A lot of people are struggling right now. Including your queer and trans fam, and your artists friends, and the people who are both. The mental health pressures are real and the consequences are potentially devastating. Check on your people. Let them know how much you love having them around.

You guys fantasize, a lot, about not having to pay for labor or be responsible for treating the labor source with dignity. So much of GenAI discourse is about a desire for ethical enslavement. And that does not exist.

Revisiting some older photos with new editing tools/skills. This is a photo of a rare aurora in #Vancouver / Burnaby circa 2015. Green aurora is created by the excitement of oxygen molecules in the atmosphere where purple/blue is nitrogeg #astrophotography #scicomm #space

Aurora glow mix of both purple and green in the skies over northern mountains seen from Vancouver on the roof of Burnaby Mountain - so I guess Burnaby rather than Vancouver

With the news that the US is openly weaponizing space, I’d like to reshare this essay I wrote for The Baffler: “Without the capacity and the will to live in good relations with our local ecosystems and each other, wherever we are, we will be on a suicide mission.” 🔭
