i love meeting people who have a very cursory understanding of trans women and operate out of kindness based on the stereotypes they have absorbed and someone said “oh I like your wig“ to me today as if I went to the store asked for something in a older but not yet old woman on day 6 of a wash week

a lot of big, hard pieces on the state of things came out today, and I really loved and felt so much of this one from @tajjaisen.bsky.social

Directly to this, I had decent Interest from other publishers on a first book, but a lot of them wanted to tell me the kind of book they thought I should write. U Texas press asked me what I wanted to do and never tried to steer me into a “marketable” lane and the book was better for it

it's why I can never remember where my glasses are when I wake up.

Outside of how sad it is to see any workplace, especially one that is so publicly beloved for its internal culture and transparency, engage in union busting, this is such a good, thorough look at how workers try to unionize at places like this and is well worth a read

I think all dogs by default are dream eaters, and all cats steal one memory ever night

I love dogs, I have a dog, I think they should give you the same test they give to see if you’re a sociopath when you want to adopt one

Someone whose weird dog was off leash and bothering mine in the park told me to relax because “Gordon (somehow a dogs name) feeds off anger” and sorry but was your dog granted to you in a wish/curse scenario?

Was listening to besties this morning and when you guys were talking about being in NYC I had a moment of “wait does everything happen all at once?”

@nikostratis.comOct 9, 2026, 12:32 PM

I think the problem is we let the computer do too many things. When I was a kid the computer was only good for learning the home row and playing Sim City and that's where it should have ended.

I had so much fun talking to Eteng Ettah about Bob’s Burgers on her podcast Consider This For Comfort! You can hear the whole episode now wherever you do that!

@nikostratis.comOct 8, 2026, 6:54 PM

its so funny that she would have had to type "the one woman who is me or whatever says that hamas shot my parents dog" and then "in the other corner is a memorial for a different dead dog" into whatever dumb AI thing she uses to make this

@nikostratis.comOct 8, 2026, 1:01 PM

oh shit that's incredible actually

@nikostratis.comOct 8, 2026, 1:00 PM

Liz Phair was reportedly doing it too on that tour with Sleater-Kinney. I've been seeing this shit all over. I did a reading months ago with someone who included a slide show (none of the rest of us had visuals) that was all AI and no one said shit. We gotta start setting fire to these things.
