Dreamt that I found and then rescued a tiny grey kitten - not allowed pets in my rental so I had to hide her, but uncharacteristically decided to break the rules.
Then in the parking garage a mini tiger (??) was walking around and it tried to eat her, so I shoved it with my leg & it ate my calf 😵💫 🤨

Before I go to sleep tonight, if you’re someone that thinks our Trans friends, family members, & fellow society members should be quiet about their experiences, their right to exist, and their existence in general,
…I think you’re a shitty human that values fake ‘peace’ over the needs of others

This should be illegal, it means Facebook*/Meta is recreating the voices of ALL of its users via AI?
Discovered today that Instagram had turned on (without my opt-in) automatic AUDIO translation of any reel that shows up in my feed not in English USING AI TO MIMIC THE SPEAKER’S VOICE and WOW it was creepy and upsetting.
You can turn it off in “Language & Translations” in Settings. 🙅🏻♀️

My autocorrect has been INCREDIBLY bad lately, a combination of learning a bunch of my slang and getting worse since they made changes?
Anyways, just sent ‘have a good. Uggggh’ to my brother instead of ‘have a good night’ because I didn’t catch it before I hit ‘send’
tempted to reset it..

If you live in the US, call your fucking representatives and tell them that repealing Section 230 is a horrible idea. If Section 230 is gone, you can kiss Bluesky goodbye.
Reminder that they're still trying to repeal section 230 (thereby making platform holders like bsky legally responsible for content posted by their users etc etc)
There is still a need for you to blow up your rep's phones on this if you enjoy being able to do things like "post" or "have an porn"

I grew up in a ‘holidays’ household (my mom ran a daycare and always decorated it) AND I love stationary and paper products, so that of course means I really love Vintage Valentines things.
These are a few in my collection 🤓 (that were most easy for me to access)

The way parents have been pushing back on divisive narratives and showing compassion for everyone impacted is a true show of community. It says so much about Tumbler Ridge.

Maya Gebala's parents are by the 12-year-old's side taking strength from well-wishers. They are urging Canadians to support Tumbler Ridge, B.C., shooting victims and to avoid politicizing the tragedy.

In incredible news, the European Parliament has voted overwhelmingly for "The Full Recognition Of Trans Women As Women."
Even the center-right European People's Party voted for the declaration.
It will form a foundation for their position at the UN Commission on the Status of Women.
