Linkedin Post from a Pinterest designer reading: "Yesterday I was impacted by the Pinterest layoffs. I was Pinterest's only icon designer and product illustrator. In his email to the company, the CEO said "we’re doubling down on an AI-forward approach – prioritizing AI-focused roles, teams, and ways of working". I WAS working on AI projects including the Pinterest Assistant that soft-launched in October. If you haven't heard about that feature launch, you can find it on Pinterest's own newsroom or with a Google search. I was vocal internally about how our users don't want AI slop or features on the platform, how we as employees are feeling uncomfortable and discouraged about AI, and what I wanted from leadership. Last year, I told my manager I was worried about AI-based layoffs. I was told not to worry. At an onsite, we were told that "in the future", we would all be "managers of AIs". That I would be expected to manage some sort of AI employees, rather than craft and design my own work. Human-made art and design matter. I am never going to stop creating, even if the "home of inspiration" decides that creators are secondary to profits. If you want to support me, you can follow me on threads or instagram @bonniekatewolf where I post my hand-knit sweaters and oil paintings. If you want to hire a human illustrator, designer, or iconographer, my email and DMs are open for freelance, contract, or FTE roles."

So it's time for me to move to another platform to save images

They could always try just listening to Black people and LGBT people, and especially Black LGBT people.

Lockjaw from One Battle After Another in an empty office. I'm sure it's fine.

Excited for Bovino and his new office.

Arrest them or stfu.

You don’t want that confrontation? Well the alternative is letting the people in your state be murdered, tortured, kidnapped. Children abducted and abused.

THAT is the only alternative the ICE nazis are offering. That is what you, Frey and you colleagues have allowed so far.

@shannongibney.bsky.social Is THIS our hero?!

Deporting children with cancer.
Using a 5-year-old as bait.
Shooting moms.

ICE is beyond reform. And today the House is voting to bankroll more terror. Hell no.

Seven House Democrats just provided the decisive votes to fund ICE’s continuing reign of terror.

"You don't understand, Doc, it really hurts my feelings whenever I see a Let’s Play where someone kills Mecha-Hitler in Wolfenstein 3D."

Sounds like clout journalism to me. Or these journalists are socially inept. Who knows, maybe both?

Just got it.

Still waiting for the approval notification.

Just sent in my request.

A friend of mine was taken by ICE, but thankfully has been released and is safe. While another friend of ours lives close to where the murder happened.

From a good friend in Minneapolis: "Target is allowing ICE to stage in their parking lots, use their restrooms, and abduct people from inside their stores - so if you weren’t boycotting already, now is the time." They were staging in Chicago as well.

I hope Kristi Noem gets a permanent yeast infection

Experts Warn U.S. in Early Stages of Genocide Against Trans Americans Genocide scholars say policies targeting transgender Americans match early warning signs of mass atrocity.

I want to make sure this does not get lost in everything that’s happening.

Because, frankly, of all the stories I have written, this one scares me the most.

Can we communicate in private about what I can do to help?

Will there be an online link?

Looking back, everyone will one day realize that all that woke stuff was right. Unfortunately, being right won’t erase the suffering.

I asked ChatGPT what will I be?
Will I be pretty? Will I be rich?
Here's what it said to me:

Que sera, sera
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours to see
Que sera, sera
STICK YOUR HAND IN THE GARBAGE DISPOSAL

Elon Musk breaking bread with someone he knows is a notorious child rapist, just because Elon wants more cash from government contracts.

As Elon himself would say, he's super-principled that way.

What in the Gestapo is going on in Grand Rapids?

Watch this activist get arrested *mid-interview* for speaking out against U.S. action in Venezuela.

I personally come from the first generation of students to get fucked over by Bush's No Child Left Behind. Especially being neurodivergent. It had a serious negative impact on me in elementary school and sometimes I wonder if I ever truly recovered from it.
