I’m a chemistry professor & a hearing person learning ASL (so I can support D/hh students). I like cats and playing Destiny 2 an unreasonable amount. I only RT images with alt text. If I like your un-alt-texted art I may add a description in a reply (she)
On my way to an appointment and I passed a place called Encore Surgery and honestly not 100% sure “encore” is a word I would want associated with surgery 🤔

This is one of the many reasons I hate AI: It diminishes our emotional reactions to the REAL interesting/beautiful/horrifying/amusing things all around us. The real world is an amazing place and AI is the opposite of amazing.

I had to long divide polynomials for statistical mechanics in grad school and while I got very proficient at it, I’ve never had to do it since

Probably also identifying chrysanthemum varieties by leaf shape only, from HS summer job
What skill did you master that you will never, ever use again?

Summer of '95 I had a job assembling single-use film cameras, which I did enough that I can still perform the actions. I don't think they even sell them anymore, but even if they do I'm certainly never going to be making them again!

In the summer of ‘88, I had a job where I installed cell phones into cars. No one has needed that skill in over 30 years.

Last night’s finished project. Bossman let us know there would be a white elephant Christmas exchange at our work party next week with a $10 cap. Hubby had the lightening bolt idea of a goldfish bowl.

Who wouldn’t want this for their office. No muss, no fuss, & hopefully brings a bit of a smile. 😅

It’s been two months since I submitted my sabbatical application and I have heard exactly nothing about it since and it’s not stressing me out at all!

I have come to the idea that we have to collectively, brutally, ritualistically kill Target just to show capital that we truly aren’t fucking around.

Kurt Vonnegut’s definition of what makes something “art” is one of my favorites I’ve seen - from a letter to his brother in 1995.
