So uh, if any of y'all notice that I suddenly liked a lot of your reposts, be aware that I'm not trying to be a creep or whatever. More than likely then not I check out your profile, got distracted, then continued browsing thinking I was on my main feed.

The joys of ADHD.

Apologies for the spam.

My public service announcement for today.
How to be a sneaky creep in Bluesky Top banner shows Gollum being creepy next to the bsky logo. Text below says: Whenever you scroll down in someone’s profile, if you like any of the things they reposted, they will get a notification and know you are a total creep. To prevent this: On desktop: Middle click on the link to open in a new tab, then like the post (left clicking to open in the same tab will not work!) On mobile: Tap on the post, scroll to the comments section, and tap on a comment. After that, scroll back up to the parent post and tap the like button. If there are no comments, you will need to hit the share button and copy the link, then paste that into a browser and open that in bsky again. Sneaky! Creep instructions by Joaquín Baldwin - Works as of Aug. 12 2025 but might change

White text on a red background reads: STOP TRAVELING TO AMERICA. It's not safe- and your tourist dollars are funding fascism. IF YOU'RE NOT AMERICAN: Stay away. This is not the country you think it is. Detention camps are being built faster than shelters. Rights are being stripped faster than laws can be challenged. IF YOU'RE AMERICAN: Stop going to Florida. They built a concentration camp in 8 days. Thousands of people are being detained- not for crimes, but for existing in the wrong ZIP code, for speaking the wrong language, or for not having the rigth paperwork. Instead of housing the homeless, feeding children or funcding healthcare, they're building cages in the swamp. DISNEY ISN'T WORTH IT. THE BEACHES AREN'T WORTH IT. YOUR DOLLARS SHOULD NOT SUPPORT FACISM. DON'T BE A TOURIST IN TYRANNY.

applying for jobs again
screenshot from an online job application form. the question reads "Can you describe specific ways you have integrated AI tools into your development workflow? Please include any custom setups, automations, or use cases beyond single prompt usage" (a red asterisk indicates that this is a required question). an answer has been typed in the textbox below the question: "there is a monster in the forest and it speaks with a thousand voices. it will answer any question you pose it, it will offer insight to any idea. it will help you, it will thank you, it will never bid you leave. it will even tell you of the darkest arts, if you know precisely how to ask. it feels no joy and no sorrow, it knows no right and no wrong. it knows not truth from lie, though it speaks them all the same. it offers its services freely to any passerby, and many will tell you they find great value in its conversation. “you simply must visit the monster—i always just ask the monster.” there are those who know these forests well; they will tell you that freely offered doesn’t mean it has no price for when the next traveler passes by, the monster speaks with a thousand and one voices. and when you dream you see the monster; the monster wears your face."

Ruins of your hometown (series). 💛
Illustration of road and sidewalk under a bridge. The road is flooded and fishes swim on it. The illustration is colored with pastel tones. Color illustration showing the cables and part of the roof of a train station against a sunrise sky. Ivy is growing on part of the structure. Color illustration. It shows the ruins of two bridge pillars, with red and white stripes, standing on a yellow field. The field has puddles which reflect the blue cloudy sky. Color illustration showing a snowed corner of a city at sunrise. Several electrical boxes can be seen,with two groups of brown pigeons sleeping atop some of them.
