We walk as companions! The popular fox and crow adventuring strip is now available as a print as requested. Sorry that took me forever to draw. I'm so slow these days when it comes to big illustrations. fairyloguepress.com/products/com...

Behind the scenes, I've been doing some more work on the Ghost Industries Ltd. series, and in that process I recently comissioned @lyarrah.bsky.social to do the captions, starting with An O.M.E.N. Of Cheese! Thank you Lyarrah for your wonderful work!

Way too many people who still treat there as being a bare minimum level of attractive you have to be to be allowed out in public without realizing it.

Open AI loses copyright case in Germany. Judge Elke Schwager summarized the case saying that if you want to build something and need components, "then you purchase them and do not use the property of others."

Stream weekend has begun! Our Minecraft Bedrock schedule is packed, we’d love for you to stop by! #minecraft #minecraftbedrock #bedrocklwgends

I've heard people say that "sometimes" images are too important not to share, even though they don't have alt text and my response is that if something is "too important", the matter of accessibility via alt text is then even MORE important you can do it, I believe in you

“But in ARC Raiders the GenAi voices were officially sanctioned by the actors! And so did Fortnite!” - and their agreement to this undermines everything the rest of us Voice Actors, our union, and other industries have been fighting against.

If you have the time report scam accounts instead of just blocking them report bugs instead of just moving on report safety hazards in stores instead of just walking around them they are not your responsibility, no, but it is a way you can make the world better and safer for others.

I have been awake 15 minutes and have already been subjected to a major website breaking in a way that prevents me from doing my job remember when technology made our lives easier? remember when we were excited to go on the internet?

Mostly I'm just angry because literally every program or website I use has gotten markedly worse in the last few weeks and I'm just supposed to keep on trucking like it's not added literally 20 extra frustrations to my daily routine

my first time seeing an aurora in person. completely turned my week around. there was too much light pollution to see much detail but the colors were lovely <3

Well, finally cancelled my Nitro. I refuse to have pop-up advertisements ("Quests") in my instant message service, let alone one I'm paying for. Discord, you've really dropped the ball by making Quests so obtrusive and giving us no way to opt out.

Yes, and: There are lots of reporting jobs at startup nonprofit local news organizations doing really important work outside of corporate ownership, for any journalists willing to consider living outside of the nation's three largest cities!

Twin Cities aurora tonight is directly overhead and in overdrive!

Submit them to Aurorasaurus!!! They're an NSF funded project out of University of New Mexico that takes crowdsourced aurora observations for research purposes: www.aurorasaurus.org

The Hunger Games trilogy was integral to my own political education and is why now I so often stress how your fellow citizen isn't your enemy, the government is. People love to forget that, but those books really cemented in my mind that class solidarity is crucial to any social justice movement.

I really need to get to bed, but I just poked my head out the back door again. This is the view from my deck. All of this is looking south. When the geomagnetic storms are like this, the oval overshoots me and stretches into the US, which is why so many are seeing it tonight. #aurora

how did i go so long not knowing we were literally teaching people to read wrong. i knew something wasn't right but jesus christ www.apmreports.org/episode/2019...

Her parents help her with childcare, a very normal thing that grandparents do. Do you know which parent usually stops working if you can’t afford child care and need one to stay home? Mothers. This one simple trick works great at keeping moms out of positions of power and they’re mad it didn’t work

I get why Minecraft does their bug reports the way they do, but as a result they have set up a major computer skill barrier to participating in the bug reporting process. The average player can recognize when their game is broken, that doesn't mean they can navigate a database.

re-learning how to ask for help before it's an emergency will help you get rid of the feeling that you're always having to drag other people into your emergencies btw

it's like how data breaches used to be a huge deal that made the news and corporations would offer free credit monitoring or whatever. now they barely even fucking notify you and when they do it's like "oopsie! we let all your data get stolen again! sowwy hehe"

we should not be letting any company get away with blaming AI for their failures. I'm not even sure how we got to this point. people are like "it's just a tool" okay so is a forklift and we still hold somebody responsible when it goes wrong and hurts someone. this is YOUR AI!

