Remember the episode of #StarTrek #TNG where the crystals call humans “ugly bags of mostly water”? Well, I loved that episode as a kid, so I wrote a story inspired by it.

“Captain Jacques hoped these spires were the remnants of a long-ago civilization. He longed to search for signs of that civilization and learn about what kind of creatures could have once lived here.”

a zine about testosterone

One thing I don't think people get about red states is that they're fed a CONSTANT diet of "the government can't do anything right, elect me and I will reduce the government's role in your lives"

And then the patently corrupt people saying this get elected, hand out plum positions to their cronies, loot the state funds to line their pockets while destroying public services, and thereby REINFORCE the perception that the government can't do anything right

And the cycle continues

The gender of the day is a shimmering solar system.

Reddit: "My friend is in university and taking a history class. The professor is using ChatGPT to write essays on the history topics and the students need to mark up its essays and point out where ChatGPT is wrong and correct it."

Honestly, this is great! The students learn to check sources, discover that ChatGPT is unreliable, *and* can't use it to generate essay question answers for them, all at the same time!

I will not be happy with the state of intra-city transport in europe until:
- Car industry lobbying efforts will be supressed
- Every medium and big city will have trams
- The said trams will be GAY trams
- I will be able to ride with my GAY friends on the GAY tram and perhaps HUG and KISS them 🥺 🥺 🥺 👉 👈 🚊

My child told me they need a topic for an argumentative essay they have to write for school.

I am happy to announce they are now writing an essay on how cash bail for non-violent offenses merely serves to deprive the poor of their right to a presumption of innocence and the ability to effectively defend themselves.

Welcome back to a bunch of people who started accounts on Mastodon in November then slunk back to Twitter hoping things wouldn't get worse.

Take my advice and just stay here next time! Uninstall the Twitter mobile app and install either Tusky (android) or Ivory (iOS) and start following people here. You won't need to go back!

I won't lie and say the transition is *painless*... it takes like... 72 hours and some clicking to get set up and used to it?
