Pics from Korn/System of a Down

#justparentthings I'm sitting in MetLife stadium watching Korn perform, System of a Down is about to go on (ok, 2002 high school me is pleased) and I'm helping submit my 9 y/o's application for student council.

I can't believe that it has almost been a week since we were at the ritual. It was simultaneously amazing and disappointing. I know V is new, and it was HOT AS FUCK but didn't get anywhere near the interaction as we did with Cardi. But the whole yum center chanting "we are legion join us" 🤘 #ghostbc

I just put a new inhaler in my inhaler sock! It kinda feels like it’s birthday or something. As I use it I feel like there are things I could have done differently, and now I want to make another but I don’t want to abandon my original!

It did. But, I’m doing as they asked. Seeing others and I’ll come back and see how they feel

lol yeah tho after Mac (for me, at least) was like “lets see others, then see if we still feel this way” after i sacrificed all my fanfic! 🤣🤣

Very true, though have you finished the update with Mac?

I’m working on Nightmare now.

Oh yeah! I got Betty to love me. I went for Mac first lol

I LOVE Date Everything! I preordered with the Luxe edition!

We’re Light-Years Away from True Artificial Intelligence, Says Murderbot Author Martha Wells Today’s large language models are hardly related to the kinds of machine intelligence we see in science fiction, according to Martha Wells, author of the Murderbot Diaries series

There's an interview with me in Scientific American: www.scientificamerican.com/article/were...

A clear, cut-crystal vase holds three decorative flowers made from shiny, translucent LEGO pieces with green stems and golden accents, placed on a red metal table, the red paint chipped in places. The vase is surrounded by other potted plants, including a white pot with green painted letters and a yellow, beehive-shaped pot with bee decorations and rope handles. Lush green plants fill the background, creating a vibrant, indoor garden scene.

Just had my birthday a few days ago. I sent my spouse a link of what I wanted for my birthday. He got me all the stuff I wanted to dye my hair and a lego set. I put the legos together and put them in a vase that was a gift from my grandmother.

The cover of the book My Government Means to Kill Me by Rasheed Newson. The cover features a profile of a Black man’s face, with bold, vibrant colors transitioning from red to yellow to green, forming an arc. The title of the book, MY GOVERNMENT MEANS TO KILL ME, is displayed in large pink letters, along with the author’s name, RASHEED NEWSON, in pink at the bottom. In the top left corner, there is a gold medal symbol with the words "Lambda Literary Awards Finalist." A quote from The New York Times at the bottom reads, "Extraordinary."
