If anyone can help, our small town's librarian is trying to stay in her home as the landlord tries to sell it. She's a disabled wheelchair user who already needs brain surgery.
The fund is for her down payment on the house.

ChatGPT not only helped the kid with the planning but it also helped him correct the mistakes he made the first time so he'd get it right when he tried again.
RT if you also wish ill upon JK Rowling.
Also, I am doubtful it will have any kind of Pencil support, at least initially.
If I could unfold my phone and do some illustration work on it in Procreate as a way to replace the iPad, I would seriously consider it, but you know this thing won’t cheap. 😬
I knew shit was bad, but...
hey, cis folks: is this good for trans people, do you think? are trans people still being hysterical? are we still just oppression tourists whining about having a hard time with bathrooms?

I have a #MutualAidRequest:
My friend needs help dealing with an abusive ex and a shitty court system while fighting to keep her kids (a few of whom are Splatoon pros 🦑), so if you can help, that would be awesome. You can donate anonymously and any amount helps!

“techbro” is just the reemergence of thinking it’s cool to hate nerds, mixed in with a bunch of resentment from watching the last 20 years of nerds taking over the world
Nerds are the ones who warned you about cryptocurrency, and NFTs, and the internet of things. Nerds are the ones trying to explain to you that "AI" is just overhyped pattern recognition which we already had for years.
Techbros are not nerds. They're predators.
According to a new study, up to 75% of adults have concealed an infectious disease from others in order not to miss work, travel, or social events. Unacceptable behavior.
Lindsey Rogers, 27, and her husband, Jared, public school teachers in Baker City, Ore., saw their household income double at the start of this school year, rising by around $48,000, because of mandated salary increases in their new union contract. Their school district in rural Eastern Oregon in previous years struggled to fill open positions, but started this school year without a single vacancy because teacher pay jumped significantly, said Erin Lair, superintendent of Baker School District. For the Rogers family, the pay increase means they can afford the $750-a-month child-care costs for their new baby. “We sat down at a union meeting on Zoom, and they pulled up our new pay scale and it was life-changing,” Rogers said. “I was in shock. We were both in tears. We were going to be able to provide a great life for our kid. We were actually going to be paid like professionals.”
Devastating.
Just horrifying to see how organized labor is changing lives.
Something must be done.

Stop downplaying high COVID levels by saying "but look at hospitalizations & deaths." Yes, they're lower vs 2020, but they are still high. And it ignores the serious harms of Long COVID on many, and the disproportionate impact on higher risk people, who are locked out of society.
