There is an event you don't want to go to but feel obligated to show up for because <insert issue from therapy>.

Do you:

1. Decide to skip the guilt, go, and have fun.

2. Go and suffer adequately to feel good about going.

3. Lol. Don't go.

Scientists recently combined DNA of a cheetah with the DNA of a crab.

It went sideways real fast.

I put it where I thought the need was greatest.

Thank you. ❤️

Here are your human rights This is the United Nations Declaration of Universal Human Rights. They apply to every human.

Can you spot which human rights are being violated?

Besides, by that time, there will be some books you're willing to get rid of.

I keep catching strays from "technology is neutral" people, so let's set things straight.

1) Technology is not neutral, especially the subset of technology called "algorithms"
2) The form-factor that makes a technology into a tool is not neutral
3) How tools are productized is not neutral

Exactly.

If it's any consolation, Lexis is just as slow. I blame AI.

For international women's day, an abbreviated timeline of women's rights:

You cannot. And neither can I.
It takes me days.

There's a sea creature whose common name is the pikachu nudibranch and I need everyone to see it immediately.

A river flows around small green hills. A man with a small backpack and a white hat stand on a dirt road looking at the view.

I have a question that's really more of a comment . . .

May the force be with you!

Fair.

Sometimes just picking the first one helps. You don't have to read it. Just choose.

Later, read 20 pages.

Then you can keep going, stop, or choose another one.

Manageable pieces with limited risk/commitment help me.

Eeep!

Daylight Saving. FYI not Daylight Savings.

Is it the choosing, the starting to read, something else, or a combination?

Some of us are naturally silly goofballs. It's fun.

Text saying: I was told there would be a handbasket. Below in cursive it says, Rebel Thriver (I think; I don't read cursive very well.)

Lol. This also describes me. Although my T-shirts are plain and my 3 identical sweaters are different colors—only one is grey.

Yay nerdy weirdos! 🙃

Here, there's this strange yellow light and clear skies. It feels a little loud after months in a cloud.

Happy birthday! 10 years is huge. I am so happy you made it. 🎉💐
