As an Indigenous person, it continues to astound me that there are such strict laws (written by White people) in our name, laws against...picking up things just found on the ground. Like, stop pretending this is "for" us. We don't want this.

so, for clarity, that's not what this is. the law against possessing feathers is an anti-poaching measure, derived from a North American treaty protecting certain migratory bird species from hunting. that treaty has an exemption for indigenous people to allow tribes that use eagle feathers in ceremonial or religious practices to continue doing so.

sometimes the best way to get yourself out of a weird existential crisis is to ask "what does this change about the way I experience reality right now" bcs if the answer is "nothing" you don't gotta worry about it

this post brought to you by me pissing off my philosopher brother by answering all of his "but what if we do live in a simulation??" prompts with "what would that meaningfully change about how I experience reality?" and the "well what if they turn the PC off?" okay what if you die right now in some freak accident??? if you wanna scare yourself with weird existential what-ifs be my guest but I don't see a point about worrying if the theory again, changes nothing at all meaningful about how we expirience reality!

(goverment voice) we need to protect the children from pornography so our plan is to remove their eyes so they would never see something so traumatic. if you are against removing children's eyes you are basically a pedophile

Having someone ask ChatGPT in a meeting is like being a grown-ass professional adult in a room full of other grown-ass professional adults trying to solve a problem, while a colleague with one of those baby toys that makes animal sounds repeatedly presses the cow button. And we all have to stop what we're doing and listen to cow go moo and say "wow hm yeah that's not really what we're asking but the cow does definitely go moo, good thoughts"

Except increasingly the cow is being treated as a respected contributor to meetings as we pivot to a moo-centric business model that principally produces bullshit
