wishing the (probably small child) who lives above me and is running laps around the apartment at nearly 10 pm a very lovely evening

A cozy day like the one I'm having now reminds me of them 🥰🥰

A good rule of thumb for AI is "would you trust a trained pigeon to do this?"

"We trained a pigeon to recognise cancerous cell clusters and somehow they're really good at it" okay great, that's something that could plausibly be a thing.

"We trained a pigeon to recognise good CV:s and left it in charge of sorting through all our job applications" uh perhaps consider not doing that.

Rice is the core of Filipino meals, the steady, supportive background to all food. All other dishes are meant to be eaten with it, its mildness shaping the food, and allowing the Filipino to eat salty, sour, sweet, and even bitter food because all are eased by the benevolence of rice. It completes the meal, because without rice the act is not a meal but a snack, a pantawid gutom, a mere bridging of hungers.

Doreen Fernandez, from "A World of Rice in 17th-Century Philippines" in Tikim: Essays on Philippine Food and Culture (1994)

why bother caring about the environment when 1. It’s so obviously a lost cause and 2. There’s definitely going to be a nuclear war?

And what are you doing about it Anon? Learn about ecological restoration or get out of my way.

I am disheartened by the way westerners talk about Iran. Even some of the pro Palestinian ones. Many talk about Iran as a force of resistance against the west being “under attack” by Israel. Which is true but more importantly, hundreds of innocent civilians were slaughtered by Israel (and the US by proxy). My grief is as it’s always been indescribable.

Hello everyone, I am making another one of these posts in case anyone would like to buy a print from me, or subscribe to my patreon, or just send in a tip. My whole life has recently been thrown in a loop. The kind of situation where it's like. "it only takes one medical emergency."

I spent my birthday at the hospital. Some of the darkest days of my life. Ti-rads 4 giant goiter that needed to be removed, awake intubation. Blessedly, my biopsy was benign, and I don't remember anything from the surgery. anesthesiologists said my airways almost collapsed. In some medical debt. But I am so happy I am alive. On a battalion of meds. I only just now started being able to move around as normal. I need all the help I can get from community. I had no income the two months I was sick. My mother is unable to move independently. My father has kidney failure, and my sister is pretty much my kid. She is autistic with a very low frustration threshold. I am the only person in my family who works, and I have three jobs, but all of which are unstable. I need to take thyroid h*rm*ne replacement for the rest of my life as maintenance medicine; as all of the funds I received from my gofundme was poured into surgeon fees. I'm penniless with a calcium deficiency, legit nothing to eat with a family of four to take care of ): please help me recover, help me buy calcium supplements and my thyroid maintenance medicine as I am essentially someone with hypothyroidism, and meds to treat my diabetes (sitaglipin and metformin). I only have around 6 days left of medicine before I run out. I am so grateful to still be alive, and I owe it all to you guys, and I am hoping everyone can still be generous to help me rebuild what is my new life as someone disabled with no support system irl. Thank you so so much.

I have around *412*!! Exclusive drawings on patreon, it's only a dollar a month.

I have plenty of goodies on my inprnt as well, it's 10% off rn

Inprnt takes 15 days to process payment and 15 days to release money, and I get paid by patreon at the end of the month. If you'd like to directly send me tips, If you've ever liked my thoughts, book recs or art, everything you send here either goes to my teet repair which is now emptied because of my thyroid surgery, or my maintenance meds. Thank you so so much;

Direct tipping jar:

summer is the worst time of year and I do not want to do things in hot humid air. may I please have some cooler air? I can’t find a label on me that says “store in a cool, dry place” but I’m sure it’s there somewhere.

It is not enough to get into a comfy sleeping position- one must go through several and spin like a rotisserie chicken to arrive at the position you started with.
