Instead of asking chatgpt, why not ask a librarian? You'll get real answers and they won't tell you to kill yourself.

fyi these are lappet-faced vultures, an endangered species found throughout africa! the peregrine fund is supporting their conservation, check it out here: peregrinefund.org/explore-rapt...

It would seem that I am losing patience, for when the man in front of me asked why I was masked I promptly replied: “so I can outlive my enemies,” and based on the expression the man made in response it would seem that was one of my better responses to that question.

Quilt retreat day 3: - the cuteness of the hedgehog pincushion my spouse made me - our collective charity blocks will make a twin-size quilt - I started a new FPP project It was raining while we packed up; and today my migraine is flaring & energy is crashing, as expected — but 100% worth it.

We were very emotional watching the #ArtemisII mission this week, and celebrating Christina Koch, the first woman to travel to the moon, and Victor Glover, the first Black man do the same! Here’s another space first for you - Sally Ride the first (known) queer woman in space!

Everything that has ever happened, happened there.

It's such a crazy lack of understanding of the creative process Like imagine going up to someone solving a crossword and saying "Boy I wish you had something that solved that for you" and... no. No that's not the point at all. There's more to solving problems than just having a solved problem.

so much imperial capitalism is white men hawking shit they do not own or, as property law would have it, they do not have in their possession.

DEE DEE DEE! As the sun slowly set, and despite spending the day chatting incessantly, this Black-capped Chickadee still had a LOT to say! #Birds #photography #wildlife 🪶

Day 2 quilt retreat: finished the pink & yellow, made 4 blocks for our charity bee, took a quilt for a walk, spent some time in the hot tub, and had a friendly drink to cap it off. The food is great, especially for hobbits: potatoes at every meal, and second breakfast (pastries) mid-morning!

Twitter allows non consensual ai fakes & CSAM Tiktok builds addictive algorithm. Liberals: hmmm. It's the kids. We've got to regulate the kids.

Sorry I can’t help clean up right now I’m actually super busy

The govenrment has NO business restricting public access to public libraries.

Baby Rumi got into trouble when he got stuck inside the sleeve of the shirt ✨🙏😻😹

ok that's it. this is a wood duck I photographed yesterday

we’ve talked a lot about how AI might con people into believing bad things, but it is sad to think of how it will also make us stop believing in wondrous things too

I naively thought that if I just told the truth people would be so appalled they would want to intervene or help. But instead I found out that I was expendable. It wasn’t even a matter of being believed, it was just that our abuse was seen as an acceptable tradeoff for his continued leadership.

Your daily affirmation: Don't sit there feeling sorry for yourself. Get up, get out there, and actively feel sorry for yourself somewhere else.

Shouting into the TERF abyss: you know who DOES understand this, though? Trans people.

Great thread from @leahgazan.bsky.social

Happy Caturday from this absolute unit 🖤

I swear the AI bubble is making us stupider by the day

When he found that the administrators were upset, he laughed. “Do they expect students not to be anarchists?” he said. “What else can the young be? When you are on the bottom, you must organize from the bottom up”

Happy #Caturday Relax. Sun yourself. Judge.

Coming soon: New hummingbirds This tiny beauty made her perfect little nest on my neighbor's wind chimes. When she showed it to me, I thought the bird and nest were a decoration, but they're real. 🥺 #BlueSkyArtShow #new #SmallBirdSaturday #EastCoastKin #ECK

Memo to Alberta Separatists. Treaty 6 was signed in 1876 Treaty 7 was signed in 1877 Treaty 8 was signed in 1899 All signed with the country of Canada, between 6 and 29 years before Alberta became a province in 1905 You have no standing. So STFU you traitorous, racist pricks.

“We can achieve great things when we work together”—NASA after the Artemis II crew successfully splashed down yesterday If you are trying to make meaning out of why it has felt good to follow a space voyage over these last 11 days, might I suggest my latest piece for @theflytrapmedia.com?

Found this little fellow outside peering into our house tonight. 😂

EVERYBODY'S HOME!!!! god something about the mission commander being last out of the ship really got me. I know it's such a tiny thing but we're just surrounded all the time by leaders who don't give a shit and just like, the symbolism of making sure your people get out first is a lot

Never gonna shut up about how TEXTILES are what bring astronauts home safely from the moon.

This book is so much fun! The second is also out now, and the third on pre-order. Go snap it up!

I need a different kind of sleep. One that's restful.

Good morning! 🪶

It’s a kitten in the sunshine sort of day, don’t you think?

Just a friendly reminder that your desire to have a bookshelf with a rolling ladder is valid. Don’t allow anyone to disrespect you by telling you otherwise.

This is fucking bananas. This will isolate already marginalized kids. It is authoritarian. It will not reduce harm. Alarm bells should be ringing.

Every trans person who worked on Artemis & was fired from NASA deserves an apology & a million dollars each

Resurrecting this adorable kitten pic because this week… happened 🥴 And yet we’re still here. So we deserve to see beautiful things 😻🫶

We've been conditioned my entire adult life to bow down to the invisible hand of The Market. Well, guess what - the market doesn't wanted entitled asshole men as much as it used to

I don't know how to explain to the people who pop up when creatives complain about "AI" to say there are legit uses for it just how much they sound like someone saying "Well actually fire is used to make bread" when people are talking about an organized arson ring burning down their fucking houses

This may be the most adorable thread ever.
