Hey cuties. You need a valentine set right now, I can tell. It's only $20. You get 20 of them, 4 designs, & each one has a little fact inside. I need a little more cashflow into Skype a Scientist to do the amount of shit I want to do this year. These valentines are a good start! SquidFacts.net

Whatever my uni declares, I am not going to engage with AI. I am not going to use AI or teach students to use it. I am going to continue to explain to students why it is harmful. Absolutely absurd to allow this anti-intellectual, environmentally devastating technology into the university at all.

Me, the week before the new semester starts:

Hey, I know a lot of you use Discord. You need to get on this survey and make it damn clear to them that this would be the absolute wrong direction. The last thing we need is the slop-spewing environment-chewing plagiarism bots invading there, too. discord.sjc1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...?

Important info for teachers.

they'll kill you when you tell them you're not mad they'll kill you when you tell them you're furious might as well be furious

all this is both foolish and unnecessary

Welcome to 2026. 🥳😮‍💨

All hail the New Year's Pigeon!

We're trying to get to 50% of our goal for Black Zine Fair by tomorrow at midnight. Donations are tax deductible. gogetfunding.com/black-zine-f...

I saw a tiktok that said: "You deserve a break. Stop healing. Crash Out. Choose Violence. Do. It. For. The. Plot" And i feel like this is the energy we should enter 2026 with

Fine, whatever, this random cat is your new god of the winter solstice

I would like to thank the pope for giving me so much ammunition to use against my Catholic MAGA relatives.

Techbros seem to love Tolkien, so here's an analogy to help you understand what genAI is. GenAI is The One Ring. You think your use is justified, b/c you don't have evil in your heart. But it came from evil, it is intended for evil purpose, & anything you do with it will be twisted to that end.

Don’t fuck with archivists. They are librarians with sociopathic tendencies.

Things are Terrible, but this isn't. Be weird.

One of my favorite parts of law school was getting to read the ridiculous things people did with consumer products that required companies to add really specific warning labels to their products.

Holy shit. In law school I wrote a paper arguing that we should bring back privateering as part of the war on drugs. I was not at all serious and just wanted an excuse to research and write about pirates. And now they've actually done it.

Blocking trans kids from care is evil. Its not 'caring'. Its not 'being a concerned parent'. Its evil. Its staring someone who is telling your their truth in the eye and saying truth means nothing, and your ignorance means more. Trans kids want to live. Deny them, and you want the opposite.

Goodnight.

I don't know what to say about this garbage vote to criminalize gender affirming care btw. Been trying to find the words. I hear so many friends in sadness and fear today but of what use is "I hear you"? Not much I fear. To live through this moment sucks ass (negative). We must find a way through

Pediatric phalloplasty is something that takes place when there is severe genital injury or a congenital condition. I have not been able to find a single report of phalloplasty performed on a transgender minor. This is grotesque fear-mongering.

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality. And trans lives are grounded in reality. We see y'all. No matter what. www.popsci.com/science/tran...

I think it's time for Bluesky to meet Gnome With a Tome: our family's version of elf on a shelf. Instead of snitching on you to Santa, Gnome With a Tome wanders around the house leaving you books.

Primary them all and block anybody who comes with the “at this crucial juncture the most important thing is that we win.” if they believed that they wouldn’t do this and with friends like them nobody needs enemies

this field biologist does a great job highlighting the insidiousness of AI editing these one-click AI edit buttons are incredibly appealing to many photographers, amateurs and professionals alike, and are framed as innocuous this is worth sharing and educating people about

THE MERCHANT

“I am so bored by AI. One of the things I love about the theatre is AI can’t do it.” Ethan Hawke is a dude 👌🏻

The most important political fault line of our time is over whether children are people or property.

This song is rad and I am very old.

"I keep thinking that evil would like nothing better than to have us feel awful about who we are."

Low key love that my post office is one of those Depression Era buildings made to give people jobs and still has the OG mural inside cause back then the government understood artsy people needed jobs too.

As a vegetarian, shaming people for their diet feels a lot like shaming people for their religion (or lack thereof). Like, yeah, all the dead turkeys make me sad, but it probably also makes some of my relatives sad that I'm going to hell for not believing in god. We just keep it all to ourselves.

One more reason to love David Tennant.

Hey yall not what I wanted to do on my birthday but let it be clear "Death of the artist" is all well & good but you cannot Seperate the art from the artist when the artist is still alive, a terf & every penny they recieve reinforces their beliefs & is used to actively harm Trans folks! Let it Go!

saturation with Tolkien spinoffs has somehow not prepared our culture for the arrival of dark lords bearing a gift that everyone becomes convinced they can wield to accomplish great things but just makes them dependent and start whispering about preciouses if you suggest just throwing it away

Why am I so against generative AI in games? Because I simply do not want my initial reaction to art to be one of suspicion and scrutiny, AI slop is fundamentally damaging my relationship to art and artistry, and I am deeply resentful that it is forcing me to be guarded when I should be wowed.

it's neat that university boards are saying "actually our classes will not teach you to think bc we know that's very scary, so from now on our degrees are meaningless bc we will let students come here and decide to give us money so they can choose not to learn shit, this is a good longterm plan" 🫠

Ballet [1/4]

i’m ready for something different than whatever the fuck this is

Cowards die many times before their deaths, The valiant never taste of death but once.

I'm rage laughing but I'm still laughing

I say again: A decade ago progressive Christian me was a hard no on the existence of Hell both morally and theologically and now I’m like listen bitch, Hell BETTER exist and if it doesn’t I will make one with my bare fucking hands and the force of my hatred

If I wasn't already boycotting Target, this would make me start boycotting Target.

Reposting because, and I say this with love, some of you are going to see this and go “oh shit, I need to check my bottle” and then immediately forget about it so if this could affect you, go check right now before you even scroll to the next post, I mean it.
