Anyway, AI is a managerial technology that came out of fields where researchers act more like managers than researchers and this is not a coincidence. It’s fundamentally related to why certain people jumped at the chance to try to build certain kinds of systems that devalued (other people’s) work.

Western snowy plover passes major recovery milestone. In the US the threatened Western snowy plover has surpassed 3,000 breeding birds. The population has risen steadily driven by habitat restoration, predator management and coordinated conservation work. FWS buff.ly/Dfr9sAB #ShareGoodNewsToo

Ah, its that nice inclement weather where the air is wet and cool but its not raining and i dont feel like such a weirdo for my emoilliently oiled arms.

The sky cleared, is cooling And the sunset faded into grey. Currawongs swoop in redolent arcs between apartment buildings, cutting dark & silent diagonal swathes over wet pavement. A clarion call just like a siren echoes. A chorus of noisy miners insist jealous surveillance And cicadas, repeating.

Hard relate…but is this not the nature of most research?

In the future we thought we’d be smarter. We thought by merely recognising that we stand on the shoulders of giants that we would grow into giants ourselves. We didn’t expect the boss’ budget to stop at mini-models of a select few, and never all of us.

I feel like the 17th century English space program run by Oliver Cromwell's brother-in-law has the potential to become a history meme

My favorite art history genre is "Judith beheading Holofernes"

Gastro The body kept score last Friday The multitudes, and my gorge rose, they'd Had a gutful. I was expecting to solve myself With sharp excision Sweet clean limits. Not this visceral, insistent firehose of Hot cloying personal muck Staining plans, ruining lies. Fine, one thing at a time then.

What?! Gustav Holst’s Planets suite was actually a paean to ASTROLOGY and not an exultation of the scientific tradition by way of lyrical odes to gods of antiquity? #orchestral #composers

Is contemporary fiction genre “Historical/ Myths” for real? Seeing personal faves Chandran’s Chai Time at Cinnamon Gardens, and Lukashenko’s Edenglassie, felt jarring inside a mythic category in my Library. I been doing some taxonomic work today so perhaps I’m primed for critique.

This is genius. The aspirations of a macro-manager!

I have decided to name my cello after Eugéne Ionesco. Whether she is Ionesca or he turns out to be Eugénietta remains to be seen. I needed a strong Romanian name for this Gliga 1. #cello

Finally back to embroidery, planning to do a celebration of my sister and her husband and kids with some very very simple faces. Everyone in the family has very different skin/hair so it should be a fun challenge.

Patchouli Girl isn't wrong, but as a former pro in the anti-SA/DV movement, I want to point out that it's somewhat more complex. It is **human** to blame oneself for trauma, bc **if it was something I did that means I can prevent being attacked in the future.** It's a way to reassert autonomy.

The excellent thing about having a kid who is getting a better education that you did means you can learn things, like disambiguating metaphor from adjective and other figurative language devices.

I’m enjoying sitting in an armchair with the warm sun on my shoulders, marvelling at sewing, birds, leatherwork and critical inquiry threading together through friends and family and artistic devices. A cold oat coffee on my lap (not bad!) Oh yes. I’m avoiding music practice because it’s holidays.

Gorgeous, and my drawing fanatic kiddo is up in all caps at the poignant tender beauty here.

I’ve got one chip in my gob, and another 3 stuck on the bottom of my goddamn left claw!

“All authors are using AI now” Not true! I grew up with a deeply critical Indian mother, free floating guilt and debilitating imposter syndrome are the stuff of my daily life so I couldn’t even if I wanted to

Aaaaaaaaaah!!!

Dramatic swell at Freshwater Beach (closed) yesterday. Later I watched 3 dickheads swimming down the far end. They eventually got out after multiple hails from beach patrol. Imagine if a lifeguard drowned trying to save them.
