Reposted by LibraryGothKeith Decent @keithdecent.bsky.social · 18/05/2025The big “why do you hate AI?” Thread got comments and quotes turned off, but here’s the main reason I hate AI: It’s being developed by the worst people on the planet solely to enrich themselves at the expense and labor of the world’s vulnerable populations. Everything else stems from that 3251981736

Many also have dvds, cds, board games, video game systems, internet hot spots, streaming services, computers, ebooks, audio books, park passes, museum passes, passport services and so much more! Maybe it's time for a visit 📚❤️ 32762209

Reposted by LibraryGothNicole Filippone, Autistic Advocate & Author @nicolefilippone.bsky.social · 20/05/2025People say "you don't look autistic" like it's a compliment. But at this point I just find it incredibly insensitive. Either you are questioning my diagnosis or you're telling me you think autism is something to be ashamed of. Either way, it's not the compliment you think it is. 2646056
