You can add up all the enjoyable pursuits of LLMs and the work productivity hacks and none of them, separately or together, will be more important than AI’s ecological costs or political disruption.

β€œWe” is more important here.

Just read a book where the most unbelievable thing wasn't the ghosts but the full kitchen gut renovation only taking a month

Hundreds (thousand?) of people lining the streets in Fairbanks Saturday morning. What a difference between this boisterous and enthusiastic crowd and the few dour counter-protesters driving by in their substitutes for masculinity.

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

If you're at a Southern university/institution that is closing your LGBTQ or DEI/DEIA offices please reach out to us. We are helping people preserve their department's archival history and will work with you to help ensure folks remain anonymous.

revising is like the kombucha girl meme - 99% β€œew, who wrote that” followed by 1% β€œhey hey, who wrote that"

She looks so much like my dog! She was the best girl, so by transitive property, Leia is also the best girl

Couldn't sleep, so I wrote 1277 words for #mini1000 between 12 and 1:30am. Haven't decided if those count for yesterday or today

1336 for today's #mini1000 so far. Trying to get through 50k of revision so I'd like to do more than 1000 -- feasible since it's revision rather than drafting -- but I'll take every k I can get

Fucking terrible.

Once, Harriet Beecher Stowe and George Eliot's had a big fight when spiritualist Stowe's claimed she'd summoned Charlotte BrontΓ«'s ghost. Frankly, I'd rather have that. (Charlotte would never)

It made me physically ill following updates from the Supreme Court today. Sending love to trans people, trans kids especially, and their families because… whew. Enduring this kind of hostility is an experience us cisgender will never fully understand.

This is totally "posting through it" behavior for which I'll inaccurately blame the drugs later, but the little automatic compression sleeves the hospital had put on my calves make me feel like Baymax every time they inflate

Library stacks at the University of Michigan.

These places are enchanted spaces and I love them. It's here that you'll find the old, forbidden, forgotten, dusty books of trouble, rebellion, resistance, and knowledge. This place doesn't care about bestsellers, face-out displays, etc.

A frozen corn plant sits crumpled in the snow, lit by the pink grow light coming through the window. A predawn dark blue sky is overhead. The soil is coated in invisible dead gnats.

The earlier newspaper/theater/band kid discourse has made me more excited for my current writing project about witchy, horny, and queer band/newspaper/theater kids taking on the man
