Human, not tree. I am fat, non-binary, very interested in restorative justice, and kind of secretive. I like to show off my adorable dog.

Let's talk about generative AI, contaminated information, and rhubarb.

Once upon a time, Europe was at war.

Food was scarce, and the government of the quote-unquote United Kingdom looked for alternatives. 1/

Things I have done this weekend instead of arguing on the internet:
-Learned two new chainmail weaves
-Finished a fluffy book
-Walked my dog
-Played a silly phone game
-Watched Heated Rivalry
-Washed Dishes

Just in case you need some inspiration. There are many better uses of your energy.

Feels like another day that could benefit from a moment of paws. And yes, I did that on purpose.

Needed this splash of cold water, thanks @laurenwalshart.bsky.social .
Drink some water.
Go for a walk.
Put your phone down.
No amount of doom scrolling is going to make things better.

If you want to do something, make a plan to protest and call your representatives. Dont run your nervous system ragged on socials rn

Happy solstice.

Remember always that the light returns as the cold sets in.

Hope returns even as everything gets worse.

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

Like, I cannot believe how many people are willing to pontificate on what grade a paper deserves in a class they aren’t the professor for, have not viewed the syllabus of, and **are aware that the only reason it is being discussed is right wing grievance activism**

Supposed to be getting up to walk the dog. But it's snowy out, and she's being cuddly. Work will understand why I couldn't get out of bed, right?

The thing that unites conservatives, liberals, fascists, and leftists around Epstein's violence is that the vast majority never cared about the girls.

It has only ever been about whose reputation can be damaged.
So many vulnerable people were hurt, harassed and raped by these ghouls and now—I’m worried—it’s gonna become hehe haha lurid internet circus instead of a long overdue moral reckoning. I’m scared of who we all are becoming. That man has brought us ALL low.

City light plus bad timing meant I couldn't get great aurora pics tonight, but I still snuck to the park and got what I could.

In future I will play with my time settings on my camera more to see if I get better.

AI is killing people. We don't have to let companies hawking these products embed them in everything. If you work at a college, your students are already struggling with mental health, and you want to give them this?

1. This week, news emerged that former trans athlete, student at Middlebury, and advocate for trans rights, Lia Smith, was found dead.

Her death was ruled a suicide.

But I argue that it's not only a suicide. Every trans suicide is a murder by those in power.

Thinking of donating to a food bank since so many people will be losing benefits? Keep in mind that they can get bulk / special discounts. Meaning if you give them $10 cash, they can get more food than they would if you went and bought $10 worth of food at the store to donate.

I am once again asking Canadian journalists to ask the most basic-ass question of "on whose land will these be built?" How is it that every other major industry must consider Indigenous rights but with tech it's like "meh".
