Shenwei interviewed me last week for Taiwanese American Heritage Week! This is the first time someone has asked me about what went into creating the Cylian language on the page, a process which I was all too happy to nerd out about.

Say it after me: Chat GPT is not a search engine. It does not scan the web for information, it just generates statistically likely sentences. You cannot use it a search engine, or as a substitute for searching. Now. Please never use an LLM for information searches ever again.

Sex is just projection of gender onto the body

I don't mind doing things for others, but I do kind of resent the idea that the only way I can have value to others is through my labor... I can't just be a person who has value period. But it's nearly impossible to escape that in the capitalist and ableist society we live in.

Seriously, can I get my impostor syndrome transferred to the GCs with XX in their bios despite never having been karyotyped
