today was my last day at the college library (for now) and they got me a giant leaf balloon ("we're sad you're leafing!") the only problem is that i had dinner plans immediately after work and this timed perfectly for me to bring a comically large leaf balloon onto a train full of sad mariners fans.

political violence has no place in our society,, our atmosphere of nonstop violence must be as vague and non-specific as it is all-pervasive

"ChatGPT is great for brainstorming!"

Actually we have a tool for that already! It's called thinking. We use our brain. It's called brainstorming! Clue is in the name.

the thing about rural organizing is the beauty of being a couple, a few, five or so hours away – but knowing your friends and comrades and scattered community are a call/drive away for whatever shit goes down. Lill was one you know would hold it the fuck down, and we were lucky to have them.

i only crossed paths with Lill briefly, and at a really pivotal moment in my life and organizing my corner of Kentucky. I am so grateful for them, and feel so tender for the queer Southern/Appalachian community who are grieving.

Honoring our beloved colleague and friend, Lill Prosperino - National Harm Reduction Coalition It is with broken hearts and profound sadness we share our beloved former colleague and forever friend, Lill Prosperino, has passed away. Lill was a light. Their smile and laugh made the whole room — ...

We lost one of the realest ones. Harm reduction and Appalachia are better off because of Lill, and my heart is with everybody who will miss their fierce presence. harmreduction.org/blog/honorin...

9. If you use Al to write something for you, it is meaningless and we'd all be better off if you had never said anything in the first place.

This is the thing: Writing is meaning. The reason we write things is to express some sort of meaning, to pass along important information, to convey a human emotion or sensation. It doesn't matter whether the writing is grammatically correct, or vividly expressed. It matters that it came from you. That is the point of writing. If you ask a Chatbot to write something for you, you are being fundamentally unhuman and foundationally dishonest. I am not going to bend on this one. If it requires an Al bot for you to express something to me, you and I are probably not actually friends.
