#makehaven really is a great place. I never would have thought I could quilt without this space and its equipment and the joy and encouragement of everyone who saw me piecing out the squares today! And yes, they’re all flags

Calling yourself a king doesn't make you a king. Interpreting the prophecy of three witches you met in the woods and committing regicide with the assistance of your wife, then smearing the sleeping grooms with blood so it will seem their guilt makes you a king.

A2: the Gang of Youths album “Go Farther in Lightness” was the soundtrack for almost every 2 hour commute I had while writing the first draft of my novel — pushed me to write more honestly and with hope, only once it’s thoroughly earned.

People who know: do I want to watch Canadian Bacon and think about its prescience or would its satire hit in ALL the wrong ways today?

Knitting has been an act of resistance against oppression for centuries. Thanks @aoc.bsky.social for reminding folks of what a powerful symbol of liberation women's handwork is in this dark time.

this is a good example of the attitude that has led democrats down the road to disaster. it rests on the belief that public opinion cannot be shaped or mobilized or moved, only reacted to

“Use your toes to hold your weight, not your whole foot.” Perseus had spent half an hour on these mountain climbing tips, which was how I knew he was scared for us. Which is absurd, considering he is currently fighting a dragon. Or listening to Sthenno’s union pitch, which is just as treacherous."

Two uses in my novel! “Like its queen, the palace of Nemea is humble. Yes, the stones are grandly carved and tapestries masterpieces, but the private courtyard has been turned into a makeshift hospital. The traditional retreat of the local noblewomen overflows with the sick and the starving.”

I feel like I have this conversation all the time. “What do you want from us?” For you to be impolite. For you to be difficult and awkward. For you to lose something for the cause. For my life to be worth your inconvenience. For decorum not to be worth more than my well-being.(Current reps doing ok)

So I feel like Elon thinks he’s Sean (from The Good Place); funny, powerful, rule by terror but able to accomplish goals. But this whole DOGE stuff really just makes him Neil. Obsessed with getting the corner piece of cake, presiding over miserable employees who would rather die. Accountant.

Hello all! My work email is through Microsoft Outlook, and I really truly hate the interface (I can elaborate if desired). Is it possible in general to use a different email program for work if Outlook is the default? Advice welcome. Please boost/hashtag if you are so inclined. Thanks in advance!

America, you broke through—the media, from small outlets to large, is finally picking up on what’s happening. Legislators, judges, and attorneys general across the country are speaking out. They hear you. We love you and are honored to serve you! 🦬💚🇺🇸

my god PLEASE do not sign up online for an organized general strike via a slick looking website claiming hundreds of thousands have already registered. even if it's not a honeypot, it's still going to be a honeypot.

Your regular reminder Delft’s market square was a surface parking lot as recently as 2004. A razor-thin coalition (19-18 votes) initiated a six-month pilot to help merchants realize cars don’t spend money, people do. Years later, no one remembers the controversy or regrets the decision. Sound on

I need more Democrats at the national level to develop the "go fuck yourself" tenacity of the Virginia General Assembly Democrats.

Given all these critical webpages are being taken down, this might be a good time to familiarize yourself with the Wayback Machine on Internet Archive. It can pull up pages that are no longer active: web.archive.org

OpenAI says it has proof that Deepseek used its work without permission to create something meant to undermine and destroy its product. On behalf of all the authors whose novels and stories were taken as training data, oh no that must be so hard for you.

Everything we said about AI being theft, bad for the environment, and it training you to stop using your own brain is still true even if the AI company isn't from the US. Quit it.

I understand that ChatGPT is down and fortunately this is not a problem for me as I have spent considerable time developing a local language model that I am able to run autonomously, fueled by cold brew and cabernet sauvignon.

My MFA program in Writing for Children made me a whole-hearted believer in Story Genius by Lisa Caron, but this is the first time I’ve started from almost scratch with the method and I keep hitting weird moments like “wait did I not decide which season this book is set in?” So late in the process!

It feels like swatting away gnats, trying to get rid of all the ~helpful~ little AI prompts that Adobe, Microsoft, Google Drive, Canva, and every other gd program I use have set to buzzing around my head. I need citronella in the form of a “go away forever” button.

Okay, people who know about computers, is there any chance that turning off "connected experiences" is enough to keep #Copilot disabled on #MicrosoftWord? I'm guessing not but there just really isn't a button for burn it with fire?

My introduction to #booksky I guess? 📚 Reading is political 🎧 Audiobooks count as reading 📖 Reading is not a competition 🤔 Reading critically & reading for fun are not mutually exclusive 👉 If you support problematic authors, you deserve to be called out on it 🚫 Toxic positivity can eff off
