I'm really stressed about insurance this month. I write articles as a way to earn enough to cover the bills, but last months article didn't make as much as I needed it to cause I published it mid month. docseuss.medium.com/i-completed-... If you like it, please share and tip, I need about $1200

In March 2018, I ended up in the ER. I had been working far, far too much and too hard and it turns out I had a congenital heart defect…

#Boktober day 3! A very heraldic take on the unicorn-looking Rosecomb Bantam. #art

A rosecomb bantam rooster posed with his body floating vertically and his clawed feet grasping out, reminiscent of heraldic poses. He has a long, pointed comb reminiscent of a unicorn horn and has a jeweled crown around his neck. A chain is connected to the crown and loosely wraps over his body.

This is going to push some sovcits into the stratosphere. They've been saying that the US Treasury automatically opens an account for you at birth for years. It's core sovcit "how economics works" theory. Why TF are we feeding that unhinged crowd?

EVEN IF generative AI... had guardrails against abuse (it doesn't) was good for the environment (it's not) and was accurate all the time (not even close) it was still created by scraping billions of works of creative labour without consent, compensation, or even notification.

Went on a bird walk Saturday morning and my favorite siting was 4 Wilson's Snipes foraging along the shore with a background of yellow flowers. #WaderWednesday #Birds

Masses of yellow daisy-like flowers and light blue sky reflected in still water along the shore of a shallow stream. The shoreline is in the upper quarter of the image, and there are 2 Wilson's Snipes standing in the shallow water of the shoreline.

PSA: My doctor emailed me last week to say she's already seeing flu cases in her practice and to go ahead and get the shot. In the past she's advised to wait until later in October because efficacy wanes over time but this year she says go ahead and get it ASAP.

It’ll become easier for students to fall through the cracks. Options for discovery in a vast curriculum will diminish. We will still be able to train people for the careers, jobs and vocations of yesterday, but not so much for tomorrow.

the problem with trying to imitate the opening speech from Patton is that you're actually trying to ape George C. Scott. And I don't care who you are, you will never sound tougher or more manly than George C. Scott. It's a fool's errand.

Gobsmacked by the elite levels of not knowing ball in the Senate today, thinking an NBA team is called the Hawkeyes then, refusing to Google it, then accusing a guy of treason because you didn’t know the Iowa Lady Hawkeyes aren’t in the NBA. Somehow I don’t trust these people to Save Girls Sports.

When I taught at an all-boys prep school, we'd do an activity where I had them list every sexual term they could think of. They'd often laugh, as many were absurd things meant for Urban Dictionary. We'd then go through how many terms were violent (~85%) and how many were male-dominant (~90%).

Also, I'm only half kidding. If you ever want a 100% way to communicate you love someone? Pay attention for a bit and figure out something they never have enough of when they need it and then just... have some for them. You will never feel so loved as when someone says "I have some if you need it."
