Characters vaguely resembling Erica Lukes @ericalukes.bsky.social & Vanessa Walilko @kalibutterfly.bsky.social have a good time discussing eerie adventures, haunted locations & much more on a Halloween edition of UFO Classified. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1E23...

Registration is now open for my October Pace Yourself Workshop! Check out the feedback from the August participants! If you can’t make this date, a recording will be available on demand after this event. #Fatigue #Chroniclllness #ADHD #Autism #Neurodivergent #Burnout #SelfCare #LongCOVID #MECFS

As Vanessa Walilko @kalibutterfly.bsky.social explained in a discussion with me for @expandingfrontiersresearch.org is commonly understood among sociologists specializing in domestic violence, the ‘justice’ system often commits the second assault.

when the AI bubble finally collapses and everyone who spent a year smugly hyping it suddenly has to come crawling back with their tail between their legs, i just want to say i am not going to be the bigger person about it. i am going to be meaner than you can even believe

I haven’t been this excited for a bubble to burst since I was a toddler.

artists who use ai should get their hands replaced with huge unliftable boulders

I had to double-check that I wasn't on Twitter.

If you are a gamer or enjoy any kind of media, I encourage you to watch this video about the Steam, itch. io, and payment processor hit job being undertaken by 'Collective Shout' and their attempt to try and ban/censor video games. It is an important topic regarding censorship in our lives.

Like many technologies, AI is designed to kill humans, but in the most soulless way possible, stripping away even our ability to own and express our pain. Bertolt Brecht: "In the dark times, will there also be singing? Yes, there will be singing, about the dark times.” AI: NOT SO FAST

I can enjoy folklore, tolerate differing political opinions, & have fun with a good flying saucer story, but where I see red flags is when we're unable to agree on facts. We can debate what facts *indicate* but we can't be in conflict about what has & has not been established as fact.

This kind of framing from CBC is a great sign that the pressure is working!!! Keep calling and yelling at these payment processors!

@liminallibrarian.bsky.social is dedicated to doing this

An investigation into the use by federal agencies of AI in the FOIA process shows intelligent research methods as well as interesting results. Verdict still out on DOJ, NARA, CIA and others.

Very excited for next month!

I think about this every day

i heard reading is fundamental

Last week Prasad and Makary announced their new plan to make COVID boosters not available for those without high-risk conditions. Even they recognized pregnancy as a high risk condition. Today their boss said nope, no COVID vaccines for pregnant people. Another decision that will kill people

How to be an ally and support your colleagues with long COVID. Some good tips here but the whole article is drivel because they forgot to mention to wear masks www.timeshighereducation.com/campus/how-b...

I wrote about Republicans’ efforts to restrict access to COVID vaccines, and how this aligns with ongoing efforts to claim that COVID is the problem of a few “vulnerable” individuals, rather than a collective public health crisis. Read here: www.thegauntlet.news/p/republican...

The worst cowards out there are the ones that say things like "it's going to happen anyway so we may as get well get used to it" or "if I don't do it someone else is going to." Mf let it be someone else then?? You win no prizes for being the first to lick the boot. In fact, they respect you less.

If you want to be the first, be the first to say no. Be the first to step up and defend someone. Be the first to fight back. Be the first to say if they're going to do this, it's not going to be with my damn money or attention. Both bravery and cowardice are contagious. Remember that daily.

"My Years of No!" is out! It's a cute little reflection on my former people pleasing tendencies and my journey toward establishing boundaries and understanding myself better. wildramppublishing.bigcartel.com/product/my-y...

I went into my library's database of Chicago area newspapers to confirm this isn't fake, and it's not. @chicago.suntimes.com Why the hell are you using ChatGPT to make up book titles? You used to have a books staff. Absolutely no fact checking?

Yall fought “cancel culture” So now they are CANCELING CULTURE but hey those Black women are too financially precarious to make you feel bad And now everyone speaks like a used car salesman full on entitlement ,ayahuasca and SEO optimization BUT LETS ALL BE SHOCKED

And this is why saying “but AI can be therapists for ppl who can’t afford therapy!” is bullshit. Stop justifying this crap ffs www.theverge.com/policy/66568...

Every time I see a new ragebait Gen Z vs Millennial or Boomer vs Everyone article, I feel morally responsible to say this: It's all fake! A myth! Generational "differences" are all made up! It's all meaningless pop sociology that's rejected by experts & academics. Here's why:

A calculator that costs 1 trillion dollars, but it’s also wrong

Dear god let this man cook.

Shouldn't take more than a couple minutes - go do it, New Yorkers!

More Ramtha records posted today at Patreon. We'll have a public post at our blog on the latest releases soon. It was the 13th release from the sheriff's office since we submitted a records request in 2023, as explained in our 2024 video below. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Du0h...

Why people choose to harm the most vulnerable & protect the most affluent

A national autism registry is only possible because mandatory state-level autism registries in several states have existed for decades...and rights groups like the ACLU haven't pushed back against them yet. Here's a script for calling your state reps to ask them to abolish registries. #USPolitics

Both the Satanic Panic and the current transphobic moral panic are in large part efforts to pretend that rapists are not mostly dads and other authority figures

Grain of salt, but they absolutely noticed the response. Don’t let up.

Take your lunch break. Take your vacation. Take your PTO. Eat your damn croissant. The boss makes a dollar, you make a dime, post memes on company time. #birds #resist

As others have noted, if you’re not seeing this “pro-natalism” creepiness through the lens of the white nationalist Fourteen Words, you’re missing the point.
