I only like uni when it's empty 🤭😵

So I tried to launch the new design of my site tonight and guess how tech disappointed me now? Somehow moving from staging to live fucked my theme licensing and now everything has gone to shit 😭

I think I'm addicted to this new not authentic but amazing italian restaurant in town 🍝🧆

am i the only one to feel like this week won't end? 🧐

we're moving away from google drive to one drive/sharepoint at work and i thought it might've something to do w google's sus behaviour w gemini and mentioned it offhandedly that yeah, this is good and the whole zoom went quiet. apparently no one in a PRODUCT TEAM knew this 🙄

🗣️ JUST SO WE’RE CLEAR: NAZIS DON’T DESERVE ICE CREAM OR ANYTHING OTHER THAN THEIR WORST NIGHTMARES PLAYING OUT IN FRONT OF THEM EACH AND EVERY DAY. FUCK THEM ALL.

Also, I just realised this. I've been sharing a lot of news pieces here and the reason behind that is that I get off work around this time everyday and "wind down" by reading the news, checking socials and working on my blog. I realise this isn't the best winding down technique but it is what it is

Someone tell the "Grok, is this true this true?" crowd that they're idiots theconversation.com/i-used-ai-ch...

it's stuff like this that makes me realize that we'll never build jarvis, spaceships, or even solve climate change and end world hunger. our corporate overlords will have us all be too delusional to achieve anything worthwhile: share.google/TGSh5R24kzwt...

It's snowing so I'm eating mac n cheese while working on a blog post

I Writed Sum Buks. I tooked a picture of 'em. All but 2 are available via Amazon. #AlphabetChallenge #WeekBforBooks #photography #WriterÜberAlles

“Joe gave us a voice. He listened. Took us seriously. First it was small things. We wanted a weight-lifting club. He showed us how to organize one. Then bigger things. We wanted jobs. He helped us find them.” From my award-winning novel: books2read.com/u/mlLBPM #WritingCommunity #BookSky📚💙

Derry Girls is weirdly relatable. ✨👀

Emotionally “bittersweet” stories are outperforming purely optimistic or tragic narratives in reader retention. Readers stay longer with honesty than resolution.

It's snowing so much rn that the entire city's shutdown tomorrow. Perfect way to start the week 😊

i've been auditing my blog for the new year and nothing makes me happy more than seeing my blog posts showing up on the first page of google 😃 not at the top of the page yet but we're getting there 😤💪 #writing

So, 2026 is right around the corner, what's everyone's new year's resolutions this year? 🧐 #NewYear2026

Christmas, but make it coffee, quiet pages, and a city glowing in the rain. Happy Christmas Everyone! 🎄☕

I'm almost done with my goal for the year 🤩 #reading #booksky

there are so many books that everyone should read and hardly anyone has read any of them

“Have you brought the list?” “I have, O Great One.” “Has it been checked twice?” “Of course, sir” “Excellent.” “Do you require anything further?” “Bring me an elf, I’m famished.”

In other, much nicer news, I got my first fan mail through my contact form on my blog 🥳🥳🥳 usually, everyone just emails me. It's nice to see that someone used the contact form. 🤗

Tell me that you have no moral compass without telling me that you have no moral compass. This is so cringe 🙄

I'm making halim today, at the request of my sister's friend, and lemme tell you: it's a shit show. I think it looks like it. My sisters think it smells like daal, and the friend? She's visibly salivating because none of the south asian restaurants in Istanbul serve this.

Back in the 2010s, the US branch of the family used to call us up and ask if we're fine (thanks to terrorism and all). And now in 2025, I've been talking to my cousins (2nd generation US citizens btw), if they're alright because of the state of the world. We're living in wild times people

Finally, scientific proof! #Caturday

MY FATHER IS GIVING ME DATING TIPS 😳😳😳 Sir, you have THREE daughters and FOUR sisters. You should not be telling me how you evaluated women in your day. What the hell is HAPPENING? (my dad is low-key giving me good advice: never let yourself down, don't over compromise etc)

My mother has been bothering me to get w one of my hs seniors (he used to write me notes instead of asking me out like a normal person) because he's gotten back in touch w me recently

In other news, it was my sister's and brother-in-law's 5 year anniversary yesterday and they spent the day doing a financial audit of the company they own together (along w my other sister and I). Why is this weirdly wholesome?? 🥹🥹🥹

I started my morning with an AI rant and a headache. I'm making pancakes now. This is so on brand, it's not even funny. My siblings are not home. My best friend's out. And this is what happens when I'm left alone w nothing to do. I hate Sundays.

In case anyone's wondering, I was severely screwed over by the crypto winter of 2022 (worked as a technical writer in the industry) and have been obsessed with bubbles since then. And this is giving more tulip bubble w social media at the wheels 🫠🫠

I'm saying this now (right as my boss tells me that we've won an award at work for the AI search tool the team and I worked on), AI is JUST the next iteration of Google search, G-suite and editing tools. That's it. It's making stuff quicker for us, but you can't use this excuse to burn the planet—

I had an argument w someone the other night and this tech bro told me that AI would replace me as a writer 🥲 (because the first you'd find online about me is writing and not what I've studied/am studying or my actual job so he didn't even bother learning about it)

The moon tonight

“AI execs talk fondly of the concept of the ‘one-person unicorn’: a billion-dollar company with a single human employee and legions of AI subroutines.”

Every A.I. CEO is like “We invented a robot that can fuck your wife so you have more free time to mow the lawn!”

LLMs are doubly deceptive. Most people think that they can ask it a question and get an answer. The majority of the rest think that you can ask an LLM a question and it will return what an answer might look like, statistically. But it's actually even worse. It doesn't "read" the prompt; it guesses.

in lighter news that doesn't revolve around idiots who couldn't analyse a book if their life depended on it, i'm looking for a mentor to help w an undergrad project i'm working on based off the work done by the physics nobel prize team. my old phys prof hasn't gotten back to me yet tho 😞

why am i not surprised that the people who think coding is "real" engineering also missed the point of the alchemist. we need to bring back shaming/compulsory arts/actual logic (not comp logic) education. htf are these morons the "future?"

I find it bleak that ChatGPT now has more users than Wikipedia. Many people would rather be spoon-fed information by a machine than read and research for themselves. Tech isn't just making us dumber. Worse than that: it's killing curiosity itself and the desire to learn.
