I should probably say hello to my new followers.
Wave wave.
I’m an artist.
I paint pet portraits and other stuff.
I live in Arkansas. I have a three year-old granddaughter.
One kid.
One husband, we’ve been over 40 years which is RIDICULOUS.
Two dogs.
One elderly cat.

Folks might not know a lot of people are getting *very* upset that the materials they request are not available in the libraries/archives they're requesting from.
We're getting lots here at the Library of Virginia: requests of documents likely surfaced by large language models that *do not exist*.

I'm in trouble at home again for framing the fall of Lucifer as a labour dispute.
Apparently it's fine in my head, but shouldn't be expressed in front of children.

Bari Weiss has a CBS town hall set with Erika Kirk, widow of Charlie Kirk.
If you want to attend, you're asked a series of questions on an online form.
The first question is: “Do you consider yourself a conservative? If so, why?”

4 Dec: Old lore tells that when Mary gave birth, the stable was bitterly cold. With no dry logs, a shepherd cut fresh ash wood. Green wood should not burn, yet the logs blazed. Folk say that’s why ash, however green, still burns brightly, and brings us welcome warmth to this day.

In America, we don’t let cashiers sit. It’s the dumbest thing in the world. And this is an issue in all kinds of retail shops/grocery stores where people should be able to sit while they do some parts of their job. If being able to sit was just normal, I would still be working.

I already responded to this once, but another point that I think is just so important for currently abled folks to understand is that if something needs to be changed so that disabled people can use it, it wasn't made correctly from the beginning. Universal access isn't just for physical structures.
Balancing "no person with a disability should be denied accommodations" with "it's important to discourage non-disabled people from pretending to be disabled to take advantage of these accommodations" is really difficult and I don't have a great answer for what anyone should do about it.
