I'm so tired of people acting like bigotry is just a difference of opinion.

My hottest “I have no data to back this up” take is that phones aren’t making young people less happy. What’s making them less happy is living in a world where everyone is having their reality defined by recommendation algorithms that can only care about whether something keeps you watching.

Reminder (this time with a TikTok by @professorcasey.bsky.social Fiesler) that ChatGPT is not designed to give you facts! It is designed to produce "plausible, fluent, highly rated text" - NOT truth! www.tiktok.com/t/ZTkJqUDLW/

Ramadan has officially ended. Eid Mubarak! Hoping that we take the lessons of Ramadan into the year and that we offer more compassion to each other and commit to lessening suffering how we can.

I am so sick and tired of insurance companies telling me which pharmacy* I can go to!!!!! *Yes, singular, bc that's been my experience so far.

Thank you! Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government.

Gentle reminder that supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses - not some farcical aquatic ceremony.

Every trans person who refuses to shrink their identity to fit the room is expanding the world for everyone else.

Tonight is the night where I constantly refresh my phone to see whether our voters approved the school budget. Imagine if corporations were held to this standard. Or if we could vote more directly on where our tax dollars went federally. Instead, it’s us public school workers crossing our fingers.

Children's brains do most of their development in the early years because learning to communicate, to control your body/emotions and be more independent of adults is so hard. But all that doesn't develop in a vacuum and we should never underestimate the work of the people involved. ☺️ #EduSky

If I can keep even one father from dying in despair, believing he'd failed the thing that mattered most to him-- If I can give just one child the chance to give their father the gift of a happy child-- How can I possibly not? Nobody should ever die believing what Dad believed. Ever. 8/8

Discovering I was trans was the greatest blessing of my life. A simple explanation for a sense of wrongness I'd felt so long I thought that wrongness was me. I credit the trans community for bringing society to the point where I could understand what was wrong and get help.

Every trans person who insists on being seen is a living map for those still finding their way.

Dear @usatoday.com , Bad Bunny did NOT list "other" countries after saying "God Bless America" - he SPECIFIED that America includes all those countries, from Chile to Canada!!

I want 12 more hours of Bad Bunny! That was SPECTACULAR!

Bad Bunny painted a musical portrait of his island, and put indigenous musicians on the global hot mic

Your friendly reminder that chatgpt is not google and does not in fact know anything

Art is resistance. Keep making it! ✨

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

GO PLAY TETRIS. Then get back out there. 🩷

Anywho, the main truth I know is that there's ALWAYS something that can be done. Always. You just have to find the things you can do.

We do not get out of fascism by saving ourselves and turning our backs on others. We get out through solidarity with everyone—especially the most vulnerable.

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports. And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.” Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

I really want ppl w/o Minneapolis connections to understand You might've heard that Mpls public schools went hybrid bc so many families are in hiding. Well, a coworker just told me that today, during his kid's hybrid class, a kid's apt building was raided onscreen *Everyone has stories like this*

RT if you've never had a tab of ChatGPT open 'just to do quick research'

losing my mind at the "she should have followed directions" people really? really? you're cool with "if you don't follow directions, they get to kill you"? that seems like a good state of affairs to you? that seems like how law enforcement ought to work: instant obeisance or death?

Two things can be true: A dictator no longer ruling Venezuela is good. And the leader of a representative democracy initiating unconstitutional military action to claim some oil and start a regime change war no one wanted without the legally required congressional approval, like a dictator, is bad.

Is a chive a vegetable though?

I forgot to post a #Caturday post this week! So Cinderpelt gave me the stink-eye and asked me to remind you all to do your best to pronounce students' names correctly. She says if you can say Tchaikovsky, you can learn to say Leticia & Soogia & Ali!

Best metaphor I've heard is that using AI is like bringing a forklift to lift the weights at the gym. The point is to build YOUR muscles, not to make the weights go up and down.
