Bc of construction, our library had to empty a storage room--and discovered a BOX OF GUM scraped from tables, labeled, and stored 15+ years ago when we moved to this building, just waiting for discovery. I love a librarian playing a long game. #Library

I teach Western Civ. I love Western Civ. I don't understand how the white supremacists who think Western civ is better than other cultures or histories also think going to war with Europe--over Greenland--is a good idea. #Greenland

The doorbell rang unexpectedly tonight. My husband and I exchanged an alarmed glance and didn't answer. Less than a year from the best economy in the world and an enviable constitution to afraid to answer the door. #Trump

Hi hello, the Toronto Sun's email is torsun.editor@sunmedia.ca in case you'd like to inquire as to how they feel about their Ottawa Bureau Chief making these kinds of statements about innocent women being shot by militarized thugs in the street! Let's make his weekend extra fun :)

Uhuhuh does anyone know a place that may be interested in a short essay about the Indigenous field workers in the borderlands/Rio Grande valley during the early 1900s? Specifically rooted in my family.

If you or someone you know have been a victim of the sexualized deepfakes created by Grok and would like to discuss your civil legal options, DM me or reach out on Signal at riot.95. I can connect you with excellent free legal counsel.
Unless I'm missing something, and I'm pretty sure I'm not, Twitter's AI is cranking out CSAM deepfakes, Elon Musk is making jokes about it, and nobody is doing anything to stop it or hold anyone at Twitter accountable for its creation and distribution.
Is that right?

Out of curiosity, I just ran a few paragraphs from The Butchering Art through an AI checker and it got flagged: 88% AI. This book was released in 2017, and AI machines were subsequently trained off it. How many writers are getting flagged for AI because of the literal theft of their work(s)? Insane.
OMG - f*ck AI for ruining the em-dash for writers. I use them all the time. Of course, what a shock that AI uses them since they were trained off my voice and other authors' voices.
I'm a writer who has specifically been directed *not* to use em-dashes because "they mean it was written by AI." I can detect AI writing, but it is not simply a matter of the punctuation used.

Somehow my keyboard has switched from whisper mode to kind of clacky and I like it! Didn't know it had sound options and didn't know what I did to enable sound.
