It's clear why the tech bro's were pushing AI so hard: The last thing they want is the writers.

I'm off here for the rest of the day, y'all.aybe the rest of the week, if mental and emotional health so require.

In the meantime, share your pain to lessen it.

Mourn as needed. Rage as needed. Grieve as needed.

Then continue mourning and grieving -- and, as soon as you're able, leap into the work of channeling the rage into non-compliance and active participation in the fight.

We are not done.

We will not submit.

We are alive, and we don't agree.

every tech worker out there whose "i donate to democrats" CEO is taking off his mask today to muhaha and show his true class solidarity: the thing that would ruin his life the most is for you to help unionize your workplace. do it for the very real benefits to you and your comrades, or do it out of spite, or any combination of either. but it's time, now (overdue, in fact!). tech must become the next major labor battleground. & for those who've already been in the struggle for years: thank you.

Where to Buy Books Other than Amazon

A few years back I had a habit of every six months or so doing a thread on Fedi about options for getting books other than Amazon. Eventually it finally occurred to me that I could write it once, put it up on website, and update as needed, rather than constantly reinventing the wheel.

Where to Buy Books Other than Amazon – Gryphon's Aerie

Yesterday, today, and tomorrow there are only three things you need to do. They have not changed and will never change.

1. Enjoy life.

2. Be someone you would love.

3. Make things better.

Every act, every word, every breath that is not one or more of these things is wasted. And there is not a single day in which you are not capable of all three.

Hope is punk as fuck.

Been a while since I actually logged into Mastodon. But ...

I'm still processing the news about the election. Part of me doesn't want to believe that it's Definite yet - wants to hope that the AP jumped the gun and got it wrong, that the absentee ballots are going to turn this back on its head.

I can't rely on that, but I'm keeping hope in my back pocket - for whatever I need it for.

For those of you in places of safety, with power or privilege: Do what you can to help those who need it.

I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."

If our so-called leaders aren’t going to help us, we’re just gonna have to help each other.
