Steenz! @oheysteenz.bsky.social · Nov 7
When 45 won in 2016, I started a protest zine series called Take Comfort Take Care, filled with art, prose, and poetry of peoples feelings about the election. Until I consider if I want to do a redux for 2024, here's a link to the zines our community made. There's power in art.

You know what else sucks about ACA rn? Not only are premiums higher, but insurance companies are dropping out of it. I've gone through 3 companies in 3 years cuz they keep leaving. And so I'm forced into a high cost premium because it's the only company on the ACA that my hospital/specialists take.

With SNAP/EBT cuts looming I highly recommend downloading this app! Basically restaurants and other food businesses will have available bags of random food they don’t wanna waste for ppl to buy for hella cheap! This has saved me sooooo many times when I only have $5 and need some food.

The thing about these grindset lifestyle posts is that they're all fake. None of it is real.

SLICE was so good this year 😭
I was so nervous on opening night that I had acid reflux this morning and for no reason. It was a total success. Everyone I spoke to enjoyed themselves. I got emotional about the impact of community building and organizing. I'm just so proud. 😊

They gave us little 5.5 x 8.5 pages to type on and I instantly went "wait, let me fold this into eighths".
Then I just typed what came to mind. I think it turned out good!
(typos and errors fixed for alt text. All of this is written haphazardly on a typewriter) I have approximate knowledge of how a typewriter works from when I was a kid My dad had some kind of old spiderly machine and I loved to play with getting the keys all stuck in the middle when you press them at the same time. The limitations of a physical mechanism - all these little levers going to the same place. There is of course a joy in a physical mechanism and how its limitations drive from the actual physicality of the device itself. Form and function more close than we're used to now... For instance, I just spent like a billion years solving the simplest logic puzzle: how do I flip this paper so I can write upside down on this side of the page? The physicality of the paper and the tool of the typewriter carriage are both the puzzle and the solution. "Reading the card explains the card" but for the literal 3d space of the page and the machine. And I struggled on page 2 back there trying to type in the margin when the machine didn't want to let me. Got too close to the edge! The "squiggly red line" of the typewriter is it simply not letting you. There's no "right click, ignore" here. (this is in red) Oh ho ho I just found the red ribbon switch!! Very cool! THE VERY WORD OF GOD or whatever. I have jammed these keys quite a bit already hahaha. It's funny to see the ribbon jumping up to catch the lever before it hits the page. It's more dramatic for the red, which is at the bottom of the two-color ribbon. Also note: I have finally found the apostrophe (it is on top of the 8 key, of course) I still have yet to find the numeral one though! Is it a lowercase L? (back cover) I remember more than I thought I would when placed in front of a new typewriter again. I'm happy to have been able to revisit the memory! :) xoxo Taterdash

You don't have to judge Columbus by the standards of today. His tenure as governor of Hispaniola was so horrific that he was dragged back to Spain in chains to answer for his many crimes.

Plus he never set foot on any land that would ever be a part of the United States of America.

For months I've been following what happened when a company forced AI into the world of craft beer. Legal threats, people quitting, and beer judges in revolt over being told to use AI.

What Happened When AI Came for Craft Beer
A prominent beer competition introduced an AI-judging tool without warning. The judges and some members of the wider brewing industry were pissed.

Why is a class action lawsuit against Amazon alleging Prime Day is a scam getting zero coverage by mainstream media?

Could it be because media outlets get a cut when a customer purchases a Prime Day product when clicking through their featured deals?

UPDATE: Lawsuit alleges Prime Day is a fraud
The federal class action lawsuit has been ignored by major media outlets, which continue to promote Prime Day deals.
