Thinking about this a bit more, the FYP was giving me a lot of āmy knitting/crochet hot takesā posts so maybe what was really going on was that TikTok just understood that I enjoy drama of which I am in no way emotionally attached or affected by lmao.

I think itās so funny that I am a whole metalsmith (ie a quite minute/detailed/multi-stepped process-oriented craft created by hand using hand tools) & yet watching either knitting or crochet my mind just *does not compute* AT ALL. I do not get it!! But I would like for it to make sense hahaha

Will be on å°ēŗ¢ä¹¦ tho. *OR* I might actually teach myself to knit?? Or crochet? My FYP was damn intent on getting me to try my hand at various fiber arts there in the end days & it did always know best š§¶š

Me: Can my kids have evidence based peer reviewed healthcare administered by a doctor who agrees that this treatment is appropriate?
The law: NO GROSS
The worst guy you ever met in your life: IDC IF MY ARM IS BROKEN GIVE ME HORSE PASTE OR I'LL SHOOT YOU
The law: Of course sir that is your right

Me: Can a doctor please check my kid's bloodwork?
The law: THATS ILLEGAL THERES HORMONES IN THERE
The worst people you ever met in your life: We're not taking our sick child to the doctor because our whole church is laying hands on them and screaming prayers to get the devil out
The law: Oh nice

Ooooooh. Might go peak at those. Iāve been experiencing the trickle as I see things pulled down but posted here anyway (the cultural reaction, diff sides of the info landscape). Super fascinating

Iām so glad I happened to see your comment so I could finally hear the whole song! (The OG ripped tiktok has been spooling in my mind all week, but it was only the first verse)
Art. This is ART.
Curious about a reference/use of language in the song as well so imma see abt that, too š¤

Oh no, itās so appreciated! I learn a lot in the ALT (& am always delighted to laugh at quirky or fun details) & even as a sighted person good ALT improves how I see! I love info so itās like MORE INFO! = better understanding. Having blind & low-sighted friends means I donāt re-post w/o it either. š«¶š¼

This thread brought me joy with a side dose of wonder. The colors & shapes & thoughtful ALT! šš„°

Ugh look at it it's so pretty. I'm so lucky to get to sit in the wet and the cold and admire these perfect tiny bubblegum angels.

As a little kid I *loved* ochre stars. They were my favorite tide pool finds, in their vivid purples and oranges. Later I forgot to cherish them, until sea star wasting disease wiped the coast clean in 2014. Now I never fail to tell each one that I love them and they're doing a great job.

We all know I'm often out there because I'm obsessed with the nudis but I'm an all-around tidepool critter stan too. I was thrilled to see so many thriving sea stars. Bat star feeties, a super tiny ochre star, and an even tinier unidentified baby star!

One country is not like the others.
Check out this scatterplot of health spending per capita & life expectancy (lines = averages).
The United States sits alone in the bottom right area due to its very high spending rate & below-average life expectancy.

Laughing a lot lately as a means of dissociation, so that I am not crying in despairā¦& into despondency

But you seem to know whatās up.
FWIW, I havenāt been here long enough to know *any* ins & outs irt pretty much anything in OK, but itās all clownery here from what I can gather. Decades of it? & Stitt is a Top Ten clown for sure. Also, COMBATING POLLUTION IS WOKE

Would genuinely love actual improvement but that does seem unlikely w this admin & w/ Stitt.
Will that help anyoneās bottom line? I really donāt think theyāre in the āmake things betterā business. At all. Unless itās *their* business. So if itās put forth & framed as to their benefitā¦maybe?

Hahaha group project. Should find a dev who can write a script & put it on auto. Damn I hate LLMs but that seems an appropriate use of ai slop
They will never come up with anything useful when they REFUSE TO FEED CHILDREN HERE so I donāt even know what to say

Hmm. Thereās a mentions Feed that Iāve heard a lot of the bigger accts default to using so that they can see only their replies (bc of the mixed notifications theyāre easy to miss) Have seen the devs chat about this & that they have a mentions tab in the works but until then thatās the stopgap
