Work in Progress

1999: VCs and brokers approached me with maybe an $11B deal/ I just remembered my basic values, and I turned them down

Not being altruistic, just basic

Things have worked out better than I thought, by the time I pass, guessing my total contribution to stuff I believe in will be around one billion

Similar thing for me today with a coworker...only the customer says it's still not done. So now it's like, who do I demand proof from? The coworker I can't get to respond, or the customer I just probably lied to inadvertently, who's already annoyed that it was broken?

Grrrr.... but yes, glad it's DONE.

I, too, am team Boolean-or-die.

I scanned the article for that, finally. Cause it seemed to be a premise. But I didn't see it stated as a premise. And that left it reading like a really weird article to me!

Many people want to go out on dates that do not result in sex. That's not something men need helpful tips to overcome.

I am, perhaps tin-foil-hattedly, convinced that regular search is being purposely degraded in order to make the AI response seem better. I mean, if you genuinely can no longer get the answer yourself, you'll have to use AI, right?

This article is kind of nonsense. Sure, it may be true for some women. But it's written like it cracks some magical code. There are plenty of women who don't want any of these things. And checking all these boxes isn't necessarily sufficient even for women who do want these things.

It's about fit.

This. Most people I know think GPT is a search engine that provides answers conversationally.

They uncritically believe it is searching all available info, and sifting and measuring it for accuracy, and then responding.

Can I be a contributor? I could never be a tomboy with this elaborately female body and dislike of physical activity. But I also never feel less like a woman than when I have to wear a dress and makeup. Like, clunk clunk where the hell do I put my arms and why can't I just sit normally?

If you are having issues with art theft, please get in touch with Justice 4 Artists. I have been working with them for a year and we just finished taking down 100 shops that were stealing and selling my work. No up front cost and they are an awesome team to work with. I will do a full write up soon.

But why is this being framed like the real problem with housing costs is that it (supposedly) impacts family size? Having more kids isn't necessary. Housing is. That quote is deeply icky.

Definitely the best time to remember that embarrassing thing you said once.

I think 11pm on a Sunday is the perfect time to inform you all that Sonic's Spring Yard Zone's groove is pretty much just "Turn Your Love Around" by George Benson.

Wait, why is she bad? Is this some kind of Stonn stan account?

I've been doing this podcast internally during my Xena rewatch, too.

We can reach the stars.

My pale ass hand holding out three small red perfect strawberries above the kitchen countertop and floor.

Tell me strawberry season never ends, so I'll keep going to the farmers market on Saturdays.

It's not every day we're gonna be the same way.

Ok, I made it through. Tissue box returned to its normal spot.

1997-me is still crying, though.

Brb, melting into Kevin Smith. 🫠

Hudson Leick is so absolutely fantastic.

(It's half empty already from The Debt and Maternal Instincts. 😭 Season 3...wow.)

So here it is.

I'm up to The Bitter Suite in my Xena rewatch. Yes, I have my box of tissues nearby.

I'm so grateful you mentioned the designer's name! I've been seeing @kinkster69.bsky.social in the 🧶 feeds in his, too, but I couldn't find the pattern. Woohoo!

Card can be used to yell into a canyon

If you're fucking with that mid wizard book shit, you're directly funding the attempted extermination of trans people the world over.

So, maybe don't do that. 🤨

Sometime I'll pick one side, and let myself believe it's what I'm going to do, and see if I rebel against the thought.

A Room of One's Own, but for outdoor space where you can't be immediately seen from 5 neighbors' houses.

I used to hide bags of peanut M&Ms in M's luggage, so he'd find them when he got to the hotel all tired and grumpy. This blows that out of the water.
