Protesting via reposting ALL the #NoKings posts, laughing with everyone who is cosplaying, frolicking, and spellcasting as resistance, and generally being a dancing protest frog from home 💚🐸 and I did make signs! #Amphiba #PortlandFrog #Resist

Sometimes, imagining a kinder, more loving world feels like a frivolous and useless activity. Then I am reminded that we have to imagine it before we can build it.
@aoc.bsky.social thank you

I am curious how teachers talk with students about ethical AI use before adding it to curricula. What are the conversations you have about the content stolen to fuel its 'growth', and its environmental impacts?

LLMs training AI models use mostly pirated materials, courtesy of decision-making so bereft of ethics it's hard to comprehend. Seeing your name and the title of your pirated work in LibGen (ty @theatlantic.com) is a whole other heartbreak 💔 #EduSky #Education #HigherEd #Writer #Author #AcademicSky
A screen clip of my book, Building a Trauma-Responsive Educational Practice: Lessons from a Corrections Classroom, showing up in LibGen, proving it is one of tens of millions of copyrighted works being used to train AI. It's really painful.

The moon at the very beginning of the lunar eclipse, clouds scattered, caught in the branches of a tree Peak lunar eclipse, sky is clear and dark, moon hanging, a golden orange ball

I'm not much for landscapes but my mom wanted a picture of the sky, so I obliged #ArtSky #Art #Artist
Watercolor of a frosty night sky. A sparkling moon shines over a tree-lined valley, and a group of figures holding hands looks upward.

Hey #GardenSky, anyone know what this little growth is on my kalanchoe? Also, I gave her a big haircut and seriously, I cut off enough to make another plant the same size! PSA - if you live in the Vancouver WA area & want some cuttings, hmu #Gardening #Plants #HousePlants #Gardener 🌱🌿
Enough cuttings to make another full-size kalanchoe. If you live in the Vancouver WA area, hit me up! A very large, bouncy, happy kalanchoe named Odelia (after Odie, Garfield's dog friend). A small growth that looks like a head of cauliflower but on a kalanchoe stem.

Here is Eleanor Rose-evelt upon planting several weeks back. She's hanging out with two small-ish peonies in the wildflower bed.

Eleanor Rose-evelt has put out the teensiest spriglets and I couldn't be happier 🥀
Eleanor Rose-evelt, who is mostly just a bare rose cane, has started sprouting very tiny spriglets. I am very proud!
