this is why I find climate dooming so frustrating there is no point - none - at which throwing up your hands and going “well we’re fucked” is the correct response every tenth of a degree matters and can make a big difference and is worth fighting for

hey so lots going on i know but this right here is a whole fucking slow motion ongoing tragedy

decided to do a collage on one part of my doll shelf of various ephemera i've collected (including parts of doll boxes. impossible to always store those all but i always keep parts of them 😭). turned out really good and is a cute backdrop!! :)

it’s LITERALLY as if both the left and right hand have clutched the head to realize for the first time that they are part of a single whole so just jot that down okay

AI always calling your ideas “fantastic” can feel inauthentic, but what are sycophancy’s deeper harms? We find that in the common use case of seeking AI advice on interpersonal situations—specifically conflicts—sycophancy makes people feel more right & less willing to apologize.

watching a northernlion stream and he said "are you guys gonna see The Mandalorian vs. Groglet" and now that phrase is just stuck in my head. The Mandalorian vs. Groglet.

Green Broadbill (aka lesser green broadbill) one of the birds I really love; came from the montane forest for a long bath on an extremely hot & humid day. #greenbroadbill #broadbills #birds #birdwatching #wildlife

I've gotten a lot of help & mutual aid already, and got a lot covered & sorted out into more manageable payment plans... Still waiting to hear back on my FMLA and Paid Leave appeal though.. I really feel guilty asking for help, but every share helps gofund.me/35fa3a915 #mutualaid #furry #donate

"Retaj is still suffering. Shrapnel remains in her brain, causing constant pain. She needs daily treatment and urgent surgery abroad." She's a child. And she needs help for daily care. Make it recurring so she knows she can get her medicine, if you can! 97/220 by Monday tiny.cc/HelpRetaj

and every single one of these people is like “you know who’s getting this and much worse? palestinians”

not sorry i keep reposting this in various forms. if you can, please toss a few dollars to Wes or share their post, they're Goin Through It and their employer is making things worse, as employers are wont to do

rerooting a doll with doll grade kanekalon for the first time and tbh its not as hard to handle as i feared. saran still remains most annoying fiber to reroot with to me

You can help Mohammed's family survive Israel's genocide right now by sharing & donating. His baby is critically ill, & they desperately need help to keep her alive without income and scarce access to unaffordable healthcare:

sometimes I wonder if people in other fields have any clue what we go through as women in computational fields... (graph from: www.npr.org/sections/mon...)

BREAKING: Global Sumud Flotilla activists released from Israeli custody after Israel seized an aid flotilla bound for Gaza in international waters, say they were tortured, sexually assaulted and denied basic legal rights. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.news/finz9n

I volunteer with BIJAN, and if you've ever thought about donating to the bond fund, please do so now -- the coffers are really, really low and it's heartbreaking to have to turn people away when a couple thousand dollars could get them free.

the club is bumping, the ladies look good, the alcohol is flowing, xenosys is banned for 14 days 12 days before ulti. there is much pain in the world but not on my feed right now.

LOL

seeing "transwoman" creep back into the non-TERF vernacular is some crazy work

The four-week-old critically endangered American Red Wolf pups continue to thrive. The nine wiggly pups are growing more confident each day, venturing farther outside their den with their attentive parents, Fiddle and Violet, always nearby. They will remain behind the scenes at our off-site facility

For millennia, humans have been using decoys to lure birds to particular places, usually to eat them. But decoys can also be used for conservation: Artists & scientists are creating realistic fake birds to attract puffins, terns, and other seabirds to restored nesting sites. @biographic.bsky.social🧪

every dead senator gets a thoughtful obituary lauding their “courage” and then if you look it up the courage was filibustering the Give Medicine to Cancer Kids act

this is why getting us to stop misusing "psychotic" is so important to me, btw. it has REAL impact on people w/psychosis when the association w/our diagnosis is so negative and false. this is the case even in medical settings! we are treated SO BADLY due to these misconceptions. people DIE sometimes

went for a walk the other day and legit got blessed by this sight

I just called my reps using @5calls.org !! Remember to use your legal name so that they can properly verify you as a constituent (I asked for confirmation of this from the staffer I spoke with). ❤️✨ 5calls.org/issue/lgbtq-...

The protest comes after Israeli forces intercepted the last remaining vessel sailing towards the besieged Gaza Strip.

Pretty amazing that Eurovision decided it was worth sacrificing Iceland, Ireland, Netherlands, Slovenia and Spain just to have Israel on

Shoutout to the very senior professor in HCI who gave a talk last month about how AI can do qualitative data analysis better than people now.

think i just got the perfect Dwarf Fortress notification.

i try not to get too much enjoyment out of other people's suffering (bad vibes) or from any kind of unsustainable external source (too chaotic). but i would watch 200 million videos of tech CEOs who don't know that college kids hate them getting booed by students at commencement

mmmmm girl soup

not having an instagram or tiktok account is funny sometimes. my friends will send me things and i'm like thank you SO much for thinking of me. i am literally not allowed to see this

In 2020 @yaelrice.bsky.social and I authored this article to dispute this kind of pseudo-scientific research, which regularly gets press attention, precisely so that others don't have to cope with the tedium of refuting it. Here's the refutation you need! hyperallergic.com/how-scientis...

Or as I put it in the abstract to a talk I recently gave cdh.princeton.edu/events/2026/...

Over a year ago, I spoke with @rasheedabueideh.bsky.social about Dreams on a Pillow for a piece that was killed before it could be published. I am honored that he was willing to take the time to speak with me again in spite of that and tell me about his beautiful homeland: kotaku.com/upcoming-ste...

For the first time, the IDF decided to do their piracy during the day, probably because the GSF would've been able to reach Cyprus before nightfall. That means there are pictures. I also want to point out that Israel is burning millions of dollars committing naval and air force resources to this.

So uh...some people might be aware of the fact that when they made a girl version of Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life, they just kinda had to pick from the dudes who were already there for the bachelors, none of them were designed with women in mind AND I FORGOT THE MANUAL JUST FUCKING SAYS THIS??
