I know Bluesky has a ton of artists and creative people. Does anybody have interesting sticker collections for sale? My spouse is a wildlife educator who uses them as motivation and prizes for students of all ages, plus they're just fun to collect.

“99.2% of GPS patients who received gender-affirming medical care continue to identify as transgender into adulthood. Of the remaining 0.8%, most did not regret the medical treatment they received.” This is why transphobes are terrified of youth care, and why youth care should be legal everywhere.

Some time in the next few weeks I’ll be going to Hong Kong. Any, slightly unusual recommendations are much appreciated

The cat is drinking my (rooibos) tea and licking off my kiwi ??? Why can't you act like a normal cat and steal the literal salami the Swede is eating downstairs?

dankje. ik ga denk ik eerst peilen hoe ze er tegenover staat en dan als dat positief is, haar wat bronnen voor huisartsen suggereren de volgende keer. ik wil niet overdonderen. goed idee van je

These days you can search for literal names, objects, brands titles and concepts and internet search will STILL bring you elsewhere. Even when it is non-commercial. Completely unusable.

It is a little ironic that my 4 favourite animals (lion, octopus, killer whale and ladybug) are all vicious predators, while i have been a vegetarian since i was 11

I had the conversation last week in our Rural Modernism workshop, how historians don't often have an explicit methods section in articles, because the footnotes *are* the method. Citation and synthesis of the secondary literature is our method.

Anyone know a (preferably UK-located) expert on AI & financial crime?

Indeed! Is anyone in Europe working on protocols for digital grids like energy.becknprotocol.io? (So we don't get captured infrastructure the same way we have for the rest of the internet?)

An auditor for the Ontario, Canada government found that AI agents tasked with turning doctor/patient conversations into structured notes routinely hallucinated false treatments, replaced drug names with entirely different drugs, and missed crucial information

Saint Tecla is known for a lot, but she is not the patron saint of computers and the internet as some Spanish sources claim for the fun of it (due to 'teclado' being the word for keyboard). The Catholic Church has not officially announced a patron for the internet yet. 2/3

The Catholic patron of writers and journalists is Francis de Sales (1567-1622); the patroness saint of television is Clare of Assisi (1194-1253); the patron of radio broadcasters is Archangel Gabriel. And who is watching the internet you ask for #mediahistory? It's not Saint Tecla on the image. 1/3

I'm sorry, what? In writing my first monograph, I spent six weeks trying to track down a citation in TWO languages I didn't know. And good thing too, because the citation was wrong. That's scholarship. That's research. You know, the thing we're trained to do?!?

finally finished the pan of food slop i made and had to suffer through for 4 dinners in a row. this new recipe did NOT work out. man i made some bullshit

I miss Brussels a lot But one upside of living in the Netherlands is that i can overhear fights by neighbours much better. My French ain't great and my most argumentative neighbours were Polish and Italian so i could not listen in. AND i now have neighbours who argue in the garden. What a service.

I am sad we are boycotting Eurovision. No regrets and no doubts, just sad cause i love Eurovision and i miss the happy buzz around it. But we can't let the EBU & Israel keep destroying it.

not quite sure this is worthy of the full BBC article treatment. They didn't have an aircraft. Just a concept. the company was propped up this long by Qatari money. i don't know anyone who doesn't think BAE/Saab aren't getting that deal. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

A new study argues that Vikings may have supplied rare Arctic falcons to the rulers of the ʿAbbāsid Caliphate. The research traces how dozens of prized white falcons appeared at the court of the caliphs in Baghdad during the late 800s and early 900s.

Ik zie heel veel videos van Gidi. Met in het bijschrift verontwaardiging, inderdaad. Maar we moeten ons realiseren dat verontwaardiging onderdeel is van zijn strategie, want die maken wel dat we zijn beelden en woorden telkens weer delen.

We moeten het wat mij betreft voortdurend over fascisten hebben, maar niet in hun woorden en beelden. Over ze spreken, niet met of via hen. En veel ruimte bieden aan mensen die vormen van verzet en solidariteit organiseren. Dat is iets anders dan een tijdlijn vol filmpjes met en speeches door Gidi..

One time i had an afternoon gig as a chocolate taster of some potential new flavours. I got paid 50 euro and a box of chocolate (i was ~14 so absolutely great money). In retrospect it only went downhill from there .
