Got lost in Dirksen/Hart and found another bemohawked person. He worked in Biden/Harris when it was purple and green but it isn’t currently dyed.

Listening to the CIA’s Wind of Change (cover by the Scorpions) on my way to the Senate offices is a bit surreal. But a good reminder.

Reading the titles of Bradbury stories is poetry enough. And yet each story is a world.

The East Coast is weirdly formal and right now dressing for Washington, D.C. is fucking with my head.

Peeves on par with two-spaces-after-a-period:

• space before a paragraph (at the end of a paragraph, instead of hitting "enter", you hit "spacebar" and THEN "enter")

• shift-enter instead of enter

I feel like other people don't notice these but I SEE them in every doc and they drive me batty

Had a WILD conversation today with the Sisters about how #4 is, apparently, prepared for a vampiric siege of the Compound.

I’m a west coast girl and I’m looking for nylons to wear to Congress next week and the first ones I found had steel greaves screen-printed onto them.

Oh! how I wish I could wear them 😂

it's pretty wild to be doing "stop being racist to my computer friend" discourse when the forces of Actual Racism are totally ascendant in government and inventing new ways to arrest people for their skin color every day

Which, BTW, makes me an advocate for global multiculturalism and federalism, because all the alternatives are worse, much worse.

Raven Onthill @ravenonthill.bsky.social · 3d

The *world* works better as a multicultural society. The alternative is suppression of culture, if not outright ethnic cleansing and genocide. If one draws borders between cultures as nationalism attempts, there will always be people on the wrong side of every border.

This is such bullshit. There’s no hell hot enough for people who pretend racism to ai is a thing while the rest of us live in the actual world with real, tangible racism ruining and ending lives.

👏🏼 this is also in line with “being polite to your digital secretary is bad, akshly”. Devaluing one female-coded entity in your life helps you dehumanize the women you know.

Like… it's kind of right there, no?

"AI" generated image of woman with dark hair sitting in a chair in front of posters with random shapes and symbols meant to look like images and text on movie posters, all superimposed with a post from k.w.bogen reading
"AI actresses can't negotiate. They can't say they'd prefer their bodies not be shown certgain ways. They can't refuse degrading scenes. They can't express distress about disturbing content. They can't ask the creators :why would you do that to me? Why put any woman through watching that? If AI film winds up being the path, we're about to see an entirely new generation (and more brutal depiction) of media misogyny."

Thank you to the Alaska Raptor Center for telling the truth that birders already knew: every bald eagle cry you hear in an advertisement is a red-tailed hawk.
