Also SO MANY PEOPLE want to vote and are struggling because they have to stand in 10 hour lines or they need ID that is expensive/hard to obtain or they can't get off work and the absentee process is confusing. Start with folks who already WANT to vote but just need help ffs!

We are all so beautiful.

While I'm tinkering with this outline, I keep thinking "How do I justify an inexperienced nepo baby being in charge of a unit of the emperor's finest soldiers?" Turns out I don't have to. Real-life does that for me.

Every time this tailor posts a photo of their workspace, it looks like their dog is a tailor and he's showing off the garments he made. IG z.o.e.y.a.t.e.s

I mean this is the look I wish I could give him

Sigh……

This is shameful

The investment is the latest example of circular financing during the AI boom—the practice of tech companies investing in AI startups to help the latter buy products or services from the original investors.

Now prosecute her. And anyone else who got in ethics trouble by doing crimes. Resigning isn't enough. Whatever party you're in.

A nice walk today, in gentle rain, with cherry trees in blossom, and vibrant yellow and purple flowers all along the track 👣 The last in this series, I think, and using my --p profile :) "Woman at the Well" #synthart

Any moots interested in buying any of this stuff? It's not mine it's a dear friend: she had a bad divorce and got loaded with a bunch of stuff she doesn't really know a lot about and I'm doing a solid.

Once again a chance for me to post this

I'm very happy with how our exhibition "The Warehouse" turned out. I am so happy that people are stopping by from across the city to visit & also to participate in programming. It's going well. The exhibition is open thru 6/28 so there's time to visit if you are interested. www.thewarehousenyc.com

"They were so lucky I was looking" Ummm no. Stopping in time for a child running onto the street is not heroic/lucky, it is your goddamn obligation as a driver. Cost of entry. Kids are allowed to be unpredictable, you are not.

Regardless of your views on age verification legislation, we can NOT priotize requiring age verification over building a safe and secure infrastructure that could even handle it... We can't do it safely at the scale legislators want. [And now it's too late] www.pcworld.com/article/3075...

One of the silliest things about writing for young people is the shade authors get for it—as if it’s easier. This shows me that A. You don’t understand that this is where the big work is being done to help children build empathy and critical thinking, and B. You haven’t read the right books.

Look at what an artist can do.

What do you have around that has been there for a long time? Not special, but has been there in the background for a long time. This laundry basket has been here for more than 25+ years. Sitting in the corner all that time. It might be here another 25. Tell me what do you have in your background?

Happy #NationalLibrarianDay! Visit your local librarians and let them know how much of a difference they make in your community.

Can anyone on #MedievalBluesky help please? I am looking for a piece of medieval artwork showing a representation of Death hiding his face so as not to frighten the child whose life he is coming to claim. Think it was part of a #DanseMacabre I saved it on Twitter and now can't access that account.

We need more historians and art historians because examining past written, oral, visual, and material evidence, interpreting these sources and writing about them allow us to understand and transform our present and build a better future in which beauty and peace are valued. @acls1919.bsky.social

if we actually get a senior political figure excommunication then just a heads up that every single medievalist on here, we’re gonna lose our entire shit

Spending a lot of time ripping out crab grass by hand so my clover can take root out back, and it has me meditating a lot on what it means to take out fascists. We always used to say it was whack-a-mole, it wasn't. Successful antifascism in a democracy is a practice of weeding

I love this analogy, and to extend it: it is nearly impossible to outweed the weeds that have taken over if your goal is to return to bluegrass. The thing you need to do is plant things that outcompete the crabgrass.
