When you feel yourself becoming complacent or surrendering to hopelessness or apathy, remember that everything that exists today exists because someone(s) dreamt it up and decided to put in the work to make it a reality. We can create new ways of doing things, new ways of being, new worlds.

I hope that I have been queer in every lifetime. I hope I was getting with all the other nuns at the convent in 1174.

I do kinda think it's important to know, like, anything about the thing you're critiquing. In this particular case "AI" just means "mathematical model". ChatGPT is not diagnosing fucking cancer

Cat update: she has started sitting on the top level of her cat tree for direct heat vent access during the winter.

Yeah, I got ADHD

Ahhhhhh

Dontwork

I am especially annoyed in the context I TA in because I TA in social work! It's a professional program! You are expected to graduate with a certain skillset and you are not going to have it if you use ChatGPT to do all your thinking! Your future clients/service users are COOKED and I am worried!

My lifehack for undergrads is that if you're using ChatGPT to do all your schoolwork you can save tens of thousands of dollars by simply not going to university since you don't seem to actually give a shit about learning the material at all.

this is why actually doing your jury duty is so important lol

hey guys. I just wanted to put a call out and ask folks to please let me know if they know of any marketing/communications or graphic design jobs open right now. I think I do great work and could really use some leads ❤️

"You're doing community-engaged research just partner with one of the corps you're researching and you can get some grants!" Great idea let me just get in my time machine to 2004 [AMERICAN IDIOT BY GREEN DAY STARTS PLAYING]

dark woke begins NOW

WHAT DID I SAY

A friend told me I should start getting comfy on another instrument because I won't be able to march tuba forever. I think if I can no longer march tuba I will simply pass away.

I impulse booked a massage hoping it will fix my life but afterwards the masseuse recommended I book with someone else next time because she isn't strong enough to get the knots I have. This is what years of dedication to marching tuba into my 30s gets me.

We live in Hell

I think Dick Cheney learned that a Muslim was going to be mayor of New York and his skin exploded

Dick Cheney dying the morning of NYC's mayoral election has to be some kind of auspicious omen

It never really left the charts in my house tbh

By early I mean before we're well into audition season. It will definitely be challenging to find a staff position this late in the game but performers can plan to audition elsewhere. wish the best to all Mandarins staff & performers for finding a new home this summer.

I'm surprised by the Mandarins going on hiatus. Being a responsible org, it looks like they called it early to give their people time to find a new home this season. Many corps are not responsible. I wouldn't be surprised if Mandarins aren't the only corps on hiatus, just the first to announce it.

mom, right wingers are romanticizing the life of a coal miner in west virginia during 1930 saying “this is what they took for you”

Based on the events of today I am thinking that the sanitary shave evangelists may be onto something

Having a medium or longhaired cat is all fun and games until they get a poop stuck to their ass fluff

I need chocolate oranges now IDC that Halloween isn't over yet

In addition to money donations to food banks & food aid for people, please also consider donating money or food & litter to pet food pantries. Many people who rely on SNAP to feed themselves will now need to redirect $ to buy groceries that they would have spent on pet food before.

High rent isn't just a housing issue. It's destroyed community groups of all kinds, because nobody can get any space for meetings or events anymore

Moving is a pain. Finding a new place. Changing your address on all your docs. Rearranging your whole life. All sorts of unexpected costs.

Doug Ford's government wants an entire third of the Province to live that way - in constant anxiety - all to satisfy their wealthy donors. #onpoli

In the wake of the Portland anti-ICE frogs I think the time is ripe for the left to reclaim Pepe

I really love that the person who was the captain of the quidditch team at my university during undergrad is a trans woman now. I hope she is living her best life every day and JKR shits her pants in public.
