My Microsoft 365 subscription has expired My choice This is the first time without Microsoft Word on a work computer And it’s because of the Nanny AI they crammed into every aspect, then made it functionally impossible to disable it all Clippy’s more pervasive & obnoxious descendent

This ⬇️ It’s neither error nor accident. All these choices are aimed at dismantling the US: science; medicine; culture; education system; economy; symbols This is what Russia strives to do to Ukraine, and the only difference is we have been maneuvered into attacking ourselves

I was just in a chat with Patreon folks telling them how @wolven.blacksky.app has been on top of the GenAI / ChatGPT issue from the start. Highly recommend listening to everything shared here:

In a serious world, this would at the very least get people to mask in public spaces In the US as it has become? No one will do anything and then later folks will complain about how many people are missing school and/or work #measles #outbreak

Just left an event where I was making friends with a table of women. Every single woman at the table started talking about how they ask ChatGPT EVERYTHING. What to wear, what to do out of town, they had nicknames for it. Gave it she/her pronouns. I almost gagged yall omg

Hoping this doesn’t open floodgates of spam Do any of my mutuals have experience with the latest iPad Pro? My old one (from 2020 I think?) is starting to get funky. I use it mainly to stream (Streamyard, Zoom) & for making art things I’m skeptical about all the AI crammed into it

Today’s cat is mother and son, never far from one another #CatBreak #BlueskyCats #CatSky #Caturday

Two black cats sit on top of wooden bookcases in a room decorated with framed art. Both cats look curiously up toward the person taking the photo. Each cat sits on top of their own shelf.

Hospital staff masking among vulnerable patients should not even be an issue

I read on the Internet (so, of course, it’s true!) that Chihuahuas have coyote in their ancestry And whether this is fact or not, it explains so much, I shall choose to believe it

30 years of trying to convince people on the margins of belief, gender & orientation we need to pull together & support one another because our society wants us to disappear Thirty years of watching folks get radicalized by American Exceptionalism against their own interests So tired #WitchSky

Current project, which I am aiming to launch on October 1: a Haunted Free Library (registered through @littlefreelibrary.bsky.social ) Waiting on the aluminum sign I had printed up (with @salvaterra.bsky.social art) #BookSky

Photograph of a rewilded and very green front yard in suburbia. A little free library shaped like a black coffin with a red interior is mounted on a wooden post next to a large rock. A progress pride flag hangs above a decorative tombstone in the background.

A sign in bold red and white lettering against a black background. It reads: Haunted Free Library. Take a book, leave a book. Horror genre only. Share the scares!

The word “Haunted” appears in large, bold red lettering with a blood drip effect. A blood red bat angles above it. In the bottom right corner is a hand drawn illustration of a human skull perched atop creepy tomes.

25 years ago today, George W. Bush signed the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force into law. Barbara Lee was the only member of Congress to vote against it, warning it would be a blank check for forever wars. History has proven her lonely and courageous vote right.

OK. I have seen entirely too many complaints about this new season of Strange New Worlds when it is perhaps the most perfect homage to the original series I’ve ever seen Episodes are all over the place? In TOS we saw space gangsters, a salt vampire, aliens stole Spock’s brain …

NEW: A Vatican theological commission has defined the destruction of nature as a sin against God in a text approved by Pope Leo XIV. It comes the same month MAGA commentators lambasted the U.S.-born pontiff for asking Catholics to pray for the 2.1 billion people without safe drinking water

Vatican Commission Defines Environmental Destruction as “Sin Against Creation”

Pope Leo XIV approved the 29,000-word document in July. Its release came 24 hours after MAGA commentators mocked Pope Leo XIV for praying that 2.1 billion people get safe water.

This guy who assaulted a sitting member of Congress got 28 years and 10 months less jail time than a Texas resident who transported a box of zines that contained constitutionally protected content opposing ICE reason.com/2026/06/25/t...

Texas man gets 30 years in prison for transporting 'anti-government' pamphlets

The case stems from a violent anti-ICE protest, but critics say the government's prosecution threatens First Amendment rights.

One can only assume their goal is to collapse our healthcare system & endanger as many people in the US as possible under the guise of “skepticism” Murderous “just asking questions” guys

Dug out some of my old CDs and have been listening to Faith and the Muse (among others) Forgot how much of their early stuff is basically Goths! At the RenFaire! Not in a bad way, mind you
