I do Gunpla and Model kits, play MMOs, TTRPGs and paint minis. I'm big into anime, movies, music, books, art, sewing, crafting, etc.
Please no offers to make AI art for me- I prefer human works.

WOW. @haleaziz.bsky.social with a new scoop: ICE now gets a running list of every person who is going to be taking a domestic flight inside the United States from the TSA and runs it through their database looking for targets. This explains the Babson College student's arrest.

Cptsd can feel a bit like being antagonized by some sort of illusionist or psychic manipulator where everything will seem terrible and hopeless and then if you go "wait. These feelings don't make sense" you get a Wisdom saving throw that could just make everything seem fine again

All right, so I have been a little busy and stressed to do the annual Christmas song explainer, but I’m laid up today without much better to do, so here you go.

Every single year, my mother complains: “nobody can write a new Christmas song anymore? It’s all the same stuff!”

She’s right. 🧵

Saw a movie post about a film that I am a detractor for. But I did not comment.

Rage posting is the tool of the enemy. We do not use it. We do not *need* it.

This is honestly boosting my confidence as a writer. Whenever I worry about being too wordy or overly dramatic, I can remind myself that the bar is not as high as I think it is

One of the many reasons AI can't produce good writing is it can't hate its own writing. It can't think to itself "Maybe I'm illiterate" during the writing process. And that's essential

When you’re troubleshooting quilt stuff, you want sites from before 2004 by a lady named Barb or Carol.

Knitting? Late 40s women who almost certainly are computer scientists or would have been.

Embroidery is 30s women who say fuck a lot.

Sewing is bored fashion school graduates.

I get so frustrated with the fact that study after study shows that having a strong social safety net for everyone (UBI, healthcare, modest housing, etc.) costs less than every single one of our current thoroughly broken for-profit systems.
But we persist in restricting who "counts" as everyone.

If the entire Trump administration doesn't realize that this would guarantee that the Trump pardons they're all banking on will also be declared invalid by a future president, nobody tell them.
BREAKING: President Trump declared that all of former President Biden’s pardons are now “invalid.” There is no legal mechanism for presidents to revoke their predecessors’ pardons but if Trump is taken seriously, thousands could be thrown into legal chaos.

In training for AI. So little of this feels applicable to my day-to-day work... For continued employment I plan to try it out a little (yanno, "write me an email" for the next time I send an email) but I don't see much value in it yet.
