Every single question on this survey is in bad faith, as they start from a position of "how do we use this unethical software ethically?"

You can’t. You just can’t. LLM AI was built on stolen material. It a technological version of "fruit of the poisonous tree."

Why should I be concerned for the survival of a business that relies on stealing from me and my compatriots? It's wild how they say this stuff like we should give a fuck.

In HP Lovecraft's story "The Shadow Over Innsmouth", written in 1931, the narrator describes taking with him a supply of cheese crackers for his lunch. A certain brand of cheese crackers was invented in 1921. This means he quite possibly went to Innsmouth to fight the eldritch horrors of Cthulhu armed with Cheez-Its.

HP Lovecraft might have eaten Cheez-Its

“All your problems could be solved by Witchcraft…” thoughts about a tour mate last night complaining loudly about their life. Then realizes they are not a Witch in temperament or worldview and think, “All your problems will be exacerbated by Witchcraft.” I keep silent and return focus on the tour.

The "track changes" feature should be renamed "watch your ego die in real time." #writing #writinglife #writerslife #fictionwriting #amwriting #writinganovel #booksky #writesky

This year I realized that the intimate spirit connections that I have, which I will not name in public spaces to the general public, have become so much more tangible, visceral, and real.

I'm 48 now and regret not keeping a diary because I'm alarmed at how much of my life I've utterly forgotten. I mentioned this to a writing workshop comprised mainly of older people I taught last year, and one woman said, "Start now. START NOW. I'm 77 and I WISH had started keeping a diary at 50."

As mentioned, ton of interest in superhero TTRPGs this semester & here is Mutants & Masterminds tackled. @greenroninpub.bsky.social's game by @stevekenson.com is now on its 4th edition! Student offered good insights into what makes this game stand out.

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

Here’s my pep talk after studying authoritarianism: 1). They never truly expect a long-term resistance movement bc they think people are a collection of trauma triggers who are easily controlled thru terror 2). If they can’t terrorize you 24/7 in your mind, they have already lost the war 3). The single best way you can resist fascism is to not let them terrorize you constantly. Protect your mental health to ensure you are not constantly in a terrorized state 4). Keep connecting to who you are at your core. Your values, preferences, ethics, and beliefs. Build up capacity to resist 5). Remember they are like abusive parents: they only see us extensions of them. They have no clue how powerful joy and community and self-expression can be. We can use this to our advantage — we can be the strong-willed child they never saw coming. Spending time connecting to your true self is not selfish in these times — it’s intricately connected to a resistance movement that is tied to honoring our bodies, our communities, and to the land. We have to build capacity to resist by being exactly who we are!

Feeling discouraged or hopeless about the state of things?

This message from @focusedoninfinity.bsky.social is one of the most true and heartening things I’ve heard in a long time. ❤️

“Think of it like a TV drama season finale: secrets revealed, characters forced into honesty, and relationships tested under bright, unflinching lights. The question isn’t “Will things change?” but “Are you ready to meet change with courage and integrity?””

We celebrated 20 years together with an intimate hand fasting. Here is the only picture I took. 😆

I think that is unkind to Randy. 😘He’s way better than Miller

We have long past the point of both sides working together. We need active resistance from our representatives to this fascist regime.

We are fast at work planning for TempleFest 2026!

We are looking for dedicated volunteers who are passionate about building community and excited to bring their skills to making this amazing event happen.

Interested? Visit the link below templefest.templeofwitchcraft.org/join-team-te...

Never moreso than when I’m looking for anything instructional. A recipe, or help with a video game, or wanting to understand how to do something on my computer. Anything involving "step one, step two…" I don’t want to listen to. I want to read.
