“hole in the ozone layer” levels of erasure. my mom was a project manager who busted her ass for years to make sure IBM was ready for Y2K and completely succeeded, only for it to get turned into a late night joke. funny how the stories of mass collective action to avoid disaster rarely get told
DAMMIT NPR.
I spent nine months upgrading over TEN THOUSAND desktops at a F500 client. The grand total was over SEVENTY THOUSAND applications upgraded.
Y2K "didn't live up to the hype" because the industry busted ass to duct tape everything first.

I used to go swimming in this fountain as a kid. It's a LOT cleaner now than it was then... I remember the water being green.

To be clear, absolutely none of these are about books.
They're about eradicating people and they're about eradicating free public spaces.

It's up to all of us to try to stop book banning. Otherwise it will continue getting worse. They won't stop at banning books either.
The pro-censorship, anti-library bills already filed for 2025 across the USA.
It's your responsibility to follow these and write to your state representatives.
Guide to how to do that included....as are some *positive* bills prefiled.

generative AI is a plagiarism, CSAM enabled, theft and slavery fueled platform that is destroying our environment, run by rapey techbros who don't give a flying fuck about creativity or anything else other than enrichment. Go fuck yourselves for participating.

If you come here, as a professor, bragging about how you are using AI in the classroom to "help", be prepared to be digitally swirlied/shoved in a locker, but not before we pin "kick me I'm a little bitch" to your back 😘

Nasty rainy chilly weather outside means it's the night for wearing my ring-tailed lemur kirigumi while drinking hot tea. Yay for coziness.

Periodic reminder that not all activism takes place online in casual and exposed places where you can observe and judge it. Before you decide someone isn't loud enough about a Thing, consider whether they've gone to ground to get the work done. Consider doing the same.

I got a good solid half hour of voice practice in, followed by a solid half hour of guitar practice. This makes me really happy!

This video is old, but it is still a great primer for those of you who are new to antifascism. This regime isn't just simply authoritarian, or a kakistocracy. Those terms water down how dangerous it really is. They're fascists, and they want you dead.

Here's a useful analogy to share when people ask you why you block so much: Think about who you let into your home. Creepy freaks, weirdos, pervs, sickos etc? Nope. Banned. Social media is your digital condo. You are welcome.
