If you ever want to read a paper for free and can't find it otherwise, email the lead author and politely ask for a copy. You will not be bothering the person. You will in fact make their whole entire day. I have had scientists get so excited I asked they sent me everything they ever published.

...she had such good poses
I genuinely thought the “artists peak at 30” thing meant you shouldn’t worry about making something amazing while you’re still a kid and it’s still “impressive”; that most artists need to become a mature adult before they create their breakout hit.
Sigh…how wrong I was…
People keep talking about if Bluesky is “relevant” or if it has reach or whatever, I don’t care I’m here to have fun, do what u want

People can say it’s utopian or dreamy but it’s a fact that you have to believe new things are possible, fundamentally, in order to make them real. You have to make the choice to believe that more than this is possible & not be resigned to this being the way things have to be because it’s not at all.
large truck gets isekai'd into fantasy world instead of human it was about to hit, accidentally killing an important political figure, kicking off a series of events that will lead to a massive war
Over on threads someone just use ai;dr and we all need to adopt that right quick

The point of the AI project is to provoke despair in creative people. They haven’t produced profits or anything anyone wants, just a steady stream of articles about how us artistic types can’t do the thing we’re already doing, making art. Jokes on them, we’re even better at despair than they are.
Take me down to the Parallax city where the far moves slow and the near moves quickly
Feeling some kind of way because I spent the 00s being told that my political views were naive and childish
And it turns out every evil person on the planet knows each other and they go to an island to plan their crimes like fuckin Lex Luther

“Are the arts important?” Humanity practiced them long before they had use for science and will practice them long after math is gone. Is the dawn important? Is dusk?
Lissa poses with her hands in front of her face-- one normal, one wrapped in blood claws. More blood dribbles from her toothy grin.

i think this MLK day the thing to focus on is the strategic focus and tactical brilliance of the civil rights movement and the way it was laser focused on a set of achievable goals
I need this to be real 🥺
They're Oregon Waffles, actually ☝🤓
Thank you! And yes~ 👍

This past week if anything shows there is no tuning this out. Find your joy, rest, but do not do it at the risk of numbing yourself to everything
I don’t find it productive to shame people for ‘showing up late’ wrt to social awareness. We all show up when we show up. But I strongly encourage new people who show up to do so while assuming a listening posture. I promise, we’ve heard your ideas & opinions before, back when we were less informed.

I love iodized salt. I love fluoridated water. I love enriched flour.
I love public health tools that save lives and improve quality of health just by silently existing. They're amazing.
Many of you are psyching yourself up to start that dream project in 2026.
AWESOME
Just keep in mind that devoting your free time to achieving your dreams is not the same as Hustle Culture. Keep your mind on you and your art and don't fall into the trap of thinking every minute should be monetized.
THIS IS BEAUTIFUL 💖
