If you say "sorry I don't make the rules" after something you probably made the rules. Sorry I don't make the rules.

This is your reminder that a year ago, water protectors at Standing Rock were being shot at with water cannons, LRADs, attacked by police dogs, and so much more

This is your reminder that Indigenous resistance to settler colonialism is ongoing.

PSA if you're looking for something to do besides shop on black friday go to your local library and entertain your friendly local librarians

we're gonna be bored

Hey everyone! I'm still learning how to use Mastodon, so thanks for your patience! This is Moon Gazers, my newest piece inspired by the recent discovery that jumping spiders can see the craters on the moon. https://mastodon.art/media/8-bRqPpi4jM5rm0XJOI

Ancestor Series: Collaborations
Homo ergaster:
Ergaster lived between 1.4 and 1.9 million years ago. Ergaster used a more complex toolset than H. habilis and may have been the first hominin to harness fire.

Homo sapiens:
This particular fossil was found in Brazil and likely belonged to a young woman who lived 11,500 years ago. Scientists have named her Luzia, a reference to the famous Lucy find. The discovery led to a more nuanced understanding of diversity in Paleoamericans.

Homo neanderthalensis:
This skull was found in a quarry in 1848, before the “official” discovery of Neanderthals. Since no one knew what it was, the skull was placed in a cupboard and forgotten about for years.

These specific individuals would never have interacted. The figures are instead placed in a larger context, the influence of their species and individual fossil finds radiating out across thousands of years as part of a larger conversation. This piece depicts the complex interaction of knowledge, culture, social structures, genetic material, and tools: a conversation that we continue to this day.

I’m not sure if this site is for #cats or art now. Ok, cats.

Rebrand Thanksgiving as a generic harvest holiday dedicated to spending time with family and friends devoid of any and all colonialist bullshit tbh

Move, please

net neutrality will never truly be possible while network infrastructure can be privately owned and corporations like facebook and google broker many people's entire internet experience. we need to socialize the internet.

when you think about it, establishing a socialist state without turning into the authoritarian capitalists you hate is the dark souls of ethics

the issue isn't that AI are inexplicable, but that corpers have chosen to trust inexplicable tooling as a means of disenfranchising workers. consider how facebook used its moderation teams solely to train its moderator AI, and then phased out the humans. facebook cannot pretend "it's just the algorithm" absolves them of responsibility when that algorithm turns out to be racist as fuck. they built it. they trained it. they are responsible.

legislators wants "explainable" AI so that they can hold someone to account but uhhh

when a statistician makes a call based on the tools they used, you hold the statistician to account. if the statistician cannot hold their tools to account, they need better tools. they do not get a pass because "it's just what the data shows" because they made the conscious choice to trust their tools' interpretation of the data.

excuse me, "machine learning"

i can't stand researchers creating these automated diviners -- identifying sexuality, transness, legal identity, from training sets copped and bought without consent -- and then washing their hands when people call them out for facilitating a panopticon. "look, it's just what the data shows" doesn't absolve you of creating lists only useful to those who wish us harm.

"I wonder why I don't remember dreams anymore."
"Trial period's over."
"What?"
"Only sleep is free. Dreams are premium."
