A graphic for Beyond Bringers. It has a green and cyan gradient background and says: "QUEER | SCIFI | HORROR. Some time ago, a glimmer broke the horizon, blistering the periphery of sight and mind. Since then it has evolved to claim a name. The Beyond. A vast, ravenous entity gaining purchase in the world with each passing day. Amidst the chaos, Nieve Lyonne rises to fill the long-vacant position of Biotheologist. Beyond Bringers is a sci-fi horror novel about limits, language, and where humanity is lost. " On the righthand side, the book's cover is on display. The title "Beyond Bringers" is aligned vertically. A woman emerges from an inky cloud holding a dagger. Her bones and muscles morph in and out of the ink drop. Behind her is a nonsensical space created with textures and patterns. A graphic for Beyond Bringers. It has a green and cyan gradient background and says: "A kaleidoscopic look at the pieces of ourselves left behind in others. “Who are you when the light shines down? When it fills every void? What do you call the shape that survives annihilation? Only you can answer.” On the left hand side, an illustration from the 15th chapter depicts two figures mirroring each other in a reference to the suicide of Dido. They each run themselves through with a sword with their faces obscured. One figure is dressed in green and the other in a reddish purple as two kaleidoscopes collide and shatter behind them.

My first thought was “wow I hope this guy didn’t give out his name because he could absolutely be charged” and yup, he is correct to stay anonymous.

This man’s account is shocking. His neighbors’ situation is shocking. The entire Chicago raid is shocking.
On the other side was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for his help. "I wasn't planning on letting her stay, but I didn't know what the hell was going on," the man said of his Venezuelan migrant neighbors. But he quickly relented. The little girl was inconsolable and hid under his bed. "I didn't want them to take her," said the man, who didn't want to be named because he fears he'll be targeted by federal authorities for his actions. "I gave her my bedroom, and I just told her, 'Just stay there. Don't open, don't, shh, just stay quiet," he recalled telling the mom and daughter as he choked back tears.

Extremely bad news if true (and unlikely this reporter would run with it if not). The MMWR has been the earliest warning bell for outbreaks since it announced the first US cases, in 1981, of what was later identified as AIDS.

This will be a grievous shock to what remains of US public health.

BREAKING: Friday night massacre underway at CDC. Doznes of "disease detectives," high-level scientists, entire Washington staff and editors of the MMWR (Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report) have all been RIFed and received the following notice:

I feel that way about most things too. It's like, you could sell me on anything if you sell it well. That's the fun of opening up a new Thing for me. I'm really drawn to work that digs into humanity....

i agree. the sound design was revolting and I hope someone got their dues for that because it was the most successful part.

Oh I’m so glad we watched this in our living room because if I had to limp out of a theatre I just heard react to that ending I’d be feeling such negative sim moodlet modifier

I keep playing the ending over in my head like. Why? This added nothing. It only detracted. All that effort just to punch down.

Yeah the execution does become absolutely comical and I.... I really felt disgusted. But not for the reason they wanted me to be. human fragility is the special sauce that makes it work!!! And I think their own fragility showed more than anything else. I'm so honored that my work hits for you <3

They really had something in the early parts of the movie. And then it just. Crumbles under the weight of expecting us to go "eww yucky :(" which is my least favorite kind of body horror.... a big shame.

Body horror is tricky. It's a very cerebral sort of horror. It's the marriage of expectation and flesh. Where does one fail the other? Who is the traitor: your mind, or your body? Should you feel shame for what you expected of clumps of cells, or should those cells exist only to serve you?

Vague Spoilers: Where it loses me is that in its final arc, it's just asking me to recoil at "ugly" but what they're portraying as ugly is just another self aggrandizing opportunity to kick at disabled and older people. I won't. It's just mean, in a pathetic and small way.

When we write or draw porn or erotica, we get banned from having a bank account and our livelihoods get seized even if we give it away for free.

When billionaires steal what we've written or drawn to churn out a slop-approximate of porn, they're allowed to charge for it.

Oh good, ChatGPT is getting "erotica for verified adults" later this year
We made ChatGPT pretty restrictive to make sure we were being careful with mental health issues. We realize this made it less useful/enjoyable to many users who had no mental health problems, but given the seriousness of the issue we wanted to get this right. Now that we have been able to mitigate the serious mental health issues and have new tools, we are going to be able to safely relax the restrictions in most cases. In a few weeks, we plan to put out a new version of ChatGPT that allows people to have a personality that behaves more like what people liked about 4o (we hope it will be better!). If you want your ChatGPT to respond in a very human-like way, or use a ton of emoji, or act like a friend, ChatGPT should do it (but only if you want it, not because we are usage-maxxing). In December, as we roll out age-gating more fully and as part of our “treat adult users like adults” principle, we will allow even more, like erotica for verified adults.

reminder that free speech is a privilege and not a right—those in power will challenge your right to free speech at every turn if you do not stand up for yourself and those around you

he hasn't stopped calling~ have you? 🫵

how to call: stop-paypros.neocities.org

info and resources on pay discrimination: cartoonist.coop/censorship-p...
drawing of a man laying on bed with an old school phone in hand. he has a speech bubble that says "I'm so confused~ is what i'm buying illegal?" the text on the page says "keep calling and writing until payment processor censorship is reversed. one call a day makes a difference! mastercard and visa's statements aren't good enough. let's keep up the pressure together!"

Solid first half. Fell apart due to common body horror pitfalls in the second. I wish they got more into the psyche of their characters
