Hello new followers! I'm your auntie who likes to remind you that you are enough.
I swear, I knit, I read and write romance and read almost anything, I am chronically ill. I post about anything and everything and fangirl over BTS and many other kpop groups. Kindness matters. Remember that.

We were at Costco and an SUV started backing up as I was behind it. I slapped the rear of the car to get their attention so they didn't hit me. The driver got out and yelled at me for "hurting her car". My friend, that slap didn't hurt your car but if you had hit me the lawsuit would sure hurt you.

What an amazingly terrifying read.
"It’s a twisted ouroboros: universities partner with AI companies; students use AI to cheat; schools panic about cheating and then partner with more AI companies to detect the cheating."

AI is Destroying the University and Learning Itself
Students use AI to write papers, professors use AI to grade them, degrees become meaningless, and tech companies make fortunes. Welcome to the death of higher education.

Boosting for Aleksei via Lev so Aleksei can get a book they need for their PhD
We've found the single domestic copy for sale. It's $175. You've helped us get books before, and I use those books literally every trimester. If the book fairy would like to wave their magic wand, it'd be a huge deal.

Are there hearing tests for dogs? I'm wondering if it's not cognitive decline I'm seeing but something going on with Gauge's hearing. Either one is going to be a challenge, but doable. I'm just curious how we determine hearing loss in senior dogs.

Okay, I'm going to order 80 hats + 80 mittens/gloves for a total of ~$350, which I am currently hitting up my family and friends for, since that's a bit outside my budget. If you know me and want to contribute, send a DM. 😊
Today I helped out at the elementary school holiday party (where I do ICE patrol.) I learned from Miss Lauren, my teacher contact, that 40% of their students are in transitional housing. School gives out coats, boots. And now I have a LIST of add'l needs: hats, mittens/gloves, books, printer paper.

If you're American and don't know the details,
The gunman, angry about women in science, went into a lecture hall and told the men and women to stand on opposite sides of the room. He told the men to leave, they did, then he shot the women. He continued through the building just shooting women.

I'm reading the first of those gay hockey books and I don't hate it (I am mostly ambivalent at best) but can someone please tell me if all of them feature the whole "we gotta stay secret,no one is queer in professional hockey" thing because I don't know if I want 5 books of that
