The more we can push back against the use of AI becoming "inevitable", because it is no such thing, the better off every single person and the planet will be.

I encourage students when writing folklore-based fiction to look into the folktales fr their own cultures. For their final piece, 1 of my students researched the folklore fr their very specific southern Ontario community & came up with a Gothic horror piece drawing on it & I'm so tickled!

I wonder whether anyone's even invented a drinking in which you take a drink (it could be of lemonade!) every time a Star Trek crew member says, "We're venting plasma from the port nacelles?" What was up w Federation ship construction, anyway?

HR3492 would criminalize parents and providers charging them with felonies if they even attempt to access care.

It only took four of us making a two-minute public comment about the library at the city council meeting for the councilors to restore the funding the mayor’s office had cut.
I really can't emphasize enough that if you care about local politics, all you gotta do is show up. Just a regular schmegular person showing up. Literally just show up consistently in person and within a remarkably short amount of time, you will have a shocking amount of influence.

An Oregon pilot program giving cash to homeless youths sees a staggering reduction in homelessness. The program gave participants $1,000 cash payments each month for two years, and at the end of the project's first phase, 91% of participants reported being in stable housing.
