AI RANT Following the cancellation of three major debut book deals over AI suspicions, I decided to put my own (needless to say, 100% human-written) prose to the test. My detector of choice was Originality AI, and the results proved to be jarring, to say the least. 🧵1/5
Grace is 100% correct here. Naloxone, or Narcan, has literally no adverse effects (except potentially triggering withdrawal symptoms in someone who’s opioid-dependent, which is still far preferable to letting them die of an overdose!). Pick whatever “harmless” med you can think of. It has more.
post-birthday grace@acab4cutie.top · 5d agonarcan literally CANNOT kill you btw. it doesn’t matter if you’re ODing or not. it’ll either reverse an opioid overdose or it’ll simply do nothing if there’s no overdose to reverse. it’s a harmless miracle drug and EVERY SINGLE PERSON should have it regardless of their risk level!
I showed this to my six year old and now she’s explaining it back to me in Minecraft terms.

Hi all, Bear God and I need help making ends meet over the next month or two. Partly this is because they've been out of work for the summer, so hopefully things will be better next month. We appreciate all boosts, shares, and donations. Thank you all so much! gofund.me/1e3a07810
This has been a crappy year and the weather has not been conducive to gardening but I’m happy I was able to get enough pink eye purple hull beans to have a nice family meal’s worth.

Some white people talk about the Appalachian mountains like they’re straight up cursed and evil. Please chill tf out a bit.
i.e., largely ignored, often outright denied, its victims routinely dismissed as spammers and grifters, with large, structural, ongoing historical inequities glossed over in favour of using to blame one (certainly evil but far from alone) guy

This has gotten dire and now the weekend is around the corner too. Meaning mutual aid will somehow be even worse than this. Please, just a few dollars even. It’s 90 a night. Nothing cheaper until I get the car fixed. I can’t even get a diagnostic when I’m already starving to save room money.

Got to grab a couple @samarscentstudio.bsky.social samples at their last restock. My mailbox was pretty toasty so I’m going to let these sit for a few days to settle but when I opened the caps they smell pretty promising! #perfumesky #fragrancesky
Does anyone know when the novavax “nuvaxovid” updated Covid vaccine will be available? I went to their main site that has the vaccine locator but it doesn’t seem to mention whether they’re carrying the updated version.

When you are in a domestic violence situation you are explicitly recommended to pretend to be calling about something else, like the famous story of the woman in Ohio who called 911 pretending to order a pizza, no chance AI picks up on this
More Perfect Union@moreperfectunion.bsky.social · 2w agoAI is now answering 911 calls in New Orleans. The AI handles incoming calls and is supposed to analyze and prioritize the calls so that if multiple people phone in about the same incident, the chatbot will handle the repetitive calls about the same incident. /1
I'm freaking out. At rock bottom and am probably going to have to resort to sex work just to eat and be housed. I personally feel uncomfortable with the idea, but it's the last idea I have since I've been told by multiple doctors I physically can't work givebutter.com/keep-a-disab...
