We gotta revive the ‘80s style family sitcom so we can have Very Special Episodes about sports gambling apps and letting AI talk you into eating a handgun and whatever else this evil ass culture is doing to kids. People my age still cut up plastic rings to save sea life, that shit 100% worked

Good morning, it is Small Business Saturday and I am, indeed, a small business! So small it’s just me and whichever intern (child) I can bribe into helping me. I sell pretty cute textiles, 3D printed goodies, and stickers ☺️ #bsnm #smallbusiness measuredandslow.studio/shop

one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.

Ugh, the most annoying part of knitting socks 2 at a time while also doing other things 🧶 (yarn ball emoji)

This ball of fluff and I have no plans to move from this couch today. You know, except for the 17 walks he will sad eyes guilt me into taking him on.

I'm old. If you're not, listen to this. Get a guitar or some drums, or a trumpet. Pick up a brush, a pencil, some clay or a welder. Just make shit. It doesn't have to be good (eventually it will be) just make music, art or write or whatever. It's literally never been more important.

We’re accepting applications for our (paid! remote!) summer internship! professors who follow me please share with any students interested in writing

Friends! If you joined the Tree-Rex waitlist this year and did not hear from me, please check your spam folder!! There were lots of no replies this year, which I suspect is bc AI spam sorting got a little overzealous. You may have an email from me waiting ☺️🧶 #bsnm

Aargh I’ve lost a bookmark on here - print artist who’d done some folklore alphabet work any help to find them would be appreciated

Moving while also working pretty near continually is exhausting, but I’m making socks. In fact, took a whole morning to walk to do a little bit of errand shopping and made great progress on my socks. I only cast them on last night after finishing the previous pair #Knitting 🧶 (yarn ball emoji)

Thanks to his new Tesla pay package, Elon Musk could stand to make $3 billion more per year than all 1.4 million elementary school teachers in the U.S. combined. Still wondering if inequality is out of control?

Hey #writesky! What is something that defines your writing? Something that you include in almost all of your writing because it is intrinsic to your voice as an author. For me, it's either affectionate male characters (to their partner or friends, doesn't matter.) or found family.

The problem with SNAP “fraud” and “abuse” is that we’ve made a system where when people ask for help with food we don’t just give it to them. The problem is that you’ve labeled any use at all of it as “fraud” or “abuse.”

i've been taking adderall since i was 5. any day that i snuck away from taking it i would inevitably get sent to the principal's office for something. this is a wonder drug that keeps adhd children from abject misery. adhd therapy will never come close to the effectiveness of adhd medication

It’s almost the end of the year so come in here real close: You do not want to do a temperature blanket. You don’t. A year is a long time and everyone is falling apart, don’t do this to yourself. Also, it’s gonna make you think really scary thoughts about climate change. Don’t do it.

We're at the next stag of the authors' lawsuit against Anthropic. Check the link below to see which of your books they raided and then click through to file a claim. Four of mine were in there.

White person: *several racist sentences* Black person: "That was racist as fuck" Other White Person: "Surely, they were being ironic." Don't wake up and use any of your days on earth being an OWP. Please.

Using AI to write makes you a writer, the same way using DoorDash to get dinner makes you a chef.

some other familiar grocery store names that are brands for producer-owned agricultural co-ops: Blue Diamond Bob's Red Mill Land O'Lakes Tillamook Welch's

Them: “I’m sick of subsidizing their groceries when mine cost so much” SNAP does not drive up grocery prices. That would be inflation, tariffs & corporate greed. For every $1 spent on SNAP there’s a $1.50 going back into the economy. While you’re blaming the poor, the rich are robbing everyone.

I think if you use gen ai, you should be sentenced to stand on a stage and have writers/artists pelt you with rotten tomatoes while Steve from Blues Clues tells you how disappointed he is in you, oh and every tomato that hits you drains your company's stock closer to bankruptcy.

There are about 1,500 Americans who have more than $500M. If capped wealth there & collected the surplus, we’d have $4.26T. That would be enough to end child hunger & end homelessness for 170 years. Offer free college & trade school for 56 years. 1,500 very rich people are still very rich.-Threads

Hey, friendly reminder that Scott Cawthon's donations to the GOP literally contributed to SNAP suspension and you shouldn't buy or stream Five Nights at Freddy's anything.

Uninstall Grammarly NOW. They've partnered with an AI company and actively scrape your writing to train its models.

i can’t believe a good thing happened we should do this more often

this is a reminder that we dont have to settle for newsom in 2028

This cross stitch pattern is punk as duck! Link to pattern in comments. #CrossStitch #Punk #Duck

Hey so like care about people 👍

For the love of Christ, cross stitchers, embroiderers and sewists of Bluesky, alt text your images so I can repost them. You know what it looks like, you've been looking at it for 40 hours. Add a description to your post.

“The name ‘Dodgers’ makes no sense in LA!” Listen, have you ever tried to be a pedestrian in LA? It’s like playing Frogger.

I am pro-CHILD.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

Great idea - Los Angeles friends: please consider giving to the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank www.lafoodbank.org - more than a million people in LA County receive benefits from CalFresh (it’s how CA implements SNAP)! And friends elsewhere, please re-post with info about your local food pantry.

Please understand that people will not be "going without SNAP/EBT/food stamps" - people will be going without FOOD. Actually and literally.

Also one of the COMMON themes in LoTR is that the act of hospitality was close to sacred and the way that sentient beings got corrupted was losing sight of this.

Tolkien is not perfect but he did, in fact, hate the fucking Nazis.

ICE all over north Evanston and Wilmette snatching landscapers this afternoon.

“If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them, how can the love of God be in that person?” 1 John 3:17 For those wishing to alleviate #hunger in the #Denver area, I’ve found this organization to be reputable. #snap give.foodbankrockies.org

I already knew InZoi used AI, but going "AI-first" is fucking disgusting. I'll make sure never to touch a game published by this company. www.eurogamer.net/pubg-and-inz...

If you are a #gamedev, an #author, any #contentcreator or #streamer and you make the conscious choice to use #AI, how about you go fuck yourself. You're putting VA's like me out of a job. You're putting writers and authors out of a job. You're over saturating the world with your garbage. Fuck you.
