ANYWAY DOE Today is my actual first day working at the bookstore (the other days were just training) and I’m incredibly nervous to be flying solo. Wish me luck!!
I TOLD Y'ALL Flock is not the only surveillance company in the game. Axon (and I'm sure others waiting in the wing) is flying under the radar while everyone talks about Flock.
New: Axon says cops are asking it to change its license plate readers to make them look less like Flock cameras. This is because people keep vandalizing Flock ones. Axon said it is looking to change the design. CEO said this in a now deleted webinar, but we got a copy www.404media.co/cops-are-ask...

Toni Morrison on Fascism and Censorship
In this reprint of "Peril" and "Racism and Fascism," Toni Morrison warns of the creative depths of fascism's reach.

This is how Toni Morrison defines it: “Fascism talks ideology, but it is really just marketing” “the narrow but protective chasm between governance and business disappears.” “so that we will find ourselves living not in a nation but in a consortium of industries” inthesetimes.com/article/toni...
Opinion: If a parent doesn't love you unconditionally and accept you without reservation because of your sexual orientation, it is up to them to fix their own shit on their own time. Also. Amputation often saves the life of the patient.
In @nytopinion.nytimes.com “Going no contact is a kind of amputation,” Celeste Marcus writes. “Not only would it be an awful way to treat my father; it would also deprive me and my future family of a connection to the ideas and tradition that made me who I am.”
ITS HAPPENING GUYS!!! Come find me this week at Anime NYC with Taylor Pitts! I'll have most of my usual items plus some new stuff!! We'll be at table AC-06 in the Artist Alley which is on the side closest to the food court! So if you attend, feel free to stop by and say hello! 🥳💕
I’m so tired of genAI apologists telling me I only hate it because I don’t understand it. I hate it *because* I understand it, you absolute toenail.
I give this platform a year TOPS before it all goes to shit & ill nuke my account just like i did on the bird. I wont be downloading anything new or migrating anywhere. Just tap me out like a solider. 😭
Bluesky's new CEO Toni Schneider on the platform's reputation for being a liberal bubble: "Yes, we definitely want that to change. It is already changing. It certainly wasn’t designed to attract one specific group of people."
As someone who is almost finished making a granny square cardigan I need you to know that just weaving in ends can take one or two hours alone.
A reminder that cheap crochet items are made by slave/severely underpaid labor. No machine can replicate crochet. You NEED a human to do it. Do not buy that crochet shirt. Just don’t.
Very cool that Shopify’s CEO thinks the poor should have far less of a vote than the rich. Still worth that ad read money, folks?
An important update regarding our launch. We have made the tough decision to move the release date! There's a mix of reasons behind it, so here's a quick thread🧵 (TL;DR: Need a 2-3 weeks more, but September is scary.)
Perhaps the worst part of this is that people may assume that it’s *good* because wealthy people are doing it, and it becomes the rationale for some version of this to be incorporated into poor schools. The rich kids are going to be insulated from the worst outcomes. Other kids? Not so much.
“Founders School in Manhattan promises to refund families its $150,000 annual tuition fee if their child has not made $1mn ‘in profit’ upon completion of the four-year high school course.”
We have over 2,700 workouts, 100 programs, dozens of training pland and nearly 200 challenges. It can be overwhelming, which is why we give you a quiz to help you start with what is best for you. Perfect to share with a friend, too!

Kenney being just an absolute good human yet again
A bit of a shame, freegameassets.com used to be a directory linking to good asset resources but they now provide AI slop assets. The directory is down the page. I'm so glad I bought gameassets.com lol, that's safe from slop.
My theory about "raising awareness" is that it makes people feel like they are doing something without needing to attend to whether what they are doing works. Which, since I'm still thinking about Spinoza at one remove, is exactly what often makes people nervous about systems thinkers.
the tl;dr is that orgs advocating for change love to "raise awareness" in ways that make people feel like change is impossible.
Gonna Hail Mary and post anoriand.carrd.co again because today I got the *wonderful* news that unemployment is gonna take a few extra weeks at BEST to process for me because of a minor paperwork nitpick fixed *two weeks ago* and I need help. Obvs help would be appreciated, but also freelance work!

Guys I don’t know how to say this but our studio is being shut down. I’ve got surgery in a few hours but ummm I’ll be open to work after I recover. If anyone needs a 3D character artist with experience working from scratch, optimizing from film, and working with character customizers I’m open 💔

Incredible moment where Fox News puts up a graphic with all the reasons it opposes the DSA and why people should be afraid of them
A loud and painful reminder that COLLEGE-EDUCATED Black women bore the BRUNT of job loss last year cc @epi.org.
So painful. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2026/...
I’m starting to believe he ruffles feathers of centrist dems not because of his policies…. But because centrist dems are more beholden to corporate interests than the good of the people
It might be hot outside but the rent is freezing.
