Library workers–have you already experienced pushback, censorship, or attacks on your plans for Pride 2025? I'm again collecting those stories for an article in mid-July. I'll share this link throughout June as well. Details in the form, w/ previous stories. tinyurl.com/pride-in-libraries-25

If they invented a gif which kills you when you watch it, half of Bluesky would reshare the post immediately like “oh no, so this is BAD you guys”

I have been Seen

Oooooooof

Stepped rice paddies in China ✨

Does the Finch app know something I don't?

What in the incel is this

9/10. The Northern Lights tripped me up as the "real" one is also pretty heavily edited. The thing is, what I look for in these images is not what is then circled in the article. There is a "feel" that AI images have that is difficult to put into words. britannicaeducation.com/blog/quiz-re...
