Yeah. I'm on the net.

Very happy to hear that the Maryland Dinosaur Park's discovery trail is now open! Congratulations to everyone there for *finally* making this happen. The sculptures by Tristan Crum look phenomenal—can't wait to see them in person in a couple weeks. Photos borrowed from JP Hodnett. #FossilFriday

"Irregardless" is such a stupid word. Not just because it isn't a word at all; not just that using it unironically makes you sound stupid. But because the way it's spelled and even pronounced makes it seem like it should be the opposite of "regardless.."

Unfortunately there's this idea some guys have that 'bad apples' present them an opportunity to prove themselves 'heroic.' They have a fantasy that when they see a woman under distress by another man, they would intervene. When the truth is that the very idea they WOULD intervene IS THE FANTASY.

er.... my backup-backup plan for moving abroad went out the window now that I'm the only person in my family making money. I'm under tons of financial stress every day and it's getting harder for me to relax comms are still open, please support me if you can. I also have my ko-fi below. thank you

I remember English classes having us write stories and essays, but what letters and e-mails? The assignments could provide context and an outline of things to address. Feedback could be given on tone, clarity, structure, and general things like grammar. It honestly sounds like people need it.

After being told a previous sketch with the words "Fuck ICE" was "needlessly hateful". So I felt I should make an apology. Sorry the message wasn't loud enough, clear enough, and didn't include Fuck the Pedo-in-Chief and all his fascist followers. It's not needless hate. It's positive intolerance.

a lot of people act like there's a trade being offered where we give up trans athletes in sports and in exchange fascism is defeated forever

It’s very simple and it’s been said over and over but I guess it needs saying continuously: if you deem one group too small to have equal rights you are enabling fascism, not fighting it. The people saying Dems are GREAT on trans rights are not paying attention and/or saying stuff like this.

The Democrats defend the Kennedy Center but not trans people.
A building.

@treewarrior.bsky....
maybe because defending everything about a super small minority of the population is not worth losing to fascists

Fear that AI will cost you your job is entirely legitimate. I understand THAT completely. Saying that the existence of AI is sapping your motivation to be creative in general, however, is neurotic bullsh*t. Get a grip. The DESIRE to be creative isn't something taken away, its something you give up.
