y'know, if tech companies weren't so fired up to call every single thing "AI" it would be a lot easier to distinguish "ML spam filter that is well-sandboxed and tuned on your emails" from "giant context and IP-eroding foundation model that makes people paranoid and unhappy"
since the "google is now training gemini on your email contents" thing keeps bumping around here: it's _not happening_. I say this not to defend google but because I know a lot of people that have broken their filtering and made their lives much more annoying from sheer misinformation.
The malwarebytes Google opting-your-emails-into-ai-training thing is not true. The post is based on one bad tweet.
I know anti-tech lamenting is a Bluesky core principle, but please use the same judgement you would for any other clickbait.

I've just begun being 30-something and I'm already obsessed with hot home-cooked meals, fermentation, gardening, needlework and fiber crafts, sleeping eight hours a day
No I'm genuinely excited to be getting old 💤

for those of you who didn't know that fatphobia and transphobia are intertwined:
trans people seeking trans-specific medical care -- care that would otherwise be covered -- are often turned away until they lose weight. sometimes they're turned away full stop.
health care is held for ransom.

Earlier this year I hauled my fat ass over to New Jersey for a consult appt for top surgery.
I will not be going with that doctor, in part because her skinny ass was shocked that I estimated it would take me 3 months to lose 15 pounds.
"That long?!" she exclaimed.
It's definitely entwined.

it's crucial to understand how fatphobia is woven into oppression. it's woven into the war on poor people. it's woven into anti-Blackness. it's woven into trasnphobia and ableism. and all those ones are woven into each other.
without fat politics, your social justice lens has a big hole.

There were once dozens of newsstand magazines devoted to science fiction, fantasy, horror, and "weird tales." Those dozens eventually shrank to three: Analog, Asimov's, and The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction.

Occasionally, I discover a random fact that could birth a decent metaphor or story.
Today's fact for my writer friends: The largest organism on Earth is Pando, an 80,000-yr-old, 106-acre, Aspen grove connected by a single root system. Each tree is unique, yet a clone.
What metaphors do you see?

Unfortunately regularly necessary reminder that End-to-End Encryption does not protect you against needing to thoroughly and routinely vet your comms.
“The FBI gained access to conversations in a ‘courtwatch’ Signal group that helps coordinate volunteer activists who monitor public proceedings at three New York federal immigration courts. The US government has repeatedly been accused of violating immigrants’ due process rights at those courts.”

When I was a kid, dad told me this,
"You are not learning to draw because you might become the greatest artist ever. But, during those minutes of solitude between work shifts, when you can sit down with a cup of coffee, you can draw on the napkin with a ballpoint pen. You can keep your soul alive."
