Here's my Cosmo piece about how segregated bathrooms have impacted my own health www.cosmopolitan.com/lifestyle/a6...
Avoiding Public Bathrooms Damaged My Bladder—Now, As a Trans Man, I’m Finally Letting Go
Inside the emotional and physical toll of holding it in.

Efforts to police bathrooms are evil and will impact peoples' health. Segregated bathrooms themselves must be done away with, it's the only solution. I reported this question out, years ago for @99pi.org 99percentinvisible.org/episode/wher...
Some joker burned sage with a fan on as they put embers and ashes on the floor and smoke blew back in their face. But it's the Universe saying that your Native American grandma's lineage isn't enough to burn sage? It was your fucking fan first! I said so and they were like I never turn the fan off.

A hell of a flex. “At 17, I was going to parties with Andy Warhol at some rich person’s house and hobnobbing with Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat. I didn’t even have time for my senior year of high school, because I was exhibiting and traveling the world..” news.artnet.com/art-world/la...

The diarrhea lettuce company, Taylor Farms, uses slave labor contracted from the Arizona Dept. of Corrections. The backbreaking labor is often performed by imprisoned Mexican nationals who would be otherwise ineligble to work in the US. They are paid $1.50 an hour.
The Diarrhea Lettuce Company Has Been Linked to Forced Labor
The lettuce-producing Taylor Farms was linked to the widespread use of prison labor before its involvement in a cyclospora outbreak.

Using lists of three is not an "AI tell." It's a common trait in human writing because our brains biologically want to make sure there's always one thing to marry, one thing to fuck, and one thing to murder.
Any time I see Ariana Grande in the news I think of Detective Shawn Popow. Still collecting a paycheck, sitting behind a desk now.
NEW: Remember the racist South Side CPD detective (photo right) who doxxed himself by tweeting a selfie at Ariana Grande? We obtained the results of the investigation via FOIA and Snelling has agreed w/ COPA: Fire him. w/ @jinxpress.bsky.social jinxpress.org/sheepdogcpd-...
Thank goodness she's been released. I wish her all the healing and recovery she needs.

I was arguing with my narcissistic mom hopefully for the last time about how she views forgiveness. She was talking about some megachurch here in town that is very popular and the pastor liked some shitty podcaster's post and the city cut ties with the church (doing some outreach/community stuff).
I'm catching up with #MyAdventuresWithSuperman which is my happy place right now and said as much on Threads and Jack Quaid (voice of Superman) was like "Thanks for watching." I do wish Bluesky had that sort of connections with artists. Threads really does remind me of early Twitter. So ironic...
I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful
If Ariana Grande ends up like Karen Carpenter...it's frightening to watch her waste away. My mom who ran malnutrition clinics as a public health nurse saw her arms in her new video and got flashbacks to her time helping malnourished kids. Ariana is very unwell and needs help immediately.
Google Earth has launched a new AI tool which allows users to create fake satellite images. A collapsed Eiffel Tower, a sinkhole swallowing the Great Pyramid of Giza and Russian tanks in Kyiv were among the fake images BBC Verify created when testing the feature. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

This times a million. Digital personalized tools don't work for you; They work for their creators, and your personal habits and desires are the product.
Companies are all in on selling folks the idea that it’s in your best interest for your products to “know you” as if you are getting a dedicated servant but what you are really getting is a spy.
