My students rely heavily on AI, and consume distressing amounts of ultra short-form media like TikTok, reels, and YouTube shorts. Their ability to distinguish what's real from what is computer-generated is also super concerning. It's really difficult to engage with them. >_<

Being weirdly tech and education adjacent, it's really discouraging how much an AI takeover seems to be regarded and inevitable, and something we as a consumer society need to simply resign to in order to facilitate corporate gains. :(

Winecaps happening!

Love these images rather than selfies from randos. Genuinely, thank you for sharing!

It wouldn't be oden if it wasn't boiled.

This is... what the fuck? 😅

Proud of Seattle today.

This image of actual protesters is everything that all that right wing pre-election flag soaked AI slop on Facebook with the tag-“why don’t images like this ever go viral?!” wanted to be.

Difference is this is real.

Panel 1: character reclines on a bed while holding a switch 1 console saying, “ah time to sit and play one of my childhood faves! Let’s relax and forget our worries for a little bit~” Panel 2: a ps1 Cloud sprite faces away with a large sword on his back saying, “corporations are destroying our planet, valuing profit over lives and morals. Every day is a struggle to hope and fight back.” Panel 3: the character from panel 1 stares down at the screen with a tear falling down their cheek with a blank smile saying, “oh dear”

Journal comics- escapism failed aka an excuse to draw ps1 graphics

You have a time machine!

I won two Foamies at the local dodgeball league for women and non-binary players!

"The Standout" and "Best Dramatic Catch!"

Sometimes it's nice to feel like I'm in middle school team sports again! 😅

I think it's telling, (and also fucked up,) that I'm genuinely concerned for my own safety when it comes to whether or not to be visible on tee dee 0 vee today. There was a hate crime in my neighborhood last Thursday. The victim sustained "considerable damage" to their face and stomach from a group of men shouting slurs, before the victim escaped into a local business to get help. I fear what would have happened had the victim not escaped. As much as it's important for people to be visible today, I think it's just as important, (if not more so,) that allies are visible today too. Let us know we're safe around you. Let us know that we can come to you for help and protection. Let us know that you still consider us just as human as you are. Because right now, we're under attack. Our rights and safety and bodies are subject to scrutiny and hatred from this administration. Our identities deem us targets, and simply existing makes us vulnerable. Today doesn't feel like a time where we all feel safe to celebrate. We're still here, and always have been. Help us continue to be, please.

Oh whoa, I went to school with her! Small world!

I sympathize wholeheartedly. 🫀

I'm going to be so disappointed if my dodgeball team doesn't select "Macro Dodgeball Refinement" as our name.

I honestly thought this was supposed to be an example of gerrymandering at first. 😅

Keep looking. Get angry. Do something.

Gotta find a new way to mull those werds. ❤️

Did you order it as, "double iced latte, hold the ice?" because if so, the barista might have been trying to decide if you were an animorph or not.

This scrum of pot-bellied, sunken-chested betas trying to bully an all-black clad badass Eastern European wasteland survivor while dressed like Men’s Wearhouse mannequins is peak cinema.

I've realized recently that I am doing this administration's job for them by allowing distrust and fear to leave me emotionally isolated and overcome with self-doubt and loathing.

We're better than that. We're stronger than that. I need to remember that we have a community.

I desperately hope that allies will step up on our behalf. Being bombarded with this stuff every day is harrowing - isolating, even.

They're so quick to laugh at democrats, leftists, or whomever they feel like blaming at the moment for "choosing this hill to die on," yet waste so much time on it
