i don't usually post my embroidery on here but i'm really happy with how this piece turned out! inspired by this post by @siarven, made and posted with their permission of course :)
dandelions as a symbol for transness is a concept that means so much to me actually. ever since i first saw the post that inspired this (and the post by @doppelnatur which in turn inspired that post) it's been stuck in my head. i've loved dandelions for a long time and was already attached to them as symbols of hope, determination, and a refusal to conform or give in, and having my eyes opened to their potential as trans symbols as well made me love them even more.
to all my fellow trans people out there: may we all grow, transform ourselves, and flourish, in spite of everything the world throws at us <3

alright I've got to do some quick math to explain attitudes towards AI to my boss.
we're looking to create an AI policy, and when we were talking about this, my boss (older millennial) was genuinely shocked to hear that younger people do not (seem) to view AI positively (a la the recent commencement speakers being booed)
please rb for larger sample size!
Question 1/3
What is your age, and do you feel AI is a net positive or net negative in our lives today?
under 18, AI is a net positive
under 18, AI is a net negative
18-29, AI is a net positive
18-29, AI is a net negative
30-45, AI is a net positive
30-45, AI is a net negative
46-60, AI is a net positive
46-60, AI is a net negative
over 60, AI is a net postive
over 60, AI is a net negative
Question 2/3
How often do you visit or interact with museums/archives (whether in person or online)?
Frequently (multiple times per month)
Often (multiple times per year)
Occasionally (a couple times per year)
Rarely (once every couple of years)
Never :(
Question 3/3
If you saw a museum was using AI in exhibits, marketing, research, etc., would you be more or less inclined to visit that museum?
under 18, more inclined
under 18, less inclined
18-29, more inclined
18-29, less inclined
30-45, more inclined
30-45, less inclined
46-60, more inclined
46-60, less inclined
over 60, more inclined
over 60, less inclined
Thank you for helping with this data collection. Please rb for as big a sample as possible!

hi!! sorry if you've been asked this question before, but as someone who wants to be a lawyer, how do you deal with defending people that morally you really don't agree with? thanks!
I get a lot of versions of this question, and I answer it seriously every time, because itās both important and not important at all. Anyone who asks respectfully gets my whole ass answer.
Itās just not really about that. My job isnāt about defending the idea of hurting someone else. Itās about stopping the state from inflicting further hurt, torture, pain. Itās about pushing back for some fairness against a monumentally stacked system. And itās about stuff thatās normal human stuff that counts as crime for some reason.
Yeah, itās hard to do a sex abuse case. Sometimes the images stick around and it bothers me. But honestly? Mostly those cases have real plausible theories of innocence or theyāre cases that I will lose because the evidence is there, and the question is not whether the perpetrator will go to jail but how long.
Those cases are so rare, though. I get so much pointless bullshit. Felony of a teen taking momās car without permission. Two kids that try to break into a car and get so scared by the alarm that they run away. Trespassing on dadās house because his new girlfriend wants you to stop coming around. Itās just human stuff, and the violence of the state is not necessary or helpful.
I also reject the idea of punishment completely. The state has a responsibility to stop people from hurting other people again. But inflicting pain doesnāt do it, we know this by now. So I argue for mercy and for real solutions to real problems. Iām here to build a future, not get caught up with doing violence to someone because of the past.
So yeah, sometimes itās hard, but mostly my conscience is dead clear: Iām not responsible for the crime. The damage has been done. I want to start the healing process, and I want it for everyone involved. When thatās not possible, I just want to tell the authorities they donāt get to just Do What They Want.
The more I do this job, the more I am a genuine pacifist who is against violence in all forms, and actually I donāt see a contradiction between that and what I do for a living. State violence is a pervasive evil that tears apart families, communities, and countries, and itās far more damaging and awful than any individual crime. The average prosecutor has more blood on their hands than a serial killer, but itās invisible: people who died in jail, who froze to death on the street, who were shot in a drug deal. Their violence begets violence.
When I get blood on my hands, itās because I put my hands over the wounds and try to stop the flow. Iām okay with it.
Also: people donāt ask doctors how they can stand to treat bad people. Why ask me?
#i find people have such an inherent misunderstanding of the roles of defense attorneys (understandably but still)#in that most people i talk to seem to be envisioning me personally defending the right of people to commit crimes or that like. Crime Is#Good Actually#āyeah this person did X but they should never face any consequences ever please and thank you judgeā#(and people think this would WORK??? a different tangent on a lack of legal education and cop shows being awful etc)#meanwhile i am simply protecting peopleās rights. yes even those peopleās#idk i could write my own post but op Gets It and also a prosecutor just filed the DUMBEST motion ive ever seen and i need to respond to that#instead lmao (via @anixit26)
The number of people who respond to my post about how even the guiltiest person in the world deserves rights with "but not [crime I think makes you undeserving of rights]!" is truly insane. People really truly think that being accused of a crime makes you irredeemably evil and protecting the rights of those accused means you are also evil.
The “criminal justice reform” movement is in danger. Efforts to change the punishment bureaucracy are at risk of being co-opted