Y'all, we have finally solved the reason why I'm bad at aiming in video games It turns out that while my 9000 dpi mouse sensitivity is great for not having to move my wrist a lot, it's unusually high by like a factor of 5 compared to the average gamer.

Read every word & share with everyone you know. This is real life here in Chicago. Americans need to know this grotesque reality & stand with us.

I cannot believe they did this. 7 million Americans marched. How on earth could they ever believe this is normal?

seems to me that those democrats inclined not to fight perceive themselves as living through a somewhat ordinary cycle of presidential overreach and backlash and not something much more significant and dangerous

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

The cheapest plan available to me (a Georgian) is over $1,000 a month. Healthcare is no longer an option for me. I will ration the medication I take for as long as I can and then I will wait to die.

this. I have spent years researching a place to go, but there's nowhere that both has a healthcare system that can meet my needs and will let me immigrate with my health issues. There's a couple places with exceptions if I were independently wealthy, but if I were, I could just afford my healthcare!

i think this is key. taking the deal would amount to taking the blame. it would turn a clear political victory into an unambiguous defeat.

I'm the spouse of an air traffic controller and I could not be more livid at the news that Dems might cave. I called and left voicemails for my Dem senators. If my family can hold the fucking line, so can they.

Y’all…it’s really very important to make sure you don’t believe that the humans you don’t like, or don’t know, deserve fewer human rights. I know you THINK you don’t believe that, but I’d check in and make sure. Sometimes, we surprise ourselves.

Millions of Democratic voters on Tuesday: Fight these guys. Fight them. Senate Democrats: We heard you loud and clear and we will give in

We're socialized to constantly apologize for being too outwardly excited about things, but this world is so full of terror and misery that I'd rather see those bursts of light and passion shine through the cracks wherever you can find them.

I’m not sure they’ve lost interest. This is kind of like saying people stranded on the moon lose interest in playing volleyball.

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

Thinking about the social stigma against eating fast food in a country where poor people are being starved by the govt, the cost of groceries and fresh vegetables are astronomical, and a cheeseburger at McDonald’s costs $3.50. “Clean” and “healthy” eating rhetoric is racist, ableist, and classist.

This all the way to the bone marrow. Find things that bring you joy and cling to them like the life preserver they are in the stormy seas of our present moment in history.

People will condemn SNAP, saying it’s not everyone else’s responsibility to make sure people get fed, and in the same breath they’ll support farm subsidies because it’s everyone else’s responsibility to make sure people get fed.

Okay, I have managed to break the ice on writing again. Does anyone have like a warmup prompt list so I can just practice putting these nerds into scenarios? (I could def google for one but I'm asking first in case anyone has a fave handy!)

I dunno about anyone else but I feel like I could handle it still being dark at like 9:30am a lot better than I can handle it being dark at 5pm

Thinking only of Rosalind Franklin today, and what was stolen from her (and so many other female scientists alongside her).

Life’s too short to argue with people online, and even too short to think about the ones you held back from arguing with. Don’t give them your time. It’s not worth it.

Can people like... not? share completely unwarned snippets of conversation of a machine talking a guy into killing himself? like can you understand for two minutes how having to read stuff from that mindset might be harmful to the people reading your posts? please?

ask your doctor if committing to the bit is right for you

And if you're dissatisfied with quality of school meals, then the best way to fight for improvements is to start by making them universal. Because, if meals are means-tested, it's too easy for people to dismiss those who qualify for free meals as "undeserving" of high-quality food.

i've been noticing this thing where people are confusing extremely common video compression artifacts for proof of AI generated content. like "hey this bsky video is all smudgy, very sus, 100% AI" but without acknowledging all videos on here get smudgy? the hypervigilance doesn't seem to be helping
