I verbalize how sad this makes me. Not the gal's post. The way people are completely shitty about it. The way people have been taking the smallest of hooks and spinning entire contextless controversies out of them on these sites is both tedious and infuriating. Even judicial blocking isn't enough.

Took a walk in the wonderful cold and snowy landscape earlier, but I forgot to use my asthma spray beforehand and now my longs feel cold and I feel chilled to my bones. Had forgotten how badly the cold can hit my lungs when I am not prepared.

I’m howling.

If you are learning Blender - or even if you're more experienced; there's always more to learn - Jan is a must-follow.

Hiding in the woods like bitches People from North Carolina don’t play; they’ll find out about North Carolina very soon.

Hand editing your Windows Registry is not something I would normally recommend, but these instructions are simple and direct. Do exactly as directed and you'll be fine. If you get lost/stuck for some reason, tag me.

It's the same in my kitchen....

Today is the day to repost this meme about International Men's Day, one of the most unironically wholesome memes that has ever been made. Shoutout to all my fellow champs, chiefs, and kings. ✊

This piece is so honest and astute. I immediately subscribed to the newsletter after reading this.

I cosign every single word of this anthonymoser.github.io/writing/ai/h...

Important news!

First proper snow and it's not even december yet. Oh jet stream shenanigans, I still haven't prepped all my plants fully for the winter.

Kickstarter union has won a 4 day work week, minimum salary and protection against AI replacing workers!! Unions get amazing things done!!

PRO TIP: Instead of using Adobe Reader or Edge or a web browser to read PDFs on your Windows machine, use a comic book reader app. There are many free ones which launch instantly and come with zero bullshit

Ooooh is your internet broken. Did someone's immaterial web of financial speculation and surveillance turn out to have a failure point in material infrastructure

I AM WHEEZING AT A PITCH ONLY DOGS CAN HEAR

Finally thank god

A repost... 'Groovy' ~ Wooden scoop carved in figured Walnut wood. This piece had a bifurcated bottom... sort of like a seed pod. #spoon #spoontaneous #art #craft #design #woodworking #woodenspoon #carving #wood #sculpture #scoop

Table Battles is a gem for when you don't have much room. As a bonus, the wooden sticks feel really nice when you move them.

Oh I need them SO badly!!!!

Want to play a Duck? After appearing as a location and then counters in Greg Stafford's 1975 board war game White Bear and Red Moon ("Ducks, Ducks, and More Ducks"), as #TTRPG creatures Ducks first appeared in @chaosium.bsky.social's first edition of #RuneQuest (1978).

Bad day distracted by good friend offering to reschedule stuff for a day neither of us had the brainspace to work. And that now means I have an uninterrupted set of writing days next week. How many words can I bash out on the next demo? We will see!

A thing I am not enjoying is my hormones yoyoing everywhere. Thought I had stabilized a bit, turns out my body is not agreeing. Oh moods swings.

This video on the fashion industry, the commodification of youth, and the feminine beauty standard being a literal child feels... very relevant right now, for some reason! www.youtube.com/watch?v=4zqm...

This is Calappa, the same crab that I made a pumpkin of (next skeet) and one of bluesky's favorite crabs. Not only does it run funny, it has an adorable face and its claws are specialized like a can opener for snails 🦀🦑

I taught at Alpha Writing Workshop just as AI was kicking off. My position was: if you want to write like everyone else, sure, shit it out w/LLM. But I can tell you now that your singular defining feature as a writer is how YOU remix your own inputs and experiences. No one else can do it like you 🤠

Once again, the skies will be entirely overcast. I hate this weather...

yusuke no he's just in love

So, finally managed to remove my Grammarly account for good. Oh wait, I forgot. My "Superhuman" account. Such a sad, unnecessary state of affairs. Can't wait for the AI hype to die. All I want is a good, adjustable grammar checker. Is that really too much to ask? Things keep getting worse.

So if a newspaper writes negatively about suspending Sarah Kendzior and Link, if a couple journalists get on this and ask you for statements, you'll finally talk to us about those wrongful bans and what your secret policy is?

Just putting this out there for fans of #glorantha since there seems to be a wealth of good information and illustrations in Carved in Stone (about the Picts, from their viewpoint) www.stoutstoat.co.uk/products/car...

The fastest I have ever clicked buy on anything...

No no no begs every archivist. You are never going to be able to find anything. Please don’t start using emojis in file names. Who asked for this? What fresh hell is next?

The folks at GenInt are real good people and they make real good games. I was lucky enough to do some very early worldbuilding stuff for their latest which is out soon and looks, yes, good. Great, even.

Imagine entering this new game space and finding out that not only does every single IP have a "The Rock cannot lose a fight" clause attached to their blorbos but it's also completely self imposed.

okay, seriously: if we were to corral this, would anyone be interested in contributing? Here is the google form: forms.gle/m2V4j4cDvwNu...

oh shit, that’s what it’s called where they tried to teach kids to “read” by “recognizing” whole words instead of actually reading even the premise is so wrong-headed it defies belief. “an expert does y” — but that doesn’t mean that’s how they started off!

And specifically in country. Remember Lil Nas X made his first single a country song *specifically* because it's currently the easiest chart to get on.

So looking at the actual SF chronicle article, the only place this song is accruing notice is on Spotify, which is easily gamed by bots. If I were an AI proponent who desperately needed to boost the validity of my investment, this is exactly what I’d do.

One of the funner moments from my South Africa trip occurred when these two little borbs decided to chase each other on the edge a lagoon. (They're Black Crakes, btw.)

I think the almost zealous commitment to 'Lore' and 'The Canon' that has risen over the past decade is the most frustrating and restrictive cultural movement we've seen, on par with how streaming means no one commissions tv beyond one series at a time anymore.
