I'm not remotely American but the bullshit down there is making me feel miserable. I really don't want to have to learn to use a gun.

This is so weird but packing orders is like chocolate to me. I love it. I love taking an absurd amount of care with each packing job, lining up the tape and foam with pin backer boards, and then lining it all up perfectly on a slab of cardboard.
This tickles me in ways I cannot begin to describe.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have shown Alzheimer’s disease can be REVERSED- not just prevented. Using a potent neuroprotective compound called P7C3-A20, they found RESTORING balance to a central cellular energy molecule (NAD+) not only PREVENTED disease features but REVERSED them, EVEN at late stages.

This book is my origin story. Given to me by my mom because she saw how much I loved it, it kickstarted my love of ancient history and languages.
"Книга О Языке" (Kniga o yazike) is a Russian translation of Franklin Folsom's The Language Book. Original written in 1963, translated in 1974.

I've become strongly critical of generative AI not just because of all its legal and ethical issues, but also because the people trying to sell it are weasels, the companies jamming it into everything are desperate, and the people who love it are whiny corporate shills.

More people need to follow Katie because she is cursed to draw breathtaking west coast inspired landscapes that are home to the most lovely dragons.
And with traditional mediums no less.
You're very much an inspiration to me, @kamakru.bsky.social. <3
