Working for $12/hour in retail is not what I had hoped to be doing in my 40s, but I am doing my best.

The number of children injured or killed by cars while walking or riding a bike has fallen steadily since the 1970s, but CDC researcher note that this decline is not because streets are safer, but because fewer kids are out and about in the first place.
Kids need freedom. Dangerous roads make it hard to grant it.
Bigger cars, distracted drivers and worried parents mean fewer kids are roaming freely.

NEW: We filed a public comment opposing the Department of Health and Human Services’ attempt to exclude immigrant families from vital services like Head Start and community health centers.
Arbitrarily denying people access to these programs is cruel and unlawful.

Fucking perverts the lot of them. Remember this whenever you hear talk about AI in schools. Anyone who promotes AI, remember this shit.
The Rs are blaming LGBTQ teachers and librarians for 'grooming' kids when in reality it's gonna be the AI and it's gonna be even worse than we can imagine.

New job starting Saturday! It's just a part time thing at a discount store, but it has been so much easier for me to find work in NC than it was in TX.
Also starting my phlebotomy class tonight, here's hoping I have the stomach for it.

I've been thinking a lot about how I really hate the implication that AI skeptics are luddites because most of the AI skeptics I know are relatively tech savvy while the biggest AI champions I know can barely use email
Funny how when it comes to AI people are all "adapt or be left behind" but when it comes to remote work the same people insist that things must go back to how they were at all cost.

Please tell your kids, every damn day if necessary, that chatGPT is not a goddamn search engine and you shouldn’t believe a word it says. Tell the adults too, but it’s especially imperative to inoculate kids against this

post like you're gonna hear it read back to you in a strange stilted cadence by a federal prosecutor with no sense of humor.
This is your recurring reminder that you shouldn’t say stuff on public social media that would look really bad if security forces printed it out and knocked on your door to discuss it at midnight.
If you believe, as I do, that we are entering very dangerous times, please start acting accordingly.
