The area I love has more shuttered shops than I can count and half have been wrapped with AI posters and it’s YUCKY. Give me a local shop! a community hub!! a local coffee shop or cafe!!

One thing that Cupburger has shown me is the absolute atrocity of the cost of wheelchairs and associated accessories. We are helping member of the community Titch to afford a necessary item for her wheelchair. Please donate whatever amount you can and share! www.gofundme.com/f/help-titch...

I cannot over emphasise how important this action is. Most MPs don't know this is going on, and by the time the guidance is laid it will be too late. Make sure you email your MP now – and encourage others to do the same.

bluesky’s vibe got that facebook stink feels like my algorithm is the political commentary of your weird uncle who thinks neoliberalism is gonna save us 🙄

There’s still time to sign up for this! If you’re looking for a chill and creative evening, come join us! My colleague Marina and I have had some deeply inspiring conversations and we’d like to invite you to take part in some creative tarot invitations!

I wasn’t going to say anything, but I just feel like not enough people understand how something as invasive as a pap smear can be made worse by a nurse with a lack of empathy. It should be mundane and instead I was belittled and made to feel ashamed for trying to advocate for myself.

Part of me wants to work the ways that bees work.

I need a journalist to look into blue sky’s algorithm because I genuinely think that people who are anti-AI and vocal about it are being served a higher percentage of “my pet died today” posts because the sheer numbers of dead pets that I am alerted to each day is destroying my mental health.

Are you a creative feeling blocked by all the bs in the world right now? Looking for a new support system or tool to support you in planning and deepening your creative work? This Sunday at 6pm BST my colleague and I are offering our Tarot for Creatives taster session!

I had a creative session with @erikaphoenix.bsky.social, I came with a jumbled half idea and afterwards I was inspired, focused and excited for the project. Erika was patient, knowledgeable and kind. Ok writing this I’ve talked myself into another session.

I have space for 5 more creative advising sessions this month! If you are interested, you can contact me via email or dm. I most frequently work with theatre makers and artists who are queer and/or neurodivergent. If you are struggling with creative blocks or overwhelm, let me help!

I have helped people with essay and thesis planning, developing supportive structures for creative work, laying out the steps for big ideas, researching opportunities, acting as an outside eye, and more. I am a collaborator and always happy to help others. If you're curious, send me an email or dm

Everyone I hate to ask, but we are short on rent this month and my partner's work has just underpaid him. Please consider ordering a tarot reading or, preferably, a creative advising meeting from me. I love providing creative support for queer and neurodivergent creatives. ko-fi.com/erikaphoenix

We are less than 10 episodes in to X-Files and we have a MURDEROUS AI. Look, Mulder and Scully PREDICTED evil computers!!

The universe is reading my bluesky. We had an all too brief storm early this afternoon. Beautiful dark clouds and a few thunderclaps aren’t much but I’ll take what I can get!

Weird thing I didn’t expect about moving to a southern Wales from SC: There are no thunderstorms here?? I think in 3+ years I have only seen one maybe two? I genuinely miss hearing distant thunder and the flashes of lightning through the window.

Re-reading Mutual Aid by Dean Spade. This is a scary and overwhelming time with everything going on. No book can solve everything, but I like to think of Mutual Aid as a book that shows us that we are more capable of helping than we realize. (actually listening to the audiobook, thx @libro.fm)

This is catastrophic.

Day 3 of being out of it. I feel really useless on days like this. If you feel able to support, I’d appreciate any donation to my ko-fi. If you know of any part time flexible remote work send it my way too x it’s just impossible to apply to things when i feel this bad ko-fi.com/Erikaphoenix

I am in the downswing of chronic illness and all caught up on The Pitt. Does anyone have any reccomendations for shows like it? Or other long running tv shows that I can binge. I like drama, comedy, absurd… Tell me what you are watching that you love!

If you're a business whose competitors are stuffing their software to the brim with AI, you could absolutely make a killing with being transparent about not having AI or being built with AI. I'm so FUCKING tired of it in EVERYTHING. Still looking for a Quickbooks alternative.

You need to call your reps and demand that they OPPOSE: -the KIDS Act -KOSA -the Screen Act -Sammy's Law -the App Store Accountability Act And additionally, oppose: -reforming/sunsetting Section 230 -online age verification/ID laws www.congress.gov/members/find...

Hey, so you're using Claude to automate your work? You killing kids in other countries too? If you use AI, chatgpt or Claude or otherwise, I hope you take your whole head and shove it up your butt. I hope you awake screaming in the middle of the night being haunted by ghosts.

do you ever think how wild it is that we get daytime from a star which is something we typically associate with nighttime? is day just brighter night? night with the exposure turned up? anyway, makes me feel better about sleeping in.

i'm taking a brave stance that may get me canceled: there is no reason for the pervert glasses to exist

Can anyone recommend an alternative to Quickbooks for freelance/self employed folks?? Just saw this new ai bs they’re rolling out and it seems opt in but I simply don’t trust businesses at this point. Please help!
