If you have a complicated relationship with generative AI as I do then maybe it will make you feel a little better about using it if you run the compute locally on your device instead of a power-hungry data center? I started using Apollo AI and it’s great. Backlink: stickyweather.com/notes/2026/0...

One of the greatest things in the world is a banana and peanut butter cup concrete from Andy’s. A comparable Blizzard from Dairy Queen is also acceptable.
This place needs some Innocuous Discourse pronto. Quote this with a take that’s not political or aggressive

Alright, sorry to be so annoying about this everyone, but I think I have minimum posting and syndication finally configured for my POSSE stack! Now posts to my social media will first appear on my website and be syndicated across social media!

If you care about stopping US imperialism, you should consider ditching as much US-based tech as possible. This post from @[email protected] provides a lot of helpful alternatives and makes it easier to switch: disconnect.blog/getting-off-... #Imperialism #NoWar #BigTech

My messy prototype for making it easier to visualize what produce is in season. Trying to cook and eat more seasonal ingredients this year! I made this based on data from the UGA Cooperative Extension. #cooking #zone8a #sustainability #winterproduce

One thing that radicalized me was going to business school and having economics professors — devoted capitalists themselves — tell you capitalism requires someone to be exploited to function, usually a group of people (workers). It is inherently destructive and extractive #capitalism #anticapitalist

One thing 2025 made clear: Durable progress on climate in the US will require structural reform to our corrupted political systems. Otherwise, steps forward will always be vulnerable to the bloody clawbacks we saw this year. A political strategy that doesn't center system reform is not "pragmatic."

I’ve said it and I believe it is true
There is a willful forgetting and suppression of the memory of the hundreds of protests that shook this nation for the past decade and a half. So while Canadians and European laypeople whine “Americans don’t do anything,” the Americans are actively suppressed

This is how I’ve been starting to approach my own website, and it’s so much more enjoyable — adds a degree of playfulness and self-expression that was always missing before. I didn’t know it had a name and that other people have been tinkering with it for so long! maggieappleton.com/garden-history

I clearly have some kinks to work out though. For some reason apostrophes are rendering weird on Bluesky and Mastodon.

Sharing some more thoughts on #NSPM7 today and how it pits the term #antifascist against dissent. The label is being deployed not to confront real #fascism, but to silence critics of Trump’s fascist regime. 🧵
