You totally get to rest and restore in whatever way works best for you. Maybe that’s sleeps. Maybe it’s building something. Maybe it’s harnessing dark forces. Whatever works. Just remember your meds and water too!

and folks are already telling others to let it go and be chill about it. come on now. emotions don't work like that. stop telling people not to feel bad stuff about bad stuff happening especially to people who have had the same happen to them, and who likely didn't receive justice or remuneration.

Sort of insane fact about how broken US urban planning is—America now spends more building *just the lights for roads and highways* than on all subways & ground mass transit combined Spending on roadway *pavement* is 18x transit spending

I've heard people make claims that AI would lead to a new Renaissance, but I didn't imagine it'd happen like this:

Screenshot of a Tweet from Pope Leo XIV. It reads:

"In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgen to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity."

So my wonderful wife, @tekla.bsky.social, is one of the workers who was laid off Wednesday. The article is honestly too fair to A4TE leadership, who have handled this with a baffling level of hostility and callousness. And yes, they were notified with a one-sentence email starting “Dear Employee”

Workers fought to save jobs at a national trans rights group. Then came a one-sentence layoff email

Advocates for Trans Equality says a $2.4 million deficit forced painful cuts. Its union says management rejected alternatives that could have saved jobs.

In ideal situations, there are certain guardrails in place to protect students from exploitation by more senior academics. But there are no institutional policies or guardrails that can make it okay for a professor to become involved with a student in their own department.

This is part of what makes student-faculty romantic/sexual relationships so incredibly damaging for students. Any perception (however unfair) of impropriety, lack of seriousness, "trying to get ahead with sex," "creating drama," etc, can end a career, even if both parties are willing participants.
