ive had procreate for a week and i am already better than chatgpt

fyi this is me. a brief window of no spinning circle. pls reply to me below (@katcataclysm.bsky.social as I'm mostly shut out of this account... thanks!

💸💕 Please help angel. it's $75/day to stay in a motel. Homelessness is expensive and they're only 50 from a roof for the night. 10 people with 5 dollars could house a couple for the night.

Getting rid of the side of myself that feels shame and learning to embrace cringe (I’m using Gundam screenshots for my colour theory assignment)

roll that beautiful bean footage

Y'all I was looking at 3d printers and I saw this and idk if anyone is brainrotted in the exact same way as I am but I thought this was something else entirely

my most conspiracy brained thought right now is “ai slop isn’t just out there to make number go up for people who are already rich, it doubly serves the purpose of lowering the availability of useful information transmission in a fascist state”

So awkward my shoulders are up to my neck with cringe and what in German is called Fremdscham. That’s Charlie Kirk‘s widow and JD.

update on Big Man Eggs: - fever gone! -downgraded from full dose meds 3x/day to 1/2 dose 2x/day - he ate 1/2 a can of high cal. wet food + kibble (he ate basically nothing but churu for the last week) - surgery is a definite unless the antibiotics are magic. - it's purr + biscuit hour

happy halloween i made this

Genuinely interested to see if Meta will turn out to have been the first casualty of a newly bursting AI bubble.

JKR and her ‘Gender critical’ transphobe minions are in meltdown that women’s magazines are calling out their bigoted lobbying! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

“Graham Linehan, the trans-obsessed and once successful British television writer and producer, admitted in court this week that, yes, he did grab the phone of an 18-year-old transgender teen and toss it across the street outside an event in London.”

just two puppies reunited for halloween 🐶🎃🐶

Munroe Bergdorf, Bel Priestly and Shon Faye among nine trans icons honoured at GLAMOUR Women of the Year Awards 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 “Chosen by the publication amid a rise in anti-trans legislation, pressure groups, and right-wing politicians… it is more important than ever to highlight the affected voices”

say what you want about those Vance and Erika Kirk photos, I am trying to find out where to get those leather pants. also based on those images if they're not having sex, they sure want to.

Yeah so this is not a ceasefire. A ceasefire is where everyone ceases firing.

Reposting helps SO MUCH So definitely repost your fave artists & creators 🥺💙

Representatives from the EHRC said “we are not the ‘gender critical’ transphobes you are looking for”… 😆 The Times, the bigoted transphobes, and the infiltrated EHRC are all in meltdown because their relentless, obsessive anti-trans scheming hasn’t gone as they hoped! 😝 Next, bullying litigation!

“We celebrate the networked world for the many ways in which it enriches our capabilities and prospects, but it has birthed whole new territories of anxiety, danger, and violence as the sense of a predictable future slips away.” — Shoshana Zuboff The Age of Surveillance Capitalism

why do they call it good times when you time good the weak mans time strong good weak the times

Asked about her flip-flop on same-sex marriages, Nancy Mace’s campaign press secretary Piper Gifford emailed me, “As the loudest and proudest transphobe in Congress, Nancy Mace will never stop pointing out the fact that there are only TWO genders.” ??? www.advocate.com/politics/nan...

I’m so proud of her. When I teach the confessions rule, I have a slide reading: “People still haven’t learned not to talk to police, so I have to teach this.”

queuing DPS to distract myself from the excruciating pain of existence with the yet worse pain of sucking at #overwatch

I simply reject the idea that it's okay to be a bigot to a bigot. I reject the idea that it's okay to be monstrous to a monster. Not only is that kind of "eye for an eye" thinking deeply carceral, it's also anathema to the idea of basic human rights. Either everyone has them or no one does.

🙃🙃🙃 Fuck being the bigger person.

