Emily Bender, who is a leading force behind this “do not anthropomorphize” drive, has helpfully provided us with a list of examples of word changes she’d recommend. Tell me: are the recommended words clearer? More accurate? Do they genuinely provide greater clarity?

So, I took the PE in HVACR exam last week on Monday. Found out this morning that I actually managed to pass it. Doesn't seem real.

I've always kept a first aid kit in the truck, much to the surprise of the many people that I have patched up. But @deviantollam.bsky.social's ankle kit is getting added to my travel gear. Would have been helpful last year when we caught a lady rolling down an escalator. youtu.be/x2s9vz5puvA?...

25 years ago, terrorists killed nearly 3,000 people, including 2,753 New Yorkers. As we remember that terrible day, let us also remember the first responders, office workers and strangers who ran toward danger to help each other.

Shit, this one hits close to home nowadays. I've been requested to start a friends only server, but the hoops required for getting the Switch out of it's bubble are not appetizing to me, nor is having to teach other parents how to do the same thing.

Parking is limited with peak visitation in the summer between 10 AM and 3 PM with both the visitor center and lower dirt parking lots filling completely. The visitor center flagpole is in the middle of the image.
