On vacation in Florida and so far my favorite part has been the wildlife. Here's some photos I took of local birds. I've also seen some dolphins and gaters. Hopefully, I will get to meet some manatees soon ☺️

This is what they mean when they say "Put him in the contraption"

Hearing online/IRL talk about replacing teachers w/ AI Overheard a guy say "Teaching is easy", to hold teachers in such low esteem says a lot about their own intelligence I'll just say this, if teaching was just reciting info to kids all teachers would have been replaced w/ tape recorders long ago

As a palate cleanser from the news, what games are y'all playing and would recommend? I've been enjoying Project Zomboid 🧟 If you've ever discussed with friends your foolproof zombie apocalypse plan, put it to the test in this very unforgiving sim

Going high when they go low only works if their low isn't genocidal. To hell with respectability politics, it's time to be as annoying and infuriating to the opposition as possible.

Pick a selfie. Turn it black and white.

Please hire me to be your town sorcerer. I can carefully place moss on rolling stones. I can tell townspeople what time it isn't. I can glue googly eyes to the tiniest of pinecones. I can try to convince squirrels to levitate.

Do you hate the proliferation of subscription paywalls, middlemen, and the decline of once useful search engines? I'm experimenting with adding a blog page to my website. If you are kind enough to read my first post, feel free to let me know your thoughts 😊 bethanyloy.com/experience-t...
