"To be beautiful is to be a seashell, so open that all the oceans and the fluids of the earth, of the body, are heard through you. Openness so open that it turns itself inside out and makes a snail-shaped labyrinth that leads to the future.”

We honor the legacy of Miss Major Griffin-Gracy, a fierce protector of our collective freedom. Our hearts are with her loved ones and all who carry her vision forward.

"We will honor Miss Major forever." - @imarajones.bsky.social
An illustration of Miss Major surrounded by candles with blue background and a famous quote of hers written in gold. The quote reads“I don’t need their permission to exist; I exist in spite of them. I want you to train and teach and love on and create families within my community and gender non-conforming people, so that we can understand that we have a culture, we have a history, we have a reason to be here. We have a purpose. We’re entitled to be loved, and seek happiness, and share that with the people that we care about.” -Miss Major Griffin-Gracy

Stop this sadistic murder machine called Israil!
Thousands of Palestinian kids and now tortures done
to Greta Thurnberg...

Also I couldn't help crying, raging when Sumud people reading the blood written names on the walls of the jail;
- the kids' names written with Palestinian mother's blood -

Hadn't seen this "Cartography of Generative AI" before. From Estampa, a collective of programmers, filmmakers and researchers working in the fields of audiovisual media and digital environments: cartography-of-generative-ai.net
“Cartography of Generative AI (2024)” shows a sprawling, diagrammatic ecosystem of how generative AI is produced and maintained. The background is light pink with turquoise and yellow highlights. The left side has a turquoise vertical sidebar with labeled sections such as AI imaginaries, Critical expertise, Data sciences, Silicon Valley, and AI harms.

The main diagram maps the flow of generative AI development from top to bottom:

Top left: A globe icon with arrows represents global energy consumption, linked to servers and calculation power (chips, GPUs, and companies like TSMC).

Top center: Rows of red server racks show data centers, connected to big data platforms and pipelines of training data (shown as orange blocks).

Top right: Yellow stacks and schematic diagrams depict the supply chain of raw materials (e.g., cobalt, lithium) and scenes of mining.

Upper right corner: A vignette labeled digital colonialism shows resource extraction sites and cables crossing oceans.

Middle section:

Blue isometric office-like spaces labeled AI start-ups and Silicon Valley venture capital, with tiny illustrated workers at desks, computers, and whiteboards.

Orange and yellow arrows and blocks represent the movement of datasets, training, and alignment processes.

A section labeled human labour shows rows of workers annotating data.

Lower section:

Gridded platforms in orange and yellow depict data extraction from the internet—social media, images, sound, text—and web scraping from sources like Wikipedia, Reddit, Flickr, YouTube.

Groups of small figures interact with large wireframe cube models labeled generative AI engines.

Other vignettes show AI products (like chatbots), digital gig work, and consumer use.

Far right:

Layers of stacked chips show advanced chip production and global supply chains.

A blue network node diagram illustrates the infrastructure economy behind AI technologies.

Boxes at the bottom describe research and governance structures.
and singing lullabies...
as I never knew a one correctly, I was always cutting up and making up lullabies for and w them. (making nomeaning sounds mutually and creating a new emotional language.)
that was the part just after the story session.
I miss that too. 🫠

"Şeylerdeki şeyler işte - sokaklardaki insanlar görmüyorlar beni. Oysa günlerdir tutkularım perçemlerimde dolaşıyorum.

Suç bütün bütün perçemlerimdeydi.
Onlar böylesi kıvrılmasalar asmıyacaktım
tutkularımı uçlarına, asamıyacaktım."

MOLECULAR RED, 2015. Main thesis was that far from a Cold War victory, the collapse of the USSR prefigures the collapse of the USA.
