Okay that made my day. Thank you so much @bookgaga.bsky.social 💜💜

(Spirit must have known I needed an extra shove in the right direction. It always comes around through the net of community somehow. The net is wider than you might imagine. 😘)

It’s good to know my works touch people! 🫂
This was so so good and I don’t know who to tell. I’m incapacitated. You know one of those bellies you see like “that’s a lesbian belly” or at least a bisexual some type of lgtqbelly happening there

I need to befriend someone who hosts legendary dinner parties that will let me hobnob with all the wits and sophisticates of our set. Never get to hobnob these days.

Credit where credit is due, the notion of a “bereft sense of self” comes from Toni Morrison, who used it to describe the white condition. (Speaking here to a man with a pronounced sense of entitlement.)

"I was asleep before. ...When they slaughtered Congress, we didn't wake up. When they blamed terrorists and suspended the constitution, we didn't wake up then, either. Nothing changes instantaneously. In a gradually heating bathtub, you'd be boiled to death before you knew it."

because humans are flawed the data entered into the parameters of llms are flawed. education weeds out bias but there's nothing a techbro hates more than education. they love "information" & "data" built on systemic hierarchies because there is no claim to fame/access to wealth without it.
