Meaningful news earlier today. Many of you read and reacted to this story earlier this year on this Samoan woman in Alaska who was being prosecuted for voting alongside many in her family. A judge tossed her case today—a huge win, if just a first step in her story.

Americans by Name, Punished for Believing It - Bolts
In a small Alaska town, American Samoans face prosecution for voting in the only country they’ve ever known. They live in a limbo, created by colonial expansion, that now confuses even public official...

Advice would be appreciated. My spouse's social security number is wrong in @experian-us.bsky.social's system, and there is no way for him to reach an actual human to fix it without first verifying his "correct" number. We don't know which digit they have wrong. Thoughts/ideas?

I’m very into what someone once brilliantly described as the “sports tapas” vibe of the Olympics I want to try one bite of a dozen different things I’ve never tried before in between chowing down every bite of my vat of paella the paella is skating this is a rather labored metaphor

people who say that all creative endeavor can be replaced with AI probably need to reckon with the fact that all televised sports events with human athletes could easily be replicated by high-definition computer-animated simulations….and yet we don’t do this and no one seems to want to.

So I had a dentist appt today and my hygienist was sniffling the whole time he was cleaning my teeth and sneezed once and had to leave to blow his nose. I swear if my immunocompromised ass is sick over Christmas because of the DENTIST I'm gonna be so pissed.

Been thinking on the use of GenAi for mood boards. Ethics and legal risks aside, I truly believe using GenAi as references deprives one of many pivotal things. Here’s a blurb on what I mean:
Some thoughts:
When using GenAi as a mood board you don't get sources. This means you deprive yourself from knowledge.
You generated a location? You deprived yourself of knowing more about the interesting parts of the world and why things came to be.
Generate an armor or costume? You deprived yourself on real world techniques, function, form and history.
You generated art inspirations? You deprive yourself of learning about artists from history or lock out living ones from potentially being hired.
Ethical issues of using GenAi models aside, one ends up making visuals mood boards devoid of reality and history. With it one deprives themselves from learning about our world and who is living in it, inadvertently making your work weaker, because of how detached it is from our shared human reality and history.

A bride in a white dress stands looking out a stone arch at a red moon while holding a bloodied knife. Her hands and hair are red with blood. The bottom of dress descends into a puddle of blood dripping off the steps.

I chanced upon a modern Hanbok design and I got inspired. #MiscArt | #KPopDemonHunters | #SajaBoys | #Abby | #fanart
A digital artwork of Abby Saja of the Saja Boys from KPop Demon Hunters.

Abby is wearing a modern rendition of a Baeja, baggy trousers reminiscent of a Baji with a Sejodae tied around it and boots with traditional Hyejang patterns.

the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.

I think it's good to keep getting mad about evil and unjust things, if only to remind yourself and everyone else that these things are in fact evil and unjust. I don't think it's naive. Nor is it wise and sophisticated to adopt a "You fool, nothing matters and nothing good can ever happen" posture

Love is when you're having a bad day, so your spouse not only bakes brownies while you're out running errands, but also understands that an 8"x8" pan should be divided into four servings.

I will say I agree with these results with the caveat that the definition of "weird" here is the one used to describe certain despicable people in the last presidential election cycle.
Test result: Romantic Autumn Core. 3x3 grid with image and text pairings including a mouth with a tongue sticking out and "Nobody knows real me," a distressed face and "Drained by crowds," a neutral face emoji and "Overthinker," a water drop and "Disappears randomly," sunglasses and "intuitive," a red x and "Hates weird people," angel wings and "Too many secrets," an orange leaf and "Good at counseling," and a party popper and "Stressed when plan changes."

Image, icons, and theme courtesy of @pikaole.bsky.social. These sea pancakes give me a little serotonin boost EVERY time I unlock my phone and all the other backgrounds and icons are equally as precious 😭

They are on a white plate and surrounded by strawberries and blueberries. The plate sits on a blue checkered napkin, and the image has a light pink background.

This is heartbreaking news. Andrea Gibson's work was the first time poetry fully broke me down into sobs. Such a beautiful legacy, and I'm so grateful for the impact their words have had on my life.
