If anthro birds were like real birds they would keep their beak open while they talk and make all of the plosives with their syrinx. Imagine how weird that would look. #thoughtfortheday

the energy i expect the back half of the year to bring is that of a wizard who casts stone to flesh on a fossilized animal skeleton and does not get the result they hoped for

I condemn white supremacy.
I condemn white supremacists.
And I condemn anyone who can't or won't do either.

"The Seattle City Council unanimously approved a minimum pay standard for Uber and Lyft drivers on Tuesday, the second city in the US to do so."

"The law, passed in a 9-to-0 vote, is modeled after one passed by New York in August 2018 that caps how many ride-hailing cars from services like Uber and Lyft can be on the street. Seattle's law will require drivers be paid at least 56 cents per minute and $1.33 per mile driven while transporting passengers."

Amusingly, it also notes:

"In crafting the ordinance approved Tuesday, Seattle commissioned two well-known economists to determine how much drivers actually make, while Uber and Lyft quietly commissioned researchers from Cornell University who came up with very different conclusions.The city's researchers found that drivers made an average of about $9.73 per hour, while the ride-hailing companies' researcher put the number at $23.25."

apparently you just get the sushi by taking it off the conveyor belt, not hitting it from six paces like a carnival shooting gallery. i thought this was *america*

machine learning systems are susceptible to the implicit biases of the data they are fed

so do other learning systems, like humans. you are not immune to the environment you were raised in

that's literally all "check your privilege" means. become aware of the biases of your dataset and seek to overcome them

Because of the tears that flow when some poet pulls words out of my head and my heart.

Because of the laughter that gets stolen out of me when something I know to be true gets said out-loud

Because I can get called out the loudest, and seen the clearest, in the same 3 minutes, and I love that efficiency.

Because I can see people like me, and more importantly, people NOT like me, be taken seriously, and believed without commentary (except for response poems)

Because titles like "Ode to my Strap-on" "They Day You Died Because you Wanted To", and "Lessons Learned from a Third Grader" are all beautiful, for different reasons, that are all valid.

Because when I make my own, I don't need a beat from a producer (though sometimes it helps!)

Because hearing feedback and encouragement and audience participation reminds me of church growing up

Because I gave up on church and I don't get to hear "c'mon, now" spoken by a black lady anymore.

Because Poetry is as diverse as I want the world to be.

So after a little digging, it turns out that it is in fact physically impossible to ignite the atmosphere of Earth

But on the plus side, my weekend just opened up

The rag tag band of adventurers who go on to save the world always start out by meeting at a public house. At least that’s what bards and innkeepers will tell you. #drawings #dnd
