One and Owenly 🪄🖖🏽🎼

I have so many Aunties and Uncles who may or may not be related to me…!

When I first started to read your post, I hoped in vain that I would learn that OSU was requiring students to learn how to tell the difference between AI generated crap and actual content created by humans. Alas…! 😢

Hee hee! "Resting murder face" 😂

Obviously I need to see you more often so that I may judge for myself 😁

It's finally happening. Along with being a balloon twister/juggler/magician/musician, I am becoming… a substitute teacher!
Mua ha ha ha HA! 🤪🪄🤹🏽‍♂️🎈🎸

I had a dyslexic moment and my brain substituted "killing" for "liking" before I read it correctly… 😳

I also have a concert streaming online next Sunday, pay-as-you-can, tickets on Bandcamp.

And if you're in Juneau, last call to RSVP for the show tonight! mariancall.com #alaska #alaskasky

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

Rain Boots On from Marian Call Live Stream from Marian Call.

Friends in other time zones -- I have an online concert coming up later this month, and you're invited! mariancall.bandcamp.com/merch/rain-b...

It goes down Sunday night in the EU/UK, or you can watch anytime after the livestream for 48 hours. I just played through the set, and it's a great one.

Hang in there, everyone. Don't forget to love who and how and when you can.

There's been a lot going on here. It's only luck that I haven't been tear gassed or tackled yet. But we won't stay silent.

This is my favorite picture of the Red Dragon (outside of the ones drawn by Jeff Smith himself) 🤩

The people! United! Will never be divided! ✊🏽

I'm going to be honest. I feel a certain amount of pride (mixed with terror) over the fact that my town is so high on his list of unmanageable cities.

Woo hoo! 🥳

I just reread The Wind in the Willows and The River Bank book in preparation for this RPG! 🥳📚

WHAAAAAAAAT

I'm Not a Robot Prove your humanity once and for all

This is hilarious and I love it! 🤩

@kijjohnson.bsky.social 's The River Bank has been healing my soul and I think that I'm going to have to reread it annually.

Me after surviving the world for the last several decades…
"OMG, can reality just… NOT?"
::gesticulates madly in the direction of everything::

Image of the hardcover book, The Wind in the Willows. The cover is by David Petersen. Toad is in the center, standing proudly before the doors of Toad Hall. Badger, Rat, and Mole stand facing him in the foreground.

The hardcover book, The River Bank by Kij Johnson, cover by Kathleen Jennings. A scene of a mole dressed finely and reading a book beneath a tree, a dragonfly above her. A rat rows a boat on the river beneath her. And a character walks across a bridge in the background.

I have found myself in need of comfort reading of late. I just finished rereading The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame & illustrated by David Petersen. And soon I shall read The River Bank by Kij Johnson, illustrated by Kathleen Jennings.

it's got to be weird to have acted in a film -- or, like, been an audio editor or mixer for it -- and find out what you helped create has just been overwritten to appease a government uncomfortable with the content

Touch grass.
Touch bark.
Touch fir needles.
Touch the fallen feather.
Touch the heart-shaped leaves on the unflowering lilac.
Keep going.

Should "surveillance pricing" be banned?

The idea that a price could be different based upon a person's search history/acquired data is unpleasant to say the least.

I needed a comfort book. So I'm rereading The Wind in the Willows. And when I'm done, I'll read Kij Johnson's The River Bank.

Trump Cancels Trail, Bike-Lane Grants Deemed ‘Hostile’ to Cars The Trump administration canceled grants for street safety measures, pedestrian trails and bike lanes in communities around the country this month, each time offering a simple rationale for yanking ba...

Trump is rescinding road safety grants all over the country, in blue states and red ones.

The reason: those projects are "hostile" to cars.

Pentagon demands journalists pledge to not obtain unauthorized material The Pentagon announced new press restrictions limiting journalists' access to information, marking a shift in reporting under the Trump administration.

I honestly don't know how to respond to this beyond "what reporter would agree to that?!"

You can tell it's not a selfie because the cat's not wearing glasses 🤪

Now I am going to be singing that song… 🥒🍅🐇
