I am very torn up about GenAI, specifically as someone who specializes in visual storytelling. I was chatting about AI tagging features out of Adobe and, figured out how I feel about the whole situation. Thankfully @hankgreen.bsky.social made an adorable focus bean app to save us all.

Friends (esp if you live in CA) we REALLY need signatures on this petition supporting Bill AB412 - the AI Copyright Transparency Act.

TLDR = this will require AI corps to be transparent about what is in their datasets!

LAWNOWNERS IN LA
I've learned the hard way that the mantra "Kill Your Lawn" is a nuanced proposal if you have any intention of getting the "Turf Replacement Rebate" from LADWP.

Per my experience, my lawn was too dead to qualify since the rebate is incentivizing cutting active water use.

TIL, chia seeds are pure fiber! Why on earth were we growing chia pets with them in the 90s?

Bees don't know what the humans are doing. Featured flower is the matilija poppy native to southern California! Look out for them along the LA River in Frogtown!

Society is grim, but a path of healing for me has been gardening. In spring '22 Black Thumb Farm (a farming non-profit focused on bipoc youth in Los Angeles) had some spare CA native plants. I planted them in a vacant lot nearby my home and they've been thriving ever since!

I kept my word and cleaned up my drawing. Thank you @corybooker.com for using your vegan powers for good and rallying a response to all the horror we're facing as a nation

Five hours deep into the speech and he's still talking about healthcare!

Cory Booker is giving me the first feeling of resistance in 2025. 23.5 hours going he's showcasing the stamina veganism can power (a la Scott Pilgrim) to fight back against facism. I'd love to do a cleaned-up version of this soon.
