i am a deeply nonthreatening person because i am a very fat medium size woman looking person in a bright pink dress and tevas with a pigeon themed set of accessories so its a little bit easier for me to do this kind of thing

the cops fucking pulled up and detained some unhoused people because a fucking business owner saw them in "his" alley and decided that the stick one of them was clearly using to walk was a weapon. i sat with one of them and gave her water and helped her with deep breathing???

anyway i needed more of a specific type of nutritional thing (insoluble fiber) and i looked at a list of the things that are good for it and found apples and oats. so i am making an apple oat crisp with cherries, blackberries, ginger, walnuts and piñon nuts

2026-04-10 16:40:15 UTC

ok so as you all have heard i am Going Through It, Medically Speaking, and one of the things that i am having to do is change my diet around to compensate for some temporary medication side effects.

ok i know im supposed to be napping but you know what pisses me off? dinosaur toys and shit all still looks like it did when i was a child and we know way more about dinosaurs now and they did not probably look like that. we just apparently came to a goddamn cultural consensus that we would rather give our children lies to play with than let go of our own fucking nostalgia. it disgusts me

i don't really have it in me to do the thing disabled people are expected to do where we use our incredibly limited energy to pretend we are okay so abled people don't get uncomfortable. i will have to start doing that again when the store opens but i am not really interested in doing it now
please don't expect me to get well on your time scale. i already have enough problems with being disappointed at my own limitations without carrying yours too

i am realizing that being extremely online and audhd for several decades had let me absorb a lot of indexing information on how to find stuff that just isn't stuff most people know how to find anymore, or weren't around to learn about when it was easy to find it

i have been thinking about how no one is born knowing anything and people are turning to "ai" because they never learned about https://thistothat.com/ or they forgot how to get there

but im thinking like, an internet travel guide, with a special emphasis on internet-as-archive and internet-as-museum, might be fun to make. like a link directory but with a lot of basic utility stuff in it

the idea is: bot that makes up new fronts for the culture war by picking two things from the same category and assigning each of them to a culture war category. ie: alligators are for straight men and if you prefer lizards you are gay

you'd hear stories about how people would let itunes scan their whole hard drive for all media and so there'd just be porn jumpscares when you were looking at what people had but i mostly found a lot of music by the band cake

2026-01-19 21:23:34 UTC

back when i was in college, itunes would just automatically network with all the other computers on your internet connection and share their music libraries while their computers were on, so you'd have access to all the libraries of everyone in your dorm. you could opt out but people didn't

Hey all, I've spent the past few weeks working really hard on the kobold heart hoard project and it's available for pre-order now. It's 10 glass hearts, starting at $25.
https://nora.jewelry/products/kobold-heart-hoard
Shares are appreciated.
I've been spending my time working on this project trying to figure out new uses for different kinds of glass scrap and to reuse pieces of glass that didn't turn out before. The $25 from a bunch of people basically pays for me to spend a month or so on experiments 💜

if your argument about what kind of "ai" use is bad would also apply to polite search engine crawlers and/or art made during the fluxus movement, i think you should shut up

and if your arguments about "ai" are so broad they would also make web crawlers and dwarf fortress verboten then you need to learn enough to refine them to something reasonable

if you think the art is bad "because it lacks the touch of a human soul" that is a perfectly valid religious belief but not one anyone who does not share your faith-based ideas about the human soul needs to accept as any sort of a convincing argument

im sorry but if your problem with LLMs is the plagiarism and someone uses one trained on exclusively their own work you have to either refine your perspective about the way the software is a problem to come up with a new reason or chill the fuck out

2025-12-21 23:30:50 UTC

im getting really sick of the primary voices i hear about "ai" being a problem coming from people who think learning enough about how it works to identify its use is some kind of sin and whose justifications for hating it range from vibes-based to mystical
