand was identified as the top three inches of Agent Joshua Prestwood's head. No other remains of Agent Prestwood have been retrieved to date." My entry into the SCP 9000 contest. #scp #scpfoundation #drmann

Had to go on Facebook to message someone, and glanced at my feed. The idiots are still mad about female custodes. #40k #warhammer

So, intellectually, I know the #SCPFoundation is a big deal. I know it's famous. But to me, it's still the little website I run with some friends. Tycho from #pennyarcade knows SCP? Fucking Charles Stross?! Unreal, this world I live in. Absurd. Wonderful.

Finally finished Commander Dante for my Blood Angels. I'm pretty happy with how he's come out. #minipainting #warhammer #warhammer40k #bloodangels #spacemarines #40k

So, I decided to boot up Minecraft for the first time in a decade or so. While mining for diamonds, I heard some weird sounds, and suddenly my screen started going dark and something was growling. What, were skeletons and zombies and creepers not enough for you people?

More progress on Dante. He's nearly done. Next step will be basing.
