@tzimmer_history America valorizes "rebels" as long as the rebels are long ago and far away, or they are white and conservative and actually trying to reestablish the Confederacy. People who march peacefully to keep their rights or to win equal rights get branded terrorists and looters and members of a sinister conspiracy to destroy America.

I had a disturbing encounter in a #Toronto retail store yesterday. A masked sales associate approached me with friendly greeting & then dissolved into tears.

Me: Are you OK?
SA: Just tears of relief; I approached you because you were wearing a #mask, so I knew you wouldn't say anything nasty to me about wearing mine. I can't afford to get #Covid, I just finished my cancer treatment.

Everyday she receives jaw-dropping, stomach-turning anti-mask comments. 🥺​

Please understand something: if a Disabled person has to ask someone else for access to something – an elevator; a written transcript; an environment that accommodates their disabilities – that thing is not accessible.
Remember to take your meds and that you are valid, loved, and here for a reason. ❤️ Goodnight on January 18, 2023 at 10:45PM! (Automatic)

“Everything Happens to Me” would be the opening credits song for a biopic about my life. Billy Holiday’s version, voice heavy with resignation.

I’m exhausted, overwhelmed, and feeling sorry for myself. It was bound to happen. My sleep hygiene is crap. Several “BIG THINGS” came unstuck and there’s shit to deal with. The lack of practical support is catching up to me. This crappy chassis is no help.

I think the saddest thing about the current AI art ethic debate is how much people devalue *Art* and conflate it with simple image making.

The medium of a lot of art is image based but the image itself does not art make. Art is when there’s intent, the execution then in a visual language, machines do not have intent nor artistic decisions.

It’s like grammatically correct word salads. But then again AI does make those and many can’t tell the difference there either.
