“why do you hate technology” as though “technology” were some discrete entity divorced entirely from the context of what it does and what it creates, rather than a category so broad as to constitute reality itself

for us, the difference between "good headspace, able to get life done and create things" and "total burnout" is like $800/mo
most artists aren't asking to be rich. seriously, just make life a little fucking easier and we'll handle the rest and keep you entertained.

this is why the whole “oh, suffering creates great art” thing is bullshit
you know what’s conducive to art? a roof over your head and food on the table
you know what isn’t? stressing out over where the fuck the rent money is going to come from

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland.
And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

Early in the pandemic, people fixated on disinfecting surfaces, assuming it prevented infection. While hygiene matters, SARS‑CoV‑2 spreads mainly through airborne particles. Much better to focus on ventilation, masks in enclosed spaces, and hand hygiene.

I contracted as a paid media strategist at agencies for many years, basically auditing efficiencies for PPC clients. Throughout 24-25, they axed me because various AI tools made my job “unnecessary”. Seeing this contextualizes the “how’ve you been” text I got from a former colleague last week lol

Universities buying into this shit under the guise of "equity" makes me SO angry
Equity for my students would be access to the databases and journals we've dropped subscriptions for. It'd be having a paid human to caption videos and make PDFs screen-reader compatible. Not this shit.

My employer, Univ. Colorado will pay OpenAI $2M/year under the banner of “equity”. That’s 54 full scholarships / year. Plus, our IT will be able to read our chatGPT logs, and our chats can be requested under public records law. No thanks. Surveillance is not equity

Universities buying into this shit under the guise of "equity" makes me SO angry
Equity for my students would be access to the databases and journals we've dropped subscriptions for. It'd be having a paid human to caption videos and make PDFs screen-reader compatible. Not this shit.

there is a definite flex in quietly erasing someone from your world while giving them no indication that their words now echo in the chasm of your disregard
The best thing about bluesky is when some man (because LET'S BE HONEST) leaves what he thinks is a crowning dunk on any of my skeets and I get to banish him to the Absentia place where he sees everything I post but, unbeknownst to him, I never have to think about him again.

Blockers literally slow things down and buy time for informed decision-making.
Raising a panic about blockers is a way to rush potentially trans kids through puberty, taking their choices away from them.

This entire 'debate' is so maddening. We have been promised that a groundswell of rushed, dissatisfied detransitioners was about to emerge for nearly a decade.
Not only have they never materialized, but academic research continues to show small numbers, long assessments and miniscule regret rates.

No, I’ve literally never tried making a to-do list. Thank you for your life-changing insight into my diagnosed neuro-developmental disorder. Have you tried being kicked in the shins? 🥰
