someone said the only good use of ai would be for household chores and while i agree freeing up domestic labor would be great I’d also like to point out that humans can be hired for those tasks much cheaper than the $$ invested in ai so once again the real problem is wealth inequality

today I am reflecting on how being kind and having a lot of empathy and consideration is also a trauma response and maybe even a more common one than becoming terrible. shoutout to all the sweeties, you’re beautiful

Overheard in the supermarket. Two teenagers.
1: 'Where's Dad?'
2 (with ineffable weariness): 'In the cheese aisle, having the time of his life.'

today’s affirmation: I am within the acceptable range of deviation. I am a perfectly roasted quail. if I was a car the mechanics would find nothing weird or rodent related in my air filter. I am upright. There are no stones or excess debris in my shoes. I still have all my bones.

Give a man a bee, he'll eat for a day. Teach a man to be, well now you've really done it. Look at him. He's contemplating things. He's experiencing futility.

You are ABSOLUTELY NOT going to regret listening to this bird:
A male rock ptarmigan (Lagopus muta) in winter plumage.
Ptarmigan is from Gaelic 'tarmachan' meaning "croaker". The p- was added when people mistakenly assumed it was a Greek word.
A bird forever warning people: "A werewolf!" (just in case of werewolves).

one of the many indignities of my medical saga of the past several years is that it all began bc I had a sharp pain in my left ovary area we assumed was a cyst and despite everything including removing my ovaries that pain still keeps me up at night. what are you and why won’t you go away!!

I am having the kind of week where I collapse into bed before 8pm and begrudgingly get out of it at 6am and spend all the intervening hours dead on my feet and you know what? being exhausted is its own horror but it does keep all the other horrors at bay

one of my hang ups finishing my romance is that it involves alzheimer’s and life after caretaking and i worry it’s too sad but this is so important actually! romance’s whole thing is that it is a safe space and that means a safe space to grieve too
Sorry to everyone who thinks there should be fewer romances involving grief, but we all just lived through a mass death/disabling historical event with absolutely zero public rhetoric about it (or the fact that it’s ongoing) and grief romances is one big way we’re all Working That Out

Once again the internet provides us with an immortal phrase that nobody will ever guess the context of.
The damned in hell are not more powerful for the fact that the fires do not consume them; it is part and parcel of their torment.
