I will be adopting a variation on this for my classes in the fall. I have zero tolerance for AI.

They wished to show you their paws and bleps.

Think I've just found a future addition to my office.

Hey @reverendjesus.com

What business is this of the House? That's right. It isn't.

Good lord, but all he had to do was slink silently into whatever lobbying job he's going toward. He just couldn't help being ignorant AND loud about it.

You know, I've been thinking about how you once could have email connected to your domain rather than a Gmail account....

Let's protect our trans friends, family, coworkers, students, and neighbors. Their existence in media doesn't need a warning label. It needs acceptance and defense.

The grift goes on.

If you are taking SSRIs, be careful. Your heat resistance is diminished.

If they're trying to kill off their business, I think they just found a way.

I wasn't expecting to rethread a serger today, but here we are.

It's late spring and, once again, my 32-year-old straw hat is my stalwart. If I go out, I'm wearing it - and red lipstick, because that's standard. Yes, that is a duck.

Also, the exits have been barred.

Seeing this arrogant being utterly bodied by a graduating class? Delicious.

Looks like I have reading to do.

All members of the Court are family, even if Mongo is frequently appalled.

Intergenerational fandom is also a treasure. I am a sci-fi nerd, as was my father before me and as are my own children.

My partner made these this week. I love his ongoing conversation with glass.

Tonight on Silent Film Fridays, we have the 2nd installment of our Summer Serial program. It's Epi. 3-5 of The Master Mystery (1918) starring a master of self-promotion: Harry Houdini. We kick off at 8pm Eastern over on stream.place. Join us, won't you?

Now shipping! Order it today so I can ship it today!

Two spots of joy right now: my ginger widget cat is curled up and purring behind me on the couch and my cat and mouse bookmarks.

Three districts (or two districts and five charter schools) can decide what can be read, studied, and written about in all Utah schools. Books saved me. I fear who will be lost because they can't find themselves in a library.

Her work is divine and often packed with righteous anger to go right along with the beautiful art. Go support @karenhallionkenney.bsky.social

I will enjoy a slice of cherry pie and a damn fine cup of coffee upon the occasion.

Still one of my favorite gifts. This set of custom glass cups was created by Alexander Hartke (Insta: hotshophermit) between 2016 and 2018.

Is there an Oscar the Grouch fish yet? I'd love to think there is.

It's online and it's free. You can't ask for better than that.

Ever seen a title come up on a YouTube video and thought "Nice kerning" while feeling a ping of satisfaction? The channel Walks of Wonder just supplied that.

I don't know what Maxwell Frost's next act is going to be, but I hope he continues to insist that people answer the questions put to them under oath. Watching the progressive anger on Cekada's face as Frost doesn't let him weasel tells me that Frost has him dead to rights.

Family Search, what do you think you're doing?

After the day I've had, Drunken Master seems like the best idea.

I'm in an ethics training for state employees at the moment. I was tolerating it fairly well until one of the talking heads pronounced Appalachian wrong. The record scratch was real, y'all.

There's a great gift when a daughter by choice becomes your daughter by heart (and adoption of the family last name). I love that girl and I'm so glad she chose me as her mom.

Came home late to the news a majority of major outlets are mostly flat out not reporting: trans people labeled by our government a terrorist group and threatens to kill them all. I should have called these prejudiced fucks out everyday.

Radically pro-transgender? You bet I am and I'll fight for those who need defense. I'm also anti-facist, so I guess that's that.

Tally-ho!

I was recently reminded that I graduated with my BA almost twenty years ago. There are times I wish I could tell that younger version of me just where her life was about to go.

Almost at $8k! Please help with a pledge or a RT!

Hell yeah, Hacks! Fuck AI

She's not a cat. She's a queen.

A follow-on from my last post. Check out all these amazing performers.

If you haven't heard of the Doctor Who Fan Orchestra, check out this utter nerd joy. I participated in #6-10 and am about to get to work on my submission for #11 for the Fifteenth Doctor. I appear on screen in at least the 50th Anniversary performance. I'll need to check for the rest.

Is this one American in the room with us?

This reminds me of a faculty meeting last week.

The Lady Zee intently watches bird YouTube.

Be warned of this one. She actually told everyone who she was with her blog titled Ask A Bigot.

I believe it was Qui-Gon Jinn who observed "The ability to speak does not make you intelligent."
