This is Tennessee

The same Tennessee that expelled two black lawmakers from the house for protesting gun violence last year

The same Tennessee where it is safe to march on the capitol with a Nazi flag held high.

I genuinely think that a student used ChatGPT for a poem they turned in. I have absolutely no way to prove it.

Well, I could go to them and ask them to write a version of it in my presence. Sigh. Do I care so much to risk insulting my student like that. My suspicions arose when they could not pronounce one of the words they used while reading it aloud in class.

ergifruit,
@ergifruit@mas.to avatar

@rjblaskiewicz i dunno; i wasn't able to pronounce a lot of words i would use as a kid. if they've only seen it written and not heard it, it can be kinda difficult to pronounce some words. ('superfluous' is a good example, and i still cringe over mispronouncing it in public to this day.)

@actuallyautistic anyone else do this? i have trouble identifying my own emotions and pain, like where the pain is (one space or joint vs limb or whole body pain) or what enotion specifically i'm feeling besides positive/negative (and sometimes not even that). but when i smoke cannabis, i have a far easier time pinpointing this kinda stuff. none of my autistic friends smoke, so i can't really ask them 😅

@Susan60 @actuallyautistic yeah, i had that epiphany over the past couple years, too. i have to get into specifics for surgical procedures, so they can tell exactly which vertebra they need to mess with. it's very much a skill that allistics have and the rest of us have to intentionally learn. :/

X (formerly Twitter) is reportedly worth a pathetic $19 billion, as stated by Elon Musk. Pathetic because remember, he acquired the service for $44 billion just last year. This implies that, according to his declared valuation, it has experienced a -55% decrease in worth within a year

However, I personally hold a different viewpoint on X's value. In my opinion, Elon Musk may have previously overstated its worth, and it seems he may be doing so again. It's worth noting that advertisers, much like Superman's aversion to Kryptonite, seem to be avoiding X: if a brand gets too close to X, it might kill them.

Speaking of high-profile acquisitions, do you remember when Microsoft attempted to purchase Yahoo for approximately $44 billion? It makes one wonder whether X will meet a similar fate and become the next Yahoo.

Today's read, ft. my favorite candle and Mr. Beanus-Weenus taking a bath. It's honestly pretty good, and doesn't sell short the Native American and African American influences on our folk medicine, or romanticize it, and gives a nice overview of the socioeconomic reasons many turned, and still turn, to folk medicine. Also, my Beans is so handsome 🤩

I saved my boss from boarding a hijacked flight on 9/11. You won't believe what he did next

Post See new posts Conversation Bill Ellmore 𝕏 @BillEllmore · Sep 11 I was booked on United Flight 93 on 9/11, 2001, flying nonstop from Newark NJ to San Francisco CA. Around midnight the night before, a coworker called me urging me to change my flight to fly into San Jose instead. This meant I had to give up my 1st class seat and move to a flight… Show more Bill Ellmore 𝕏 @BillEllmore The reason my coworker told me to change my flight was she took the same flight on 9/10 and the commute from San Francisco to Mountain View would make me late for my meeting whereas traveling from San Jose to Mountain View would be faster in the morning. 11:42 AM · Sep 11, 2023 · 921.5K Views Mark (Elsa's Dad) Davis, Man of Leisure @MarkDavis8919 · Sep 11 she saved your life with advice, which you followed. what ever happened to your coworker?

Why is raw honey so much better than store honey? What's in it that isn't in the store honey? Bee spit? pollen? Is the pasteurization that ruins the flavor?

Whatever it is, honeycomb is even better, even though you have to eat a bit of wax with the honey, it's so much for floral and bursting with sunlight and summer wildflowers.

It's probably the extra bee spit and bee dandruff isn't it?

ergifruit,
@ergifruit@mas.to avatar

@futurebird idk, but the stuff from the bears isn't real honey, right? it also depends on where the bees collect pollen. the local kind i get is almost less sweet and more bright on the palate than the real honey from a large brand. and i gotta agree that honeycomb is best. it's the most hedonistic food i can think of lol.

This Daily Beast piece on DeSantis' security team tripping over themselves to keep a 15-year-old kid from asking difficult questions is pure gold. Getting big time Dead Zone vibes after reading this story, and this kid is my new hero.

His question should be the first that anyone asks every GOP candidate on the campaign trail for the next 14 months:

“Do you believe that Trump violated the peaceful transfer of power,” the teenager asked the governor, “a key principle of American democracy that we must uphold?”

Both Parents Agree: The Child Is Being Harmed. Which One Will the Court Believe?

A child said he was being sexually and physically abused by his father.

The father alleged the mother was brainwashing the child against him.

One reporter dug into years of case files to understand how courts decided to interpret the facts.

(CW: Contains detailed allegations of physical & sexual abuse of a child and descriptions of injuries that may have been caused by child abuse.)

"The agency did not investigate, stating it did not meet the legal standard for abuse or neglect." Tale as old as time. These people couldn't give less of a fuck about kids; they never do. They just get mad that you had the audacity to bother them.

This has mostly been reported as "trans women banned from women's chess" but it's much more sinister. (as if it weren't already.)

ALL trans people are targeted by this ruling. Trans men will be stripped of all chess titles won, which can only be returned to them by “changing the gender back to a woman” (from the ICF’s ruling). ALL transgender chess players will be marked as trans in their files.

If you play or know anyone who does take a stand on this. It's ugly.

incels have a similar relationship to sex as rapists do— as in, it's only tangentially related to sex, and what they really want is power and violence. power over a woman (or child, if we're being honest about them,) and whatever future men she may or may not have sex with. to them, women are just objects to perform their philosophy upon and exist to be the subject of violence, while men and the toxic relationships between them are at the core. it's not about sex at all imo.

@Radical_EgoCom anyone that's had any kind of weapon training, lethal or not, knows that you never point it at anything you don't intend to kill. don't matter if it's a toy gun, much less something to shoot tear gas at a baby.

@milkteawitch @actuallyautistic definitely parallel play, but also not having to fake eye contact, being able to stim without it being "disruptive", being able to freely share interests— infodumping can be part of that, but not always. being able to use accomodations (ex: typing or signing while nonverbal,) that you can't with NT people. being able to have human contact AND unmask.
