A rectangular text box, with an essay in some fancy font I found online (that probably made you blind if you weren't already) The text reads: **Words in Orbit: Finding A Voice Through Connection and Courage** *By J. Ashley Gorman* A long time ago, there was a young girl who loved writing stories, reading and learning about everything she could, and sharing and teaching ideas to anyone who listened. Through the best and worst of her life, it was one of the very few things in which this girl felt confident. Yet over the decades, as the girl became a middle-aged woman, her troubled circumstances and untreated neurological disorder slowly eroded her abilities. Words stopped coming; every ink-less notebook and empty text box reinforced her belief that she had nothing worthwhile to say. She’d like to say this class magically healed that wound. It didn’t—but for the first time in years, she began to trust her own words and ideas again.

Spring semester wrapped up today, for better or worse. I am proud of my accomplishments, and have grown significantly from the challenges.

This is the intro to my final essay for English. It's a coherent masterpiece for this dopamine-challenged train wreck of a brain. Maybe I can do this

Yep

I’m a Member of Congress on the committee for Government Oversight and I can’t tell you that he’s not. That’s a problem.

Google drops pledge not to use AI for weapons or surveillance Google changed its public AI policies to remove assertions that it would not develop AI applied to surveillance or weapons.

What the fuck

Pretty disappointed overall in the response of the cybersecurity community to literal nazis taking over the government. I can count maybe a dozen colleagues using their skills or even speaking out about this.

I’m no expert in democratic collapse, but here’s what I’m watching for now:

* Seizing private property
* Arresting people on fictitious charges or no charges
* Ignoring/rejecting court orders
* Awarding grants and contracts outside of the legal process

Real feels

Don't know why I have to point this out, but because this is social media: observing that gutting the US intelligence community helps the adversaries of the United States is not the same thing as enthusiastically endorsing every CIA black op and every NSA overreach of the past 75 years.

The takeover of Twitter was a preview of what we're all living with now and a stark example of why you can't let any one person have too much money: they go insane and make themselves everybody's problem

Just wait till they find out that educated feminists like sportsball too.

Happy Black History Month! Here is my favorite story about a Black American you may not know about: Robert Smalls. He commandeered a confederate ship and sailed himself, his family, and the other enslaved crew and their families to freedom. THROUGH waters controlled by the Confederacy.

The Betazed leadership will continue to grumble to their citizens, making blanket idealistic and philosophical points to the ridiculousness of this action… but of course will have no solutions or take any action to fight you

Curious what everyone’s #education plans are in the coming months. I’ll be a #college junior by the end of the semester-my neurological stuff will make it a little more difficult to try to cram in the next two years. Is it worth finishing my #degree in a red state or trying to find other options

ATTENTION BAJORAN WORKERS: My administration will be imposing a 25 percent tariff on Betazed, a 25 percent tariff on Andoria and a 10 percent tariff on the Gorn Hegemony. #StarTrek #SISKO197
