The model of most of these content platforms- webcomic platforms, YouTube, various streaming things- is to push risk onto the creators and keep rewards for the platform. It's endless spec work where maybe you'll get paid someday.

so I heard you liked sprawling semi-autobiographical semi-surreal 175,000 word interactive fiction stories about indie rock bands in the 90s, so I made 9 Days In A Van With Your 3 Best Friends just for you! And you can even vote for it in IF Comp if you're cool! ifcomp.org/ballot#entry...

If you want "personalized music" made just for you pick up a fucking guitar. Or else break the heart of someone who already has.

Are people on Bluesky aware that a Black man was found hanging from a tree in Raleigh NC yesterday afternoon, near the CaribMask Carnival. Making this the sixth or seventh Black person found hung this year. Also? Black. People. Do. Not. Hang. Themselves. From. Trees.

For anyone who moves, and has their SO giving them death glares over one specific box, in about a half a dozen piles of other boxes, that has so far eluded your search, to the point where you're now 2nd and 3rd guessing your box labeling skills at 2:30 am.. I wouldn't recommend it.

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

Not excusing Platner if the accusations are true, but its amazing how many people freaking out about how progressives overlooked accusations about Platner, while they themselves never made a genocide waged with American weapons, funded by our tax dollars a personal red line... people in glass houses

Decent people don't use women & the LGBTQIA+ folks as political props to advance their Islamophobic views. They ESPECIALLY don't do it on the first day of pride. Disregard anything those folks say about anything. This idiot thought i was supporting his bigotry w/ his care reaction.

"This wouldn't have happened if you voted for Harris" -- Some jerk who didn't see enabling a genocide as a red line Your anger is misplaced. Dems knew they needed turn out, and they knew enabling a genocide would depress it. They played chicken with their base and lost. They own that.

It is absolutely astounding that when you google ADHD Marriage problems, that the perspective of the complaints ALWAYS paints the person with ADHD as the villain, and never discusses a neurotypical partner's faults/unwillingness to accept that someone with ADHD may not be able to function as they do

Been seeing a lot of kids movies with my daughter lately. Goat was much more fun than I expected. I'm not the biggest basketball fan, but it had quite a few bits that had me laughing. Grounders was a lot of fun too. Added bonus of Kathy Najimy in it, which gave it a Peggy Hill fever dream feel

Normalize comment gibbeting (letting a comment sit, unaddressed without a response) as a deterrent to others who might be thinking about posting racist bullshit comments to your posts. You spare yourself drama, and the commenter's words hang in the air for all to see. Maybe take a screenshot too.

Unfriended a friend of 20+ years bc of their Islamophobic screed they posted today. They've been doing this for almost 2 years now, but because they are friends with a large part of my social circle, I 'unfollowed' them a year ago. No more. I'm sick of tolerating 'socially acceptable racism'.
