Feeling like I'm getting too big for my britches just because I put my hair in a high ponytail

Update: it seems they have thawed her and she is on the case

Whoops forgot to add the handshake 📚💙

Someone should write a book about woman cult leaders. So many cults are highly patriarchal, so it's always interesting to see a woman at the top. I wonder if there are any interesting common themes to such groups/leaders. There are a decent number of them, def enough to do some comparisons. #booksky

It just occurred to me that while I actually *do* use both "girl" and "dude" as gender-neutral forms of address, I use them somewhat differently

Currently reading Stapledon's *Last and First Men*, and while yes it has some issues, I can't help but be impressed by the originality of the Martian alien life. More out there and inventive than even many with the benefit of 90 years since of material can do. 📚🪐

I wish I could go to the groomers and just get deshedded twice a year. So tired of all this hair everywhere.

Anyone try to include 'uncanny valley' explicitly into #AI #image generator prompts? What happened? What do these things think are uncanny?

They need to pull Azealia Banks out of cryosleep and inject her with social media super soldier serum. Her time is now.

@courtneyboen.bsky.social FWIW, I took it upon myself to download the entire CDC.gov & CMS.gov websites last week...at least the publicly-accessible portions of them. Around 100 GB of files combined.

Some speculative fiction writer w/academia background (maybe @adapalmer.bsky.social or @philipchase90.bsky.social?) should write a story about Hell's IRB, where the infernal bureaucracy wrestles with what counts as informed consent for humans selling their souls 📚🪐

I like how in #startrek, space was actually *not* the final frontier. Keep exploring y'all

Every time I have Jack in the Box churros, I think "Wow, these are especially good this time. They must have done something special." I think I'm slowly reaching the conclusion that they are just actually good.

Something that would either bring us all together or cause the apocalypse would be if Taylor Swift made a single about her 4chan days

Oh *that's* your girl? I Call her Doula cause she's a mid wife
