Some of you, Ibrahim, are saying, "I'll receive my salary tomorrow, and I can offer more help tonight. Would it be helpful if I gave you 15 euros?" I know it's not a large sum, but it's all I can offer until work. Everyone, if you can donate even one euro, please do so generously. Any help makes a difference. Please donate. The crossing will open.
Let's think for a moment. Life there will be unbearable. There's no medicine, no food, not even water or infrastructure. Let's save Ibrahim and his family. Please share and donate.
I woke up once again being mad that deltarune is A$37 and apparently there's update news today, so I guess my anger was prophetic.
Anyway I'm inventing a new concept called "dark regional pricing" which is where I make something an annoying amount of USD that yankees will still be like "hey it's only $25! The devs are being so good to us!" and defend to the death but which is directly converted to other currencies regardless of regional wealth and so is fuckedly expensive in most places.
Observant readers might notice that this is how most pricing works anyway, this is because all Americans need to be killed and should not be allowed to have a say in anything ever.
had a full blown panic attack at work today and broke down crying on the floor and it might cost me my job and it definitely fucked my body up cause my blood pressure and pulse have been close to dangerously high all day. never done this before but really need some money to make sure i can make bills this month since i'm probably going to have to go to the doctor now. if you can help it would mean the world, if not please help me get more eyes on this.
home from the er. did not have a heart attack but have been prescribed blood pressure medication and anxiety medication. both of which are gonna cut into money meant for bills this month so again anything helps even just more eyes on the post. thank you all so much.
thank you all so much, every dollar is a weight lifted from our mind. please keep this circulating and if you are able to donate please do. your support through this health ordeal means the world.
Indigenous peoples of the great plains should've never told white people about tornadoes. "I don't know man that shit never happened before you showed up"
I live by the motto, “if you can’t buy what you want, make it.” And this motto came to life recently in the form of a floral mosaic dining table for my back deck.
Our deck table had been showing its age already when the wind caught the umbrella and cracked it. I wanted to replace it with a mosaic table because I’d been enjoying that art form recently. But I couldn’t get one the size I wanted so I got creative.
I spent a few weeks looking for tile and figuring out a very loose design concept. I started by picking a limited set of tile shapes and a color palette.
Once the tiles arrived I had a piece of particle board cut to size for the base and I experimented with different motifs until I settled on a selection of floral shapes that gave me plenty of variety to fill space without locking me into one repeating pattern.
And then I was off! I basically doodled my way around the table, attaching tiles with Weld Bond (I went through 4 full bottles!) and rocking out to the K-Pop Demon Hunters soundtrack.
Once the florals were done it was time for the background…
Over 3,800 1cm glass tiles make up the not-design part of the design. It went pretty quickly though because I just had to fill the space, leaving room for grout.
Once I had the tile done, my husband assisted with disassembly and reassembly. We used the legs off the original table for this one (waste not).
One huge bucket of black grout later…
She is finished.
I enjoyed making it and just looking at it makes me so happy - I can’t wait for all the dinners we’ll have around this table 🌼❤️
This is literally what people are talking about when they say AI will be used to mainstream widely held bigotry. LLMs are trained on frequency and probability -> straight relationships are more well represented in the dataset -> straight pronouns and terms become the "correct" normal.
This is a form of backdoor bigotry from both normative facts (there are more straight than gay relationships) and well represented bigoted beliefs (men are superior to women).
Combine this with the mass of people inclined to believe (and being encouraged to believe) that if AI says and does something it must be correct
i am at animal urgent care with nora, she was wheezing fast this morning and having trouble breathing, they said it looks like fluid in her chest. i'm paying for x-rays cause i don't know what else to do, but i'm gonna need a lot of help making rent after this and i already wrote my landlord the check. please help with anything if you can
hey everyone. i know a lot of you have also come to love nora through my posts and pictures. i'm sorry to say it wasn't good news and there isn't much we can do; this is one of those health issues where once it's noticeable, it's not getting better. today seemed to be the first day it was bothering her but it was going to be her best day from now on, and i didn't want her to suffer & be confused. nora said goodbye peaceful and feeling safe, resting on my shoulder in her favorite spot.
thank you all for loving her with me. hug your animals a little tighter for me, and if you feel like it, leave a glass of water out for nora as she goes.
i could still use the help if anyone can spare. thank you all for making me -- & nora -- feel loved.
this cat saved my life multiple times. she is the first one i told when i realized i was trans, and as silly as it sounds, the fact she didn't seem to care helped me go on. i am gonna miss her so much.
Trans men having male privilege doesn't mean trans men dont experience transphobia. It doesn't mean we don't experience oppression at all.
it just means that we can leverage our position over trans women and get away with it. We can destroy their lives and face 0 repercussions. It means if it comes between a trans man's word and a trans woman's word, he is more likely to be believed.
If you're a feminist this should anger you and you should work to make sure that you're aware of this and never do it. If this makes you defensive, you're probably already doing it. Fix your heart.
