This is like saying "if your cancer doesn't go into remission, we won't approve treatment." Which tbh, he would do if he could.

This is where all the things everyone loves about living in a civil & civic community start to die. Like food, clothes, art, books, video games, movies, public parks, libraries, walkable neighborhoods, clean air, etc? TOO BAD! Go be a* lawyer or a doctor or join the military -those are your options.

I think about this literally every time I add a record to the museum database, which is hosted by the quite lovely folks at Catalogit. Which we moved to when the person behind our former software vanished without a trace.

Once in high school & once in college I was the one who decked a dude for putting hands on a girl in a threatening way. Neither guy ever did it again, least not that I ever heard. Not proud but also not sorry. Actions have consequences.

Read this article this morning. "June saw the biggest one-month drop in prime age labor force participation of workers ages 25 to 54, excluding the Covid-19 pandemic, since June 1976. Roughly 720,000 people stopped working or looking for work between May and June, according to the St. Louis Fed."

Common word or phrase you struggle with saying, I'll go first: Dish soap. Dishoap, every damn time. I can say "She sells sea shells by the sea shore" just fine, but not "dish soap." Like just now, "Vincent, can you please put dishoap on the grocery list? Dishoap. Dish. Soap. Dangit."

This is your cue to start making calls to your electeds and demanding they make damn sure they don't have a similar "error" in your state, county, and town.

I emailed a library asking for a small but annoying favour, and they did me a big favour and it's provided absolutely crucial data for a new project and publication, and slopAI could never and yay for humans, and librarians and archivists in particular.

Please someone make it stop. It's just an embarrassment to keep pretending this is how the US wants to be represented on the world stage, by someone so self-centered, so deeply out of touch with reality, so steeped in criminality and corruption,with zero regard for anyone or anything. #VoteBlue

We cannot continue to treat this marketing buzzword "AI" as a technological product when it is, in fact, a political project veiling itself in permission structures normally assigned to "tech."

Art is inherently political. You may not like that, but it is true. If you make ttRPGs, you are making art. The sooner you embrace these things, the better off you will be. Make art, change your world. THEY, are scared out of their minds by Art and Artists. Make ART, any way you can! RESIST.

Trans rights ARE human rights. If you are so mean-spirited that you’re willing to accept that any group of already marginalized people is somehow deserving of even greater oppression, then I’m disappointed in you. It’s so damn easy to let people live with all the same rights you have.

I truly, deeply, sincerely do think the guy flipping burgers at McDonalds should be able to afford rent, bills, and groceries with his paycheck alone. That's kind of the whole point of having a job and I can't believe this is considered a radical position.🤷🏽‍♀️

Hey, #ttrpg #pbta #dnd folks, you might want to go check if your stuff is up on Scribd without your permission. I just reported links for about twenty of our games, & I see a lot of other work up there. They appear to have a decent take-down policy, but you have to submit the form. www.scribd.com

Every adult human needs to learn how to survive and even thrive despite persistent, biased structures in society that strive to keep them down. African American history is necessary education, not just for moral reasons, but for practical perspective on "what it takes" and "what it costs."

Quick round of #3ThingsGratitude before midnight*! Today I 1. Got to see the golden crescent moon setting under a clear sky full of stars. 2. Had a nice talk with Elliot while washing dishes. 3. Sorted out a work thing very satisfactorily. *(if you're on the east coast of the US, at least)

1. Got a gold star from my dental hygienist today, who quietly told the dentist "excellent home care here," when they came to check. 2. Just ate more caramel popcorn than was strictly wise & now I have popcorn skin in my freshly-cleaned teeth. Win some, lose some!

This thread is great, and I’m going to extend my assumption that a real person wrote it, because yes, it’s kind of bizarre and unsettling to live in a world where that’s a reasonable question.

It's so easy not to accept the narrative of the world the right builds. They don't even have to take a courageous stance! If you can't rebuke the imagined reality of kitty litter in schools and forced surgeries, how are you going to be able to do ANYTHING to fix things

vul·gar·ian an unrefined person, especially one with newly acquired power or wealth: "he is a jumped-up vulgarian" In Ireland we say someone is a vulgarian, if they are loud, vulgar, a show off or in this case 1 example is he guilds everything in gold paint but its still covering shoddy workmanship.

What knowledge or skill do you need to be thinking about intentionally passing down? For me, I have to teach all my kids the basics of caning chairs, which is a legacy skill in my mother’s family, and hand sewing to mend textiles, which is part of my life’s work.

Thread, but this is my pull quote. If you’re not actively cultivating training streams to ensure the highly skilled & knowledgeable person who replaces you when you retire/die will be replaced in turn by someone similarly qualified, you’re planning for all your knowledge & skill to die with you.

Forbes says more than $11.6 trillion in U.S. debt was added under Trump, while crypto and foreign deals poured over $1 billion into his pockets. You pay the interest. Trump pays off his mortgages. That is corruption hitting your wallet. #CorruptTrumpRegime #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory
