Hi, neurodivergent queer artist, 21+, finally made one of these after being off Twitter for over a year. Figured I should probably be aware of what’s happening in the world. Editor for @GalavantPod.bsky.social

everyone on this earth but especially people who hold forth about media literacy absolutely must inscribe "your media literacy can't end at the subject at hand. there's a topic above the topic." directly onto their brain. tattoo it on the inside of your eyelids.

Upgraded to a switch 2 and have an old Nintendo Joycon laying around? What If I told you that can be turned into a powerful and portable ART HOTKEY REMOTE!? I made this diagram for a friend recently and thought I'd share. Video explaining the program in the comments!

Mamdani has announced that NYC restaurants can have outdoor dining all year round. This is actually a big public health win because fall and winter is when respiratory virus cases surge. Dining outdoors helps reduce the risk of disease spread.

Panel 2 - geordi signalling 'yes' with the text "data centaurs" and a crudely edited image of the character data from star trek pasted on top of a centaur

Reminder once again that the bacon recall is not because there is anything wrong with the bacon. No one has gotten sick. It's because the US government is in a pissing match with Canada. The bacon was inspected in Canada, and I'd trust their standards over ours right now.

President Trump said the signage at the National Museum of American History would correct what a disputed White House report described as “extreme political activism.”

Wait, they admit copying works without permission or a fair use argument then excuse it by saying it helps author sales? Oh, hell no. This is copyright infringement. Your first step: issue a cease and desist order. Strongly encourage you to check out pro bono resources here. ccb.gov/pro-bono-ass...

This site is disturbing, the vast majority of trans authors are indie published and, even if they're trad published, almost none of us make enough off our writing to live off. If you can't afford to buy books, many of us share work for free, you can always support trans writers without stealing.

this is such a good and astute way to put it; so much gender critical feminism seems to stem from the belief that being a woman is a uniquely awful thing, and I mean no one's arguing that living in a patriarchal society as a woman is always a riot but what a depressing and pessismistic view of life!

I get that this is a contrarian Guardian opinion piece aimed at fretting middle class parents but let’s try to actually understand the neo-Luddite movement. They aren’t advocating no technology, they are advocating for less harmful technology that doesn’t erode what it means to be a human.
