No AI regulation by the state for 10 years in the budget bill. Palantir being tapped to compile all US data into a single database complete with security footage & facial recognition. Trump is consolidating power. SS to begin deportations. We must fight. #fiftyfiftyone #protest #ai #palantir

We found this out thrifting- and I grabbed it bc it's beautiful & was $15. Uh Even if this is a print it looks like it's worth actual money. David Shepherd was a big British painter & conservationist. Anyone know an art appraiser around Raleigh?

Buttercup will not be governed into using the tiny swimming pool as a toy as it was intended. It's apparently a giant water bowl & I'm dumb for thinking otherwise. πŸ˜… Germ thinks he's a raccoon & likes to drown his pom poms & I thought, incorrectly, this would keep toys out of the normal water.

mazel tov! great news β€” and a great series. well done!!

Kiddo graduated with honors from high school tonight. I'm proud my kid came out whole & capable. Kiddo saw this happen. This year a different student was picked up for murder on campus w a gun too. IDK how to make things better but I'm not quitting bc my kid's out. abc11.com/post/southea...

Being faceblind & having a shit memory actually helps sometimes. I will never deadname or misgender you bc my brain doesn't have the before times in it. My cis straight friend changed her first name when she got married & gave me a thank you letter. I can't remember her old name. πŸ™ƒ

This week's Post Secret hits me in the feels. I didn't make a conscious choice to quit drinking, just kind of fell off. But it's just so expensive in every way.

The left needs a Joe Rogan who is 300 feet tall and plays a tiny little fiddle. And when he gets angry he huffs and puffs but he's calmed down by a good friend who is a regular-sized elephant but looks teeny by comparison. Just absolutely itsy bitsy. And both of them are extremely anti-circumcision.

Israeli forces by opened fire towards an EU delegation on an approved visit to #Jenin in the #WestBank earlier today. The IDF said they were approaching an area they weren’t allowed to be, so β€œwarning shots” were fired AT EUROPEAN DIPLOMATS.

Dropped kiddo off for the last day ever of WCPSS. Elementary school teacher thought Kiddo had ADHD & pressed me to use her chiropractor for treatment. πŸ™ƒ Kiddo never did any work during COVID & passed anyway. πŸ™ƒ Murder at the HS 2 years ago. πŸ™ƒ Gun on a kid picked up for murder this year. πŸ™ƒ Survived.

SINNERS WAS SO GOOD!!! If you fuck with horror, historical black fiction, or the blues I seriously cannot recommend it enough. Definitely worth seeing on the big screen for the music alone.

Watching my kid do Bumble dating is hilarious. Last week I had to search a match bc he was being sus & found his situationship. Kiddo hey girlie'd her & now they are fast friends & going to queer prom together? πŸ˜… Fuckin Scorpios.

ADHD question the internet cannot answer: If your inner labia shrink during menopause, what happens to the women who did labiaplasties?

Man I'm listening to the new Dennis Lehane audiobook & I knew it was going to be rough but.... This is the most I've heard the hard r said out loud in my life. IDK if I'm gonna finish this. I've read the word plenty of times but hearing it is proving to be different.

I want to draw but my head is fucking killing me & we are supposed to walk around Artsplosure all day. 😭

Caramel brioche bread is a thing & it's great as toast. But if you make it buttered toast & then spread a thin layer of brown sugar on top & broil in the air fryer for 2 minutes it's a whole crunchy donut experience. 😍😍😍

Just got my feelings hurt in the millennials. 😭

Not my 7pm appointment bailing rn πŸ™ƒ

Germ is done waiting for me to find the toy I cleaned away and wants me to buy a replacement.

The shitty thing about spending all day vomiting from pain is knowing if I go to the hospital at best they're going to rehydrate with IV and Zofran me to sleep. Maybe a TV ultrasound to confirm that yes, there is still a giant cyst on my left ovary. And then they will send me home, much poorer.

