An intrinsic part of art creation, that isn't often discussed, is how fragile our creations are while we are working on them.
Text can get erased online and paper can get torn or lost.
Sewing can get easily cut or drinks spilled on them.
Electronics can get pieces lost, broken, or corroded.
Don't even get me started on code.
Art is fragile y'all. Thanks for making it despite that.

here's my take on getting out of bed: the world is much scarier when you are naked and have low blood sugar

Graphic of three figures seated around an open space, overlaid text reads OINGO BOINGO, CAKE, and WEIRD AL YANKOVICH, in the center are the words SONGS WHERE THEY GO “HEY!” A LOT.

Just a reminder that our global circumstances are, counterintuitively, probably rougher on introverts than extroverts.

We haven't been getting the truly private time we need to recharge because our families and roommates are always home. Nor are we getting the structured social time that we do want. If we're working remotely, our calendars may have been filled with Zoom meetings that are even more exhausting than the in-person ones they replaced.

Please check in on your introverted family and friends. They probably feel very, very tired.

I believe powerfully in the capacity of earnest self-expression to change the world. Maybe not the whole world, not all at once. But it can change your corner of it. It can change the people and places near to you. And it can change you, too.

You can always choose to be something other than what you're 'supposed to.' Always; that option is never closed to you.

You can be more than what you were made as.

Hi, folks. @Leucrotta and I are looking for someone to take over a vacant bedroom in our 3BR/2BA apartment. We live in Shoreline, a bit north of the Seattle city limit.

Rent would be $736/month, water/sewer/garbage ~33/month. Electric heat & air conditioning.
We might be able to supply it furnished, if you need that.

If interested, send me a direct message.

Today I released the first edition of Riot Medicine, a public domain book to help street medics in the struggle for liberation, autonomy, and dignity for all. You can download all 466 pages for free here: https://riotmedicine.net/downloads

currently enjoying the 90-second-long period of time that occurs only twice per year, where the sun shines at exactly the correct angle to go through the front window of our flat, through the living room, into the hallway, down the small set of stairs that goes to the back, and into the kitchen, where it lands exactly in the 20cm wide gap between counter units next to the sink (which is impossible to clean behind) and illuminates, with glorious intensity, a plastic hose and 1 piece of dry pasta

me: i'm strongly opposed to the police. history is a record of their crimes

my therapist: of course

me: but also, i love it when a detective uses their superior powers of observation to catch a murderer inside one of their own contradictions, dismantling their entire web of lies with a single sentence

my therapist: who doesn't

This totally non-canon edition of Qwerpline brought to you by the Mandalay Rondelet Andele! The Euro-Burmese speed poetry slam held monthly at the Nsburg Sumpworks. The Mandalay Rondelet Andele!

This event needs a better sobriquet.

Did you know that Harry "hbomberguy" Brewis's Donkey Kong 64 stream - the one raising money for a trans charity, Mermaids, in the UK; the one that made saying "trans rights" and saying "trans rights are human rights" an internet-wide meme, normalizing and encouraging explicit statements of support for trans people during a time when we are fighting for our rights around the world - was literally only just last year?

Like, it was January 18 to 21, 2019.

I feel like it's worth remembering that good things have happened, are happening, and continue to happen.
