Your Cherokee words for today. The top word is English followed by how it is written in the Cherokee language followed by how it is spelled in English then how to pronounce it phonetically. Jhoo-Nee-Suh-Stee Ooh-Luh-Sah-Tee Uh-Dah-Lee

This is your occasional reminder that generative "AI" in particular could have been developed on public domain materials and/or licensed and compensated works but the major players intentionally, methodically and systemically chose to steal labor from working creative folks instead

I've been waiting 4 months to get into an OBGYN appointment and they just called to reschedule and push it out again because she won't be in that day. They blather on about wait times in Europe and Canada, but we not only get to wait just as long, we get to pay 4,000x more for it.

There's no such thing as enough cats but there can be too many cats. The only way to see that line is after you've already crossed it.

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

Beaked sauropods? A new study suggests that sauropods had beaks or at least some kind of beak like structure. Now this isn’t a totally new idea. This new study looks at the skull of Camarasaurus and other sauropods. Camarasaurus specifically is a focus because of its teeth. 👇👇

Hey, artists? Never, ever, ever say "I don't want them to pay too much" for a commission. For a sticker? A book? Sure. A comm? If they agree to the price, then that's a good price. Negotiate, sure, but don't lowball yourself. If it's easy, that's because you're skilled. And skill isn't cheap.

The bar is obscenely low in Texas. But I'm not exactly thrilled the current face of trying to change things decided to sit on it. Is it really so much to ask for a representative to include our friends and family in the trans community among the people they'll represent?

Let's take a minute to 'think about them beans'. Toe beans, that is. Why do some animals have little pink nubs on their feet, while others... don't? Let's start by looking at the-things-between-the-beans minus the fur. Time to look at a Sphynx cat's foot, up close. CW: cannot be UNSEEN.😬
