I delivered a 1 hr keynote entirely in ASMR whisper (due to acute laryngitis) and it worked?

Much gratitude to the #AIIDE2025 audience, who really took on my interactive miro slides and made a happy pile of scribbles

92 - Bus Stop *

Bus stops must be easy to recognize, and pleasant, with enough activity around them to make people comfortable and safe.

Every so often im like “am i really demisexual” but then i saw someone posting about math, thought that was attractive, tried to figure out if their pfp was actually a picture of them and then thought “eh, doesn’t really matter they’re talking about math, thats hot”

Call me a reactionary but Im also ok with a large hat, if it has braid or a cool feather

Still has to say “mayor” though, Alex has it right.
I strongly believe that mayors should be required to wear a big sash that says “MAYOR” on it. In recent times mayors have forgotten that they serve we the people, and we want the sash

"Tzefardea Tzedek" (Frog of Righteousness)

As soon as the Portland Frog became a meme, Jewish social media blew up with jokes about the 2nd Passover plague - tzefarde'a (frogs) - and the Rabbinical commentary around it. I knew I had to make a calligraphy piece encompassing all of it. (more in alt.)

I've lately been obsessed with this app called StreetComplete. It gamifies contributing to OpenStreetMaps in by giving you you quests to do while you walk around. A fun way to get some steps in, to make you look closer at your environment and to do a good thing!
