I did for a little bit and it was really bad for my brain so I’m just back to instagram reels and an app timer

I'm not even abstaining out of snobbery like I simply know that TikTok would ruin my life. that would be a wrap on "my brain." I recognized this immediately and never touched the stuff

As a millennial I'm convinced that if I watch a single tiktok I will instantly crumble into a fine dust

After a lot of starts and stops with physical mediums, I’ve just really hit the ground running with digital art lately so I’m gonna start sharing some pieces here! It’s mostly just been a lot of fun to figure stuff out and get better as I go!

“Kissing Lessons” digital oils, thick palette knife🖌️🗡️
Digital oil painting, red headed woman kissing a brunette, both in profile in a blue background. Painted with a chunky palette knife brush and minimal blending.

graphical abstract of the manuscript depicting pink estrogen-sensitive neurons with a subset of their nuclei colored in green. These green nuclei represent estrogen receptor dependent neural gene transcription, tracked via the expression of a destabilized GFP with a 2 hour half-life. At top, in green is shown a cartoon of the neural response to estrogen across two estrous cycles, and below there is a cartoon of a mouse implanted with an optic fiber for in vivo imaging.

Meta now lets anyone use your Instagram photos in AI images without your consent. SAG-AFTRA recommends that #SagAftraMembers (and all Instagram users) opt-OUT of Meta’s new AI image generation tool, Muse Image. Take action to protect your likeness.
If you want to avoid AI generations of your Instagram posts without switching your account to private, you’ll have to dig into the app’s settings. Open the Instagram app, tap your profile, and then tap the three lines in the top-right corner of the screen. Then, scroll down to the Sharing and reuse tab. Here is where you should see a section labeled Allow people to use your content on Instagram and with AI features on Meta, with a toggle for Posts and one for Reels.

I’m now on ward leadership in Philly, and it didn’t matter how I tried to change anything, the party tried to squash me and our movement. They only started considering changing after we won
jaimeharrison.bsky.social Jaime Harrison @jaimeharrison.bsky.social · Jun 23
I say this with no ill will or animosity: if you hate the Democratic Party, then please don’t run for our nomination.

Don’t use our resources. Don’t rely on our volunteers. Don’t use our infrastructure. Don’t ask Democrats to invest their time, money, and energy in your campaign.

a meme tweeted by Emma Mont on June 13 2025. it says "do the right thing brad, endorse Zohran and you will be reincarnated as a NY-10 congressman." today, Emma quote-tweeted her old post and said in all caps, "you did it brad, you will be reincarnated as NY-10 congressman"

One community I have not been able to recreate here on Bluesky from the old place is a good Philadelphia political gossip network. On nights like tonight (the newly elected committee people-be they new or incumbents-voted on their ward leader and board tonight) I miss that
