People who love to blithely throw around "just move" aren't taking the horror of this seriously. No one in this country should have to flee their home, their history, their family, their support system. Your rights should not begin & end at state lines in fucking 2026. This is an abomination.

I am not worried software is suddenly going to decide it wants power over humanity. I am worried about what people who already have power over humanity can do with that software.

Retractions never get proportional attention. This one should.

Insert standard blurb about gender affirming care being available - even if potentially harmful and pointless - for cis people while it is banned - even when it is one of the most effective treatments of all time - for trans people.

Maybe this Canvas hack should be a cautionary tale for AI implentation into teaching aside from the 1000 other reasons why we shouldn‘t normalize it but what do I know

Reminder... Any political party trying to make it harder to vote is sending a clear message — they can't win on their ideas alone.

If your brain is struggling due to anxiety,sadness,the way others have behaved,ADHD, autism,burnout,chronic illness &/or because the world’s too full of grimness then hi,me too. Research shows my photo’ll provide relief for your thoughts-pause & zoom into the details-& keep going, you’re not alone 🌿

Before you go around claiming that racism & sexism are the reason you, a white man, did not get the promotion you coveted, consider the possibility that you were, when push came to shove, not the most qualified candidate for the job. The loss of unearned privilege is not oppression.

It's Tom Holland Umbrella Day, you know the rules

Noooooo! 😢 I'd really like to invoke #TreeLaw for this.

This is exactly why language matters: “women were given the vote” frames equality as a gift from men, instead of hard won political power extracted through organized resistance. Nobody gave women anything. Women fought, marched, strategized, endured violence, went to prison and died for it.

New rule: all observatories must be built this way.

The current White House has AI-generated memes that miss the entire point of Star Wars. Obama has Luke Skywalker. No question who wins this.

The healthy side of joy is not a command to feel good. It is a capacity to receive what is good when it arrives, even if it arrives softly, even if it arrives while grief is still seated at the table. gurdeeppandher.substack.com/p/living-is-...

Passing this along - fucking scammers leveling up, here's a new one to pay attention to.

🧵, up and down

Happy May Day, everyone!

people fucking died for the voting rights act. to wave it away with a magic wand is just so grotesque

We must understand that the Voting Rights Act was not merely about ensuring Black Americans rights, it was about democratizing America. This ruling is not just a decimation of Black rights and Black Americans’ ability to have representation, it is a fatal blow to multiracial democracy.

Lovely picture, lovely alt-text 🖖

A Constellation of Chronic Medical Conditions Commonly Seen in Autistic & ADHD Adults

Any journalist who shows his or her face at that miserable event deserves all the ignominy that results. These are not normal times. This is not normal governance. Wake the fuck up, American journalism.

Fascinating! And I don't even weave. (Heads up for those sensitive, the short video in the article has a marked strobing effect; dunno if it could be slowed down?)

This Is Just To Say I have turned off the AI features that were in the update and which you were probably hoping to monetize Fuck you they were stupid so unnecessary and so annoying

I didn’t know this, did you? Amazing!

I’ve been trying to figure out why I’ve been obsessed with the Artemis II mission — more obsessed than I usually am with NASA stuff. This explains it! (IG: morganevelyncook)

Vor kurzem redete man sich in Berlin ein, die politische Debatte dürfe “nicht so werden wie in Amerika”. Wenn man sich hier heute umguckt, ist alles voller künstlichem Überziehen, permanent übertriebener Empörung und extrem persönlichen Angriffen. Sachliche Diskussion, anyone?

This year's #kakapo breeding season has been the biggest on record: - 256 eggs (252 in 2019) - 148 fertile eggs (116 in 2019) - 105 eggs hatched (86 in 2019). It'll be 2+ months until we know how many chicks will fledge (73 in 2019). There are currently 95 alive. #conservation #kakapo2026 #birds

Tonight in the ai reading group i was reminded of something that happened in 2006 after I dropped out of college, when I was living in a run-down old house next to jb alberto's in rogers park with a bunch of dudes. it was, as you can imagine, not clean.

Here's a great Op-Ed from Danny Caine on HR 7661

Outtakes from the cover of This Is How We Lose The TIme War.

Things that help calm the nervous system, quickly: - Box breathing (in for 4, hold for 4, out for 4, hold for 4, repeat) - Immerse your face in cold water (activates mammalian dive reflex) - Humming (stimulates vagus nerve) - Exercise (anything helps, outside even better) - Impeachment and removal

The world is such a dreadful place. -- Yes. And I am making lace. The horrors stare us in the face. -- It's true. Meanwhile, I'm making lace. The dark advances. It gathers pace. -- I squint and keep on making lace. And we are powerless in every case. -- And *that* is why I'm making lace.

just to be clear, everyone, when 8 pm EDT comes and goes, regardless of what does or does not happen, the president still threatened genocide and war crimes and we should still impeach, arrest, and try him

Over on Patreon, the 1851 Travelling Cap Knit-Along wraps up with detailed instructions about giving the cap a silky, woven lining. The original called for such a lining, which both added warmth and prevented the cap from mussing the hair. This may be of particular interest...

Historians now generally reject the Great Dog theory of history in favor of a pack-centered approach in which individual doggos may exert greater influence than others but are ultimately carried along by the collective agency of lots of puppers.
