I’m officially a professional actor/playwright now, which is wild. I’m back with Roots Touring next week for a night of queer climate stories from local artists. Details below 🌈

Silicon Valley’s Drive to Get AI Into America’s Schools Is Working Educators across the country are bringing chatbots into their lesson plans. Will it help kids learn or is it just another doomed ed-tech fad?

To gauge how it’s β€œworking,” one would have to be clear on what the actual work is, which is not helping to educate children but rather to imbed these systems in a way that they cannot be removed, establish them as a source of truth, and destabilize labor.

The image is from a "Transparency Center" document and lists guidelines regarding acceptable and prohibited content for insults. It mentions:

1. Insults about:

Character, such as cowardice, dishonesty, criminality, and sexual promiscuity or immorality.

Mental characteristics, including but not limited to accusations of stupidity, intellectual capacity, and mental illness, as well as unsupported comparisons among politically correct (PC) groups based on inherent intellectual traits.

2. Highlighted section:

The document allows allegations of mental illness or abnormality when tied to gender or sexual orientation, referencing political and religious discourse about transgenderism and homosexuality. It also acknowledges the non-serious use of terms like "weird."

Meta literally created a LGBTQ exception for calling someone mentally ill as an insult. You can't do it for any other group except LGBTQ people.

The fun thing about having cPTSD from being perceived as Not Normalℒ️ (read: #ActuallyAutistic) is being triggered by someone and completely losing the ability to mask, then being repeatedly re-traumatised as a result!

I know it comes from a place of ignorance rather than intentional ableism, but autism doesn’t have a gradient of intensity, it is a matrix of traits that present in varying ways across different people. Please, STOP using terms like β€˜mild’ or β€˜severe’ - they’re harmful & misleading

I would like to say a word or two about lab coats.

I have frequently heard that chemists should "always" choose 100% cotton lab coats.

It's true, cotton lab coats are the best choice if you're going to work around open flame.

HOWEVER.

It has snowed in Chicago and YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS! Time to remind everyone that we light our train tracks on fire to prevent the switches from freezing.

Companies will waste 84 minutes and 45 seconds of generated footage to get 15 seconds of uncanny valley and STILL get humans to noticeably edit it instead of just hiring animators.

Dana Goldberg post:

I have shared the same bathroom with Sarah McBride on several occasions, and she never once made me uncomfortable. She did however help me fix my makeup. That congresswoman knows how to blend her foundation, which is more than I can say about Donald Trump.

Script for my half of the species to memorize in case of encountering a transphobe actively transphobing in a public restroom:

"It's a bathroom. She's here to pee, same as us, and you're the one being weird. Just let her get about it and on her way."

Hey you, buy the precut fruit and veggies, no, I know it’s not cheaper, I can read, but you’re not going to go home and cut them and put them away like you said. You’re actually going to NOT eat them if they’re not pre-cut so you’re actually wasting money. You are welcome, I love you too.
