I love how this implies that you can actually Be female but you can only ever Identify As male

Fuck ChatGPT flyers. The future is broadsheets.
A crowded broadsheet with way too many fonts. It says:
Forget ChatGPT Flyers
Say it with 
Broadsheets
Unlimited fonts
Stretch them

No whitespace
Mix capital and lowercase
Pointing hands
(They're called manicules!)
Don't be left behind
Broadsheets are the future

Was feeling guilty for eating a protein bar on the subway and then a guy sat down next to me with a full ceramic bowl of granola and fruit. Thanks for creating a safe space I guess

Maurycy Gottlieb, "Shylock and Jessica," 1887. Almost no one has made good art about the Merchant of Venice, but I'm obsessed with this.

Sort of like Rosh Hashanah for gay ppl. Who will live and who will die, who will be exalted and who will be brought low, etc. But if your Dyke March outfit is good enough you can lessen the severity of the decree.

For the record I love the concept of formally experimental fiction, I am just a little too dumb to understand it most of the time

I am reading Plastic, Prism, Void right now and despite being generally put off and confused by formally experimental fiction, I am RIVETED and FASCINATED and DELIGHTED by this book, very highly recommend. The @littlepuss.net streak of publishing only impeccable bangers remains unbroken
