drawing of Jadzia Dax with the caption "I'm Jadzia now", against a starry trans pride flag background

New 5X7 print to fundraise aid for trans people in my state of residence, Kansas, which recently invalidated the drivers licenses of nearly 2000 trans Kansans. My initial plan is to donate the sales from this print to the Trans Continental Pipeline, which helps trans folks relocate to safer states.

A bird with a spiky, golden crest, blue facial skin, a red eye, gray beak, tan throat, and brown striped with tan on the back of the neck and shoulders. It is perched in a tree among dense vegetation.

A Hoatzin taking a break from munching leaves. Hoatzins branched off from the rest of the avian tree about 65 million years ago the are the only living bird in the family Opisthocomidae. #BirdOfTheDay #HeadShots

I was in the garden centre with my dad. “THIS REMINDS ME OF THE TIME I STABBED ALAN TITCHMARSH,” he told me. "You stabbed Alan Titchmarsh? You mean the TV presenter?” I said. “ALMOST,” replied my dad. “IT WAS A LIFE-SIZE CARDBOARD CUT-OUT OF HIM, ADVERTISING HIS GARDENING FORKS. I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE FUN TO STAB HIM WITH ONE OF HIS OWN FORKS BUT THEN I THOUGHT I MIGHT GET INTO TROUBLE SO I WENT RIGHT UP TO HIM AND WHISPERED ‘FUCK OFF, TITCHMARSH’ IN HIS EAR.”

Screenshot of a Tweet by @TheChiefNerd inclusing an interview with Sam Altman.

The text in the Tweet says:
SAM ALTMAN: “We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter.”

The whole "AI" industry is just based on the hope that they can deskill people fast enough that they'll have to rent back cognitive support systems. Forever.

It's like Uber. Just that they don't try to break existing transportation infrastructures but your brain.

That in turn normalizes and strengthens and popularizes eugenic narratives equating physical health and character/worth, which gets weaponized against disabled people by exactly the fascists you hate.

Doing eugenic discourse-- even at their expense-- ultimately enables them.

I’m either paying for YouTube or I’m moving to another state. I want all three major senate candidates to be swallowed by the sea at this point & if I hear any of their voices one more time I’m going to burst into flames.

Always use the mic! Even if you are Brian Blessed, you need to use the mic. The microphone will support the hearing loop - it doesn't matter how loud your voice is or how admirable your projection, it needs to be picked up by the hearing loop for anyone using a hearing aid. 1/

Though ‘guys digging up your perennial beds & main entrance with a backhoe’ should not randomly show up a week before they said they would. I will die on that particular hill 🤬

As day follows night, so will Maine tradesmen always show up at least an hour before they say they will. Especially in the morning.

A google maps view of the area around the Strait of Hormuz, with crude markup showing the 4 steps to successfully clearing the strait:

1. Build up speed
2. Hit Trampoline
3. Cool backflip
4. Nail the landing

The boat is illustrated using a clip art yacht, and the trampoline is also just kind of floating there.

wait. wait. everyone hold on. i've solved it

Three panel comic. Panel 1: a giant squid wearing a yellow Bart t-shirt and some terrible hypebeast shorts is looking in the mirror. It says, “need groceries… but all my clothes are in the laundry.” Panel 2: the squid, now also wearing hot pink crocs, exits its apartment and says, “eh. I won’t see anyone.” Panel 3: two fisherman are pulling the squid to the surface of the water and pointing at it. An overlayed news caption reads: RARE SQUID SIGHTED - the fit was crazy

The pump that drains my kitchen sink failed this morning & I was having rather a bad day about it, but this? This has fixed me. I need a Douglas Adams re-read immediately.

I am losing my entire mind with these people! Can they even point to Maine on a map? Probably not! But they’re here to let us know about obscure candidate, Janet Mills.

“If you’re talking about the Maine senate race you should mention Janet Mills so people find out about her.”

She has been our Governor for TWO TERMS. You know only Mainers will vote in this race right? Right?!? Jesus & Mary. When is this shit over again? 😭

The face of a black ewe with a lamb on each side, one black and one multi colored.

News continues to be terrible so here are our latest lambs. A black fleeced ram and a multi colored ewe. This was taken minutes after their birth. We are proud to raise Gulf Coast Natives, a critically endangered sheep breed.

Hmm - feels like the state forcing me to be religious if I want an abortion. Seems a tish unconstitutional & like maybe everybody should just get to choose for themselves.

More elite tbh! That’s one of the most impressive shots I’ve ever seen and he did it with no sweepers & a much trickier way to deliver the stone. I can’t even fathom how much training it must take to get that good.

For the Very Bluesky crowd: that last bit was sarcasm. Insulin dependent diabetics are…dependent on insulin. I am very strongly not suggesting otherwise. Thanks.

Why do I still post on here really? It’s like eating walnuts when…listen, you know what…

I just saw someone suggest raw walnuts & apple cider vinegar as a help for a Type 1 diabetic with an insulin pump who is moving countries & thus healthcare situations.

Oh yeah. That’ll help. Who needs insulin really? Overrated compared to…nuts.
