Fascism in Austin, Texas 

Multiple fascist events in Austin today:

-- Confederate Flag March
- March 4 Trump featuring Patriot Prayer nazis
- Candllelit anti-immigrant hate rally

Already reports of a significant assault on an antifascist. Avoid downtown #Austin today and 6th Street tonight unless you're prepared to tangle with fascists. #antifa

crow behavior 

saw a couple of crows play-wrestling on the way to the store just now--flapping up and grabbing at each other with their claws. it was obviously play-fighting, not actual fighting, as they broke off and went back to foraging peacefully side by side afterwards. I think they're a mated pair. either way, it was adorable, and new behavior for me to see, so yay! :D

A new MIT study finds the median earned by #Uber & #Lyft drivers is $3.37 per hour, 70% earn less than their state's minimum wage, and a third earn less than their vehicle costs npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/20

Congratulate yourself for doing difficult things, even if they might not seem difficult to others.

dreamstuff, bullying/abuse 

I suspect that means more than anything that I'm *tired* in my waking life. didn't have the emotional energy to turn into a raptor and maul him, so... meh. still tired. >___<

dreamstuff, bullying/abuse 

but instead, I just felt--vaguely annoyed and kind of tired of him. so I gave him a couple of offhandedly mildly insulting responses and ignored him as I went to play the game. he ended up watching over my shoulder and asking me out. I think my response was an incredulous "after all that, you're asking me out? you've got to be fucking kidding."

dreamstuff, bullying/abuse 

bunch of stuff I don't really remember; the one bit I do remember was... I was trying to play an arcade video game, but some guy was bullying me, mostly verbal harassment, the kind of stuff that when I was younger would have sent me fleeing in tears, and nowdays would cause a carefully controlled massive adrenaline reaction. in dreams I usually have huge emotional overreactions to fairly mildly upsetting things.

I did some experiments that really highlight how heavily image recognition algorithms depend on probability - and how unprepared they are for surrealism. #machinelearning
