Happy Pride Month to those two women dancing together in the foreground of the boat scene in Godzilla (1954).

This is Dr. Sarah Stein Lubrano, and though I couldn't find the video that makes up this post, you can read/hear more from her here at her website:

As a society we have benefited so much from successful public health measures that we now have the privilege of declaring that we must not need them anymore

I work in a library maker space - so the public comes in with their projects and we help them use our tools and machines (printers, cricuts, sublimation, sewing machines, laser engraver, ect) to turn their projects into reality. Now realistically we're not sitting down with them like a designer and creating something for hours for them, our job is to get them started, teach them the equipment and let them loose/jump in when they need help. Most people usually pick it up just fine, sometimes we run into an issue with a file that's too small - like a postage stamp size jpg that they want to turn into a poster. Usually explaining to them why it won't work goes pretty well. Enter Chat-motherfucking-GPT I've now had library patrons come in with the most hot fucking garbage files, I mean like literally unusable crunchy jpg, generated .stl files that turn to spaghetti every time. And when you tell these people "Hey did you AI generate this?" They get weirdly defensive. Don't get me wrong some people take it well and realize chat gpt/ai aren't worth using. Some people however - start gushing about how "Oh but its so good, its such a time saver! I could never make something like this." And yeah maybe that's true, maybe its not - but you didn't even try. Now I'm stuck remaking it for about four times as long as it would have originally taken - and it still looks eh-to-shit at best. Other people get pissed because "Don't you know I'm a mom, I don't have time for this I'm busy!" and again - yeah I get it - but now you fed your idea (along with the image of your kids faces) to a machine with no accountability, that steals my fucking art, and you want me to fix what the "time saver" fucked up.

I could NOT be in feudal Japan. Here are some reasons why