Why did it take nearly a week for Vermont State Police to launch a search for missing Middlebury College student and former trans athlete Lia Smith?

if someone with design skills wants to help me whip these up for chicago, i’m happy to do the text but have absolutely no visual art/design/layout skills

refusing to retweet a good post because the posters display name is a reference to a book that sucked

MY MOTHER SAID THAT G-DDAMNED LINE EVERY FUCKING DAY

which both the amazon and indie booksellers have to use because indie bookstores also pay shit wages

It's a Halloween eve double feature! First up, episodes 3 and 4 of Dispatch! Then, Silent Hill 2! GET IN HERE twitch.tv/radiodeadair

I am finally watching the Love Is Blind reunion, and it’s really neat that Megan had a baby with Mr Clean

I turned around and saw someone squinting at me.

Google, I would rather eat wet, hot radioactive dog dirt 👍

It's like hypocrisy is their meat and potatoes.

am i supposed to have heard of the lady who kat abughazaleh hung up on

It's kinda surreal that I noticed this, but for a party that absolutely loathes sex workers and porn, I cannot help but notice the aesthetic choices of Kristy Noem are stylized like a lot of mainstream porn actresses. It's a distinct style.

3 unvaccinated patients, 2 in LA and 1 in Long Beach, were hospitalized in apparently unrelated cases whose viral samples are genetically linked. “It’s a signal that somewhere, this virus is moving among us,” Dr. Demetre Daskalakis told me. He urges vaccination. www.advocate.com/news/severe-...

Not going to boost her numbers but Tara Palmeri pulling gotcha bullshit on Kat Abughazelah in an interview and then acting surprised that she signed off is total bs.

heterosexuality and homosexuality aren't real everyone is bisexual all sexuality is actually just anxiety havers and anxiety chasers

Not going to boost her numbers but Tara Palmeri pulling gotcha bullshit to Kat Abughazelah and then acting surprised that she signed off is total bs.

"Why can't Kat talk to Tara if she's innocent?" Let me tell you a brief true story. A while back I represented an elderly woman who had been stopped by cops. The cops decided to search her car, and Old Lady consented. She accidentally stepped on a cop's foot getting out of the car.

Huh. There are differences between the printed Fox translation I have and the one on Sefaria. The print book has what I think we can call a mistranslation in Genesis 15:16, saying “punishment” where “iniquity” or similar term makes a lot more sense.

Same I am gonna watch so many movies!

PONTYPOOL (2008) Well I only did it for one Halloween but it made an impact

Without saying Halloween, Name your fav film to watch on Halloween.

This is like an anti-Choitner.

it's canis latrans-phobic that there's not a coyote emoji tbh

Wowww, Abraham called his nephew his “brother.” And I hear Abraham even his real name. Cancel him!

We have less than two days until Nov 1. Give, volunteer, and spread the word.

Much as I hate the monarchy, this is a bit fascinating considering history. I can't remember anything like this happening in modern times. The only other thing I can think of is Edward VIII, only he didn't abdicate in disgrace (only scandal) and he still retained several titles.

I'm fine with aggressively spreading the rumor that JD Vance and Erika Kirk are fucking. What do I care

All of my incredibly cool ceramics with swear words on them come from an artist in Scotland and this seems really on brand.

At first I thought this was a urinal.

Fuck monarchies, seriously, but also FUCK YOU ANDREW YOU SKEEVY PIECE OF SHIT BWAHAHA.

When you don't understand how the legal system works, don't want to understand how the legal system works, and think that's okay because it's all so complicated and maybe we'll abolish or reform it one day anyway,

me talking about the characters i write

I discovered there's a dramatized adaptation of the first Dresden Files novel. At first I was like THIS ISN'T JAMES MARSTERS I HATE IT Now I'm an hour in and I'm like THEY NEED TO DO THIS TO ALL THE OTHER BOOKS

Oofta. Long day. Okay, getting cleaned up and then stream! Dispatch, then Silent Hill 2!

