Katie post hair cut tax. I should have taken a pic of all the hair. She still needs her belly trimmed, but we can do that later.

Just a reminder that people don’t always realize they were raped in the immediate aftermath. It can take hours, days, months, and even years to realize you were raped, and it doesn’t make it any less true. There are many kinds of responses, including fawning and trying to appease your rapist

Write the stuff that makes your weird little heart sing. It’s so much livelier than the safe stuff. Just use the damn journals and inks. Pretty things are meant to be used. Your boss will read your books. There’s nothing wrong with it. But be prepared for that.

Omigod, this is the most heartwarming story possible! Backpack (bear 89) is the son of the 2019 winner of Fat Bear Week, Holly (bear 435). In 2007, he injured his foot & a practice of riding on momma's Holly's back had a new meaning: he was mobility-restricted while it healed. So Holly moved him.

From DISCVR blog's Facebook page, a momma bear & a yearling cub on her back in the shallow water. I think the background has been swapped out, and I can't rule out some AI use there? God, Facebook has become the social media for AI slop : (

The title of the article, which I link below, is "How Bear 89 earned the name Backpack"

I'm so glad I have my partner because if I tried to date as an adult, I don't think my face could hide my feelings... and there'd be a good chance I would just tell someone they sound like an absolute horror. As an aside, more people on Reddit need to be told they sound like horrors.

Developing research skills means not jumping to conclusions based on one piece of evidence. A competent researcher cross-checks evidence, looks for context, and interrogates their own biases. And we certainly don’t shoehorn evidence into a predetermined conclusion. Talking to you, Eric Schmidt.
