…well they almost did when they acquired figma but they were let off with a slap on the wrist because of course they were. that's always how it ends here. they never face any real consequences because the lobbyists always stand behind them

We need to pay more bills and more rent.

Living in the city is expensive but we’re stuck here for now.

The job market’s thawing a little, hopefully not much longer until I land something.

speaking of monopolies: adobe creative cloud. deceptive design has no place in the art world (or the world in general). no idea how they haven't been hit with the antitrust hammer yet

i think amazon web services and cloudflare should be considered monopolies just as much as big tech

it should not be that when a single service provider goes down, it takes half the fucking internet with it

at the same time, there's not really a logistical solution that works for most folks considering it's extremely hard to do all the backend and have to maintain it yourself

As a (queer) cis man, I honestly think _everyone_ should think about what their gender means to them, and how they express it.

I've thought a lot about masculinity — what makes it toxic, or anti-toxic, or positive — and how that applies to myself, not just how I act but how I feel in my body. And I think because I've thought about that, I've had moments of gender euphoria. Of feeling right in my body and my presentation and all of that. Not just being okay with it, not unthinking acceptance, but legit euphoria.

More cis people need to do the work so they can feel that, because they'd finally understand some fraction of what gender means to people who have had to confront it, with whatever results.

immediately brought year zero to mind. and i know full well nine inch nails really just took elements from various dystopian novels but the way they executed it sticks out most, especially in the wake of such rampant fascism reaching a fever pitch here. recommended reading tbh

(though i should warn you that one of the websites linked in exhibit 24 contains pictures of someone cutting their arm to remove a "neurochip")
