I just watched “Jim Henson: Idea Man” and (between sobs) was further impressed that Eliza has worked with The Jim Henson Company on multiple projects! 🐌
I know I am jinxing something here, but thank you to everyone who has said nice things about the Lorwyn Eclipsed music video (that I wrote.) The response from humans has been really nice, which helps a lot when you feel like you’re constantly up against AI slop! youtu.be/mCQ5EF69rSQ?...

Rewatching the “Live at The 10 Spot” Radiohead concert broadcast on MTV the year I graduated high school. The Paramount vultures, having scraped any remaining meat from MTV’s bones, will soon discard it altogether. Feeling rather picked over myself, to be honest. radiohead.com/library/#okc...

I’ve discovered the secret to infinite free money: Switch wireless plans so your bill goes from $115/mo to $30/mo. You can then use “But I’m saving $85 every month!” to justify literally any stupid purchase…forever!

What they fail to mention on the product page for these sustainable compostable bamboo toothbrushes is that they’re so enormous it’s like trying to brush your teeth with a fucking broom handle. Anyways I recently picked up a new hobby, whittling.

@siracusa.social I was so tired of Red Dot Syndrome that I created a Shortcut to launch Settings and gave it a transparent PNG of the Settings icon. I imagine the janky animation would bother you as much as the badge itself, but I’m willing to tolerate it.

Trans rights are fundamentally threatened. My friends' abilities to travel, to get healthcare, to exist in peace are all under attack. I am so upset about this. But, as a cis ally, why am I so nervous to talk about it? Why am I afraid to appear performative? This is required listening

Woke up to find a shard of clear glass embedded in my heel. No clue where it came from, how I stepped on it while unconscious, or how I managed to avoid bleeding everywhere. Suddenly concerned about what I’ve been doing in my sleep.

Spent my first 20-odd years as a devout Catholic and the biblical verse lodged in my mind is “Whatsoever you do to the least of my people, that you do unto me.”
The poor. The hungry. Seeking asylum. Fleeing death. Children of Gaza. Thrown to the wolves by rich old men in a fucking prayer circle.

This week, I started taking a mid-day break to go up to my building’s rooftop patio and spend some
