Currently at: — only buy tech too old to have AI built in — painstakingly disable AI every time they add it to something that used to work perfectly well — if it can't be switched off, abandon the platform or tool — if there are no good alternatives, avoid the AI parts — patiently wait for the crash

Now add teachers, firefighters, agricultural workers, bus drivers, nurses, civil servants, all of us!

Treat the president’s statements seriously, as he intends far more severe consequences than this.

The world has lost a bright light. I'm grateful for all Jane brought to the world, it's an infinitely better place for her presence here.

CHAMPION THE ENEMY'S NEED Ask about your enemy's wounds and scars. Seek his hidden cause of trouble. Feed your enemy's children. Learn their word for home. Repair their well. Learn their sorrow's history. Trace their lineage of the good. Ask them for a song. Make tea. Break bread. Kim Stafford

Whimsy is an essential tool in the fight for democracy.

So your brother's bound and gagged And they've chained him to a chair Won't you please come to Chicago just to sing? In a land that's known as freedom How can such a thing be fair? Won't you please come to Chicago for the help that we can bring? www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pswv...

A traditional Native American ceremony is held at the Broadview. ICE Facility In Chicago, featuring a spiritual round dance of healing.

JUST NOW AT THE UN…

Every single one of you giving up on Trump, welcome on over. We want what’s best for ALL of us. We want to get you better healthcare, a cleaner environment, safer working conditions, investment in a future that benefits everyone rather than just billionaires. Come on over. Welcome.

"It is ironic that humans are trying to create computers that can 'think for themselves' and at the same time sending kids to school—explicitly wanting them to follow the instructions—making them learn how to think like a machine." Arjun Khemani

This is how I feel every single time I look at the news. (Alligator lizard fighting back from inside the belly of a King snake.)

My mother took Tylenol while pregnant with me. This is 100% why I am an overthinker with a weird sense of humor, plagued by perpetual astonishment and severe procrastination.* ~ *There is no definitive evidence to suggest my mother’s use of this medication was the cause. (see first comment.)

Fuck ICE. Cowardly bastards.

Imagine a president who advocated for justice & sustainability. Who spoke up for Palestinians & worked to heal his country's historic injuries. Here, Irish president Higgins beautifully honors the arts. Haunting to imagine how much the US could benefit from voting in such wisdom and empathy......

Hope is subject to extraordinary wear, so make sure yours is the durable variety.

Orlando restaurateur Trina Gregory turned 49 parking spots at Se7en Bites into art canvases to protest Florida’s ban on rainbow crosswalks. “If they want to erase symbols of pride and acceptance, then we’ll create even more,” she said. apnews.com/article/flor...

“Ultimately, schools should mirror the societies we want to have: societies not detached from nature, in which the rights of all are respected, in which our needs are not defined as in conflict with those of others, & in which life is about community, not competition.” @ecomentario.bsky.social

You never see me at the club? Well I never see you trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored.

Tim Walz: "I'll tell you what doesn't make people feel safe -- a tank next to Chipotle. It's stupid and it's for the cameras ... where are the 'don't tread on me' people?"

Education is not memorizing that Hitler killed six million Jews. Education is understanding how millions of ordinary Germans were convinced that it was required. Education is learning how to spot the signs of history repeating itself. ~Noam Chomsky

We're witnessing the most aggressive, fanatical crackdown on free speech in my lifetime. The speed and breadth of government censorship and private sector and nonprofit capitulation has been astonishing. As has the lack of urgency/silence from people who've long claimed to care about this stuff.

Trust AI? Not when AI owner promises to 'fix' the facts to fit ideology.

It is hard to stay hopeful. Every day a dozen new horrors. Not even topping the list is Fox News openly advocating a final solution for homeless people --- "involuntary lethal injection."

Can you imagine if we had instead invested those funds in climate, health care, and education instead of lining the pockets of the military industrial complex?
