Seeing every small business, be it a local restaurant, a moving company, whatever, all having AI logos and AI ads, really puts into perspective just how many artists are out of jobs now. All those little sustaining jobs where someone just needed a quick thing for $50 to $200 are just gone.

i cannot implore you enough to use respiratory protection that *really works* for what you’re facing. yes, the best mask is the mask you’ll wear, but when conditions are this bad, know that not all tools are created equal. if you can access something better and are able to wear it, it’s worth it.

Underneath the title it says:
Below is a visual side-by-side comparison of each mask.
Efficacy is always dependent on a good fit and seal.
The results of the chart are as follows:
KN95: filters 95% of particulate matter, filters exhalation, easier to breathe in.

Disposable P100: N95: filters 99.97% of particulate matter.
Reusable P100s with 60926 filters: filters 99.97% of particulate matter, filters gases and vapors.

And when (either able bodied or certain disabled) people tell you that we must not criticize AI because it might have access use-cases, its really important to push back with examples like this, but also how gAI will cut the kinds of freelance work many disabled people rely on, and cutting services.

The fact that J.K. Rowling successfully bullied Amnesty International into taking down a report that accurately called out her attack on trans people, especially trans women, is so repulsive and such a display of the power of her money, and her choice to put her vast fortune behind persecution.

I've been making an effort to spend more time reading webcomics than refreshing my feeds. It's tough to break out of The Scroll, but reading those archives has been really rewarding! You can do it, too, if you try! 🏪🔗 shop.raizap.com [ #art #merch #webcomics #shopsmall ]
A design featuring a confused, stressed out dog looking at their phone in despair and a happy cat who is enjoying themselves. The icons from the dog's phone represent the broken Earth on fire, A.I. slop, and endless, evil ads. The icons from the cat's phone represent a fire-breathing dragon, two characters sharing a loving kiss, and an alien with a UFO.

The text between them reads, "STOP DOOMSCROLLING READ WEBCOMICS!!"Two hands hold the physical bumper sticker of the previous image against a painted cinder block wall.

Remember that you are more likely to become disabled than not. You can be disabled by illness, injury, climate disasters, war, police brutality, unmitigated pandemics, lack of access to healthcare, etc. Disability justice is for us all, and it’s foundational to all other forms of justice.

Mspaint doodle- a person strides forward, wearing a shirt with a trans flag. They say "I LOVE being trans!". They have an expression of pure glee.The person is stopped by someone else, who accusingly points while they say "You! Justify your happiness to me!"The accosting person says "Debate me no-". They are cut off by the person in the trans shirt saying "No thank you!" as lasers shoot from their eyes, exploding the head of the other character in a cartoonish fashion.The accosting person stands, alive but expressionless as their headless torso smolders. The person in the trans shirt walks away, a stupidly happy grin still present.

We are not the first people, or the first country, to suffer under a tyrannical government that does not respect our lives, or our rights. There is a method for how to effectively resist, and eventually topple, such a regime. We can learn from others who came before us. This is my favorite guide.

Estimated Total: $238.382024 WTTW Chicago Public TV article on Illinois' biggest Republican political donors:


“…Trump’s Top Donors

With a combined $10 million donation to the Make America Great Again Super PAC, billionaires Richard and Elizabeth Uihlein are the second-biggest backers of Trump’s reelection bid —  though their contribution has been dwarfed by the $75 million kicked in by banking heir Timothy Mellon.

The Uihleins, Lake Forest residents and owners of the shipping products company Uline, are longtime conservative political donors. Uline, which was once headquartered in Illinois, moved in 2010 to Wisconsin — also home to Schlitz Brewing, to which Richard Uihlein is an heir.

The Uihleins have long been active in Illinois politics. They supported former Gov. Bruce Rauner in his successful 2014 election bid. In 2018, they backed his unsuccessful challenger in the Republican gubernatorial primary, then-state Rep. Jeanne Ives. They’ve also supported U.S. Rep. Mary Miller (R-Springfield), who drew widespread condemnation for approvingly quoting Adolf Hitler in a 2021 speech; failed Illinois gubernatorial and congressional candidate Darren Bailey; and U.S. Rep. Darin LaHood (R-Peoria).”
