At this stage of industrial development, to not have a Universal Basic income and Universal Healthcare is downright uncivilized.

I am so happy to see this.
I’ve looked up to Adam since I was a kid. He made me realize being odd and weird was a good thing. His book, “Every Tool’s A Hammer,” inspired me to write my Gryphon Generation series.

Ukiyo-e modern Japanese woodblock print, illustration of a window pane, with an outdoor view of black branches crawling with cute colorful insects, with green mountains and blue sky with white puffy clouds in background Japanese text on top translated as "The window pane of the inn at the top of a mountain looks like an insect specimen box." Titled, numbered, signed, dated, and stamped along bottom margin

Last night's aurora is frozen to the sky this morning. A few dragons are trying to chip away bits of it, undoubtedly to sell them for exorbitant prices at a later time.

I needed that grin

Cranky gits we've always been

In both eggs and daily life, you gotta be on the lookout for undercooked whites

1989! Very close

I remember going to my best friend's for dinner in the 10th grade and the next day in school she told me her dad asked cautiously, "Is Rook your best friend?" "Yeah?"..."Is her hair... PURPLE?" XD

It's a lot more popular now, but I used to do a friend's Mohawk that eerily luminous highlighter yellow about 20 years back. There's even some that glows under black light. Me, I've never worn any shade of yellow. Just don't dig it

And if course, highlighter hair has been my look almost full time these 35 years

I kind of love how embracing of unpredictable styles the youngs are. Way wider spectrum of looks with less mockery from the plebes

Nah mostly I just bitch about how shitty drivers are these days

Sorry man, not gonna diss hairstyles as they trend. I don't like 'em all, but fashion cycles and so does pushing limits. Ex, the modern wolf cut style is essentially a mullet, but quite attractive. I still shave my full head to the same height as my front hairline but I like to watch styles

The secret to a superb Parm Spinach Artichoke Dip?

Get all the water out of your spinach

With my thawed frozen spinach

I use a Potato Ricer

Remember water and oil don’t mix so removing every drop of moisture is critical to your successful dip

Just thinking about what part of their body has magic powers in the Japanese myths

I've been walking around the Rookery hollering it for 3 days now

Stop using AI.

Yes, even just for fun.

AI is built on STOLEN images and text.

That’s right: by using it, you’re stealing from your friends. There is NOT ethical generative AI.

Bonus bullshit: it is HORRENOUS for the environment.

(Yes, even the cutesy profile photo cartoon things.)

Called my congressman who voted for the SAVE act.

Me: What documents will I need to vote if this passes?
Staffer: a DL and birth certificate.
Me: The documents don’t match
Staffer: Then a marriage certificate.
Me: Will my husband need the marriage certificate too?
Staffer: No
Me: See the problem?
