"But my nostalgia! But my favorite morning word game! But this mid video game! But my sport! But my chicken sandwich!" Hey, real quick, what ARE you willing to give up to not support our oppressors?

One tree had a bunch of these enormous Pseudosphinx tetrio caterpillars on it. They are super large!

Hey crafty hive mind, help pls! 🙏 Does anyone here know of anyone or have any resources on using okra mucus in paper-making? Specifically using it as a formation aid and/or in sizing/coating? Thanks friends 💖

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

I'm just struggling to imagine what a non-misinformation use case would even be. Like, it's Google Earth, you don't use it for book illustrations or profile pics or PowerPoint presentations or any of the other reasons people claim "but I NEED this LLM!"

Had the luxury of a nice few hours at this today. If it looks like slow going, it is! & That's why I use watercolour so often under pencils to speed things up. But I'm loving being able to do all these layers in pencil, a real joy. 😌 Also started a bit of the subtractive shading on the faded leaves

Red-shouldered pine borer (Stictoleptura canadensis), Montana. The larvae of these attractive beetles eat dead or decaying wood; adults feed in flowers. I like the fancy antennae, and that the pitted texture of the elytra make the red "shoulders" look like the surface of a strawberry. 🐙🌿📷 #BugSky

well... we looked we're like at like 40% of "break even on bills" for the month oh god.

One of the first cool guys we found was this jumping spider, which looked very much like a pseudoscorpion. I found him crawling on my leg while we were eating lunch under a mango tree.

keep thinking about the evil of this. It's not just destroying the physical books, bad as that is. They are trying to remove the underpinnings of knowledge, destroy all the accumulated wisdom - and silliness, and creativity, and whatever else humans have thought worthy of writing down.

Salut ça fait une éternité, y a plein de choses dont j'aimerai parler mais ce n'est pas la raison de ma sortie du silence aujourd'hui Je vous passe les détails mais mon village a été évacué à cause des incendies il y a une semaine dans un contexte de violences intrafamiliales Bref merci d'avance

An underreported part of UK Transphobe Lawfare™ is that when they lose, they just... say they won. For all the regrettable sway they do have in courts/govt etc, their real power is in the press. So if they lose, they just pretend they didn't and their press friends print the lie. It's ubiquitous.

Over 25,000 people are into the website enough to get sent some newsletters and read 6 blogs every month. Converting just 1000-2000 of them into regular paying subs transforms the business! If that's you, try it out this month for just $1! aftermath.site/aftermath-su...

Bloody hell, have Labour started talking to disabled people?? Burnham says any move to allow assisted dying should not happen until the government funds better social and palliative care.

It’s a relief to see Burnham - with help from Ed Davey and the Lib Dems - mentioning social care fees paid by disabled people. Politicians and media focus on the elderly with assets but any review must also address the poverty-inducing fees forced on working age disabled people by local councils.

If you're taking pictures of other people in public bathrooms, you're a predator. And heaven cannot help you if you take a picture of my daughter in the bathroom, I promise you that.
