Hey Bay Area, spend your spring Saturdays off your phone and with....me! Me, badgering you to write!

I'm back at the San Francisco Creative Writing Institute, starting next month:

If you are wondering what words the all-male Congress found so "blasphemous" that they felt compelled to literally scrape them off the monument, they were: ''Woman, first denied a soul, then called mindless, now arisen, declared herself an entity to be reckoned.''
On this day in 1921, Congress reluctantly accepted a sculpture memorializing women’s 19th A victory. Congress relegated the memorial to the Capitol’s crypt & painted over the feminist inscription. The statue stayed entombed in the crypt for 76 years. The inscription is still not restored. #WeTheMen

Medieval (Byzantine) art historian hive mind:

An Ethiopian Miracle of Mary describes the making of gold paint for an illuminated manuscript and says a Byzantine man appearing in a dream, crushing a "white, gleaming stone" into the gold paint to make it shine.

Any ideas what that substance is?

“Severance” me hace pensar en lo que habría ocurrido si Franz Kafka, David Lynch y el Thomas Ligotti de “My Work Is Not Yet Done” (2002) hubieran tenido una reunión de trabajo a deshoras en unas oficinas corporativas. Estamos ante una de las mejores distopías de la actualidad.

Was talking to someone today about how I avoid depression. This is how I think about my own problems- just a small mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam. Nearly nothing I do actually matters in the big scheme of human history. I try to be kind and helpful, but it’s all mostly inconsequential from here

They're at it again! They read Philip K Dick stories where you have to argue with your toaster to get bread or neogtiate on price with your apartment door to open and think, "Yes, this is cool! This is the work that I will devote my life to!"
(5/11) Walmart, Whole Foods, and Kohls are switching to electronic shelf labels that can display dynamic prices. Kroger deployed them with Microsoft AI—a setup a 2024 Senate inquiry warned could enable “surge pricing” via facial recognition. (Kroger claims it will only lower prices.)

This is why the Spirit Awards matter. Love to see them recognize a fine film the Academy snubbed.

In this case, we are lucky - it does not." x.com/HackingDave/...

This is interesting: Bluetooth scanning by helicopter to look for kidnap victim Nancy Guthrie's pacemaker, which is believed to be in BLE advertising mode.

One of the very few mixCDs I actually created a digital playlist for - this has kept me company for decades now. DJ RedNikki was a DJ friend that would play at the Black Cat goth/industrial night in DC, and she gave this to me in 1997. music.apple.com/us/playlist/...

Most of the time my nerve damage is absolutely imperceptible. Other times, I can barely walk because I cannot feel my foot and leg. Brains are weird. Foot dystonia is frustrating.

This was the end game of the Telepathy Tapes.
“We’ve fought so hard to protect our community, but they want to experiment on us. We are guinea pigs. When you are autistic, like me, and a mother to autistic children, I see this as a way to end us. That's what it is.” autism activist Fiona O'Leary

Deepak Chopra reached out to Epstein to solicit funding for Dr. Diane Hennacy Powell's telepathy experiments with autistic children, which eventually became the Telepathy Tapes.
February 3, 2026 at 10:07 PM
Of course Deepak Chopra was asking Jeffrey Epstein to fund telepathy experiments on autistic children, including experiments using “erotic or other emotional stimuli.” These men are the reason we have diabolical and insidious pseudoscience like the telepathy tapes. www.msn.com/en-us/health...

My trouble trait: becoming depressed when someone proudly gives me a gift that proves that the gift-giver has profoundly misunderstood me.

The *vast majority* of people who work at Meta today are people who willingly chose to work at the company after it directly enabled a genocide, according to multiple independent global human rights organizations, including Amnesty International. It is a warehouse for psychopaths.
This company is so uniquely toxic and awful.
Meta's plan for launching glasses that people can use to secretly identify strangers on the street is to do it "during a dynamic political environment" when people who care about why that's bad are "focused on other concerns."

A thread of a baby seal being born, having its first swim, and generally being a delight!
I saw a live birthed harbor seal pup for the first time in my life today. I thought it would be horrifying because I have a weak stomach, but it turned to UNGODLY CUTE very fast!

Using this thread for some moments in the minutes after. All shot on my z8, edited on phone for now. 🦭 🦑
