An EEOC investigator has *finally* been assigned to my partner's case. It's been a year. There are approx 70 judges for 10,000+ pending cases.

Coworker build a learning exercise using AI, then could not explain how the exercise was supposed to be run or how it would benefit the participants we were teaching. Cool, you made a neat form, but.. how can it help if you don't know what it DOES? The literacy crisis deepens.

One of the biggest stories of 2027 will be the savagery of the GOP's Medicaid cuts. But the most indefensible cruelty has already begun, with disabled kids being ripped from their homes and sent to asylums, @matthewcort.land told me.

It is the duty of the extremely online to send this to your friends, relatives, or colleagues who own portable generators.

Three geese flying with carbon monoxide alarms on their backs. The geese are flying through an intense blizzard over the US. The geese are wearing wool hats with pom poms on top. They are not afraid. The text reads: Carbon monoxide safety geese brigade. Ever loud! Every lifesaving! Ever bird! Make sure your carbon monoxide alarms are working. Keep your portable generator outdoors and 20 feet away from your home!

Made it to the concert. Carried a bit of my friend with me, only cried twice. Don't think I've ever gone 30 years between seeing a band before, @thebandcake.bsky.social was a perfect first for that list.

Recently my partner mentioned that I have a "moth sound". While I do have an irrational fear of moths I assumed this was creative license on his part. Tonight I walked up and asked "Do you have a second?" to which he replied "Is there a moth"? And there was a moth. So I guess he's right

At NMAAHC last week a group of high school kids bounded into the room containing Emmett Till's casket. A tall young woman went up on her tiptoes trying to see inside the casket, then turned, said "Oh well, I can find it online" and they all bounded back out. Not ALL the kids are alright, WTF

*sigh* If your Kickstarter video/image is AI, I won't back it. If your book has an AI cover, I won't read it. If you're a public supporter of AI use for creative work, I will unfollow you. I cannot stress enough how offensive I find AI use in the arts. It is outright theft, it is lazy, it is gross.

My friend was the "music friend" since the day I met him. We were constantly swapping music and we went to dozens of concerts together. Shuffling my playlist is like walking through an emotional minefield right now.
