If you want to push back against tech's encroachment into every corner of our lives, you have to read books. They're eager to create a future in which most people are illiterate and hooked on slop, a world without imagination or knowledge. Reading is resistance.

I just bought my 6 year old a dictionary. Does this make me a Luddite in these crazy times? 📚
I refuse to use any generative AI shite and cannot stand the idea of the likes of Alexa, Google Home, or even a ring doorbell.
In more positive ludditisms, I recently bought a whetstone to learn to properly sharpen my own knives and axes #apocalypseskills

I made a batch of pumpkin chocolate chip cookies that are sugar free, gluten free and egg free. They taste shockingly good considering all the alterations.

Happy Sea Otter Awareness Week! 🦦
Sea otters’ paws are incredible tools, thanks in part to their semi-retractable claws and Libby’s got paws made for action! 🐾 Full of energy and curiosity, she loves showing off during training sessions.

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA
