A gentle reminder that I cannot be reliably reached by DM because I am Australian and I'm never ever giving Albo my driver's license. Best way to get in touch is via the contact form on my website. meghantuten.squarespace.com

I think what Dexter has over all of the other sigma evil TV men from the Man Shows is that he's sooooo cringefail

I hope this isn't a controversial take but here's my vote.

I made the switch not too long ago and have been enjoying using Firefox again as my core browser. It still has AI features, but they are easy to find and disable (screenshot below).

We, internationally, need to do exactly what the Brazilians did and lead by example with: 1) Block all far right figures/accounts 2) Never share a far right account even to dunk on them 3) Never reply to a far right account even to dunk on them Completely cut their algorithmic advantage

Thank you, @headlinebooks.bsky.social, for sending me a copy of The Fairy Spotter’s Guide by @elizadearnley.bsky.social and illustrator Sarah J Coleman. A delightful field guide across the continents covering some of the most fascinating creatures in folklore, with eerily atmospheric illustrations.

One thing about the whole "you have to read books if you want to be an author" thing is that if you aim to do more than just genre inbreeding, you have to read stuff outside the genre you're writing, too. May even have to read [shudders] nonfiction.

Make art that's so self indulgent that somebody years later asks "Why did you need to do that"

oh would you look at that

I've never felt more honored and privileged then I did last night with the Far-Fetched crew. You're all so kind and wonderful! WE DID IT!!! I truly can't wait for you ALL to sink your pointy teeth into this beast! 🧡

Something I wish more people would realize.

Only 7 days left until Halloween! Here are 5 of our spoopiest and creppiest episodes to hype you up for spooky season: #audiodrama, #halloween

Do you ever think about how there's a kind of guy who genuinely engaged with Science Fiction as like... Stories whose entire purpose is to ask "what if your car was a doctor"? Just purely wish fulfillment what ifs about fake inventions and nothing narrative at all. Fucking incredible 

An actually unique outfit for Masked Duke! Miranda break out the sewing machine. Chop chop #residentevilvillage

We tried "everyone is entitled to an opinion" for three straight decades and all we have to show for it is four thousand cases of measles and a death cult running the government. It's time for people who don't know what they're talking about to shut the fuck up.

Guillermo Del Toro dropping another one liner that’s exactly how I feel about AI slop, the “punishment” is built in

Requiring everybody to use their full real name & location in all public comments would make a lot of women way more unsafe. So many men-commentators on 'society' don't consider that women often don't have the freedoms they take for granted. www.smh.com.au/national/i-b...

Turning to BlueSky to find a home for 9-month-old kitty, "Shoes", Baltimore/DC area. His rescuers would love to keep him but they and their toddler are all violently allergic; not even meds and air purifiers are helping. But they love Shoes and want him to find a good home. Deets: (1/5)

Must draw more big beasties 🐊🐾

With a stoic sigh, I update my "days since someone emailed me trying to see about being a guest on my fiction audio drama set in the dystopian future because they're trying to promote their new book" sign.

People also need to stop treating every pilot that isn’t film quality animation as if it’s poorly made

holy smokes, conan strikes up a chat with a random lady on the subway and she immediately starts riffing on his level, no problem.

Sharksploitation : es-tu plutôt Team Sharknado ou Team Cruel Jaws?🦈 Personnellement je n'suis pas fan du nanar "sapiens sapiens"

a cool thing about indie animation is that it's expected to save the entire industry, every show has to look better than the things the fans grew up on or it's a waste of time, there's no union to be found anywhere, no budget for any of it, and asking the audience to pay anything to watch is illegal

If you're not playing Banana Chan's games then you're not really playing TTRPGs at all

Some favourite artwork of mine showing deep-sea wildlife. At left, images from the Brooke Bond The Sea: Our Other World of 1974. At right, gatefold from the Time Life book The Sea, from 1963.

Countless people ran to help this good woman, Helen Haines, stabilised her & flew her to a bigger hospital, are caring for her now, rallying for comfort & support in her town. Little lights in the dark. Thousands of us who never met her are holding out hope for Helen & her loved ones. x

After the wedding reception all of Team WANA were crashing in the bridal suite in our PJs before splitting up to go to bed, and at one point Taqi walked in, without knocking, only wearing a bathrobe, said "the tubs in this hotel are fucking amazing by the way" then left. Sitcom neighbour behaviour.

Yesterday I had the joy of getting together with a bunch of family and friends to celebrate my wedding. Henry, I love you so much and I'm so happy that we're together. And thanks so much to @davidault.co.uk for officiating! 💜

Capitalism just rots everything it so much as looks at and im TIRED

my wedding is literally a the kingmaker histories episode when you think about it. henry and i show up dressed old timey and then david ault reads a monologue about today's themes and context. and addison and taqi are there.

Happy Dog Carcass in Alley Day to all who celebrate.

I missed #SaveTheVaquita Day! I forgot I had made a comic about these ages ago (so long that I had to check if the Baiji is still listed as 'possibly extinct' or just 'extinct' 😭) vaquita.day #Comics #Webcomics #Cetacean #Whales #Endangeredspecies #Conservation #Animalart #Sciart #NatureArt

NANCY BY ERNIE BUSHMILLER OCTOBER 12,1944

People telling me that having my livelihood eroded by AI is *my* fault for making art my career not my hobby is…. Well, it’s certainly something.

Reading Watchmen for the first time (don't know how I dodged it for this long) and unfortunately it exceeds the hype. It is actually That Good.

In case you might miss it - New Delhi, India’s capital, has been locked down, journalists, students, lawyers, activists are being detained, people are being house arrested, detained from INSIDE an airplane, AI cameras are tracking protestors; all because SOMEONE is scared of accountability.
