Discomfort. Two roads. Artist? Fascist?

Working on a q&a lecture for a class today: The story of robots is always a story about slavery. The story of LLMs labeled as AI is a story about class, and which humans pay the cost, including the physical toll on their bodies/minds, and the lack of water and electricity, so data centers can exist.

Challenge for people who believe Claude *is* conscious and use it anyway: Explain how you’re not a slaver.

Why We Must Fight to Stop HR 7661 Before It Destroys the Lives of American Children Lately I’ve been calling my House rep and screaming about one zillion things, and maybe you have too. But today I want to talk about one thing in particular you should add to your list: H.R. 7661 i…

I wrote about the first national book banning bill, which effectively seeks to erase trans people. At the end I include a link to let your reps know that you oppose this bill and all it stands for. lithub.com/why-we-must-...

image of a website pop-up call button from BadInternetBills.com prompting action about age gating and censorship bills with slots to enter phone number and zip code.

🚨KOSA, app store restrictions and ID checks are expected to be reviewed by House Energy and Commerce Committee this week, bringing us that much closer to a censored Internet under the guise of “kids safety"!

We have to keep up the pressure against these bills! www.badinternetbills.com

Don't let them kill free speech, call your reps ahead of Thursday when bills including KOSA will be discussed again

But first, spelling.

Hi guys, im so sorry but I need...a lot of help this time. Due to my IIH ive become near partial blind & need new glasses, I cant afford them on my own. I also still need to pay bills. As well start saving for inevitable surgery later this year. Im sorry to constantly ask for help.

I need to get better a juggling.

It’s like tontines, but worse.

I did it. I drew the map. Now, to write the story.

just became aware of this--the regime wants to clear-cut massive chunks of Oregon's old growth forests in the name of timber production.

you have until March 23rd to comment.

i know we have endless fucking things to scream at politicians about--this is an important one too.

Maia is saying: H.R. 7661 is a national book banning bill which seeks to remove any book that "involves gender dysphoria or transgenderism" from all public schools in the US. This would ban my books, and any other book with trans themes, from public schools. PLEASE call your House Reps and say: NO ON H.R. 7661!

Wife and I got this game, it’s just delightful, art is AMAZING! All around great work from all involved!!! 📚🐱💜

We absolutely love it, definitely worth nabbing!

*soaring = removing (ack!!)

It’s also an outgrowth of the viewpoint that there is such a thing as skilled vs unskilled labor; and then following up with listing things as “unskilled” which require incredible skill to do.

Not explicitly, but certainly connected to the siloed nature of specialized roles lacking cross-comm.

I’m sure if I dig in there’s prolly already a cluster of terms for this, but I’ve taken to referring to this as, Hubris’ Valuation.

It’s the same phenomenon that exists in people noting all the jobs that can “easily be automated” in an org, while soaring their very special job from the list.

Time to Fight: H.R. 7661 Call To Action

Art matters. And what do we do with things that matter? We protect them.

Here is information about H.R. 7661, a US book banning bill that explicitly targets books about trans people, and what you can do right now to help stop it.

Don't be fooled by this bill's name-- this is a book banning bill that will exclude LGBTQ books from all public schools NATIONWIDE.

Call your congresspeople and tell them to VOTE NO on this nakedly bigoted book banning bullshit.

If you want to stand up against fascism, then you have to defend trans rights. It’s nonnegotiable. We all lose otherwise.

Being nice to trans people really did turn out to be a load bearing part of liberal democracy ey

Abolish the legal gender marker entirely. No government can be trusted to have a database of which people have changed theirs, no government has any business tracking what your gender is "supposed" to be in the first place.

Excellent thread from Erin!

It is so incredibly exhausting. You learn to live in a constant state of being heartbroken.
