Very similar format to Phaenna's Cosmoboard.

I've a lot of feelings surrounding generational poverty but the most gnawing in online social groups is opting out of most things because you're poor and the shame surrounding it.

Hell I've even turned down fully paid trips IRL because... I don't want friends to look down on me.

Wondering if it's worth it to postulate that expert openers depend if a mission has miracle material or not.

If miracle material, I feel reflect is best due to condition weaving. If no miracle, muscle memory may be better for 'softer' openers without conditions.

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:
Just a quick update from the Twin Cities. (Please forgive the unsolicited message). THINGS ARE NOT BETTER IN MINNEAPOLIS. The media is mostly moving on, Trump is focused on other stuff, BUT NOTHING HAS CHANGED ON THE GROUND. More than 2,000 DHS thugs continue to roam the streets, abducting people 24/7, assaulting legal observers with impunity, and routinely denying 1st, 4th, and 5th amendment rights. Drones and helicopters are overhead every day. Hundreds and hundreds of terrified families have not left their homes since mid-December ... relying on the community to bring them food and help with rent and other necessities. (Those people are NOT violent drug cartel sex offending murderers, as DHS would tell you. Most are legal residents or citizens.) If anything, things have just become more stressful and intractable (think trench warfare as a suitable metaphor): The resistance is better organized and numerous, but DHS has become more clever and better at disguise... and the county sheriff's office is increasingly supporting them . Do not let anyone tell you that Homans (the new person in charge of the occupation) is making anything better. Do not let anyone tell you that 700 ICE agents leaving the city has made much of a difference; the remaining force (again, ~2,000) is still larger than the entire city's police force (which is legally unable to do anything). Please call your congressional reps ... especially if there is any chance the administration might listen to them.

Gin: What do you see? A forest or a mountain? I wasn't sure honestly as I painted as I am with most of these.

This is acrylic paint on mixed media.
#Abstract #Acrylic #Animinimal-Art
A traditional painting on mixed media white paper. It is framed in a rectangle with four individual white space lines to make a sort of window like visage to the painting. The painting itself is a color gradient of pink to blue to orange of a setting sky overhead with black shadows dotting the blue and orange landscape to perhaps make a forest or mountain scape. White flecks of paint is dotted across the canvas.

I won't talk much of Iron Lung since I don't want to spoiler it but honestly I just wanted to say that I am rarely captivated by a movie these days and honestly I was at the edge of my seat at all times with anticipation.

Felt that with the movie Good Boy too.
I want more movies like these.

A color photograph of an abandoned truck reclaimed by nature. The photo details rusted metal as green foliage tears through the front and side of the truck. The windows are down so spiders and other bugs could make their homes in them. Decaying seats and steering wheel is shown. Text on screen reads Animinimal photography.

I’m not arguing with no account defending AI. My grandmother lives in an area being environmentally compromised currently by an ai data center. I remember the color of the lake before they built it and the sludge I see in it when I go to see her. Shut the fuck up about “the benefits of AI” forever.
