Former cook, recapturing the fun of AD&D. Relatively intelligent. I will say I'm not fond of streams, twitch or podcasts. I'm a physical medium person I include typos so you know this is not AI b=generated. Keeping politics and negativity to a minimum here

Hey, as a librarian I need to tell you:

Our funding depends on usage.

So go ahead and check out that book even if you don't think you'll finish it. No one will know. Check out that DVD even though you might not like it. Get ambitious in your quest for knowledge.

Robin Hobb, author from Tacoma, should be there.
I'm sure she would like a tea.
And I'm sure you would like The Assassin's Apprentice.
It is in a fine world that would be perfect for new Tea Varieties.

20 years ago, not frozen over, but that was the route to the ski slopes from Seattle. so there WAS snow. And ice an the edges of the lakes.
I remember in one of the lakes we passed, there was a little island in the middle I always wanted to live on.

I'm going to start having empty balloons in my pocket.
So when someone comes up to me with a stupid opinion or sales pitch, I can hand them one and say,
"Save your breath."

Still great pic though.

Hey @bsky.app . Can there be a "remove follower" option?
Sometimes I don't want a follower, but also don't want to fully block them.
I recently had a few shills and sex accounts follow me and I have to block them to remove them.
"Remove follower" would be great.

a Norwegian king crab

a Norwegian king crab

Cis people being weird about trans people makes me think about king crabs.
Bear with me for this one because it will make sense.
You know king crabs, right? Giant crab, lives up north, has long legs, very expensive and tasty, featured on many a mukbang
Did you know they are technically not crabs? 1/

Progress bar showing $44,180 raised of $60k goal

Progress bar showing $44,180 raised of $60k goal

We're in the home stretch & feelin the heat.

This week's mini goal is to make that progress bar say $55k. It's SO ambitious, but we're hoping to move the needle & clear more of our debt so we don't even have to consider going online-only again. We appreciate your love!

If you don't do something drastic to get him out SOON, you won't be able to.
I hope that we haven't already missed that point.

DuckDuckGo has introduced a new feature allowing users to filter out AI-generated images from search results, addressing growing concerns over synthetic content overwhelming authentic visuals online. 
The filter can be activated through a dropdown in the Images tab, search settings, or by using a dedicated AI-free domain: noai.duckduckgo.com. The system relies on curated blocklists, including uBlockOriginโ€™s Huge AI Blocklist, to detect and suppress AI-generated imagery. 
While not perfect, it significantly reduces synthetic content visibility. This move sets DuckDuckGo apart from competitors like Google and Bing by giving users direct control over their exposure to AI-generated material.
