Good on you for prioritizing that!

I work in web design, and the number of progressive organizations who treat web accessibility the same way is depressing. It seems to be slowwwwly changing.

I’m so sorry for your loss, he’s a beautiful cat.

Belted kingfishers are sooo gorgeous, I would love to see one in the wild.

Curtailing people’s ability to read widely and carefully, to locate, assess, and compare different sources for themselves, and to write in their own voice about what they find and what it means, is arguably more effective than censorship. It is also one of the most obvious effects of generative AI.

I have never seen anything like this in NYC. 5th Ave covered from 42nd St well to the 20s. Nobody prepared for this volume. Volunteers are holding the traffic on all the side streets. No police in sight. #handsoff

Excited for all the new American banana and coffee factories.

We would rent a SNES from Blockbuster for the weekend. It came in a giant plastic briefcase. It was a big deal when we got our own!

Happy birthday!!

Behind the Bastards had a good four part series about them. Wild shit.

hilarieburton The sweetest man. I played @valkilmerofficial 's girlfriend in a movie back in 2009. The script called for us to have a fairly rowdy love scene that got interrupted by a phone call. I'd just come off of OTH where I was always put in some kind of compromising position....so it was just work as usual. But then I got to set the day we were going to be shooting that scene and there was a scramble happening. "Val wants to change the scene." Huh? "It's not interesting," he said. A gratuitous sex scene with a younger woman didn't service the story or the character. It said nothing about the relationship and why either of our characters were in it. Instead, Val sent someone out to a local restaurant to pick up a huge tub of ribs. And so, as the camera panned up from the floor, our moans were those of two people, comfortable and indulgent, tangled up in bed and unfettered by the mess, elbows deep in North Carolina's finest bbq

It was infinitely more interesting and I felt so safe and cared for by that man. It would have been easy to phone it in and just go with the stereotypical way women have been seen in film. Rather than the scene playing on my naked back, he turned me toward the camera. He made the scene about us instead of using me as a prop. That one day at work rewired my brain. Val was kind to me. A thoughtful artist. I bought some of his paintings a few years back. I hope every young actor has a Val in their life. That movie was a magical experience. #bloodworth

This is such a lovely tribute to Val Kilmer from Hilarie Burton ❤️

Always my favorite pic of Oscar night -- the four acting winners together. #Oscars

Hulu cut the livestream but at least #Oscars got me humming “Ease On Down the Road”

The deep animal fear that my AirPods will experience a freak failure and everyone on this train will know I’m listening to “Uptown Girl”.

Adding these to my list, thank you! Thrilled I have an excuse to buy a new notebook.

A very important reminder. ICE can't go inside a house without the permission of someone there. Administrative warrants are not judicial warrants.

Sure, happy to have anything! I was going to get a hand crank radio that witecutter recommended, but that’s about as far as I got.

Bit by bit putting together my emergency kit- just ordered a nice first aid kit from the Red Cross. I wouldn’t have thought that I live in a natural disaster zone, but I think we have to assume we all do now.

(American here) I HATE these giant trucks, they’re so dangerous because drivers can’t see anything low (like a child!) in front of them. You live in the suburbs and don’t work construction, why do you need this??

Well, kind of. American car companies had a ton of influence in making people car dependent based on how roads were planned. Then they sell you this very aspirational idea of a car, and people with cars want to be accommodated, and the cycle goes around and around.

People do it in Portland Oregon, but most of those people use a bike combined with public transit. Getting out of the city can be challenging without a car (compared to say New York where there are trains and plenty of bus operators that go all over the state).

This and a “here’s all the little tasks you were doing” because I do not remember what the situation is on my Stardew farm.

Sticker: trans people existing does nothing negative to your life you crybaby bitch

NICE my abusive former ballet teacher teaches Saturday class at the same place as my current teacher. Really fucking hoping we continue to blank each other.

Thank you friend. The women and enbys have gotten pretty good at saying “I wasn’t done” or “let me finish my thought”, but it doesn’t change the culture unfortunately.

Wow have you been listening in to all of my work calls?

Can’t wait for this book! I think about this when I watch something that came out in 1945/1946, and what that would be like to watch it at the time having just gone through war.

An excellent argument for piracy! It’s a hard thing to navigate though. I felt weird putting my Gaiman books in the little free library, but I’d rather someone read them for free instead of giving him money.

Yes! So glad you can listen to what makes you happy now ❤️
