I want to thank God and @blvck-bunnie.bsky.social (not even active on this app) for helping me function when meds and my body are against it.

As humorous and cathartic as the first half of this clip is, please don't let it distract from the second.

There will ALWAYS be hope. Just as the sun shines, it truly is up to each and every one of us to make the world a little brighter, even if it's as simple as bringing a smile to a weary face.

Earlier this year, Dr. Jane Goodall sat down for an interview for Brad Falchuk’s new Netflix series, Famous Last Words.

The premise of the series is to interview people on the condition that the interview not air until the subject has passed away.

I just saw someone use the abbreviation “AI;DR” and I’ll be laughing for a while.

Inktober 6: Repair
You're special, I can tell.
[ #art #tf #maccadam #tfdrift #tfratchet #dratchet #inktober #ranchtober2025]

A digital drawing of two characters from Transformers. One, Drift, a white-and-black transformer, is lying on a medical slab with tubes and wires coming out of him. He is dinged up and rusty and being operated on by an orange-and-white medic, Ratchet. There are electric arcs around Drift's head. The text in the bottom right corner reads: "cait-sith@tumblr" and "cait-sithe@bksy".

Really want to encourage libraries - especially school libraries - to put no-AI content into your collection development policy. At the very least, if you have a clause in there about requiring accurate information, you can use that to weed out or prevent genAI purchases.

Jack Tripper @chadstanton.blacksky.app · 2d

“When you get a suspicious book, “you look it up to see what else the [author] has written. And you see there's 30 things, and none of them have any reviews, and they were all written in the last two years,” DeMeester-Lane says.”

How Local Librarians Keep AI Slop Off the Shelves

AI is being used to create nonsensical, sometimes dangerously inaccurate books. Local librarians are tasked with keeping these volumes out of their collections.

✨Burnt rubber smoke signals✨has updated!

archiveofourown.org/works/640808...

While Ratchet urges Rodimus to step back from rash decisions, Deadlock witnesses desperation, has his time in Crystal City thrown in his face, and comes face to face with Bludgeon.

Hope the appointment was at least swift and painless, because that can’t be fun.

Take your time! The new chapter is 9K words and probably pretty heavy. I hope you get better soon. ✨💖✨

(And don’t worry, the anxiety disappears once feedback comes in.)
