facing down all this AI shit, I want to tell everyone you really can do any creative thing you set your heart on.

It just takes time and you aren't going to be good at it right away! You do not have to be "gifted"

This is a tiny, frivolous thing (it's #FrivolousFriday after all) but I wear black now. I didn't wear black for about 20 years because it didn't "flatter" me and wow do I really want to be over that word and its implied meaning.
So I'm going all in on black.
Seems fitting anyhow.

An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.

And I don't know if the answer is: everyone is too traumatized to do work and we need to reinvent society. Or if it's more like: generations are losing their cognitive abilities and willpower due to destructive technologies. Or: we all have post-viral brain damage. Or: all of the above.

Universities are assembling larger and larger teams to deal with academic integrity issues--mostly focused on AI--while simultaneously holding AI "writing" contests, AI-themed events, "hey, come play with these fun tools!" The messages are so mixed, it's criminal. Because AI is bloated with money.

I’m on a roll.

Someone needs to take my crochet hooks away from me.

Found this awesome, adorable pattern for a popcorn kernel AND piece of popcorn. What a cute pair!

So I made it. And I like it. 🧶 🍿 🌽

Their names are Floss and Puff, respectively. Please be kind. They are sensitive.

Among Native Americans and First Nations peoples, the planting combination of corn, squash, and beans is known as "Three Sisters."

In Central America and Mexico, the practice is known as milpa, and it dates back thousands of years. 🧵⬇️

In the chapter "The Three Sisters" from her book Braiding Sweetgrass, Robin Wall Kimmerer writes, "There are layers upon layers of reciprocity in this garden: between the bean & the bacterium, the bean & the corn, the corn & the squash, &, ultimately, with people."

🎁 For this holiday season, consider gifting COLOR TASTE TEXTURE! It’s a great primer for people of all ages with little to no experience cooking. If you have some neurodivergent friends and family, or parents of littles, they might love this! It’s not just a cookbook, it’s a new approach to food. 🎁
I’m an Autistic classically trained chef and I wrote a food aversion acceptance cookbook and guide titled COLOR TASTE TEXTURE, that’s all about finding out what works for specific sensory needs and how to customize food for them. It’s useful for all ages, no cooking experience necessary.
Color Taste Texture by Matthew Broberg-Moffitt: 9780593538593 | PenguinRandomHouse.com: Books
An accessible family cookbook that offers solutions rather than tricks to empower the food-averse, autistic, and picky eater, with 46 recipes. This much-needed cookbook combines tips and techniques.....

BLACK FRIDAY SALE
through Monday Dec 1, almost everything in my shop is 20% off (some a little less, some more! in-stock items only)
My merch is niche by design, so it makes for gifts that feel thoughtful and personal if anyone on your list is a lefty or queer Trekkie.
willburrows.art/shop
I'm an untrained artist designing merch that draws on niche pop culture mashups for queer pride, nerd humor, and agitprop for a better world being possible. This thread includes a sampling of my work, which you can find on stickers and shirts, pins, prints, and patches at willburrows.art/shop
