I'm on strike now with other ALTs (Assistant Language Teachers) working in Kyoto Prefecture High Schools via the dispatch company ALTIA CENTRAL. Our salaries, low at 240,000 yen per month, were cut this year to 210,000, and we can't sustain our lives anymore.

Don't talk to the NYT. They've betrayed families' trust before.
They will lie to you and use you and then turn around and tell you it was their job.

My therapist has a theory that @scalzi.com is actually @chucktingle.bsky.social I suggested that perhaps it was actually @chuckwendig.bsky.social as I've never seen them in the same place at the same time. Why did we talk about this in therapy? None of your business.

Please, please, please stop using genAI to make your protest or ‘resistance‘ images, for feck’s sake! This is part of the shit you claim to be resisting!
It is literally a symbol of billionaires undermining individual creativity and harvesting it so they can amass more wealth by mass producing it.

Administrators at Indiana University baselessly fired the student media director and ordered the student paper to cease its print edition, so it'd sure be a shame if this excellent digital front page were to be widely shared today

@theonion.com is going to have to start posting articles like "During a local town meeting, people agreed to pass a motion that expands the school lunch program." if they want to write fantastical stories that could never happen.
Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic.
"Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."

Let's not forget that there are laws that make it so you can't earn above poverty wages and still keep your benefits. If you're going to make more on benefits when it comes down to your costs then you can't legally work regardless of how much you want to.

In the Hunger Games, the capital knew not to send Peace Keepers to the districts they came from. Just saying.
We have not called for this. We do not need this.
Donald Trump is pitting sovereign states against one another in effort to consolidate his own power at the expense of our constitutional rights—
An egregious abuse of power.
He is pushing us closer to authoritarianism.

This evening, President Trump is ordering 400 members of the Texas National Guard for deployments to Illinois, Oregon, and other locations within the United States. No officials from the federal government called me directly to discuss or coordinate.

If ICE is watching everything we do now, confuse them. Find the strangest shit to look up, make them read the worst #omegaverse stuff you can find. Skippidy that toilet as hard as possible. Throw rickrolls everywhere. Overwhelm them with so much stuff they quit and need therapy.

Just got our roof replaced. We went metal because of a 60 year warranty. They gave us a voucher for a vacation. We don't do cruises or resorts or anything like that when we travel, so it's moot. Can I get a cash value out of it? We will find out.

Everyday this part on creativity from @sarahkendzior.bsky.social 's flyover country book keeps spinning like an annoying broken record when it comes to AI everyday. It's like an annoying song that never stop. #booksky 📚💙
Read an essay on how expensive Cities are Killing Creativity and @sarahkendzior.bsky.social was ahead of the AI revolution and Hollywood's obsession with remakes. (With some few good and improved exceptions). This made me thought back to Dragonball Evolution and most recently Powerpuff. #booksky 📚💙
