Don't forget that Zohran Mamdani spent his entire campaign standing proudly beside the trans community. He went to trans rights rallies just to show support. He proudly waved trans rights flags without hesitation. He refused to back down in support of trans rights. That makes me happy.

I haven't been a real keen watcher of Critical Role outside of a couple episodes here and there — but there's something about Campaign 4 that's keeping me so rapt 👀
Maybe I should also start watching D20...

if you're in Alberta and you want your flu and covid shot in 2026 - yes you read that correctly - you have to preorder them right now. So here's the link. go do that. Just in case none of those people get removed from power by then.
please repost this, as the province seems bent on killing us.

Guess how many scatter brushes were used in the making of this?

I know it feels useless to throw money at a problem but, it's a stopgap in the interrim for people who just have no other option right now. it DOES keep them going, it does work.
This war has to end, scream at your reps but in the meantime, send a venti coffee's worth their way?

If you are Canadian, call the Department of Global Affairs between 830AM-430 PM EST. Use this script. Demand they open the border. You don't have to talk directly to anyone. Leave a voicemail, use the script in the second image or use your own words. Alt Text provided.
![Phone Call Script
"Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening
My name is [name] email phone number, I am a Canadian citizen and a concerned constituent. I am calling because I am heart broken and outraged by the deliberate, systematic starvation of Palestinians in Gaza.
Right now, children are dying of hunger. Families are boiling water with salt just to survive. Over half a million people are facing catastrophic food insecurity - This is not a famine caused by nature, it is a man-made famine, intentional act of cruelty. Since the blockade in March of 2025, 57 children have already died of malnutrition-related causes, and nearly 71,000 children under five are projected to develop acute malnutrition.
Canada cannot stand by. This is a matter of human decency and international law. I am urging you to publicly demand an immediate end to the use of starvation as a weapon in Gaza. I am asking you to push for unimpeded access for food, water, and humanitarian aid and to use every diplomatic and political tool Canada has, including at the UN and with allies, to pressure Israel to lift its siege and allow aid in NOW.
Canada has a moral and legal obligation to act. Please don't let silence become complicity.
Thank you"](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:iqmpxeruup2ss44l6gqlu6hr/bafkreiflzsztytg5tm5cdx6ryo2j7tmrek3mzb2wihmrm6aka2lnhi6pi4@jpeg)

The only viable use cases of AI - even at today's massively subsidized price points - are to scale up scams, grifts, cheating, plagiarism, and carelessness.
Which makes sense - 80% of everything is shit, which includes training data. AI is trained on slop, so it makes (lower resolution) slop.

And, yeah, all of these issues are inherent in how we mismanage software development already. What Large Language Models are doing is magnify the flaws in our already inadequate approach to making software

One side effect of having a Dropout subscription is it can lead you to having Seal's "Kiss from a Rose" loop endlessly in your head to the point of madness

Here's a sample of what you can make with Figma Draw! Texture really helps to make things less flat and more fun #Config2025

Ok now that the cat's out of the bag — I was an early alpha tester for Figma Draw and it was very hard to keep this a secret
I hope y'all enjoy Texture and Progressive Blur as much as I do, among several other things
