This Is Just To Say
I have turned off
the AI features
that were in
the update
and which
you were probably
hoping
to monetize
Fuck you
they were stupid
so unnecessary
and so annoying
who cares?
Discovery is going to be fun

Leonardo da Vinci watches a cat. And draws it (and its friends) over and over. Today is his day.

The biggest street party you ever saw

dreadful. so sick of coach in particular
New Story Day: "Welcome To Heroism" is out in @uncannymagazine.bsky.social!
A mysterious app is daring people to increasingly impossible things for a chance at fame. The feats seem so ridiculous that nobody notices they might have some altruistic sides. Could the app have an agenda...?
Ugh. what a waste of soace
To my friends from LiveJournal I still think about you Wonder if you finally quit, Do you still speak to your mom? I remember when you went to Japan How you swore you'd never forgive him. I can't remember to take my meds but I remember you wanted to live on a houseboat. It's a strange intimacy, all of us unspooling across decades of internet space Like balls of yarn leaving a trail behind us of everywhere and everyone we've ever been I hope you got your houseboat. I hope you got everything. -Hayley DeRoche

Oh my gd, the Artemis II crew doing a parody of a bad 1980s sitcom intro from in space.

Poem and drawing. The poem is titled "Damage." The first verse is on left side of the page, and the text reads: "We live in such a disposable time, throwing away and buying new, in and out, as easily as breathing. Standing in the center of ourselves, we move along from damaged things before they can become uncomfortable. Before they make us think. Make us work." At this point the text of the poem shifts more into the middle of the page to accommodate the drawing. The remainder of the poem reads: "We live as if the loss is all we have, and injuries can never be redeemed. But damaged isn’t broken, and the whispers of the wrecking world are often easy lies, for we are neither perfect-made nor sinful born, and sometimes worth is buried dark-earth deep. It need not be our nature to destroy what feels undone, or put too much belief in all the permanence of hurt when we can be the tinkers of our souls, and mend ourselves anew instead of falling to the scrapheap of despair. We do not need to be disposable; it is only damage. – John Wyatt Greenlee" The drawing is in black and white, and made of abstract shapes and lines. It looks very much like a human figure with long hair, standing and facing away from the reader, but angled to the right. The figure seems likely to be naked, and seems like maybe it has its arms crossed in front of it's chest. It also has weirdly small calves, and seems to be standing on its toes. Which is something you might do a lot of if you had short calves but still wanted to see over things. Generally, the figure gives of a wistful vibe.
I'm a happy little agnostic, so today is generally about opening up a package of peeps so it can get stale, or creating ridiculous scavenger hunts for the kids in the yard, rather than anything spiritual.
That said, it's not a bad day for this poem / drawing of mine.
this was one of the most important stories of the day, at least according to my sister - whose experience as a teacher tells her what will be top of mind for kids of all ages

This is what social media is meant to be about.
I did NOT know how much I needed to see something like the Artemis launch until I saw it.
I am watching the Artemis II countdown to launch. It is wild to me how matter-of-fact we are about launches these days.
Anyway, the hatches are closed.
The Thessaly trilogy made me a Jo Walton fan, but this is the book that made me a devotee. Buy it. Read it. Love it.
I’m guessing you’re hearing a resounding and gleeful no.
I’d be the lady who’s tearing her hair in excitement
Minnesota, for example, has had trans anti-discrimination protections for 30 years without the dreaded "men in the ladies room" problem.
The degree to which this fear has surged into the public consciousness demonstrates it is a moral panic.
why are you doubling down on this? it’s a very bad look, emphasizing once agaa baked-in anti-trans agenda that you apparently can’t see
It's been a month, right?
These are some themes that resonated with me in Project Hail Mary:
Duty
Fellowship
Critical Thought
Trial & error
Problem solving
That there are things larger than you
Sacrifice
I thought it was a very political film because these are all concepts that are under attack.
Wait, i thought republicans were insisting this wasn’t a war. and its absolute hubris to be sure things will turn out well at this stage, when absolutely nothing useful has been accomplished
i’m not jewish but i see it all around. it breaks my heart
Read books! Buy them from your indie bookshop! Support your public library! Divest from Amazon! Attend a local bookish event! Fight book bans! Talk about your favorite books! Help young readers access books! Think critically! Thank a bookseller and librarian!

Boo. That last pitch was not even close
this is one of my favorite episodes, and if you haven’t rewatched it in awhile you should watch it again. Spock going to the mat for Kirk because he trusts the human being he’s known for years over the computer everyone claims is infallible hits hard in our AI hellscape
Thread. so much cuteness
