"They're trying to convince people they can't do the things they've been doing easily for years - to write emails, to write a presentation. Your daughter wants you to make up a bedtime story about puppies - to write that for you." We will get to the point, she says with a grim laugh, "that you will essentially become just a skin bag of organs and bones, nothing else. You won't know anything and you will be told repeatedly that you can't do it, which is the opposite of what life has to offer. Capitulating all kinds of decisions like where to go on vacation, what to wear today, who to date, what to eat. People are already doing this. You won't have to process grief, because you'll have uploaded photos and voice messages from your mother who just died, and then she can talk to you via AI video call every day. One of the ways it's going to destroy humans, long before there's a nuclear disaster, is going to be the emotional hollowing-out of people." - author and filmmaker Justine Bateman from a piece by Emine Saner for the Guardian

Grief was hitting hard this morning. I wish I bought ice cream on the way home.

I am writing 🫨 and powered by monster drinks 🥴

On the other side I wrote 500 words about Inspirational Readings, inspired by discussion with Pam Punzalan❤️

Not wearing any make up today because I woke up and decided to pic only one struggle (my hair)

@guyintheblackhat.bsky.social hiya can I send you an email please? Blue sky isn’t letting me into my messages 😩

The coffee is getting to meeeeeee. Yes I have sent all my silly emails but at what cost. How do you people do this every day? My brain is running away.

People are lonelier than ever, so here is a robot you can talk to. It won't make you less lonely but it will drive you insane. That will be five thousand dollars.

A kid in my class said “children are dumb.” There was silence for a moment, then another kid whispered “you have no respect for your own kind”
