School still eating my life, but I only have five weeks left!
In other exciting news, I am going to see Stray Kids with my friend Elise as a graduation present to myself in June!

The AI Boom Is Draining Water From the Areas That Need It Most A Bloomberg News analysis finds that roughly two thirds of new data centers built or in development in the US since 2022 are in places with high levels of water stress.

For years, data centers have strained local water supplies. The AI boom has made this issue much worse.

Oh shoot, that’s actually a brilliant idea. I have more than a few kits that get shunted to the back of the display because they were ones I built early. Hmm.

It looks so wonderful though! I’ve been wanting to try that, but probably on something super simple like a Zaku.

It really is that simple❤️

This is the winning post today.

Oh I should have been more clear, this was a oh good golly I am now very sucked in.

I’m now on episode three. Tonight’s plans have gone out the window. I’m on my sofa with my dog and hot cocoa and this show.

Oh my good golly I just watched the first episode. I had no idea what this was about other than a survival situation so… wow.

1. There is a way you can tell that the MAGA/Trump movement is a cult, that it's always been a cult, and that these people are brainwashed. It's a very small tell, but you will run into it any time you talk politics with a MAGA/Trump voter. Every time. I'm sure you've already seen it for yourself.

I have been thinking I needed to check this show out.

😭 You are very kind. I don’t think she meant it to be as cruel as it felt, I think she wasn’t very aware I was slightly fragile today.

Gosh darn it I used the wrong dam.

Today the damn broke regarding everything going on in the world and my mental state, when a very nice kid in my class who is kind to everyone said I was annoying. So I cried in the stairwell for ten minutes before wiping my face off and scrubbing in for surgery.

Just 2025 things I guess.

Now the party can start!

I’m encountering a lot of… is there a better phrase for this than “TikTok effect” in my surgical nursing program. The majority of the students are 19-25 and they refuse to watch the instructional videos because “they are 20 minutes long so that’s a big nope!”
I’m old man yelling at clouds over here.

When masks are illegal in public, disabled people are illegal in public.

While I do understand that most people who use “girly-pop” as a generic honorific for a human mean it as gender neutral term, tonight when I got a “and have a nice night girly-pop” from a cashier I felt even more chilling dysphoria than when I get “ma’am”-ed.

#DEI, as explained by Calvin...

I liked the designs for the Dune movies. Too bad the second move was such a garbage fire of bad pacing.

I just have no patience for Democrats who seem to have been caught off guard by any of this. They *wrote it down.* Did you actually believe it when Trump said he wasn’t doing Project 2025? The entire DNC should have been studying that text hard from the moment it dropped, and certainly after he won

Oh that’s super cool, are there any pics of animals you are currently looking for? I used to be a zookeeper and am currently in veterinary nursing, so I have loads of pics floating around various hard drives.

So how’s it going so far?

Sounds like you have a cool mother in law!

i think 'be cautious and know when the fuck to keep it zipped' is something a lot of people online who have never had a need to do so before are gonna need to learn about real fuckin' fast

I also want to be clear since nuance is dead, that I understand the classification of autism as a disability is not cut and dry and that many do not see it as such, and I am not qualified to make that assessment.
I think they don’t care about anyone other than neurotypical, cis, able bodied people.

A medium sized black dog is standing in the snow with a beard of snow caked on her muzzle. Her expression could be construed as confusion or “why have you allowed this to happen?” But I’m not supposed to anthropomorphise my dogs, so one can only assume.

A small white dog sits in the foreground facing away towards a desk where some shining lights and distant dancing figures are lit up on the monitor. The room is dark, the dog is only lit by the glow of said monitor and a small ghost shaped lamp. It’s not clear who the band is on the monitor and I can’t remember, but it was from the Kingdom K-Pop song contest show.

Three white shelves against a blue and purple galaxy print background that contain a large amount of Star Trek spaceships and Gundam models. There are 23 models as best as I can count, and 6 spaceships.

I would prefer a world where all I had to talk about was my dogs, building models, board games, working in veterinary medicine, and textile crafts… instead of screaming into the void about our rights. Sorry, and Hello.

Brilliant

Defending Musks nazi salute because of his autism is definitely the first time any of these people have ever cared about someone with a disability.
