At this stage of industrial development, to not have a Universal Basic income and Universal Healthcare is downright uncivilized.

I am so happy to see this. I’ve looked up to Adam since I was a kid. He made me realize being odd and weird was a good thing. His book, “Every Tool’s A Hammer,” inspired me to write my Gryphon Generation series. We have the best new addition to our community. www.youtube.com/watch?v=XEf_...

Last night's aurora is frozen to the sky this morning. A few dragons are trying to chip away bits of it, undoubtedly to sell them for exorbitant prices at a later time. #Writing

I remember going to my best friend's for dinner in the 10th grade and the next day in school she told me her dad asked cautiously, "Is Rook your best friend?" "Yeah?"..."Is her hair... PURPLE?" XD

It's a lot more popular now, but I used to do a friend's Mohawk that eerily luminous highlighter yellow about 20 years back. There's even some that glows under black light. Me, I've never worn any shade of yellow. Just don't dig it

And if course, highlighter hair has been my look almost full time these 35 years

I kind of love how embracing of unpredictable styles the youngs are. Way wider spectrum of looks with less mockery from the plebes

Sorry man, not gonna diss hairstyles as they trend. I don't like 'em all, but fashion cycles and so does pushing limits. Ex, the modern wolf cut style is essentially a mullet, but quite attractive. I still shave my full head to the same height as my front hairline but I like to watch styles

Stop using AI. Yes, even just for fun. AI is built on STOLEN images and text. That’s right: by using it, you’re stealing from your friends. There is NOT ethical generative AI. Bonus bullshit: it is HORRENOUS for the environment. (Yes, even the cutesy profile photo cartoon things.)

Called my congressman who voted for the SAVE act. Me: What documents will I need to vote if this passes? Staffer: a DL and birth certificate. Me: The documents don’t match Staffer: Then a marriage certificate. Me: Will my husband need the marriage certificate too? Staffer: No Me: See the problem?

Thank you so much to my visual designer on this project Kristina. I always jump at the chance to make something that relates to natural sciences! Read the article here: www.quantamagazine.org/intelligence...

Intelligence Evolved at Least Twice in Vertebrate Animals | Quanta Magazine

Complex neural circuits likely arose independently in birds and mammals, suggesting that vertebrates evolved intelligence multiple times.

This was made for “Intelligence Evolved at Least Twice in Vertebrate Animals” for Quanta. The premise is that intelligence is something that has formed itself within two different paths of evolution within birds and mammals independently over time. It was great to have science related work again!

This on a post about how bird flu can potentially transmit from your cat to yourself, just to make sure you know how unhinged it was for them to argue about longevity for outdoor cats in that post. I'm going to just start blocking people who make having an invasive species their whole personality.

A person stating their shortest lives cats were indoor.

Me replying that I had 8 outdoor cats die very young in childhood before the indoor cats lived to be over 17.

They reply that I should have taken "better care of your fucking outdoor cats like I did"

I point out I did my best to ask the coyotes not to eat them and cars not to hit them before I did precisely that by making the cats indoor only.
