in insane local news, the 26 year old director of a rocky horror production was arrested for sending threatening messages to himself in order to get the play shut down bc he didn’t want to deal with cast drama www.mynbc5.com/article/rock...

My roommate hasn’t posted much about it, but her kitten Alexei has had some health issues from pretty early on. Things have been leveling out finally and quite a bit of money later. He seems to have had layered issues of coccidia (then a bacterial imbalance due to it) and possible feline coronavirus

Ona (my roommate) has spent SO much on this little guy. So many different foods, so many meds and supplements, so many vet visits. She would never ask, but... If you want you can find her Etsy right here: www.etsy.com/shop/violent... And larger prints online: tenderlovingempire.com/search?q=Ona...

Absolutely perfect arc for Eli Roth to land on using AI. The hackiest of hacks. The horror Brett Ratner.

Finally my moment has arrived

The TOS being so strict that they control you offsite is the problem; sites like Patreon and Kofi have offsite clauses too. The social criminalization of the suggestion that somewhere you might be doing nsfw is a problem. It's branding a person as obscene and we need consumers to stand up for us

Being anti-AI isn't enough. You should be pro-art, pro-artist, pro-writer, pro-worker. Don't expend all your energy tearing people down. Spend it lifting people up instead. Make their voices so loud, their art so visible, it drowns out the slop.

Please do not apply to Shortbox Comic Fair. Here's a thread:

Illinois should legitimately issue birth certificates for trans people born in states that will not do so "sorry about your old state congratulations you were born in Illinois now"

Starbucks' latest response to the new silica-based blending powder: They dodged the issue entirely.

Starbucks Workers United@sbworkersunited.org · 2w ago

🚨Have you felt sick after handling Starbucks’ silica-based blending powder? If you're a barista, reach out to us. If you're a Starbucks customer, we urge you to STOP BUYING STARBUCKS until the company finalizes union contracts with the protections and improvements we need.

Also god do I hate the word "content" not art not media not even entertainment "content" you just make a thing that fills up time or space. Interchangeable and utterly replaceable by anything that is sufficiently distracting for 1.7 seconds before they move on

I can’t believe the writer of a comic in which an American-Pakistani teenager idolises a USAF pilot (who would have spent her career bombing the Middle East) has a somewhat mercenary attitude to the writing process. Get that slop bag!

Such a perfect reading of Rear Window that it hit me like a lightning bolt:

priscilla page@priscillapage.bsky.social · last wk.

Rear Window is all about Jeff working through his weird fears of intimacy with, and commitment to, a smoking hot Grace Kelly. the stories that play out in other people's windows are possible futures for them -- and the Thorwalds are what Jeff perceives as their worst-case scenario
