Queer, educator, tired and trying for hope. Will settle for people to hold while the world burns.
New things frequently suck, thus resistance to AI.
@shibbi.bsky.social: what if, instead of a new way to create suck, we build Good Thing?
Me: what if, instead of building new good thing, we strengthen and expand access to old good thing?

This is what happens when someone ai-generates a floorplan.
I went to this showing, by the way. The rooms are in the wrong place, both do have windows, the kitchen window could not be where it is, none of this is right.
But check. Those. Closets.

Nothing fills one with quite so much hatred as travel.
Under normal circumstances, standing slightly out of line, adjusting and touching a seat, or using a sanitizer wipe on everything would be merely irritating.
On a two hour delayed flight.... I am restraining my homicidal urges.

Random little adjustments I make for my (work) kids' sensory needs:
-yes you can wash hands and come back to the activity
-sure, you can wear your hat inside
-socks are wonky? fix those 70 million times
-child is loud? Ok, we can shift so you are further.
-blanket can be a pillow
-yes you can wash hands and come back to the activity
-sure, you can wear your hat inside
-socks are wonky? fix those 70 million times
-child is loud? Ok, we can shift so you are further.

We see some emotions as Good/kind and some as Bad. But rage at injustice, the destructive protectiveness we feel, is not only sometimes a useful motivator - it is inextricable from the kind of love we need. The full range of feelings is necessary, even in a utopia.

The distinction between "I care deeply about people and consequently feel that those who harm them should be stopped by any means necessary" and "I hate assholes and consequently build resilient communities out of sheer spite" is that one of these will still be useful when there are no more assholes

Publicly doing stuff for moral reasons makes you sound judgy, no matter how gently you express you're doing it. It's hard to consciously sacrifice a convenience because it's socially, morally, or environmentally better and NOT feel a little smug. Writing an article about it was optional tho.
I loved this essay about clawing back a sense of humanity and community where and when you can, by @caytonholland.bsky.social!!!
Normalize AI-shaming
Remember when you were a child in the supermarket and you wandered off, then looked up at a stranger thinking it was your mom, but it wasn’t your mom? That’s how AI feels.

My faith, look for
Every moment of understanding
Every kiss
Every changed mind
Every stubborn refusal to leave
Every link we forge between us
Every skill we share
Each name we take
Lights in the dark, so numerous sometimes we cannot even recognize them for miracles, filling our sky edge to edge.

So, remember when I said knitting was good for the brain?
It's 1am. That off-white thing is easily four feet long. I am working out the pattern for the sleevey bits myself after three rounds of frogging because I refuse to have a seam on the skin. This thing is also merino wool, so factor price in.

The thing about working with kids and being full of love for them is that you learn to look at like... a raging screaming meltdown? As just... oh, you are stressed. Let's breathe for a little bit and then we can see what's fixable, hey?
It's good for when your brain is screm, too.

Two little boys had a tea party with pizza today.
Five children carefully painted paper stars.
There was singing and dancing and riding bikes and drawing one very big and one very small shark.
All is well.

Imean... nobody knew, but someone noticed. More than one someone.
I got to become a whole person with them.
And I learned the people who didn't know didn't try.
If you are honest, open, and routinely misinterpreted anyway? Sometimes it's because you picked the wrong people to communicate with.
