i think some of you guys should question why algorithms are only feeding you this negative information about argentina, only representing us as either violent, racist, or both, instead of showing you the black and brown argentinians and immigrants who are trying to tell you how it is living here, instead of showing you families being happy about the wins or argentinians supporting other latam countries throughout the world cup, algorithms that are programmed and designed overwhelmingly by usa rightwingers and zionists, and why would they want the world to have such a negative image of argentina at the same time as our president, a us/israeli puppet, is trying to remove laws that protect our land and resources so billionaires in those countries can buy it and exploit it, at the same time as peter thiel moved to argentina because he knows that same puppet president will give him whatever the fuck he wants and let him do whatever the fuck he wants, at the same time as israeli companies are trying to buy our water and burn our forests. think about it.

seek leftist argentinian voices, indigenous argentinian voices, black and brown argentinian voices, progressive argentinian voices. learn about our history and our current political climate from them, not from your algorithm, not from whatever goes viral.

girl who sat next to me at the coffee shop had that Tortured By Computer Work look in her eye so i turned to her and was like Are u doing research? and it turns out she (white) just started working as an indigenous liaison for an ecological wellness surveying company (hired bc she worked with the local nation for a year) so i was like OMG can i share resources with you. and whipped out my 1 million notes and academic papers on ethical Indigenous-settler relations/research and Indigenous perspectives on ecological restoration. she was like omg are u sure this is basically a whole course for free and i wanted to tear my shirt off liek YES!!!! I WANT TO PROMOTE LOW BARRIER EDUCATION TO ADVANCE DECOLONIZATION AND RECONCILIATION!!!!!!!!!!! STEP IN2 MY GOOGLE DOC !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[windowz97]

here's a googoodrive folder containing learnings on Experiential Learning in Ecological Restoration annnddd Research Practice in Indigenous Contexts. each course folder contains a "![Course number] Notes" document as well as PDFs of all the text-based readings that the notes draw from :-)

i plan 2 make accessible the learnings from my other classes too but i think ill only have time to do all that anonymizing & reformatting once i graduate in a few months lol

it's funny how "press F to pay respects" was such a gigantic meme that it seems to have permanently affected the way we talk online. people use it completely genuinely and unironically. had a bad day? F. died in a videogame? F. I see it constantly in Discord, Twitch and ingame chats. like it's actually being used as common shorthand. when it only gained prominence because of how hilariously stupid this screenshot is

hot take in a roundabout way i think that's also why so many of us opt out of becoming parents ourselves

Apparently some people still need to hear this so: using an 'ai checker' is still using ai. If you are feeding someone's fic to one of these checkers, you will still not be sure their fic is ai because they are not 100% accurate, but you can be 100% sure that you are using ai. For fic. Furthermore you are doing the work of an ai scraper for them. You are, personally, feeding the machine. There is no actual excuse for using an ai checker on fanfic as a hobby. YOU are the problem.

If you think a fic is ai, mute it and move on. That's it. That's all you do.

when you are bandying about colorized, smoothed, upscaled and retouched "historical photos", unless someone did it all by hand in Photoshop, those are AI-generated imagery. im not sure why so many people seem to think they are something else. they arent. they are generated using math and likelihoods and fiction like any other AI image. the computer is guessing about what should go under the repaired infill, it is guessing about what color the human hair and skin is, it is guessing about the types of metal in the jewelry, the color of the sky, the color of people's eyes. it is guessing about time of day. its fake pictures. fiction. and it looks ugly. i have been on my hobbyhorse about this for decades and i am only getting more pissed off. its bad when humans colorize historical photos and its bad when it's done by an AI. it's ugly, it inserts false information into historical documents, it fucks up forensics and historical research. and its ugly. i dont want to see it

spent forty-five minutes today helping an 87yo woman who does not own a computer or a cell phone try to set up an email account so that she could then set up a second account in order to access benefits. went with protonmail, because they don't require 2fa, but it turns out that while you can still make a protonmail account without authentication you can no longer use it to create OTHER accounts without it, and the benefits page she needed to get to required both an email and a cell phone to create an account anyway. asked if she wanted to try going in person to see if someone there could help her, and she said that she had, and they'd directed her to the website. she tried signing up with her landline, but of course that didn't work because you can't do SMS authentication that way. finally ended up writing up detailed instructions for how to log in and authenticate her account so she can drive to her severely disabled daughter's house forty minutes away because that's the only person she knows and trusts who has both a cell phone and a computer.

anyway i fucking hate mandatory 2fa and i think the people responsible for it should have to spend a year navigating their lives with no cell phone and no internet access beyond the public library pcs. fuck.

Scientists uncovered the nutrients bees were missing — Colonies surged 15-fold

Scientists have developed a breakthrough “superfood” for honeybees by engineering yeast to produce the essential nutrients normally found in

TLDR- Modern agriculture pollen is low in nutrients, and there aren’t enough wildflowers. Science has to develop vitamins to supplement the diets of agricultural bees. So plant some wildflowers for the wild bees near you.
