It's been a year since I made the Jade pattern. I love how the freckles turned out. She might have the most pieces too.

If you're a young trans man or trans masc person who needs a dad today, congrats. I am your dad now. I am proud of you and what you've accomplished although some of your young person culture and choices perplex me. I am proof trans men can be middle aged married dudes. You can be too some day. Live.

The beginning of June seems like a perfect time for a ROYGBV in the garden. Starting with the reds. Huechera, poppy, geum, and beet stems.

Went to the produce stand and bought too many strawberries. I am making a reliable cobbler/crisp to make a dent. Don't let the lack of listed spices fool you on the recipe card. It varies depending on the fruit.

also realised, in the skellin episode, that it isn't *like* a DnD campaign, it *is* a DnD campaign. once you imagine brennan lee mulligan voicing the trolls, you can't unsee it. this is why it is so loved, this is why it is so hated.

Mass immigration and culture blending are what made the United States the world's dominant economic and cultural power. Anyone who says otherwise is wrong. If you don't love immigrants and diversity then you don't love America, period.

The administration has done fucked up. One of the Minnesota 15 is a folk singer, and he spent time in his holding cell leading a sing-a-long with other detainees. Hey ICE, you wanna make a Woody Guthrie? Cuz this is how you make a Woody Guthrie.

When utilized in literature review, LLMs consistently 1. fail to mention female authors in female-led literatures, 2. insist that men are more influential or more heavily cited when this is contradicted by objective citation counts, and 3. attribute women’s work to hallucinated male scholars.

I get the impulse for autistic people to want to respond by saying that they DID go to college or play baseball or date and work. But that still plays into ableist narratives. Even if an

Dietrich Bonhoeffer was an anti-fascist German Lutheran pastor who opposed Hitler and the Nazi Party so effectively that they murdered him in 1945. He is only a bad guy if you literally spend all your time on far-right, neo-Nazi websites and have pickled your brain in fascist group chats.
