I want to once again encourage everyone who can to take advantage of opportunities to gather with others in person. It's more important than ever. It was wonderful to be with folks today at Communiversity. We'll be back at it next Saturday. Join in if interested.

I keep my car very clean. There's usually nothing in it. Today is an exception. If someone breaks in, they will get cabbage.

are you even in my life if I don't talk about you in therapy

Presenter: ‘Hey, you should use AI’ Me:

traditional media might suck, but that doesn’t mean social media is the better alternative. we desperately need to rebuild a robust media system or we’re fucked.

I love writing in coffee shops because I have trouble concentrating if I'm not overhearing the stupidest person in the world talk to the second stupidest person in the world.

Friends. Sunset. Puget Sound. What more could I ask for? #seattle #nature

pretty much the best feeling in the world to have someone find joy and distraction in something you made

One of the most important things when it comes to controlling what happens in the future is controlling what people are allowed to imagine today.

Choir nerds assemble!! Love singing in the Bellevue Chamber Chorus. 💙🎵 #choir #music #singing #classicalmusic

The frenglish in this house is crazy. My husband just said "I need to faire the thing. Afterwards je come back." #French #français #francoamericain

It should be needless to say, but it is perhaps at this moment worth saying, that transgender individuals have the same right as anyone else to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

I got my first request from a literary agent for sample chapters 🥺 #writersky

“Not only AI enthusiasts, but even some scholars whose expertise concentrates on identifying and critically interrogating ideologies and sociotechnical relationships (…) unfortunately fall prey to the teleological belief that AI is an unstoppable force.” — zenodo.org/records/1706...

Oh wow the unfriending I'm doing bc of how ppl are responding to Charlie Kirk's death... Honestly, it's my fault for assuming young women in STEM would be progressive. Can't expect more from white women atp.

Reading about this brought to mind a piece I wrote two years ago, inspired by one of my favourite authors. Ursula K. Le Guin emphasized that there’s a big difference “between production of a market commodity and the practice of an art.” OpenAI’s AI-generated movie offers us nothing.

A refusal to seriously address racism is why everyone is here. I don't know what to tell you.

I don't want AI. All I want is to make paper with my friends. #creative #art #craft #sustainability #community

Hungover. Woke up early. Reorganized my bookshelf. The classic literature section is now in order of publication date, with a few exceptions where I wanted to keep authors together. #booksky

Things that have changed my culinary life this year: - Papa Tony's Hot Sauce (the mango habanero is so fucking good) - weekly farm box delivery from Helsing Junction Farms - an immersion blender #cooking #seattle #washington #food

"Pat, why do you carry that ridiculous 600mm lens on long hikes?" Buddy, I can see mountains reflected in the eyes of a trailside pika.

“You don't have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them.” ~Ray Bradbury Keep reading, friends. 📚

We simply do not have to live this way.

so many startups are convinced the thing I want most is to record every word ever uttered around me and I cannot think of anything I'm less keen on

a british person just told me they’d put our meeting time “in their diary” that’s so cute i with british people were real

Cobalt Red by Siddharth Kara paints a damning picture of the horrific human rights abuses in the Congo where nearly all of the cobalt needed for rechargeable batteries is mined. The price of having a phone in your hand is paid for, literally, in the blood of children. #booksky #reading #nonfiction

i want to believe… …that the ai bubble is finally bursting

I just keep seeing evidence everywhere that so-called liberals and progressives have rapidly given up feeling responsible for remembering that people of color experience a different version of the world *because race is a thing* and have life worlds that white people are not privy to

We need to bring back declaring “A pox on your house” at people who’ve wronged us

They did it! Someone found the factual flaw in my obviously whimsical post! I am not one for hyperbole, but they are perhaps the greatest hero in the history of the modern world.

My friends and I started a monthly writing workshop where we critique each other's work over lunch! Got some great feedback on my book. So exciting to see people reacting to my work and have them pick up on all the little details 💕 #writersky #booksky #writing
