EVERYTHING IS FINE

I put all the Heritage Minutes in chronological order by event so you don't have to. πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ (I was looking for this and couldn't find it, so it became a weird hobby. It genuinely may be of interest only to me.) www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Meantime in Gaza, the horrors continue.

Here's the thing proponents of AI don't get- and it's trite, so I apologize.. but for Creatives, Scholars, Artists, etc. it IS about the journey just as much, or maybe more than the destination. It's the gosh darn friends we made along the way.

An apt summation of AI.. "devaluing process in service of increasing the quantity of product.." And now, the product isn't just fast fashion, or a fridge that breaks in 3yrs- it's art, it's ideas & 'knowledge', & the stuff it produces is just as flimsy as a Shein shirt, but it's easy & a lot so πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

Fanfiction is a labour of love. It is joy, it is expression, it's writing something completely batsh*t crazy and sometimes, dare I say, succeeding. It builds these small but mighty communities across the world. From Kiev, to NYC, to Malaysia, to even me in small town Canada- πŸ’ͺπŸ’œ #keepfightingAI

Whelp, in πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ most of our schools have no a/c, so I had to keep the kid home today- yay, extreme winter storms and heat days this year! Gooo climate change πŸŽ‰πŸ™Œ

me when?

My brother's loud adhd family just visited my quiet adhd family today. We had a great time, but now everyone in my fam has retreated to our own little quiet spaces to do our own special interests in solitude. No more people-ing for awhile. The cat is still mad we had outsiders here.

Put women in charge of everything. The patriarchy has had it’s run and you fucked everything up.

Evidence continues to pile up for the theory that people first came to the Americas by sea 17,000 or more years ago rather than only by land 13,000 years ago, although there are still gaps in the geological and genetic records:

I refuse to give the NYT my eyeballs, so I can't speak to the specifics of this article. But any historians attempting to use AI for either writing or research should be run out of the field. AI is inherently unable to do anything we need it to do to understand and communicate history.

In the Tent Helen McNicoll 1914

"i asked grok" "i asked chagpt" yeah well I asked a rare books librarian and they found things I didn’t even know I was looking for, while answering questions about provenance

I had extremely low expectations for Carney since the beginning, but he’s quickly managed to be worse than I could have imagined.

I yelled at Tara Reid and Christian Slater. They were shooting a movie at the museum I worked at; bored, they jumped into an exhibit and started playing with the artifacts. The way I YELLED, phew!

i think the thing people don't really understand is that it's not search which has gone to shit, not entirely. it's the internet.

Let me put a broader thought to you this way, since it’s National Indigenous History Month. When my kids learned about residential schools in class, they asked me how I felt when I learned about it at their age. And I had to tell them β€œI didn’t, but I’m so glad you have.”

The Log Driver's Waltz is nostalgia that you can hook directly into my veins. This is the story of the NFB short that aired on CBC to foster national unity.

The past (like the present) is complicated and messy and nuanced, and it has taken decades of work by public historians to break thru the cult of nostalgia and get sites to reframe their approach. And it's still ongoing!

Almost time for the roses to bloom, and the peonies from my grandmother's garden too.

Strawberry Picking Frederic Marlett Bell-Smith c. 1900

Gross. So disappointed with him. The bar was low, but jfc, iof just kidnapped humanitarians & are starving millions (not to mention the absolute horror show we've witnessed live-streamed over the last year+) Hey, PM @mark-carney.bsky.social did you ask how many kids Isreal's murdered?

My partner just returned home from a short business trip in the US (it had me stressssed, when he got stuck at cbp for ages), and thankfully, we don't have to go there in the foreseeable future. But yikes, man. Yikes. Y-I-K-E-S on bikes. Fix yourself neighbour, stay safe, but be brave, friends.

Moments before IOF interception, the Madleen crew-activists including Greta Thunberg and MEP Rima Hassan-were ordered to toss their phones into the sea. Wearing life vests and raising their hands, they were kidnapped by Israeli occupation forces near Gaza, whilst in International waters.

jesus fucking christ they kidnapped Greta Thunberg

"My name is Greta Thunberg and I am from Sweden. If you see this video, we have been intercepted and kidnapped in international waters by the Israeli occupational forces, or forces that support Israel."

Repost with five shows you would be happy to rewatch over & over again for the rest of your life, as your sole tv diet. Easy, bc that's basically what I do anyway, lol. -Time Team -Yuri on Ice -Pride & Prejudice (miniseries, it counts!) -Victorian Farm/WarTime Farm -Poirot
