My housemate won an Ignatz award at SPX this year and so naturally my housemates and I are building a little gravity-powered vehicle out of a moldy, rusty rollerskate we found in a free box so that the Ignatz brick can be entered into an annual Brick Race in a small town a few hours drive away

Trans rights are not the rights of a tiny minority, trans rights are everyone’s rights to self-determination, control of our bodies, and a society where opportunity and aesthetics are not restricted by sex assigned at birth
You should support and defend trans people because trans people are people

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars.
OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

during the 4 days I was out of town, my roommates bought & then hauled a GIGANTIC piece of furniture shaped like a boat across town, on foot, in the dark, to put in our art studio. It's so big they had to take the sliding doors off their tracks to get it inside. I love living with unhinged art kids

Look you just have to make the cool weird shit that excites you. You must. In this world besieged by bland, scrubbed boring, computer slop, you must. Make the thing you’re embarrassed to make, the thing that feels “too much” because otherwise we get drowned in a sea of cowardly work made by a button

4yo now mistakenly believes that a falafel gyro is called a "situation" because when setting all the components out for him to assemble on his plate I said "this is a 'build-your-own' situation" 😂
