Listen, Gen AI is garbage. If you use it, you should feel bad.
Trans rights are human rights.
Vaccines are GOOD. They save lives.
Libraries are AWESOME.
Drink your water. Take your meds.
Science is the shit.
The arts are the soul of us.
Disagree? Unfollow me and frak off. Capisce?

To describe the current state of the world as a daily show of deepening horrors is a massive understatement.
However, I read something today that I think more people should see and read.
I hope she doesn't mind my me sharing it here.

PSA: When a deaf or HoH person asks you to repeat something, please say the *exact same words* over again. Rephrasing is counterproductive!
When we say "Say that again?" we're asking for a second try at parsing your sequence of sounds. Rephrasing means we have to start all over instead!

More people should be talking about the utter freak that is Stephen Miller and his white nationalist worldview. He's the architect behind most of this chaos as Trump is golfing, falling asleep during meetings, making money of memecoins and tripping while climbing stairs.

I just finished the Chaotic Orbits novella trilogy. Loved it so much! It reminded me of The Stainless Steel Rat in the best way. @bethrevis.bsky.social

so by this logic, if someone stole all of mark zuckerberg's 180.6 billion US dollars and used it to make their own company, it ought to be fine, because each stolen dollar, when tallied individually, is only a tiny fraction of the whole and therefore basically worthless

It is remarkable that there are still people who believe that the reason hundreds of thousands of people have nowhere to live is that we haven’t made having nowhere to live unpleasant enough.

Let this be another reminder that A.I. is only making everything worse, not better.
You would think that every TERMINATOR movie we've gotten since 1984 would've taught most of you this lesson, but clearly fucking not.

when you stop reading "believe women" as "women never lie" and see it as "one of the foundational myths of patriarchy is that women can never be trusted" it makes a lot more sense.

Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance.
Remember those who have been killed, injured, abused, tortured for being who they are.
Remember those who have taken their own lives because they could not live in a world where they could not be themselves.
Remember them. And make the world remember them.
