Writing essays with AI is like lifting barbells with a forklift

The summer solstice is just a made-up holiday to sell more henges.

Sakineh, from Afghanistan, has lived in Greece for the past 5 years. A mother of several children—now grown and living across Europe – she has rebuilt her life in Athens with strength and hope, despite displacement, separation from her family, and discrimination. #WorldRefugeeDay

📢 "La farsa de solo permitir el suministro de medicamentos y combustible en el último minuto, ante la inminencia de un desastre, no es más que una tirita en una herida sangrante. La militarización de la ayuda debe terminar". #Gaza 👇 https://www.msf.es/noticia/gaza-se-asfixia

I want to do a thesis on how the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam is just "101 Reasons why I should be allowed to drink wine by Omar Khayyam". #poetry

So, for some reason, when I take an edible, my blood sugar drops. Like to DANGEROUSLY low levels. Current working theory is THC reminds my body what that funny little chemical 'insulin' is supposed to do. At least it lets me eat an entire box of (albeit Gluten Free) cookies when the munchies hit.

Timeline cleanse: Sound on 🔊 TIL that porcupines are real life cartoon characters. Just listen to this little guy eat corn and tell his story. Adorable.

Last 2 days to get 20% off everything! (If I can sell 1 more big pendant tonight that's everything immediate taken care of, though I'll still be pushing hard, the more that's out the door, the better July will go. And July is my birthday!)

Listening to a Cadfael novel and finally binding off this blanket. #knitting

Updated the old OACET motivational wallpaper for these very interesting times. The high-res is available for downloadable printing at my Patreon, and this low-res version is free for all public use. www.patreon.com/c/KBSpangler

And the ONLY thing of value the sperm donor taught me, was how to drive Quebecois style, especially as regards to winter driving.

I'm damned and determined to finish this blanket, and then will NEVER knit something this big in the round AGAIN. EVER.

Oh wow, our first Cider (and Blug) fanart? Gorgeous work, you captured their movement so well - thank you! ❤️ @magitekdad.bsky.social @dotemu.bsky.social @supamonksstudio.bsky.social

Reading "Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyám". This edition is very pretty.

Happy Pride month, all! Way back in 2018 I made these galaxy pride flags. They were shared many thousands of times, featured on Vice, and even made their way onto book covers and into video games. Here are the original ones I created (in no particular order!) so Bluesky can have them too. 💙

Renaming ships at all is guaranteed bad luck. What a way to torpedo morale among the most superstitious branch of the service.

Cartoon: Marsha P. Johnson - one of the heroes of Gay Rights Activism and the Stonewall Riots, punching Hitler ala Captain America comics #1 . As tempting as it was to 'update' Hitler for modern targets I decided to go with the classic. Offered up with respect this Pride Month.

Is Tennessee even real?

🟥 Gaza se ha convertido en una fosa común para la población palestina y para quienes acuden en su ayuda. Los equipos de Médicos Sin Fronteras España nos movilizamos para pedir: ⚠️ El alto el fuego

Happy Pride to @davidgaider.bsky.social , who wrote the lines that opened my trans egg with the precision of a eierschalensollbruchstellenverursacher. Some day I will get "You have to fight for whats in your heart" some how tattooed on my body as it is on my soul.

@marykirby.bsky.social , @karinww.bsky.social , @trickweekes.bsky.social @eplerjc.bsky.social , and all the others I'm missing. This Pride month, I'm particularly thankful for Veilguard, and all the personal details I see shine through. Thank you.

Can I interest you in a little magic? The dyed quartz fidget pendants are all stocked up, and I've got lots of labradorite to go around. oishiny.etsy.com #Handmade #ShopIndie #Etsy

At the garage and Foreigner is playing over the speaker. Help. Me.

Trying to find grace with humanity after a health scare made me realize I need not so much toxic positivity as spiteful faith.

WISHBONE

Xrays done on Friday show I've been miraculously cured of degenerative arthritis! Or that a radiologist didn't check my records for prior comparatives. And I'll have to get my doctor to make that complaint for me unless I want to go through a formal complaint process.

I was at a shitty crustpunk bar once getting an after-work beer. One of those shitholes where the bartenders clearly hate you. So the bartender and I were ignoring one another when someone sits next to me and he immediately says, "no. get out."
