@jcrabapple holy hell this painting! Erik Thor Sandberg is on my radar now (Childers already was)

#UF is rolling out mandatory return to work with all remote employees via an email mid-day yesterday. No heads up to department leadership, who are now freaking out and have no answers to employees. UF spokesperson has "no answer" about faculty teaching remote classes.

There is no parking. There are no more offices. There is no space for people. Thousands of out-of-state and fully-remote teams hired *before* the pandemic have no plan.

UF revokes hybrid, remote work arrangements for employees

The University of Florida rescinded its hybrid work agreement for all UF employees in an email Thursday morning.

Unmentioned - but I'll add it here - I had a 4-day slip of some of my #smallwebjuly goals. But I recovered and I am here! Perfection ain't the goal

intergenerational friendship magic!

A colleague from my last job and city visited me in Baltimore last week and we met at Glenstone Museum, a privately-owned contemporary art museum in Potomac....

@vae do what you'll actually use! maybe make an index in the front so you can find things? I'm struggling with this myself, I just finished the Artist's Way after 18 months and I'm just going to put my recap notes in my daily journal

"GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references.

Enter this: a repository of open-access, AI-free images of wild & exotic taxa. Artists creating *without AI* have blanket permission for derivative/transformative use"

(shared from bsky, seems like they should have a presence here but I don't seem them)

I have archives and archives of graveyards I need to upload - mostly family plots and churchyards but I love a rural cemetery too. #cemetery #graves #grave #headstone #history #baltimore

thanks clippy, i hate manmade horrors within my comprehension
@MostlyHarmless No, I don't think it is. There's no way the majority of people will support fascism. It's just a phase we're going through.

@Scienceisnotopinions @MostlyHarmless

I think the meaning is that the old order of things is dying under all the new changes that have come about and the 'monsters' are the megalomaniac billionaires and the fascists. And other things. So many other things. God, I didn't want to think about it before bed.

@Madagascar_Sky @MostlyHarmless The fascists have always been here, and the more I think about the bad times in my life and the cause... I blame them!
