Watching a crow drink water out of the shiny metal dog bowl someone left at the end of their driveway, yes, this is kind of fun.

Just saw a headline that calls Helen Frankenthaler "the Georgia O'Keeffe of abstract art," and I... have no idea what this means.

Now I know how I really feel about the US election because I can't stop sobbing at the news that the left won the election in France. We are so so far from this in the US and yet, if those on the so-called left would just abandon the Democratic party we would be so much closer.

Everything AI seems like a race to the bottom

Also known as “training your replacement.” 😩

Morehouse to be the first university to use virtual AI teaching assistantswww.axios.com The Atlanta HBCU will have AI teaching assistants this fall.

Found a tiny rabbit eating the grass inside a fenced-in construction site, finally a good reason for that fence.

It's easier to ignore someone when they're ignoring you. Wait, I take that back--it's impossible to ignore someone when they're ignoring you. But easier to pretend? And what if pretending is the problem.

"You remind me of Isadora Duncan, do you know who that is"🌺⚡HONEY, I KNEW THERE WAS A REASON I WENT OUT DANCING TONIGHT⚡💋

Always a relief when pride ends, so at least people don't think I'm dressed like this for that.

A lovely pairing🌳💚

Commentary on the debate

I know I'm going to regret this, but maybe I'll watch a few minutes of the debate.

🔥💥🔥💥🔥💥🔥

“AI” is the culmination of the tech industry. Every time you use it, you destroy the environment, erode labor protections, endanger workers overseas, enrich the ruling class, and make something unforgivably worthless, all at the same time – and it's all hidden from you in a frictionless distraction.

And then the anesthetic wore off, a memoir

Seattle, I found a delightful place to recover from all medical appointments in Northgate, who knew

Honey, that anesthetic they give you at the dental office these days is really good, I'm out on the street now just laughing, honey, and tumbling around, don't tell me what it is or I might ask for some more.

Finally a good use of a rainbow🔥

me too, especially if it’s full of nesting birds!

My ideal audience is a grand piano on a fire escape.

Yes, honey, your girl is on the way to the outdoor rooftop dance party, the first one of the year, get ready 👠💥💕

This phone doesn't take moon pictures, but Seattle, do you see that, there she is, a glowing round giant in the sky, perched right on top of the hill, we are ready

"I've been getting messages from outer space. / Your lips move, but I can't hear what you're saying"

Once again realized the song I have stuck in my head is the nonexistent mashup of Yo La Tengo's "Deeper Into Movies" and "Comfortably Numb"

Yikes, coming out has reached a new low… Yes, I’m talking about former Seattle police chief Adrian Diaz coming out as gay while facing sexual harassment charges by female cops. The worst part is how his teary interview humanizes the deadly role of police chief. Get ready for the gays to embrace him.

So sorry political candidates texting me links, all my money has gone at last to every gofundme and mutual aid for what the government will not pay for.

"How was your shipping experience?" OH, HONEY, I FELT SO GOOD WHEN I WAS IN THAT BOX

I would not have imagined a world where “fighting antisemitism” became a rallying cry of white supremacist Republicans to silence pro-Palestinian protesters (including anti-Zionist Jews), and an alleged reason for authoritarian Democrats to call for a mask ban, but here we are.
