A beautiful mackerel sky on this crisp fall morning. Great way to start the day.

Beautiful friend from my collection. No date/info.
Black and white photo of a black medium haired cat lying on grass, looking up at the camera. It looks like it has pure white eyes with no pupils but it’s overwhelmingly likely that it's just light blow out from overexposure.

Semi-random thinking of Naoko Takeuchi saying they put us in the POV of men too often in the original Sailor Moon cartoon and Rumiko Takahashi complaining about the Nazi-fanboys in the original Urusei Yatsura anime.

The NHS is already one of the biggest perpetrators of anti-trans violence in the UK. This new guidance, which refers to trans people using slurs, demands that we be segregated and abused. I’ve said it before: senior NHS managers must be sacked and punished for what they’ve done to us.

There's NO ethical use of this technology as long as it's built on theft, environmentally harmful, damaging to systems of information and education, our own well-being, and lining the pockets of billionaires. Even if this were all somehow "solved", IMO there's no place for AI in arts, period.

Our guy is out on the open water at night. Silhouetted against a purplish night sky he paddles a small boat with a single oar through a massive congregation of alligators. He had told the gators earlier that their eyes would sparkle in the moonlight. Reader, he was correct and he lets the gators know. “Gators,” he says. “ I told ya your eyes would sparkle in the moonlight.”

You are loved. Even by a stranger. Even if you cannot see, hear, or feel it. Even if you dislike me for whatever reason, you are loved by me for simply being. The mere act of even the smallest infinitesimal amount of joy is both defiance, persistence, insistence, and resistance. Spread that.
