Josie (6 years old), Bertha (6 years old) and Sophie (10 years old) worked regularly at the Maggioni Canning Company. Work began at 4 AM and the three would make from $9 to $15 a week. Sophie would do six pots of oyster a day and her mother who also worked with her said "She don't go to school. Works all the time."
Through such photos, Lewis Hine documented the harsh working conditions borne by thousands of children, who were sent to work soon after they could walk, and were paid based on how many buckets of oysters they shucked daily.
He covered around 50,000 miles a year, photographing children from Chicago to Florida working in coal mines and factories.
These photos helped to raise an outcry against child labor and made the American public become widely aware of the scope of the problem. This resulted in the establishment of organizations such as the National Child Labor Committee, in 1904, which led the fight against child labor.
if you have time to spare, take ten minutes to read this article because it lays out pretty clearly all the yelling about #UFO's i have been doing for the last decade.
tl;dr, three basic points:
1. we don't know what they are.
2. what they are could be beyond our comprehension.
3. Minotaurs are an underappreciated cryptid and should be treated with respect.

here is the news (doo dah doot dee doot)
apparently i am a work in progress.
and apparently the progress loops in on itself at some points, and then dips terrifyingly downward, revealing lower levels of decay and anxiety hastily papered over by other versions of me who are no longer around to be held responsible.
but that all sounds okay, right? it's normal. everybody's got issues. we can't all be struggling all day every day to contemplate the world of horror we live in while fighting our own troubled minds, locked in eternal battle with our inner selves. surely other people are handling it all perfectly well, right?
anybody?

People in security and computing have been saying for years - there's no cloud. There's just someone else's computer.
Right now, there's no AI. There's just someone else's work.
Stop calling generative text and image programs AI. It's inaccurate and insulting. They are just the evolution of corporate creative theft that's been going on as long as media corporations have existed.

i have had precious little to express lately, and what little there has been should probably be filtered through a team of experts with long barbecue tongs and hazmat suits before reaching anyone's sense receptacles
have badly wanted to reboot my brain. taking a mental health day on monday, time for myself and by myself, hopefully to gather sources for the Nuclear Occult. someday it might actually be a real thing that i got done.
everything.
is under
control.

I just saw someone refer to Elon Musk as a Nazi enabler.
Let me remind everyone that there is no such thing. If you are giving aid or space to Nazis, you are a Nazi.
This is a simple binary and there is no grey in-between.

The EARN IT Act will lead to online censorship of any and all adult & lgbt content across the entire internet, open the floodgates to mass surveillance the likes which we haven’t seen before, lead to much more CSEM being distributed online, and destroy encryption. Call 202-224-3121 to connect to your house and senate representative and tell them to VOTE NO on this bill that does not protect anyone and harms everyone.
