Lover of nature, science, literature, art, music and all things that lift people rather than trying to crush them under an oppressive boot. I post positive reminders, share the beautiful places I live and visit, and some of the art/textiles I am making.

Hey BlueSky Buddies. I drew my green-cheeked conure Bobo Verde and he has a message for you. Remember your worth!
The day after signing a contract with Paramount Global, they ended a fantastically brutal episode making fun of the orange man…. with this amazing AI of him with a tiny talking penis. Thank you South Park. I salute you.

I 100% recognize where the reference is from. I 1000% think we need to stop saying things like this and start normalizing things like “the disgusting old men” instead of continuing to use misogynistic based language. Change the language, change the world.

Musk’s team was caught using a customized version of the Grok chatbot, without approval, to sift through sensitive government data inside the Department of Homeland Security. They used a modified version in an attempt to hide the fact that they were doing it.

Finished my “Yellowstone” hat from Knitting the National Parks by Nancy Bates. I used KnitPicks “Swish” I had in my stash instead of spending money on new yarn.

Ok. The only diff I noticed crossing each direction last wkend was the lack of lines. Same basic questions. ProTip: have your passport out and ready. Take off your hat and sunglasses before you pull up and unroll your windows so they can see in. Answer the questions politely and don’t add anything.
I’m not a lawyer or anyone really “special” but am going to Canada and back in a couple weeks for Mother’s Day. I’ll post what differences I notice from normal past crossings when I’m back.

We hadn’t won World War II by May 8th. I know because my family and I were still in an internment camp in Tule Lake, California.

I think all businesses should list the costs of tariffs. It’s only fair that people know what taxes they’re paying.
I want retailers to list the costs added by tariffs. Do you ?

Am I the only one getting tired of everyone, giving T full credit for Carney’s win? The Canadians who voted for the good of the country deserve that credit. You don’t laud a natural disaster, you recognize the heroic actions of the people who fought it.

In Europe playstation is charging more for systems so they can charge less in the USA.
Do European game players really want to subsidize Americans ?
Maybe a Playstation European boycott is in order?!
