Giving my 25 year old cat a bit of supervised outdoor time. She's enjoying the smell and sounds, and the feel of the breeze. I think she finally knows she's old. When she was 17 she was still acting like a young cat: wanting to hunt, zooming around, even going on my shoulders for bike rides.

So tomorrow there is a risk of tornados in Washington. Weeeeeeee. I know I'm going somewhere with very stout walls for the day.

This evenings random nickname for my cat: fluff nugget

I just heard that there are people doing anti Maga and anti fascist protests around the world in solidarity of what's happening in the US. Our news is suppressed.

A question I wasn't expecting in a professional setting was: Give an example of a time you were genuine. I did an okay job of it, but as I'm reflecting, my genuine moments are in the edges of each moment, in the wholeness of enjoying and connecting. To myself, my environment, to others.

Just had a funny realization: the humanizing ai text fixers, could in fact be used to make autistic communication sound neurotypical.

Also autistic communication is being flagged as ai at times. Which is where that thought spawned from.

I think it's funny to see the new ads popping into phone games full of AI voice overs. The speaker now sounds more normal, but with the syntax of another language. Makes me wonder if the learning models will keep using AI output and degrade each generation. Many developers do work in silos after all

Generally we think of alt-text as the domain of those with accessibility needs.

However alt-text is useful for many reasons, which benefit your viewers, as well as you, the creator!

I'm nonbinary, or enby, etc. I'm also not straight. And I'm not heteronormative. And I'm kind of ace. Not sure where it's even okay to have community. But I do know I need it.
