currently at $60/2088, hoping a few more people can chip in today to keep me on track towards saving up

$30/2088 My mortgage is due Sunday. My current job doesn't pay enough to cover it. While I look for a job that does pay enough, I need direct support to keep a roof overhead. I'm 'thiiirdperson' at Cashapp, Venmo, Paypal, and Kofi. Anything helps, including shares. Thank you so much! 🙏🏽❤️

what does it say about the national party that there are candidates running on the dem ticket buying ads saying that some people are technically subhuman without reprimand or even comment. would you abide that for any other group or is this one special

You can go ahead and tell that Duolingo owl that if a chest has 7 gems in it, he doesn’t need to waste my time making me click and doing animations about it and stuff. I’m good. It actually cost me more gems to watch that than I got from it.

This was a really great one! A real solid cross-section of the delights available in any given Genius Night: a deep dive on the Ringo Starr All-Starr band, an explainer of Kingdom Hearts lore, new Halloween bands, and my beloved wife explaining the horrors of modern ambient advertising.

Middle age is finding that all sorts of things you didn't value at the time--zines traded for, discography deep cuts downloaded from now-defunct mp3 blogs, hand-burned DVDs of gray market US releases with funsubs, master's degrees in 19th C American fiction--rapidly became One of the Only Ones Left.

None of the other grad students had other jobs. Many of them had NEVER had a job at all. I was a real goddamn novelty. Remembering the flush of shame when my favorite professor stumbled onto me building fixtures at 3 a.m. on third shift at the Super Wal-Mart and asked what I was doing there.

Ultimately vindicated in my not super well articulated belief at the time that the 19th C in America was mega important because we never really ended it. Even both world wars and the atomic bomb, it's all just runoff of the failures of Reconstruction and where slavery led. It was all there.

Gonna be payin that same 30 grand off forever, but at least I got to read Typee and McTeague while drawing a daily comic strip in a newspaper and working at a video store for a couple years. You should see how marked up my copy of Huck Finn is. My collected Walt Whitman looks like the Mentaculus.

Have I died more times in the platforming section of the St. Frangelico Cathedral in Lies of P than I ever did to the Radagon/Elden Beast combo? I’m sure it’s on Wikipedia in Heaven and I’ll get to read it some day

I'm old enough to remember all the people who insisted that what had to happen was Obama holding the people responsible for the 2008 crash and the Iraq War responsible, and we are all living with the fallout of Obama doing neither of those things

a woman is crumpled on the floor crying in the middle of a destroyed room. shattered vases, smoke coming out of the tv, nothing is spared. children cower in the corner. atop the ruins of an armchair sits marmaduke. the caption reads: "He's studying interior design!" but it isn't clear who's speaking

One of my late bills is for my kid's doctor. She has a visit on Friday and they're asking for me to pay up at least part of the balance or else they won't see her. Please support if you can and share if you can't.

There should be a City Boy version of Saw. Instead of robes, the jigsaw acolytes could wear old chore coats. One game could be staying in a freezing bath wearing selvedge denim. Kill a guy with the actual tractor used by the original owner of their carhartt jacket. Loopwheel someone's guts.

“Irony is a means of depriving the object of its reality in order that the subject may feel free….Irony is thus destructive and what Kierkegaard worries about a lot is that irony has nothing to put in place of what it has destroyed.” — Donald Barthelme, “Kierkegaard Unfair to Schlegel” (1970)

ok, yes. i used a little blood magic to make this potion. but in my defense, it's hard NOT to use blood magic these days. all the tomes and orbs are powered by it. blood magic is really a systemic issue. in a way i'm a hero for admitting i use it

it’s 1986 and David Cronenberg’s THE FLY climaxes with a flesh and viscera covered clump of wires and steel emerging from a pod SHINYA TSUKAMOTO: This better not awaken anything in me…

WinRAR Earle@tommchenry.bsky.social

sorry but making the brundlefly-telepod fusion suicidal regressively reinforces a narrow range of societally “acceptable” body types

It is funny that 86 was the year that Tsukamoto did actually literally quit his advertising job and get serious about making films again, leading to TETSUO, just sayin

Is Thomas Pynchon's "The Secret Integration" from 1964 also secretly a blueprint for Stephen King's It and thus the ancestor of 1980s kids on bikes stories/movies/TV shows? In this essay, I will
