Gorgeous #Roman glass cups decorated with colourful enamel-painted animals from the Roman arena, AD 200s. Found in richly-furnished ‘princely’ graves in Denmark, where they are known as ‘circus beakers’. National Museum of Denmark. 📷 by me #FindsFriday #Archaeology

Abortion as homicide—how very ‘pro-life.’ Nothing protects life quite like criminalizing healthcare and punishing women for making decisions about their bodies. If this were about life, they’d focus on healthcare, maternal support, and education. But it’s not—it’s about control.

Women? checks notes Women didn't exist in the Mesolithic, clearly this is a mpreg situation. /jk Seriously, can people just STOP using AI for image/text generation? C'mon, we have artists, we have writers, we have BRAINS (i know some don't use them, but they're there), no one wants to see AI! 🙄

When you see these displays in your public library, write a note to the branch manager and director thanking them for supporting queer rights. Speak up at board meetings. I guarantee that library is already getting complaints. Admin/the board will cave to whoever is loudest, even bigots.

Yesterday I finally deleted my Facebook account, my blog's IG and my blog's and Iseum's FB Pages. It felt GOOD. I still have my personal IG, for now, because I connect with a lot of people over there, but gods, it's so nice to have fewer social media accounts?? 😅💖

The Internet Archive has to date downloaded 500 terabytes of US government websites, which it crawls at the end of every presidential term. The whole archive is fully searchable. This effort's housed by a donation-funded nonprofit, not a branch of the US government. blog.archive.org/2024/05/08/e...

Reminder that sexual expression in the arts is absolutely normal and human across time and all cultures. Sex is how we all got here, and the arts are how we express our living experiences. There is nothing immoral about it, and it should never be criminalized.

Please folks, use ALT TEXT. I have a lot of words muted on here for the sake of my mental health. BlueSky scans alt text for those words too. So if you don’t use alt text, I sometimes see images (e.g. screenshots of text) that contain those words. Also, we like accessibility in this house!

Terracotta images of female worshippers (circa 600 BC). These were found on Cyprus and raise their left hand in a ritualistic pose. You can see some of the original paint used to decorate them. #ancientgreece

Any email you need an LLM to write—as distinct from (some) automated email reminders that are more like form letters—did not need to be sent. If it’s worth sending it’s worth your actual attention. I feel strongly about this.

I'm not American but this is 100% true and I feel like I need to share. This is setting a precedent. If happened to TikTok, it can happen to any app and any medium, they just need to come up with a reason. It's just censorship.

This puts it well & it’s a point I keep making about why using AI to write is so flattening. Writing is the process of working out & refining what you think. If I write an article, I’m not just generating 1000 plausible words. I’m trying to articulate ideas with precision, & challenging myself.
