I really cannot think of a greater honor than to have the Muppets say this about you upon your passing

Instagram post from the official Muppets account: Few humans have earned the title of honorary Muppet more than the legendary Tim Curry. As a performer he was unparalleled - witty, charming, unnerving, and deeply funny. We will always consider it one of our greatest treasures to have been part of Long John Silver’s crew. Thank you for everything, Tim.

Today is my Birthday! As a disabled person, I will ALWAYS celebrate my birthday, because it is another year surviving in a system not built for me/us. It's been a wild year, but so much new stuff is coming soon, which you bet your butts I will platform here. For today, I will celebrate by eating. 🖖🏻

See, I love an em dash, because it provides a visual pause for the reader, and because it is a way to get away with girthy sentences. 🤓 But AI uses it as a means to avoid declarative sentences, and hence, upsetting users.

This post clarifies a LOT of what irks me about ChatGPT and our evolving sense of language. ChatGPT loves "bland melodrama"—language like "it wasn't just x...it was y." On the one hand, this makes it easy to spot. But once you spot it, that s*** is everywhere. ugh.

FB is officially advertising foot porn. It is not called that, and I am the LAST person to throw faux moral outrage at this, but... FB is getting Interesting as it evolves into its form. This is why I love being object oriented.

I'm presenting today at #SCMS2025, if you're around, and what to hear me discoursing about queer crip epistomologies of sex, death and shit... complete with A/V material! 🤓 Really though I excited to be in community with others. Join us! It's gonna be fun.

Web Rings and Blog Carnivals were/are certainly cozier alternatives to our increasing sterilized and hegemonic digital landscape. At least, the top layer of our current web/GUI visual discourse.

I don't know about *personal* websites, but I do have a very good friend, colleague, and cohorter—Dr. Cameron Irby, who uses one as his official site: cirby.neocities.org so...it's a Thing™

Today was a good day. I am recovering well from a (minor but necessary) toe amputation. AND today is my 35th birthday. My last year of youth—according to Nielsen demographics. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. I am grateful for lovely peers, friends and colleagues. On to the next year, and more criptastic adventures. lol

I applied for student loan forgiveness in the summer of 2021. This morning I learned that my loans have been officially and completely discharged. To quote several friends, it is great to come into 2025 with significantly less debt over my head. Whatever else happens, today is a good day.

Me talking about Bluesky: The "echo chamber" criticism is undergirded by two common internet fallacies, that X reflects genuine mainstream discourse and that social media is only useful when users are confronted at all times with social and political conflict Normal person: Hey man how's it going

I am convinced that without ready access to Dragon Professional Individual (we do not talk about the Home version. It is a scam. It sits on the throne of lies...) A whole subsection of disabled/Crip academia would collapse. … It's me. I am talking about me. I would collapse.

That Feeling When™ you've been writing about queercrip podcasts as a viable alternative to ableist power structures AND you realize in retrospect that said chapter heavily features both MOM & DAD as initialisms.... Totally intentional dear reader. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

Just assuming everyone with an "invalid handle" in their name is doing some sort of clever crip intervention on this site.

I was going to ask too big or too small, then I read the comments. lol. Although to be generous to students, GIFS can push up file size. Also yes, this is me wishing my students would be more playful in the classroom and use GIFS... But that perhaps is also a discussion on authorial voice.

I write about disability and desirability. This often includes thinking about the erotic (and kink). I co-wrote a book with lots of lovely people that includes a coda about after/care and kink: www.sup.org/books/media-... I am a theory geek who believes in the capacitating function of sexuality.
