I think heat pumps are a far more important technology than AI.

Yep. You heard me.

Study Finds That Execs Are Outsourcing Their Thinking to AI The same class of business executives who heaped AI onto us by the shovelfull aren't immune to its effects.

Outsourcing their what now?

Every day.

It's one big plus of mutual-aid work. It's distracting; I don't have time to wallow in fear and existential dread; and I get to hit back at the causes by making sure someone else makes it, at least one more day.

In my experience, the white folks who don't talk about politics are either conservatives or liberals who want to remain friends with conservatives. Lot of my fellow white liberals are not as progressive as they'd like to think. It's a big reason they stay quiet about their racist friends and family.

"Democrats should be taking heed of frontline organizers and activists who have long contested the everyday and extraordinary violence of immigration enforcement. … [T]here is no stopping the violence of ICE without a radical transformation of the U.S. approach to immigration."

SAMA IS COVERED!!!

THANK YOU, EVERYONE!!! ❤️

IKR?

❤️

Wanna help some locals make ends meet?

Thank you for this! ❤️

Once again - show me proof that you've helped these folks - or fuck, anyone! It's a cold world! - by at least $20 and I will create a ttrpg adventure, a short story, edit your novella, make you digital line form art. For $100, I will make you a piece of physical 8x10 wall art and ship it

Also, with Sama and Heather?

If you donate, let me know so we can track progress.

As I understand it, anyone can pay the water bill for her online, and I have the link, identifying info, account #, total, etc. The amount due is $140.64.

If you can help, DM me or e-mail me, and I'll get you the necessary info.

And third is a difficult one. I've got a local young single mama of little ones, fighting DV, and so needs to be anonymous.

Her water bill is past due [she needs kids' items, too, but she'll get me that info later].

Second is Heather, whose local "helper" business is suffering in this economy and who just had to make $2,500 in repairs to her car. She's trying everything to pick up new gigs, but I know she could use a hand and a little breathing room *now*. Again, Venmo only: Heather-Cleary-26

First is Sama. She's disabled, just had her work hours cut to 19 a week, and her heater went out, necessitating expensive space heater usage in that cold snap. She's still about $150 short. Venmo only: account.venmo.com/u/saturynn.

Okay, tonight's local urgent needs.

Eric is covered! Thank you to the kind friend who makde that happen.

But we still have some others that aren't.

Thank you; I'll tell him you said so!

FWIW, I agree with you. They're so lightweight, but so dangly, and they just shine.

They are so pretty!

Would love to see who in the White House may have purchased oil futures last week.

Honestly this feels like a young kid in marketing snuck one past his elder gen-x bosses, and good for them, because they ain't wrong

"Hi. My name is [your name]. I am calling on Gov. Ivey to grant mercy to Sonny Burton who is set to be executed on March 12, 2026. Not only does the State of Alabama admit that he was not the killer and received a grossly disproportionate sentence compared to the actual killer, but Sonny's health is deteriorating rapidly. Crippling Rheumatoid Arthritis leaves him reliant on a wheelchair and a high fall risk. He even wears a helmet to protect his head during falls. Killing Sonny will not serve the people of Alabama. Please commute his sentence."

Please take a moment, please, to call Gov. Ivey at 334-242-7100 with the following message provided by Death Penalty Action

Alabama set to execute man who did not kill anyone Unless Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey intervenes, Charles “Sonny” Burton, 75, will be executed Thursday. He is among thousands in America convicted under a controversial felony murder law.

Sonny Burton is set to be executed by the state of Alabama on Thursday. There is a direct line between a government that murders its own citizens and the devaluing of life abroad. The sin has always started at home.

Okay, tonight's inventory selection.

Just one, but one that I think is especially apt for today's featured work. That feature is a pair of hummingbird earrings [shown below] set with gorgeous Skystones.

We also have a cuff in the form and shape of another migratory spirit.
