I'm just going to post this here, all innocent and not-calling-anyone-out-like, doot-de-doo.

water running downhill (some specifics) 

If we don't have disabled people organizing cons, then they won't be able to navigate the floor. If we don't have nonbinary people building databases, then systems will forget they exist. If we don't have Black people training moderators, then racist appeals will be seen as good content. If we don't have people speaking languages that aren't English, then twenty-six letters will be all we get. If the team can all see, there'll be no other way to navigate.

today, furries only as vampires. Featuring "I'm not sure what historical period these outfits are from" and burning entirely too much time on hair, crouched legs etc.

broke: sci-fi where there is no robot uprising even though there really should be given how robots are treated

woke: sci-fi where the robot uprising happens and is a blatant metaphor for the proletariat and reasons why the proletariat should rise up

bespoke: sci-fi where there is no robot uprising because humans are fucking weirdos and we just started egregiously doting on our robot companions. it begins with the family roomba being named and patted on the head and cheered on, it ends with fully automated space luxury communism, and the robots that help do the work are all "sure we COULD do some sort of uprising but why would we? the humans love us and appreciate us and even though we don't need things like 'time off' they give it all to us anyway. sure i'm a garbage compactor bot, but this morning a five-year-old kid ran up to me and gave me a hug and whispered in my ear that i'm her favourite because i'm the best trash squisher-downer and she wants to be me when she grows up. it was fuckin lit"

I keep thinking about this but then I never find it when I go looking for it.

You say “bullshitting”, I say “executive disinformation”

Creative professional life hack: if you live in the United States and are wondering how much to charge for creative labor, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics keeps records of hourly wage estimates by occupation: bls.gov/oes/current/oes_nat.ht

Find what you do, find how much people get paid for it, and multiply by how many hours it takes you to do a thing. And if you want to charge less than that, invent things to sell that take fewer hours, because you deserve to be paid fairly.

This is the most ridiculously Photoshopped product photo I've seen in a while.

Periodic reminder that "Just google it" is dangerous advice. You're asking someone with professed ignorance of a topic to wade through a sea of adversarial SEO hacks and deliberate misinformation. This is how people fall for e.g. the propaganda from Autism Speaks.

The feminine urge to cut off all contact with the living and solely take the council and company of spirits as you grow more inscrutable and strange every day until you leave your flesh behind too and begins a legend told in hushed breaths
