GUARDIAN MONSTER ALPHABET POSTER
What the heck is a Guardian Monster?
I am so glad you asked. Perhaps you've heard of guardian angels -- those lovely, winged beings who guide and protect you? Well, when the job requires a specialized "monster point of view", these eager fellows step up! They may not be as attractive as their more famous counterparts, but they are very loyal and work hard on your behalf. Most of the time. They do have a wee tendency to get their feelings hurt if they are not feeling appreciated. And yes, they have been known to play a practical joke now and again, just to amuse themselves, BUT, for the most part, they are quite reliable and will be there when you need them.

A word of caution: I have not yet met any guardian monster whom one might call pretty. They are not. In fact some can be downright ugly. Depending on their underlying natures and current mood, they might also appear grouchy, whiney, bad-tempered or exhibit any number of not-so-nice personalities. That is not their fault -- they were born that way. So, if you are looking for pretty, fairy-like, always-smiling, ever-friendly types of beings, this is most definitely not the poster for you. These fellows, despite their diminutive stature, mean business. They were built to handle stress, anger, fear, all kinds of unpleasant feelings, and they look like it!

Set against a golden graduated background, a series of stacked blocks, with a strange assortment of monsters standing or sitting on them. Some are sleeping, some are glaring, most are smiling (in a monster kind of way). Each is holding his/her favorite letter of the alphabet. Also available in a cool palette.

Bulgarians pay tribute to Cyrillic script forefathers on St Cyril and Methodius Day.

Hundreds of people gathered in the Bulgarian capital on Saturday to lay flowers at the base of the statue of Orthodox Church saints St Cyril and Methodius in central Sofia.

St Cyril and Methodius were the creators of the Glagolitic script, which later evolved into the Cyrillic alphabet.

Börsenwert: Unternehmen knacken Rekord, aber Techwerte nicht mehr großer Treiber

Der Wert der weltweit kostspieligsten Konzerne steigt mit über 40 Billionen US-Dollar auf neue Höhen. Aber bei Tech- und KI-Werten kühlt sich die Stimmung ab.

What is this nonsense I'm hearing about #Alphabet stock tanking because investors think AI-generated responses will kill their #Ads business??

Are you mad?

AI-generated ad summaries will 10x $GOOG's revenue from Ads!

Because Ads can (and will) now be indistinguishable from #AI responses, mark my words...

actionnetwork.orgWe Call on The Open University to Divest from Israel and the Arms Industry As of March 2024 the Open University held £91.4 Million in an investment fund that (according to January's accounts) holds 17.78% of its portfolio in companies complicit in the occupation, oppression and dispossession of the Palestinian people. This is an equivalent to £16,250,920 of the OU’s known investments. As staff, students, alumni and supporters of The Open University, we believe such investments are incompatible with the institution's mission to promote social justice. Join us and call on The Open University to divest from Israel and the arms industry. Please sign our petition and promote our campaign. The campaign is coordinated by The Open University UCU Branch, OU Palestine Solidarity Group and the OU Friends of Palestine. Signatories names will be sent to the petition's addressees only and will not be published online.

today is #NationalDayOfActionForPalestine. as a student i am taking part in a phone blockade against the #OpenUniversity today to confront them with their complicity in #GazaGenocide by partnering with #BAEsystems in particular but also #Microsoft #Google #Alphabet, and #CISCO.
Their immoral conduct makes me and fellow students & staff involuntarily complicit in #WarCrimes and #genocide.
