My office got to hear my excitement and dismay in real time as I read the email out loud

Someone from CMU emailed my work about an LGBTQ+ FANFICTION STUDY but I’m older than the age range they’re looking for 😭😭😭😭

Poll Shows Massive Participation in Minnesota Shutdown Against ICE 1 in four Minnesota voters took part in January 23 day of action, or had a loved one who did.

A new poll finds that 1 in 4 Minnesota voters took part in the Jan 23 shutdown against ICE, or have a loved one who did. Of those, 38% DID NOT WORK, either because they made the choice to stay out, or their workplaces closed. By me, @thomasbirm.bsky.social, @bloomekatz.bsky.social

Kelsey’s favorite part is when Randy is under the sink and cries “Daddy’s gonna kill Ralphie!!” and then mom gives him a glass of milk and lets him stay in his hiding spot

He got to give his daughter the gift he promised, Kelsey got money for their old Switch, and I I got to feel helpful. Everyone wins!

A scene from the film A Christmas Story where Ralphie imagines his teacher praising his essay about how he wants a BB gun for Christmas

My favorite moment in this movie is Ralphie’s fantasy about his teacher loving his essay about the BB gun and the teacher is so excited she writes A+++++++ across the chalkboard then in the background she keeps writing pluses on the wall when she runs out of space on the board

Merry Christmas to the guy who discovered the used Switch he got his 7-year-old didn’t read game cartridges so he replied to my Facebook marketplace listing asking if he could buy my switch this morning and we tested the game together and I showed him how to use the dock and the joycons

The holidays bring a lot up for people. Some are full of joy. Some are just trying to get through the day. Wherever this lands, it’s okay. May today give you a moment to breathe, a reason to smile, and a reminder that you matter.

The thing that makes me feel insane about genAI is that while people are philosophising and splitting hairs and explaining themselves, there's no mention of how it came to exist at all!

It was made by stealing art from artists! Without permission, payment, or credit! It's ethically dead on arrival.
