i've been anxiously chewing at the inside of my lips and cheeks the past few $TIMESPANs and i really can't say i'd recommend it

me: i sure wish there was a big long wood instrument for me to blow air into

the humble didgeridoo:

Coyote chilling on a trail

Coyote is sweepy

Coyote trundling through a construction barrier casually

Coyote trots up the beach towards his next snack

Today I met the chilliest Coyote I've ever seen. He just kinda vibed all day, not bothering anybody, just enjoying a nice sunny day on Drake's Bay a safe distance from us. @wolf.observer and @kcvulpinestudios.bsky.social would approve.

yes the thing is like, obviously mechanical turks supported by undervalued and mistreated poor-world labor are evil, but then there's people with the conspiratorial and nonevidential belief that *all* ai stuff is powered by mechanical turk, even when this would be impossible...

bluesky user gets negatively polarized into believing that LLMs have humanlike conscious experience for the sole reason that it lets them accuse programmers and researchers of doing Slavery (gasp!)

happy cazday!!!

guys if you're trusting unsourced polymarket 'breaking news' paraphrases of weeks-old interview statements just because they tee up a nice quote-tweet dunk then I regret to inform you but you're not gonna make it

complained to my household earlier that i was teething (lower left wisdom tooth has been coming in somewhat painfully for the past couple days) and apparently that's not a normal thing to say. so i have learned

clears throat. less seriously: when a furry is drawn with ambiguous integument i headcanon them as plushie in texture always

like it's not. i was gonna say "not *that* important" but the second example is kind of a bafflingly bad misunderstanding. but you'd think that people would take more care when they're trying to come off as a Situations Knower in their Current Events Opinion Posts

type of person who doesn't check spellings or what abbreviations stand for... brought to you by people spelling khameneʼi as "khameini" (as if only minimally different from khomeini) and somebody who wrongly assumed that IRG was short for "iranian royal guards" (?!)

Joy.

I was born in an Iranian prison. My parents were held in their jails. My uncles lie in their mass graves. Nothing you can tell me about the crimes of the Iranian regime that I haven't lived in blood and bone. That doesn't mean I want my people bombed, maimed, killed, their homes in ruins. If your vision of liberation comes only through the destruction of innocent lives, then it's not freedom you're after. Sahar Delijani, Iranian author

I am pro Iranian people. I stand with them against their own government’s repression AND against the imperial violence in the form of bombs dropped from the sky from Israel & the US who have already killed hundreds.

I support neither imperialism or dictatorship.

Sahar Delijani said it best:

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

time traveler from 12 months from now just sent me this

✓ postal banking
✓ usps email and web-hosting
✓ nationalize amazon and incorporate it into the postal service
✓ post offices expanded as local offices with which to interact with the federal government (for taxes and forms and everything)
✓ usps operated convenience stores

also the USPS should do web-hosting and email services

i grew up believing that "longhand" was synonymous with "cursive" (as opposed to regular printing)

every time i see the phrase "nonbinary folks" i lose my mind just a little bit. a centimindloss or so. it is so annoying that this particular tumblr affectation has become the apparent standard for talking about nonbinary people respectfully
(IN-POST DISCLAIMER: I AM A NONBINARY PERSON)

:^o

coyote: lowell barański (/bəˈrænski/, please)
muledeer: montrose kern
raccoon × cat: farley "lunchbox" tiffin thackery

if you call me by one of these names i may smile shyly :^3C

being stupid high is making me feel plural-adjacent again ('faceted', maybe – um, i mean really i think of them as my fursonas.... no, 'stupid high' is not one of them) but i'm choosing to take it as really advanced level introspection so i'm chill

remember when i launched an extremely small scale campaign via improperly sourced (sorry) wikipedia edit to astroturf "vermontane" into common use by adding it to vermont's wikibox as a demonym. disclaimer do not do frivolous wikivandalism even if it's not mean-spirited
