There are good people to be found all over the world, and it isn’t too hard to find them if you start looking. When I’m feeling down about the state of things, I look at people being good and kind in all kinds of conditions, and I feel better

AI is a garbage hallucination machine designed to make insecure people feel competent. It creates nothing of value that could not have been done better by a human.

If you're wondering what you can do to help people stuck in the legal system, even without being a legal professional, becoming a CASA or a GAL (Guardian Ad Litem) can do a lot! Going to community resource centers and just asking what you can help with can give you a great start!

I’ve been going through training to become a CASA, and today was really long. Went to juvenile court for the afternoon to observe, and then had class from 6-9pm. Just one more class to go, and then swearing in.

“Is that Katya, or a cis woman?” “I think it might be a cis man” “Oh my god it’s Jack McBrayer”

Huffing and puffing trying to get up the hill from the bar to the hotel room, and ahead of us two beautiful young women in high heels sprinted all the way up. Women are so powerful, they can do anything

How lucky am I, that snails try to climb me when I go outside at night

I wish I could commission artists/musicians/writers/creatives to do self care. Like, they get to the time slot budgeted for my commission, and it just says “take a nap,” or “stretch your wrists.” Patron-sponsored self care. Sometimes I love all the art a person makes, and want to support the human

This game is entirely human-made, without generative AI. It tells an important story that is neglected in our teaching of history. Support them if you are able.

I am thrilled to announce that Dreams on a Pillow has wrapped up pre-production and we are about to start full production. We can’t do it without your support. We are starting our second round of crowdfunding, to support us you can find out more here www.launchgood.com/1948

@sfgov.sf.gov I would love to know why city hall is flying the flag of Israel, and no other flags. Why not the city flag? Or the California flag? Or the US flag? I didn’t realize San Francisco was in Israel

This is why you take the time to brush the seams out when sewing fur or faux fur

I've been making DS9 characters in Tomodachi Life, and the drama has started early. My first character was Quark, of course. He can introduce himself.

Every time we go to Burger King, I sing “get yourself to the BK lounge, buy yourself a big burger,” which is both a Dane Cook reference and a Mika parody. That means there are maybe five people who will get the whole bit. I cannot stop doing it.

There are so many women helping to run things on the #Artemis #Integrity mission. It’s an incredible contrast with the recordings from the last time we went to the moon, when almost all the voices heard were men. I’m so proud of the entire team, of all genders, for breaking that barrier together

I get gender euphoria from driving around with a bunch of beautiful women in my car. Makes me feel like The Man.

I’m the kind of guy who will see you accomplish something, and talk smack about you behind your back* (*Tell other people how proud I am of my cool friend and insist they go look)

Day 4 of inserting "Weird Al" Yankovic into a Star Trek screenshot #WeirdTrek #StarTrek #StarTrekTOS #WeirdAlYankovic

Today I did an experiment while driving to LA, and had dictation turned on in a pages document. Wrote just shy of 3000 words before running out of battery. I forgot to charge it last night, so it started pretty low. I expect to get a lot more done on the drive home.

Shoutout to all the allies I see dogwalking bigots online every day. Whenever I look at toxic places like insta or Nextdoor lately, every bigot seems to be dogpiled by allies who aren’t letting that fly. I love to see it. Please keep dunking on these losers.

Meanwhile, Girl Scouts of America has refused to accept donations from transphobes in the past, and also granted Gold Awards to transgender former Boy Scouts who were stripped of their Eagle Awards for transitioning. JKR should not have this kind of influence over which children are included.

I changed schools between 3rd and 4th grade. Old school taught cursive in 4th, new one taught it in 3rd, so I missed it entirely. But I was required to do all essays in pen in cursive. So the school took away my recess, and I had to do cursive exercises instead. Place was run by people like him.

Sometimes I get cut off in traffic, and when I look at who did it, their car is plastered with business logos and phone numbers. Is it petty to contact those numbers and suggest that they drive better? I really want to, even though I probably won’t.

@sfomuseum.bsky.social how do you feel about human rights abuses taking place right in front of your exhibits? They’re a really interesting backdrop in the videos of ICE brutalizing people at SFO this morning

I am angry at a man for doing my sister in law wrong. He’s a real momma’s boy, which makes me want to call his parents and tell them what a slime ball waste of oxygen he is. They need to go pick up the baby they wouldn’t allow to grow up, and clean up his mess like they’ve done his whole life.

It doesn’t have to be a man in power and a woman being victimized (although it often is). You also see this with parents and children, men abusing other men, women abusing other women, governments abusing entire populations of people, and so on.

In addition to creating impossible standards for evidence, the reaction from institutions and individuals swings around to blaming the victim and figuring out what they did wrong so we can justify not doing anything about the person in power. If it’s the victim’s fault, then the problem is solved.

Pretty much everyone is aware and has personal experience with men in positions of power being predatory, abusive, and violent—and getting away with it. What is rarer and invokes rage and backlash is when someone tries to hold those men to account. That is what people have a problem with.

You can see this very clearly in institutional responses to abuses of power, but you can also see it in the specific backlash whistleblowers and victims receive. The goalposts shift. It’s not “did this happen,” it’s “can you prove it?” But any evidence you have will never be considered enough.

I left an entire community, after 8 years of volunteer work, because of one abusive man. I tried to hold him accountable and get consequences for his actions, but no one would step up. Shared friends became just his friends. I still don’t trust the community involved at all. No interest in returning

Graduating high school before ChatGPT is like having a brain made of recovered steel from warships old enough to not have been weakened by atomic bomb isotopes.

Help help, the dinosaur has my hand in her mouth

Came home to 4 PG&E trucks completely blocking my house, in my driveway, with people in the cherry-pickers of two of them already. They claim I didn’t get any advance notice because it’s an emergency, but they appear to be doing line maintenance. We weren’t having any issues.

I’m brushing my teeth, getting ready to sleep, and the little voice in my mind asks, “but what if you stayed up all night making things?” I am going to go to bed. I am not going to do the 3D scan I’ve been thinking about. I am not going to glue the fur to the mascot head. I will not make muppets…
