At long last, the Artemis silk scarves are here! logandria.com/collections/... Artemis is a goddess of paradoxes and extremes; but she offers us uncompromising clarity of self, and an example of what it looks like to fiercely maintain one’s boundaries and bodily autonomy.

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

Feeling very excited for the next post for my blog where we discuss cognitive dissonance! A little sneak peek with some of the comments made by my editor!

A screen shot of a document comment for editing. The comment says " BRUH SICK AND TWISTED" in all caps, followed by a written scream in the form of repeate a's.

it’s come to my attention that my tumblr post has been crossposted to bluesky, so I’m posting it on my account here #AntiAI #GenAI

recently my friend's comics professor told her that it's acceptable to use gen AI for script-writing but not for art, since a machine can't generate meaningful artistic work. meanwhile, my sister's screenwriting professor said that they can use gen AI for concept art and visualization, but that it won't be able to generate a script that's any good. and at my job, it seems like each department says that AI can be useful in every field except the one that they know best.

It's only ever the jobs we're unfamiliar with that we assume can be replaced with automation. The more attuned we are with certain processes, crafts, and occupations, the more we realize that gen AI will never be able to provide a suitable replacement. The case for its existence relies on our ignorance of the work and skill required to do everything we don't.

In general, (as a trans person who has been stuck in this trap) it does you absolutely no good to think about your transition / dysphoria as uniquely worse than other trans people. It's incel mentality and it lowers your self esteem and also makes you an unpleasant person to be around.

Fourteen Thousand. The long campaign to dehumanize Palestinians is, fundamentally, about this. To provide cover for the annihilation of a people and their culture, from the youngest to the oldest, to shrugs from the most powerful nations in the world.

FUN FACT! A ton (if not most!) Indigenous languages don't have a word for "wilderness" because that's such a colonial concept There's only words for "home" and "the land (a living being)". Land is always doing what it's meant to, unless something like us is preventing it

Daily Pixel art day 645! Also finally doing something for 1k Followers! As a way to think you, I think it'd be fun to do a Choose your own adventure series! Details below, along with how to vote! Would you choose the left gate, or the right gate? #pixelart #ドット絵 #goldenlamplight #zealventure

Two unusual gateways appear above water, surrounded with bamboo poking out.
On the left, a gateway with a shimmering border, showing an orange sky with clouds and dark rays going through.
On the right, a blue gateway with a fading border, showing bubbles floating amongst what may be water.
Their reflections below are inversed, and the edges of the gates are missing.

Militarism is built into so many aspects of American culture. The way we structure our education to how aggressively we psrticipate in sports are part of how the US trains us to become desensitized to the violence needed to keep the status quo. Competitiveness is a key tenet in the US for a reason

Fenn (They/Them) @fenncrane.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

Veterans are not monoliths. Predatory recruiting tactics and physical abuse do not automatically justify or excuse the kinds of things the US military has people do. But it's important to acknowledge the violence it takes to encourage people to live with that brutality. Brainwashing is continuous

Fenn (They/Them) @fenncrane.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

Part of the reason I write my blog is that I wish to understand my military service. Oftentimes veterans are treated either as babykillers or war heroes. Both ignore the kinds of trauma that people were put through to get to that point. The US military promises you socialism and abused you for it.

TRAIL ETIQUETTE: What's cool or uncool? Welcome to my new educational #comic series on the topic of how to behave like someone who gives a crap about nature and other people when enjoying the great outdoors. This week: Sharing the trail!

COMIC.

"TRAIL ETIQUETTE"

The comic page is split down the middle, with two similar scenes playing out. The left panel is labeled "COOL", while the right panel is labeled "UNCOOL."

On the left... "COOL: Stepping aside to give other hikers the right of way."
The artwork features a white cis man wearing a red cap and button-down shirt who stands just adjacent of the trail he was descending. He waves at hiker lower on the trail, leaving an opening for him to pass. The other hiker, an API man with black hair half-tied into a ponytail wearing a backpack and hiking clothes, is sweaty and tired, exhausted from hiking uphill. He tells the other hiker "Thanks!" for letting him proceed.

On the right... "UNCOOL: Treating trails like 2-way roads."
A similar scene plays out with the same hikers, except the uphill hiker is carelessly barging through, bumping into the other hiker ("H-hey!!"), knocking him unbalance.

At the bottom of the page, more text explains the etiquette.
"Every situation varies! But the best rule of thumb is to just be mindful and aware of other hikers! I step aside for: Large groups, hikers with animals, faster hikers, etc."

This is an issue I've had ever since the Disney renaissance movies came out on blu ray (and some dvds). They really were made to be printed on film. I was astonished at how the light glowed while watching them on film or vhs as a kid. That glow is lost (literally) on the digitally sourced transfers.
