An outdoor outlet in our Kentucky house had this going on; I reached in to plug something in, and felt a sharp shock. Reached in again and same thing; I thought oh no it's an electrical problem!! Then I squatted to look at it closely, and realized I was being repeatedly stung by wasps

Responded to a recruiter who did not read my LinkedIn with:

"I hate that company, and would rather chew on a lightbulb than even speak to someone from there."

There are TENS OF THOUSANDS of experienced #videogame people searching for a job, why bother the guy who retired from it in 2016?

A lot of the aesthetics of The Wizard of Oz by L Frank Baum is a convergence of a few things, specifically the milieu that produced the Columbian World Exposition of 1893 and innovations in the use of colored lights on window displays in shops. Baum was a window-dresser before he was an author.

I understand the pull of doomerism but I'll also point out that "red-state" organizers and activists have been living under, and resisting/rebuking, many and various forms of oppression for a long time and should be considered leaders in this moment. Like I said back in 2017:

Mask bans are spreading. It's all about law enforcement, their network of surveillance cameras, and facial recognition software. They don't give a shit about public health. The police state is all that matters. And of course the rightwing "mah freedoms!" crowd hates masks more than life itself.

Had a dream last night that I was directing The King in Yellow as a school play and honestly it was so fun (i woke up in the middle of explaining to the class that “horror for the patriarchy is equal rights for women so let’s do this as a feminist horror piece”)

There’s obviously a stylistic connection between manga & ukiyo-e art, but it’s much more direct than that. Ukiyo-e art was falling out of fashion in Japan JUST when the magazine industry was kicking off, and they LITERALLY hired ukiyo-e artists to draw the first cartoons for these magazines.

Mary, Mother of Jesus is often portrayed in blue garments - with the colour associated with purity. However it dates back to Renaissance painters using blue pigment made from Lapis Lazuli - then more expensive than gold - to indicate her high status. Renaissance viewers would have understood this.

Understand also that, in the places where you *are* welcomed, a great deal of that has to do with the dollar in your pocket (ie: American economic imperialism) and the sound of your voice (ie: American cultural hegemony).

Scavengers Reign is achingly human and indifferently alien, tender and brutal, beautiful and terrifying. A synthesis and something more than the sum of its parts. Incredible television. You owe it to yourself to check it out.

I cannot overstress how good this is. Ancient Apocalypse is a thinly rebranded Ancient Aliens and promotes some seriously racist trash ideology. Ancient lost super civilizations are fun for #TTRPG #WorldBuilding, less fun for IRL indigenous peoples.

I started my career reporting on how people were using the Internet in dictatorships, and if there's one BIG thing I learned from talking to a bunch of people who literally had served jail time for political blogging, it was "choose your battles wisely, and don't say dumb things in dumb places."