So important to not forget both what happened + what the prevailing feelings were while it was happening: OP was hardly alone, but this kind of reflection/memory and accountability is absolutely crucial. This, much more than being right, is the sign of a trustworthy comrade and friend

This is NOT a "Katie Porter moment." Any attorney worth their salt will tell a client NOT to comment in detail about pending litigation, ESPECIALLY when it's criminal. Being angry that someone won't endanger their freedom for your interview is fucked up. And frankly, she handled it quite gracefully.

JD Vance offs the Pope and then offs Charlie Kirk and fucks his wife, like I’m gonna be honest, I didn’t think he had it in him!

jake tapper? the C tier shitposter from early bluesky? hadn't seen any bangers from his account in the last two years and kinda assumed he died or something

Shout out to everyone else who shows affection by biting the shit out of your people.

Oh, Buzz Aldrin didn't land on the moon? Then explain why he's friends with Optimus Prime.

down at the laundromat this morning and people have started leaving bags of groceries there for anyone who needs them- mutual aid, u love to see it

@birderk.bsky.social magpie or crow? I think crow? Halp???

2 for 1 for the UK media with this one

Just finished recording the latest podcast episode! The final chapter of the Gender Clinic Series. Thank you to @clairestranstalks.bsky.social for putting together all this data. And it was fantastic working with @wearequeeraf.com in getting the story out there too!

This is awful and also reminding me that I (someone not on SNAP but who used to be poor and is perhaps a wee bit triggered by the political instability of late) have more than a month's worth of food in the house in case something happens to stop food being widely available and cheap.

BEHOLD VOIDUS CHONKUS. Gorgeous.

Name 2 Unrelated Horror Films for a Double Feature.

Few know of Badenoch's crime, she should definitely keep this all up

Zelda Williams! Robin's daughter. She has Dad's quirky sense of humor.

This hasn't got as many RTs as it should have. Tons of lawyers here who might be interested or know someone who would be - let's get it a bit more reach okay?

We’re just two friends…. Two good friends…….. two *best* friends….

especially now that shit is just. shit

Another day another deleted account. Damn bluesky. Please help chuffed.org/project/saha...

It's been a long time since I wrote about the New York Times, which is good in a lot of ways, but it does take away from the extreme sport aspect of my journalism where I know if I get something wrong I'm finished for good.

I'm copping Rory's latest and urge everyone who's able to do the same

Following the Resignation of Ryan Walters, the Oklahoma schools chief who was a fan of Libs of TikTok, mental health is improving among young people in the state. Who could have seen this coming? www.advocate.com/news/ryan-wa...

It's shocking that the Times (of London) printed quotes without confirming that the person they contacted was really the person they were trying to reach. Bill de Blasio, whose name was smeared due to their journalist's malpractice, blames right-wing bias and failing standards, and he's right.

Mildly insulted that they only stole two NYMag videos that I worked on, and they weren't even interesting ones

Phoned my 91yo granny, who loved the Queen, to tell her about Andrew. She's very happy.

if i needed cultural consultation on early 20th century jewish-american community/yiddish stuff, who could i ask?

another day, another garbage Widow throwing my games #overwatch

im glad i have therapy today im feeling terrible

Nothing like a spontaneous service of compline cobbled together by six trans people with access to a single tea light and a random tattered bible.

The worst part of anything Nanotyrannus has always been the personalities. We got some cool science today but it sucks to see quotes from an bully, and a man who helped create the commercial vs academic tension that’s sent many relevant fossils to private collections, doing the “I was right” circuit

The way the guys in "Billions" would just... have billions? Brilliant. Simple, elegant, brilliant.

This would be hilarious if it weren't completely disgusting

No this is Cinder! She's bigger than Coal now.

trans people have been yelling about this for years *I* have been yelling about this FOR YEARS and still the general cis response has been 🤷‍♂️ this will kill trans kids and it’s the next step to making all trans existence impossible and illegal do you understand the magnitude of what’s going on?

if any of you care

And for a brief moment, 80s dinosaur books and documentaries became slightly more accurate again.

for the thousandth time …
