I like to paint and make stuff. Just me in NYC. PFP: a winged astronaut falling out of a starry black sky like a modern day Icarus. Banner: painted milky way sky, the stars seen are actually holes in the surface with light shining through from behind

I do not have the kind of disposable income to allow me to donate, so I repost and try to boost engagement. But I'm only one person. I'll do as much as I can but I can only do so much 💔

Thank you all 🖤

My diabetic grocery funds just got ate by a balance due I didn't know I owed at the pulmonologist's office (or they would refuse to see me.) 🫠

imagine how much bullshit labor would evaporate if people got UBI. you want me to waste my time doing what? no. I'd rather make music or art or write for free and at least bring a little joy to the world, or help my neighbour out, or read some books, or teach somebody how to do something.

胡子哥 @notsaved.bsky.social · 1d

my current take is that LLMs are great to automate bullshit labor but do we really need to spend money on automating bullshit labor when we could just do away with it? the eternal question

As a regular volunteer, I see every week just how much the Astoria Food Pantry helps folks in my neighborhood. Please give if you're able to. Once or monthly. If you're local, sign up for a volunteer shift for food distribution, free store, clean up and more! Lots of good work and good people.

any donation is helpful, recurring donations especially help AFP remain consistent with twice weekly food distros—something that would be great to expand as the neighborhood need increases (and as we lose community fridges)

Six people had their visas revoked due to their social media posts.

Six people are being deported because of what they said online.

Six people have had their freedom of speech suspended.

It won’t stop with these six people.

Either we all have freedom of speech or none of us do.

Al Jazeera is doing videos of the Palestinian releases and they're heart wrenching. One man was detained for over a year and was released to find out that Israel had killed his two kids. The youngest was three. Her birthday would've been on Saturday. He'd made a small bracelet for her in prison.

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Rana. Rana was studying to work in a medical laboratory before the war and her husband owned a small gift shop. Their home and shop were destroyed. They have two children Hamoud, 3 and Tota, 7. Hamoud’s eyes were injured and needs treatment.

Nice comic about why there's so much symmetry in nature by Laura Jeanty & Page Biersdorff on @crucialcomix.bsky.social #sciart

Full comic: www.crucialcomix.com/comic/symmet...

Comic page showing examples of symmetry in nature e.g. honeycombs, bilateral symmetry in beetles, rotational symmetry of galaxies. Does this exist at the scale of the universe, atoms or fundamental particles?

In a rage because someone close to me wants my attention and conversation, but doesn't want to "talk politics".

In the year 2025...

My entire existence is political. If you don't want to talk politics, you don't actually want to talk with me at all FFS.
