Listen I needed to find a reason why my machine kept jamming and then I ended up learning there are models where you can drop the feed dog. Imagine that!!! I want a model like that! Honestly I might think about picking up a physical copy because it had all these awesome diagrams AND how

Bury Your Gays
This is an AWESOME takedown of rainbow capitalism and AI in creative spaces. Chuck Tingle has always been a stellar writer, but holy shit, this is fantastic. It really leans into a paranormal angle at first, and it’s definitely along the lines I was thinking, but the execution turned the expected turnout into something more.

Welcome to the Menagerie.
Here is where M logs their media activity. Partly because Goodreads is forgettable and keeping physical logs is harder. Sometimes M writes a lot. Sometimes M doesn’t write enough. It doesn’t matter. This is just a for-fun little blog so that M can remember what they thought about whatever they watched or read or played or. Whatever.
What is M?
I read. Voraciously. I have subscriptions to those book things on digital retailers. I consume books at nearly all hours. The hours I don’t spend reading? I’m writing. I’m drawing. I have a problem. I have a problem in that I love to read things that are in the same vein repeatedly. Book journals don’t work and as much as I text my friends screenshots of book passages, it doesn’t scratch the itch. Now I’m going to be doing… tiny… tiny book reports.
