i _very_ much do _not_ think llms are sentient, and i am also not a fan of their use in general, but it is a certain kind of funny to watch some folks go > u created the torment nexus, from the book "dont create the torment nexus" then immediately turn around and post stuff like...

idk why but sometimes pleco definitions use a writing voice that leaves me giggling while imagining someone writing the definitions

being a monsterfucker is great cause every once and a while someone will post art of a monster u hadn't thought about in a while and now suddenly u have new things to occupy ur thoughts

Heading into 2026, I'm still looking for fulltime or contract work as a senior writer or narrative designer. If you need someone who can write sharp characters, poetic prose, and emotional stories, I'm available! You can find my portfolio here: www.hazelmonforton.com

there's just something about watch movements...

other genres may help me cry or wallow consistently, bug damn if metal isn't great for just like sandblasting my way through emotions till i feel more stable.

If you own a computer it should be illegal for a company to not let you easily install your own software. This includes crap like tvs and refrigerators. Let me put Debian on my dishwasher.

i am deeply, profoundly glad for archivists and stuff like, this. it sucks when history is lost, and it's so cool to get it back

happy chinese food day to all who celebrate

watch restoration videos but for clockwork dolls... untapped market

got a flash flood warning (soma west, sf). it sounds like a real proper storm out too

heads up that bluesky doesnt show posts from other languages by default on your timeline, and its cutting you off from a lot of the community go to bsky.app/settings/lan... and deselect any language from this setting, or else you might not see any of the new japanese users at all!

in an incredibl-e/-ly depressing twist on this, when someone _did_ end up shooting israeli diplomats this year, it was _not_ at the embassy, or at some pro-israel event, but instead at a party at a jewish museum whose purpose was to get diplomats to support humanitarian aid.

notice they never target the israeli embassy, or pro-israel lobbying groups, or christian zionist megachurches, or right-wing pro-israel members of congress. it’s always random jews going to synagogue or having a vigil or working at a community center — the easy pickings, the easy targets.

"hey sarah, that ad script ready for pitch meeting in 30m?" "uuuuuuh, yeah, of course boss" *quickly closes ao3 and changes document title from "untitled fic" to "viator pitch"*

whatever happens next year, i just really fucking hope there's less death involved

Amazing things are happening

there's a post i saw, lost to the sands of time, by a trans entity that ends (roughly) with: > if you want to kill me, have the decency to find me in person and stab me in the kidneys; at least then you'll have to deal with the blood on your hands. it think about it a lot

this is the transfemme experience in a nutshell

lolol, defining what an emoji is is hard (in this case, my most-used emoji is likely 🤷‍♀️, which is composed of U+1F937 SHRUG & ZWJ & U+2640 FEMALE SIGN)

us: hey mozilla, it's great you exist as an independent entity that provides a browser free from so much of the extra cruft that other vendors add. it's nice to have a company whose mission is _just_ the web. mozilla leadership, pulling out a gun, pointing it at their own foot: but what if...

it's the third night of channukah, which is as good an excuse to mention one of my favorite channukah songs: "light one candle", by peter, paul, and mary. don't remember when i first heard it, but it was probably a cassette of hannukah songs my mom used to play.

you absolutely _never_ have to hand it to reagan

this is, among other reasons, why i think names & emails as immutable identifiers are bad. git's model basically forces deadnames in perpetuity. im hoping our next generation of vcses actually tackle this problem instead of punting on it and screwing trans folks over.

The video of Ahmed al Ahmed came out first, and he survived, which meant a happier and more newsworthy outcome than the three other people killed when intervening — but I feel knowing that at least four unarmed people (total) tried to stop the attackers is inspiring in itself.

so pumped for the ty beta to finally be here, we did so much great work it rules! astral.sh/blog/ty
