Found a wee Isabella Tiger Moth fresh out of the cocoon while cleaning up some severe storm aftermath. Our power is out, so I’ve spent time hanging out with Mothew while he rests on my glove outside.

How does one know what their calling in life is? What does something being “life affirming” even feel like? What if not everyone has a calling? How do I deal with knowing I’m one of those people?

The wintertime is not kind to my mental state, and I am deep in the Dark Place this week. Staring down the barrel of turning 30 soon and feeling like a massive failure. 🙃 Directionless and purposeless. Feelsbadman.

The App Store on tvs has never been too attractive to me, but one app I would buy, not just download but BUY, is one that mutes doorbell sounds.
My dogs are TIRED from telling me people are at the door every time an ad with a doorbell sound plays, and my show involves lots of doorbells today too 😭

The thing about "A.I." in art and writing and health insurance decision making and customer service and government services and a million other things... is that it sucks. And people are very very very tired of stuff that sucks.

Brewster turned 10 years old yesterday! He was a returned adoption at 18mo and his last family wanted him put to sleep. Fuck those people, he’s a smart dog who needed training he didn’t get from them, but he’s a spoiled rotten boy now and has learned so much! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Every time I read about banning books, I think of this:
Reading a book with a gay character will not make you gay any more than reading a book about Einstein will make you a genius.
If you're afraid that books might change someone's thinking, you're not afraid of books — you're afraid of thinking.

The temptation to use AI to quickly and cheaply create images is understandable but people have got to stop! This is detrimental to human creativity. Put forth the effort to learn yourself, or pay a real person to do it for you!

A person seeking a chronic illness diagnosis isn’t always a person with Münchausens who desperately wants something to be wrong for validation. We are people who DO have something wrong and we desperately want it to be fixed/managed. It’s not about attention, we just want to live well.

Idk how BSky could regulate AI “art” (the quotations are important) but that block button is gonna be my best friend.
Don’t share images or art without validating they are real!!
