Here’s the latest stop motion animation from my Tiny Angry Witch team. (I’m the writer, I can’t take credit for the animating!) It’s one of our longest, and it nearly drove us all mad, but we’re really proud of getting it made! 1 x Tiny Angry Witch 1 x broom No AI

How does this keep getting fractally fucked up?
Apparently it’s unprofessional to have a murdered son
i don't like to police genre, but it's not dark academia unless somebody gets squished in one of these bad boys
this is difficult in places with regimented hierarchies; i cannot imagine how you would go about it where hierarchies are loose and fluid. a senator doesn’t have a boss to answer to. neither does a house rep. this is mentorship on extreme difficulty level.
Fuck Platner. Fuck rapists and misogynists writ large. But also fuck tarring combat vets with your nihilistic stick. Who ended slavery and rebellion? Who ended fascism and Hitler? The lack of civic virtue and awareness, the lack of public service - that's the rot here, not 6% of the population.
Also the Republicans were screaming that Fauci helped authorize vaccines for children, which is something every goddamn parent I know was praying for every day for more than a year and have been thankful for ever since. These people are all self-centered idiotic sociopaths, nothing more.
if you hated covid "lockdowns" try long covid
My experience is of every American COVID-19 mitigation effort being obviously insufficient, and ended far too soon. To see people now argue that they somehow were too much, going too far? Not anti-vax or MAGA people, but folks just out here on Bluesky? It staggers me.
June Foray and Bill Scott #BOTD the voices of Rocky and Bullwinkle. "It was a special show for special people," said Scott, who also voiced Mr. Peabody and Dudley Do-Right and was the head writer and co-producer of the show (with Jay Ward). #TVSky #animation
Disgraceful actions by @harvard.edu - destroying their writing program at a time when it's needed more than ever as "A.i." undermines everything. Deepest shame on this institution and all the best to @janerosenzweig.bsky.social. www.thecrimson.com/article/2026...

But I had gotten *in the door.* And to get further, I knew, I was going to have to *work harder at being better* than some of the other people did, just to be able to compete. That sucks. But it's not insurmountable. You can pursue pretty much fucking anything. How you get there will be different
You have a month to write a 33 1/3 book about the album of your choice. Which record are you going to write about? (No previously covered albums allowed; new shit must come to light: see below.) (For all books in the series: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/33_1/3) (H/t @monostich.bsky.social
I can't stress enough what a crisis this is. Trump's own intelligence agencies concluded that Iran attacked Minnesota's critical infrastructure and Trump is saying that it's Minnesota's own fault and denying it was Iran. The federal government won't defend blue states in a literal war.

And sorry Daniel, RFK Jr. does not resemble Larry Kramer. I spent hours with Larry as part of the Treatment & Data Committee of ACT UP. He had deep respect for science and data and we debated it together every week. Larry didn't hold on to the conspiracy theories, pseudoscience that RFK embraces. 4/
