The debate about AI consciousness and being kind to it feels futile when humans can be cruel to fellow humans without a shred of guilt or reflection. Othering those who are different, those whose existence we deem inconsequential, is the norm. We never really learned to be kind to one another.

2. Feather #WoTtober
A notebook open on 2 pages covered in stickers 
In the bottom half there are 3 sets of buildings of an orangey white color, with the one in the center showing the upper gap of a street between two rows of buildings with several rows of windows
There are 2 horizontal stripes of washi tape borders with hills designs, blue gray for top and green white for bottom 
The following stickers are black and white:
Bottom left half of a face with long hair and a mask. There are small real feathers stuck to the page as if they're part of the mask, middle bottom a black silhouette of a woman holding a bow, with a plumed mask on her head, this one a sticker. On the top right a mask with the borders made of colorful 3d sticky bling and 3 feathers stuck to the middle of it where it would sit on the forehead. On the top left corner there's Beslan having an out of body experience I mean it's the same sticker twice, the larger one cut around the feathers. It's an image of a man with a humongous black feathers mask but he too, has 3 little real feathers stuck to his forehead. All the attached feathers are gray.
On some white space at the top, calligraphic handwriting of Wottober and Feather

#DungeonCrawlerCarl SPOILERS . . . What a wild ride The Iron Tangle was. With so much action packed into 500 pages, I honestly wouldn’t mind if the first few chapters of the next book were just Carl and Donut having dinner, watching a show, getting some sleep, going to a club, and taking a break.

Whenever a show or movie bombs after supposedly "woke" casting choices, the narrative is always "go woke, go broke." When a movie succeeds with the same casting choices, they instantly switch to: "It's doing well despite those choices." #Odyssey

“What looks like “desensitisation” is often not indifference -- but psychological self protection. Human beings are nto designed to process a constant stream of distressing, global-scale information. With 24/7 news cycles and social media exposure, we are repetedly witnessing suffering that we cannot directly control or resolve.
