I love to play video games and write sci- fi stories. In my spare time, I’m a mostly retired nurse. Enby, lesbian, no pronoun preference really.

Wondering why your utility bills are getting so expensive?
AI could be a big reason why.
AI data centers cost a ton to upkeep, and big tech companies are passing on those costs to local communities.
I'm pressing for answers.

Glutamate is the primary molecule that neurons use to communicate with each other.
Previously, scientists have mostly recorded when neurons fire output signals, but now with a new glutamate indicator, they can record the many inputs that causes cells to fire. 🧵

Here's Andrew Johnson's impeachment resolution text, in the handwriting of Rep John Covode, who introduced it (later modified to add the words "while in office"). This was voted on and resulted in Johnson's impeachment. Articles came after. Trump Imp 3.0 could be done in days.

Finished reading @oroboro.itch.io 's new book today, and it's wonderful. Highly recommended for anybody who likes sapphic romance that's both cute and dramatic, couldn't put it down. Normally I don't even read romance, but Beatrice is such a good #writer I made an exception. #booksky

"look we're not using AI in the final product we're just using it to speed up the conceptual stage" is what a lot of dopes affecting an enlightened middle position keep saying. I truly do not get that one. You hate imagining stuff? You don't like thinking and conceptualizing? Get a grip

I strongly second this rec:
You could get all seven seasons of Legends of Tomorrow on Blu-ray for $60 (or $51 with coupon if this is your first order from Gruv, Warner's online store!) The first season is a bit rough but if you make it through there is a wild, fun, and very queer ensemble superhero adventure awaiting you!

These Pygmy Fruit-eating Bats are another one of my neighbors here at @casabentbill.bsky.social #CostaRica
They cut along the midrib of banana leaves to make them collapse into a protected little house. And then they cuddle with each other and wonder why this strange man is looking at them.

When folks gripe about DEI, remind them who benefited from shutting out dancers like Copeland. That pattern runs through our whole history.

Thoughts on a rainy Monday morning! It’s never too late to learn something new- and it usually opens you up to new pathways in the things you know well.
