anyway that's what bums me out about twitter. I really like mastodon and the user empowerment it represents but actual uses don't always get replaced. they can just go away

don't want to overstate the case but it feels like that vacuum is what the weird tiktok/instagram culture of influencer trending spots stepped into

it was great to be able to go into an unfamiliar place and tap into the experience of my friends

then for a while social media was a less efficient way of getting the same info

now I think there's not really an option

Costs for Subcutanean printing keep rising and I've been eating them so far, but they're about to go up significantly again and I'll be forced to either raise the price considerably or take it out of print. :( Either way, if you ever wanted your own unique copy of a queer horror novel that changes for each new reader, the next couple weeks are probably a good time to buy one.

"Moby Dick" is, as it turns out, a really good book.

• A digital painting artwork depicting a giant mastodon playing a sort of ocarina on a branch, under the moon light of the 'teapot' moon (a moon from Pepper&Carrot webcomic). On the branch, also seat Pepper, a young witch and her cat Carrot. They both also play ocarina. The scene is a parody of a still from "My Neighbor Totoro" by Studio Ghibli.

one does not have to agree with every part of their argument, and I do not, to find this a useful piece to read and to seriously think about. we have harsh choices we must make, and refusing to see the need & to make the choices consciously is still just making another set of choices.

I think they are correct, in that it is indeed too late to save everything that is precious. triage is what we are driven to… triage, or an uncontrolled disaster loop.

“Mr. Kennedy has made his political career on false conspiracy theories about not just Covid-19 and Covid vaccines but disproved links between common childhood vaccines and autism, mass surveillance and 5G cellular phone technology, ill health effects from Wi-Fi and a “stolen” election… But his suggestion that the coronavirus pandemic spared Chinese people and Jews of European descent strayed into new and bigoted territory.”
