To anyone who has experienced church hurt or religious trauma:
I am truly sorry.
I'm sorry for the times faith was used as a weapon instead of a source of hope. I'm sorry for the judgment, hypocrisy, manipulation, exclusion, or abuse that may have been done in the name of God. I'm sorry for the people who failed to reflect the love, compassion, and mercy they were called to show.
You deserved to be treated with dignity. You deserved to be listened to. You deserved safety, kindness, and care.
Your pain is real, and it should never be dismissed or minimized. No one should have to carry wounds caused by those who were supposed to help them encounter God's love.
Wherever you are on your journey—whether you've stayed, left, returned, or are still figuring things out—I pray you find healing, peace, and people who treat you with genuine compassion.
May the failures of human beings never convince you that you are unloved.
You are worthy of respect. You are worthy of healing. And your story matters. 💝✝️🇻🇦

Wild that folks keep saying beekeepers abuse bees as if bees are not both venomous flying animals and fully unionized
Hubris to think you COULD abuse bees
I think that if you see a balrog in an unlocked kitty kennel then you can assume that it wants to be there
Actually, beekeepers take many precautions to keep their bees from leaving.
many clip the wings of the queen, destroy new queen cells, cull queens they don't like and use bee pheromones to prevent a hive from naturally swarming or absconding. They also try and prevent mating with the African honey bee, which makes them less docile among other things. During artificial insemination of queens, drones are crushed and „spare“ queens are killed.
and commercial beekeepers even cull their hives during winter, or when they are not producing well.
Coupled with the fact that there is evidence that insects do feel pain, this is not great.
(Not to mention that honeybees are an invasive species in most places, competing with native pollinators and spreading disease)
It is so fucking bold of you to link the exact same paywalled book thirteen times in your reblog to throw people off the fact that you're using one source from 1859.
I don't think there's ever been a funnier vegan response in the history of this hell site. This is actual gold. If you cited an argument like this in a first year undergrad intro to bio module, then your lecturer would be legally entitled to fire you out of a cannon. I think I'm dying
As long as the beekeepers are taking proper care of the bees (feeding them, ensuring their safety and happiness) and only harvesting the excess honey (which helps the bees), there's nothing wrong with harvesting honey.
In fact, it's a pretty great deal for the bees. They get the space they need, food, protection from wild animals, and a caretaker who will tend to whatever needs and issues they have because if they don't, the bees will just leave. All for the price of excess honey they don't need and would take up the room they need in their hive.
Though I'm sure there are some beekeeper who don't take proper care of their bees like they should. It's a matter of education and oversight from an official department. Unfortunately, bees are not a protected species in the UK. However, there are bee charities.
The real issue comes into play with industrialised beekeeping. As is typical of a corporation that prioritises profit over the wellbeing of its livestock (and workers, but that's a different conversation), they keep them in inhumane conditions because profit is their number one priority.
The bees don't get enough space, are bred for productivity, artificially inseminated, their honey is overharvested, they are provided poor nutrition, the bees can be smoked incorrectly causing harm, hive culling, pesticides, and failure to spot or tend to parasites and diseases.
Text of tweet under the cut because it is loooong.
But... Stochastic Parrots.
This is an excellent read.
I just went looking for the post on X and got a message that it didn't exist
I searched for Guri Singh and got search results showing his account existed, but when I clicked on it I got a message his account did not exist Does anyone know if he made his account private or if he got nuked by Elon? Or do I just suck at X (because I never go there)?
Yup, the tweet is unavailable because the account has been suspended.
It doesn't look like Wayback Machine has a copy, either.
So I've found a few other references:
Paper: On the Dangers of Stochastic Parrots
Presentation of the paper to The Turing Institute
MIT Technology Review: We read the paper that forced Timnit Gebru out of Google. Here’s what it says.
The Guardian Interview: ‘There was all sorts of toxic behaviour’: Timnit Gebru on her sacking by Google, AI’s dangers and big tech’s biases
DAIR Institute
Incorrect ❌: "No parent can successfully manage their own kid's education in a teaching role unless they have a formal degree in childhood education."
Correct ✔️: "While many parents are not personally equipped to handle teaching their own child in a home schooling environment for a variety of reason (time, academic ability, disposition, learning disabilities, etc), -- and thus it is important that there are good state-funded education options for all families -- there are many parents who can adeptly teach their own children without a specialized education degree."
#there's so much really good curriculum both standardized and elsewise that's available for free or for very affordable prices too#like. the vast majority of homeschooling families are NOT entirely or even MOSTLY coming up with and writing their own curriculum#my mom is HIGHLY academic but she still bought basically all of our curriculum growing up. the only thing we built our own#was math because 1) she's math inclined and 2) I am very Not and wasn't getting it with the curriculum we were using in high school#anyway
No but this is so true. Most other homeschoolers I've met "in the wild" (e.g. not within my own community) were taught using a structured curriculum pre-designed by education experts. Families that rawdog it by inventing their own individual curriculum are kinda rare in the space, although there are those who do it well.
Co-ops are also becoming increasingly common, and many of these established curriculums offer online tutoring/classes a-la-carte for subjects a parent may feel is out of their depth. My mom was a STEM girlie so she found me someone else to help me with my writing skills when I got to high school. My husband excelled at math and so his mom had him enroll in dual-credit community college classes. It's also not uncommon for parents to enroll their kid in conventional public/private school once they are high-school age.
I thought I needed a new laptop but nope, youtube is slowing down your PC if you have adblock on on any open tab...
To be very clear about this: CPUs aren't magical devices that can operate forever. They generate heat. They wear out over time. This happens faster when they're operating near capacity. This is not just an attempt to inconvenience you; this is an attempt to damage your property.
For the "crime" of not wanting to be tracked/have ads pissed into your eyeballs 24/7.
Even if you've paid for the "privilege" of the latter.
Fuck Google, and I hope they get sued into oblivion over this.
i see everyone in the notes talking about newpipe but nobody's talking about youtube alternatives for desktop
IF YOU USE A DESKTOP PC OR LAPTOP, TRY INVIDIOUS
https://invidious.io/
it is a free, open-source alternative YouTube front-end. in addition to not having ads, it has other great QoL features like a download button. try one of the several instances on that link up there ^^^^
so i was super pissed and concerned about this but i have just discovered that while this is true, it is apparently only true for google chrome users. i just tested this by having ten tabs open in firefox playing ten different youtube videos at the same time and my cpu usage spiked to 25% as the videos were loading and then dropped back down to 10% as they played.
if you ever needed another reason to switch to a different browser, this is it.

We just knew.
As a reminder, this is what she looks like:
Also I hope everyone knows that Miette was fostered before she was adopted, and her foster mom loved that little kitten so much and always hoped she’d gone to a good home. this tweet got so popular that she recognized Miette and reached out to her current mom, and was able to share previously unseen baby pictures
You mean, she saw Miette was kicked like the football and did nothing to help put Mother in jail for a thousand years? I am appalled.
her!!!
Baby Miette!!!
Babe wake up new Miette lore just dropped
IT’S MIETTE!!!!
Joy and whimsy detected! Miette is joyful and whimsical!
y’all go listen to Disco Snails NOW
A goth and her ghost boyyy
Close ups! <3
Poor thing, she's dying from cringe 😔
I can't leave comments because of some network error