America 2025 is my marriage 4 months before he moved out. Constant panic & things getting worse daily. The therapist told me to leave, it's abusive & quit on us & I didn't even know they could do that. Hardly any money all the sudden, no idea where it was going. This is that again.

I feel like the reason the GOP keeps trying to ban porn is because the porn they like is already banned.

Watching MSNBC RN and Kenyatta is just...openly bitching about Hogg. This is all so fucking petty. I hope Hogg sees the party for what it is, decides he can do more good without their gag, & gets really loud & honest about why they aren't fighting. This is all to distract from the Biden book btw.

If I die before menopause and only got a sum total of 11 years without this bullshit I'm fighting God.

Over the past 3 months or so there's been this huge influx of elderly people selling their hobby equipment on Marketplace. I feel for them, sucks to have to look for ways to make up budget shortfalls in this economy. But asking almost retail value? Like trying to sell 20 rubber stamps for $250?

I've noticed a big digital divide in generations about who can detect AI. My gen Z kid spots AI every time right off the bat. I'm an elder millennial & I know to look for it but sometimes it takes a second glance or detail check. The older tattoo artists in my groups are baffled & cannot see AI.

Is there like a stretching/yoga Boot camp app or video series for oldish fattish tattoo artists? My back and shoulders are in a bad place and I'm losing weight but I need a good stretching program. I am always gonna be hunching over for work & the stretches I do aren't cutting it.

Saw a thing saying you can make a cake with just box mix + soda so kiddo and I did pineapple Fanta with pineapple box mix & made it as an upside down cake. It's really great. Texture is closer to a lemon bar than a fluffy cake but the flavor is so good.

My friend with a truck came to help me grab a recliner from another friend. He apparently does not drive around short folx like myself ever. The truck floor was at my waist. And there was no step. πŸ˜… Not my ass having to jump out every damn time.πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Found more stickers while packing. I just need one that says "leave me alone" and it'll be as straightforward as possible.

The U.S. Postal Service's governing board has named David Steiner, a board member of USPS competitor FedEx, to be the next postmaster general following the controversial term of Louis DeJoy.

I did a deep clean a few days ago. I put all the cat toys in the toy box. Still fully accessible. Germ is upset bc he can't find the one he wants & has spent every morning since I cleaned giving me this look until I go through the toy box & we don't find it again. Cats are toddlers.

World Central Kitchen putting out a global plea to make Israel let food trucks through. They are out of food. Gaza is starving. wck.org/news/gaza-up...

So I saw a tweet from a rando store in TX saying they were out of #FancyFeast & I have πŸˆβ€β¬› picky eater so I placed a #walmart order for extra. When asked why it's #delayed, they don't give ETA on when it will be in & just give a credit. #shortages?

A 98 year old World War 2 veteran, returned to his tank to destroy one last Nazi car. He has a message for Elon Musk, Tesla, Putin, Trump and the international regressive movement. We crushed fascism before, and we'll crush it again, so let's go shall we? #3E #teslatakedown

Customer & bf just had a fight about lack of sex so bad I had to Mom Voice them. πŸ™ƒ We have all forgotten how to behave.

For every doll you deny me I will push another jet off an aircraft carrier

Germ says good morning!

How do we stop this madness? The Dems are fucking useless for the most part & party leaders being up who to run in 28 more than actual solutions to make sure we are all alive & able to vote in 28. I organize. But I can't out organize this. When we will have had enough? How many more must die?

Boy howdy men do not like it when you point out the prefrontal cortex in the brain isn't done cooking before 25, so dating young is scientifically unethical.

ACAB cos why is it only his parents speaking out? Judge dismissed 200 of their cases! www.wral.com/news/local/b...

Did two little banger tattoos, forgot my watch at work (again) went by Dorcas and found a square ton of frames & art + a shark floor steamer for $10. I've always wanted to do the over-painting on top of a thrifted painting thing and I finally found a good one for it.
