Reminder: you don't have to engage with AI as an instructor. You can talk about AI--even build AI literacy, if you want to call it that--and still not engage directly with a brutal, unethical, ecologically disastrous bundle of technologies. Regardless of institutional pressure, you can refuse.

Yes. If there's no villain, is it even a soap opera? A good soap villain is essential.
PSA: It's ok to "like" having villains on your soap. It's ok to delight on what fiendish thing they may do next. It's also ok to like their sparkle now and then. #GH

The problem with fetishizing the rule of law is that people have to break the law to resist fascism, state violence, and oppression. This has always been true, and is very much the case RIGHT NOW.

I often mention that adding alt text to images helps artists further their reach on here (as there are lots of users who won't repost without alt text)

but

the same is true for all images. Thinking today of publisher & author images for sales. Taking a few minutes to add alt text can help reach!

I made this list a couple of months ago and I’m sorry but with all the chaos the past few months I didn’t keep up with people asking to join.

Now I can’t seem to see every reply I got so if you haven’t been added and want to be, reply again. I’ll keep adding potters and ceramicists until it’s full.
I’m building up a starter pack of potters and ceramicists because it’s been slow finding people on here. Comment below if you want to be added go.bsky.app/Jg45GC6 #pottery #potter #ceramics
