queer non-binary parent to two kids. ffxiv player (Naoh'ra Epocan, Siren). occasional writer. Sekimura Mikado (B-Project) is my second husband. The flesh and blood husband knows this.
LRP: I wasn’t able to do a lot of things until my oldest was able to babysit their younger brother. Spaces where kids weren’t allowed were spaces I couldn’t go. I didn’t build a community of real-life friends until relatively recently, because my kids prevented me from socializing in most spaces.

Keeping children out of public spaces means that mostly women are also kept out of public spaces. It makes parenting lonelier and isolating parents is a great way to make them susceptible to all sorts of fucked up social conditioning. Also children are people and should be seen and heard.
Controversial opinion from a woman without children: We need more, not less, kid-friendly spaces. And I'm obsessed with Christina Tkacik's latest profile. "Punk is family. Punk is community. Punk is children and upbringing and showing them the world and everything." www.thebanner.com/culture/food...

There's something wonderful and funny about having a fandom in law. Like, I don't go here, but my friend does, so now I know random shit about F1 teams or wrestlers or kpop groups

Then you see something about their brainworm and you bring it to them like a crow, like "I saw this and thought of you"

Working on a story plot idea for November. I’m using the Rough Draft Challenge planner from Sarra Cannon of Heart Breathings, and I’m plotting this to write it during @firstdraftdetroit.bsky.social’s First Draft Frenzy! November is SOON, oh my GOODNESS aaaa

man plotting a novel is hard work

why is it such a struggle to figure out what should happen. ugh. (this is why I haven't attempted fantasy before now. whew)

Last night my kids were abominations who roughhoused on our bed and lost my sleep mask and I got NO SLEEP last night which means NO plotting happened today.

Perhaps tomorrow.

Ahhhh I’m trying to actually concoct a real plot for that novel I pantsed last November, and now I’m second-guessing myself 😭😭😭

That's the thing, right, is that as a data analysis tool machine learning could be useful as fuck. "here's 365 days of data on how my sheep use the land, tell me how to set up fencing to mimic their preferred seasonal use"
Cancer researcher here. We routinely use AI methods for data analysis. They're extremely useful, and much more efficient than LLMs in use of resources, but they won't "cure cancer" next year, that's not a thing.

LLMs like ChatGPT have little or nothing to contribute to healthcare.

Generative AI art skeeves me out because it is so unsettling to consider outsourcing your literal imagination. What do you mean you need to generate this. Why don't you just sit and think about it

I’m at 43,321 words so far for this original project for my non-affiliated November writing challenge so far. I am roughly halfway through my intended plot. Whew. Maybe when I start trying to polish it up for a second draft, I can work on fanfic instead…

I had INTENDED to write about Naoh'ra and G'raha for my non-affiliated-November-writing-challenge project this year but then @jorisromanio.bsky.social kept planting lil seeds for another idea and whoops, I'm 42k into it

sorry Naoh'ra/G'raha, Maybe after I finish this project 😩
