Email from the Mozilla Foundation: Choose Your Future Hello Michael, Across Mozilla, we are defiantly optimistic about the future of AI and the Internet. That’s because the future isn’t inevitable. It’s a choice. For better or worse, AI is no longer a side feature. It’s now the layer that mediates how we collectively search, communicate, create, and make sense of the world online. It’s woven into browsers, apps, and everyday tools.

Me, at the Vermont renaissance faire, ready to shoot an arrow from a bow. I'm wearing studded leather armor and have a wooden crossbow on a shoulder strap, resting at my hip. Jessy is next to me wearing a dark blue dress with a plant motif. She has an arrow nocked in her bow and is looking at my target.

A post from dynamicity-keysmash on tumblr: ‘Tis the season to unpack some stuff about Christmas from a minority perspective: Christmas is a Christian holiday. The fact that many celebrate it in an irreligious way (which is valid!) does not change its origins, connotations, symbolism, nor what it has historically meant for religious minorities. The idea that Christmas is “secular” (read: neutral) is a product of Christian hegemony and the blindness of many in Christian countries to the permeation of Christianity as “default” culture. When someone says they don’t celebrate Christmas since it’s a Christian holiday, it is not actually reassuring or helpful to say something along the lines of “oh well it’s just a secular day of family & presents for everyone! So you can celebrate it too!” Though the above statement is usually well-intentioned, it is often distressing to hear because it is untrue and is erasing our lived experiences. The reflexive effort to make Christmas universal is a cultural reverberation of the millennia-old evangelizing effort to make Christianity universal, and as such, can be very uncomfortable for religious minorities.
