Big inflatable dragons, what more could a wolf want?

FWA photoshoots went well, so I'm gonna try my hand at taking a couple more at AC. Prices starting at $150/hr. I'll be your camera for the time and we can go wherever you want.
Examples of past shoots can be found on my furtrack. https://www.furtrack.com/user/Kurrikage/album-3898
These can go any way you want them to go. We can move from location to location taking solos, I can follow you around the con floor and take photos with people you want pics with, or any combination you see fit.
The best way to guarantee photos at a con is to pay for them!
I may be open to taking some locally (Seattle) as well if we can find a time and place that works.

Oh, that reminds me, I need to print out my social signifiers for ConFuzzled this weekend! https://confuzzled.org.uk/social/ (Seems a pretty good idea to advertise what kind of interactions you want and should be normalised at more cons.)
When you encounter folks who believe #fossilfuels cannot be replaced, #Portugal is proving what is possible.
Despite what the #petrogarchy would have us believe, #CleanEnergy is not only cost effective but has the potential to provide electricity cheaper than dirty alternatives

I’m so glad public libraries already exist. Could you I magine trying to sell the idea of libraries to politicians in 2024?
“You want to build a large public complex on prime real estate that gives away free books & education & community events—paid for by our tax dollars? Are you crazy??”
This sounds like a special kind of hell. :|

you can see this in action because Repack Installers and Keygens have awesome music and the EA App doesn't . so they have a better service
Look, USians, I don't want to step into your internal politics, but you see, 45 years ago, we spaniards had the occurrence to write in our constitution that the head of state (the king) has immunity from prosecution for anything they do while they are in the job, and now we have an ex-king with a Wikipedia page that includes a "alleged corruption" section 55 paragraphs long.
And it's only "alleged" because he can't be taken to court even with the piles of evidence that exist.
Just saying.

Mrs Wainwright, secondary school Geography teacher used to always say "The answer is in the question".
40 years later I see things like this, and can hear Mrs Wainwright's voice clear as day.
"Surprisingly, our results show that women's contributions tend to be accepted more often than men's. However, when a woman's gender is identifiable, they are rejected more often. Our results suggest that although women on GitHub may be more competent overall, bias against them exists nonetheless."

Are you an introvert?
Terrific explainer by https://introverteed.com/blogs/news/an-introduction-to-the-introvert-social-battery #comic #art
People think that introverts are incapable of basic human interaction and emotion, like we are social recluses because we seemingly don't like to talk and hate everyone.Vincent Radford (introverteed)
Talked to a very smart person this afternoon who reminded me: climate fatalism ("it's too late") is a soft form of denialism.
Everything we do from here is worthwhile. It counts, it makes a difference. No matter what damage has been done, we can still make things better than if we had done nothing. We can still look after the world, look after our friends and family. Action has results.
Deciding it’s too late to do anything about #ClimateBreakdown, you are giving yourself permission to do nothing about the situation…hence denialism.
But how does it make you feel driving a diesel car everyday, sat in traffic, wearing your disposable fast fashion, heating your home with fossil fuels, buying plastic crap that will soon be in landfill.
If you believe in climate change, you feel personal guilt. Better mentally to do something and persuade others.
50 billionaire families have already spent $600 million on the 2024 elections.
More than half—$416 million—went to Republicans or conservative groups that want to extend Trump's tax cuts for the rich.
Could there be a clearer example of how big money corrupts our democracy?
The 'godfather of AI' says the government will have to establish UBI to deal with the impact of AI on inequality.
"I was consulted by people in Downing Street and I advised them that universal basic income was a good idea."
—Geoffrey Hinton
He thinks that AI will increase productivity and wealth, but that the money will go to the rich and not the people whose jobs get lost and that’s "going to be very bad for society."

if you hate google's shitty ai web search changes and you've been wanting to try a new search engine out... how about all of them at once???
#searxng is a free internet metasearch engine which aggregates results from 70+ search services, and you can run it yourself! there are a TON of instances and it's engineered to respect your privacy and hide your search history!
you can use an instance listed at https://searx.space or use one that i run, https://search.birdcat.cafe ! i have been using it for months now and i don't see myself going back to other search engines :3
#search #google #duckduckgo #bing #searx
What has your experience been thus far? I definitely wanna avoid search engines that have AI at the helm.
However, since Searx looks at many of the search engines to form it's own results... how will a Searx instance perform since the large search engines are already favoring pages/sites that have LLM generated content?
I don't mean to be combative in this questioning. I just wonder how fucked the Internet (at large) is just from the prioritization of LLM generated website/website content in search results.
