I play games, I make lace, I sew, I write. PhD in AuDHD. The name has changed but the nerd remains the same.

Hello Bluesky! I am a recovering academic whose ADHD hyperfixation is picking up new historical fiber arts. When I'm not stitching, I'm writing or playing video games.

Reminder for the new year
For the first time in parenting, my teen has made a decision that I'm unsure is the right one, but I'm trying to let them explore and figure things out for themselves. I'll be there to catch them if they fall. But it's hard.

It's illegal for the president to relieve student loan debt. It's completely fine for the president to unilaterally decide to have the head of a foreign nation black bagged on foreign soil.

You cannot have “AI” without having “machine that almost solely exists to create nonconsensual sexually explicit images of mainly women and children.” The former exists in tandem with the latter. That’s how this industry has worked so far, and it has only gotten worse with zero accountability

We got my dad hooked on the first season of Fallout while he was here for Christmas. He isn't familiar with the games, but he did maintenance nuclear missiles in the military during the Cold War, and loves dystopias, so it's right up his alley.

The produce girl complimented me on my flannel today at the grocery store. And I always forget I'm wearing my rainbow glasses. I think that counts as being flirted with twice in Wegmans now.

People who write about how everyone hated Wesley Crusher were clearly not 10yo girls when TNG aired. Wesley was goals, either be him or date him. Wesley was on my short list of baby names, but my spouse vetoed.

Spouse and I agreed on our second playthrough of BG3, we would play with Halsin in our party in full Himbo mode with his armor hidden. We've finally achieved it, and it's better than we imagined.

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.
I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

it’s hard to think of a bigger grift than the claim that predictive text aka gAI is ‘conscious’ and thus “deserve rights” like the ability to vote

I feel like my first PhD didn't count and I'm not using it, so maybe I should get a different one.
