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!

Always lovely to see how universal the experience of getting a very unwilling and strong minded toddler into the car seat can be.

[sephospaganplace]

I'm going to put a stop to this shit right now.

The gods are not going to punish you for the way the election turned out.

There's already a trend I'm seeing where people are claiming the gods are mad, and mad at us specifically, and I NEED you to please, please try and listen to me when I say that this is a part of grief. We are scared and looking for someone to punish us, to tell us that we're bad, to validate how scared we feel.

This is even MORE prevalent if you've grown up with abusive parents.

Listen, I cannot speak on behalf of the gods, nobody can, especially random people on tiktok.

Try to see that this is a part of doom-scrolling, it's also a part of the grieving process, it's also a part of fear.

You are not in trouble.

THE BELL RIOTS

This is just to say the Bell Riots don't take place on August 30th. That's the day Sisko, Dax, and Bashir will have been being arrived* in San Francisco. The Riots will be September 1-3, 2024.

That said, instead of rioting, today I honored Gabriel Bell's heroics with a donation to a couple of charities that help the unhoused and the hungry. I've donated to the Hollywood Food Coalition and the SF Marin Food Bank:

Hollywood Food Coalition Building Community since 1987 - Hollywood Food Coalition (hofoco.org)

San Francisco-Marin Food Bank - Every $1 Donated Provides 2 Meals‎ (sfmfoodbank.org)

I made the donations "In Memory of Gabriel Bell." Please consider honoring Gabriel Bell with donations of your own to these or other organizations that helped the unhoused.

Thank you! Stay safe out there. Live long and prosper!

Dear Chuck

As someone who's struggled for a very VERY long time with self love, do you have any words of advice? And do any specific titles you have cover something about self love?

I just desperately want to treat myself how I treat everyone else. I'm giving to a fault and rather naive because I'm autistic. I just need some guidance on how to be better to myself.

Thanks 💖

sure bud. there is lots to say about self love.

i think buckaroos hear words of 'love is real' and 'prove love' and SOMETIMES they think chuck is saying 'do anything for love always turn the other cheek always give your share away to others' but that is not my trot at all. there are lots of folks with a large audience who do self help preaching this way and there is a time and a place for it, but it is also important to remember you can become TOXICALLY POSITIVE, where you are not really listening anymore you are just plugging ears and saying 'sunshine days forever'

here is the truth. IT IS OKAY TO BE SAD. IT IS OKAY TO BE ANGRY. IT IS OKAY TO GET UPSET. all of these are part of trotting through this timeline and there is nothing wrong with you if you wake up one day and say 'proving love is very difficult at the moment'. thats okay bud. IT IS OKAY TO STRUGGLE.

second thing is, as we trot through this timeline, loving as much as possible is important but also BOUNDARIES are important. some buds think proving love means saying yes to everything but often the best way to prove love is by putting your foot down and saying NO. if you have set a boundary about something, do not feel guilty for saying 'this is my boundary and you have crossed it so no thanks' because HERE IS THE TRUE WAY OF THE BUCKAROO...

SOMETIMES YOU NEED TO PROVE LOVE TO YOURSELF.

it is okay to say 'this is my time and my space and i would like to prove love to you but ALSO i need to take care of my own trot, so that is my priority right now'.

so next to you feel like a bud is taking advantage look down at your LINE IN THE SAND and consider if it has been crossed. if it has, then you can proudly say 'right now you need to step back bud because im proving love to MYSELF.'

it wasn't "some reason", it was 2D animators being unionized and 3D not being unionized. and the simple truth that capitalism kills art.

[loubatas]

I remember when 2D faded out, the reason studios kept giving was "it's because 2D is a lot more expensive to produce". I was a child back then so I didn't think too much about it, assuming it was about the process itself, but as I grew up and learned more about art as an artist, and gained friends who were professional 3D artists themselves, I started to question it. Because 3D is very different from 2D, but it's definitely not easier or faster to make. Also, both European and Asian studios kept producing 2D animated movies

The answer was unions. The answer wasn't "this kind of art is cheaper because it's easier to make", it was "this kind of art is cheaper because these artists can't force us to pay them correctly"

This is a Yule to remember for sure.

I fell off the map again, planning Yule, and taking care of life and such. And then last Sunday, a piece of my heart landed in the ICU and is still there recovering. My best friend, my high school sweetheart, is having a crisis. I can’t. The spouse has been amazing and understanding, and I’m stuck in my town because his work schedule and the damned winter storm, and all I want is to be up at the hospital hours away from here. Even though I know that there’s nothing I can do to help except take a shift watching him sleep.

Relationship

Consider any of the friendships or relationships you have with another person. Think about how differently your various relationships are; the in-jokes, references, irreverences, politeness, etc.

Now consider how much bigger the Gods are, and how the relationships they have must reflect their vast insight and perspectives.

Our paths with them are going to mirror that complexity. Just as you may have a different relationship with a family member than your sibling or spouse, consider that your fellow practitioners may have built a unique engagement with their Deity. This is not to say that you can disregard deviations from the lore related to your particular Patron. Rather, one needs to hone discernment and honesty in order to build an honest, powerful, and productive relationship. The lore, history, and experience work in concert to develop that relationship. It isn't a race, and no one walks the exact same  road. Give yourself some grace and time. We're not in competition. (originally posted by me on Mastodon, but felt like sharing.)

I've been trying to think of a good analogy for what voting in Texas feels like.

And it's like... it's like you want orange juice for breakfast. But there's only Tang or Sunny D to choose from. And that sucks, but ok, sure. Sunny D.

And then your neighbors racist grandpa tells you that no, Sunny D is full of sugar, and you're like....but Orange Juice has sugar too. Thats not a bad thing?

And they're like, no no. It's got chemicals. What I have is all natural. And you look, and it's not orange juice. It's just piss. Orange, dehydrated, piss.

And you're like. This is piss. And they say- yeah. It's all natural. And the chemicals in sunny d and Tang will make you gay and the mexicans are putting fetynal in the tang to induce abortions. What you a big Tang fan now? Let's go Tang! Let's go Tang!

And you're like *but that's piss* and then everyone votes for piss.

EXCEPT everyone here has been drinking piss since 1995 and the piss drinking has killed children and destroyed the electrical grid and tanked our education system and has been under investigation for felony charges for 7 years and said grandparents should be willing go die for the economy during the lockdowns AND people are STILL DRINKING PISS.

Let’s talk keys. Hekate as the Keybearer gets a lot of offerings of modern keys, skeleton keys, and I have those too, but these are keys of the variety that the ancient world would’ve recognized. The teeth on the hooked end moved the tumblers and allowed the lock to turn. They were easily overcome, most of them. They had a variety of shapes, materials, and sizes, with temple keys being heavy ceremonial objects. Last year, I commissioned a friend I trust and adore, to make these simple household keys for my shrine, and they’re among my most prized pieces.
