Aaron Bushnell set himself on fire outside an Israeli embassy. It is our loss he is no longer with us. Content Warning.
The horror of it is beyond my capacity to describe. On Sunday afternoon, a US air force airman named Aaron Bushnell doused himself in gasoline outside the Israeli embassy in Washington DC and lit himself on fire. His phone was propped on the ground nearby, livestreaming to Twitch. “I will no longer be complicit in genocide,” Bushnell said. “I am about to engage in an extreme act of protest. But compared to what people have been experiencing in Palestine at the hands of their colonizers, it’s not extreme at all. This is what our ruling class has decided will be normal.” Then he set fire to his body and screamed, “Free Palestine.” Bushnell died at a nearby hospital some nine hours later. He was 25.

Why, Oh Why, I Hunt AI!. Top Story - March 2024.
There have been some excellent articles and comments recently around AI-created content (which I understand) and bots/scripts (of which I am learning). It is a good reminder for me that just because we publish something doesn't mean that everyone/anyone has seen it, much less remembered it.

The Top 10 Most Un-Christian Things Christians Do. Content Warning.
It's time to offend some people. I say this with amusement and admittedly, a little spicey hint of GLEE. Because I'll be honest- as a Christian and God-loving southern woman surrounded by "Christians" in East Tennessee- my favorite hobby is ripping new holes and perspectives into people who do not meet MY standards of what a "good" Christian is.

Tinder Chronicles Episode 1
Lately, I have been hearing a lot about people who met through tinder and are now married. This got me thinking that probably in this age and time, clubs, bars, and coffee houses are no longer the only ideal places to meet potential life partners. So, I signed up for a couple of dating apps, and Tinder was particularly interesting.
