If you're still on Substack, you're helping platform fascists and their enthusiastic minions, such as Bari Weiss, whom they actively partnered with just before her move to CBS. Go check out @buttondown.com and @ghost.org instead. You can even migrate yours subscribers and subscriptions!

What if instead of starting substacks in twenty-fucking-twenty-six people learned to give one iota of a fuck about whether they want to associate themselves with nazis.

hey boss. yeah i'm gonna be late again for my job in Myst world, where we live. i forgot which combination of the sixteen valve handwheels in my apartment opens the front door again

today i wore a kandi bracelet that says "fruity bitch" and has a series of rainbow beads on my wrist, a rainbow bandana, a metal cross around my neck, a black wife-beater tank top, and, ngl, also had a pretty severe case of "resting grumpy bitch face" and boy howdy, EVERY customer was intimidated

Them is such a joke of an outlet. yet another ostensible queer rights outlet beholden to its corporate owners i hate this industry so much jesus christ

tofu was happy we brought dnd sunday back so he could get pets from more people. this week i played instead of dming. i was a very high elf wizard named sativa kindbud. today i accidentally sold magical drugs to undercover fascists, and when i realized who they were i set their dicks on fire.

One final take: The people doing the hard yards of effective work, whether grassroots activism, legal work or lobbying, do not talk much on here about it. Because it’s difficult, exhausting interpretations are too bad faith, and the other side can see your posts. Bluesky is not the real world.

it took me three hours to finish the museum mission in crime scene cleaner and i STILL didn't get a perfect score because the t-rex jaw clipped behind a painting 😭

of our fellow scientists have an ethics problem. They think if they design something that then gets used to kill/harm people, it's not on them. I saw this firsthand at Los Alamos. My own boss said of his work there 'if there's a hell, I'm pretty sure I'm burning in it.' Stop working for madmen ppl

I got offered millions, a lab, cutting-edge equipment, and any collaborator I wanted during Bush 2, all I had to do was develop low-frequency transmitters to go inside a soldier's helmet to affect brain activity. The plan was not to inform them. I noped out so hard, I make lotion now. But many 1/
