people are justifying their AI use with “well, any tech you use uses data centers.”

it’s like drag racing a hummer and saying it’s the same as commuting in a prius.

@virgomars21.bsky.social who would yours be

If you’re new to bluesky you should find and account you like and pretend it’s your wife. Show its posts to your coworkers and be like I love her so much

i think to be loved and loving others might be the meaning of life

A page from The Dispossessed by Ursula K. Le Guin with a quote underlined: "what more can you share than your whole self, your whole life, all the nights and all the days?"

I think this might be my new favorite book? The Dispossessed by Ursula K. Le Guin. Exactly what I needed to read in this moment about partnership, about society, and about our mutual responsibility to one another.

None of us can do everything but each of us can do SOMETHING.

I want to once again encourage everyone who can to take advantage of opportunities to gather with others in person. It's more important than ever. It was wonderful to be with folks today at Communiversity. We'll be back at it next Saturday. Join in if interested.

I keep my car very clean. There's usually nothing in it. Today is an exception. If someone breaks in, they will get cabbage.

are you even in my life if I don't talk about you in therapy

Presenter: ‘Hey, you should use AI’

Me:

traditional media might suck, but that doesn’t mean social media is the better alternative. we desperately need to rebuild a robust media system or we’re fucked.

Very cool. Excited to read yours!

Hmm bullshit abundance? I wonder who you could be referencing 👀

Congratulations on publication!!

I love writing in coffee shops because I have trouble concentrating if I'm not overhearing the stupidest person in the world talk to the second stupidest person in the world.

Yeah I feel like MSFT Word autocorrect is so much worse than it used to be. All of its grammar and word replacement suggestions have been plain wrong for me lately.

Friends. Sunset. Puget Sound. What more could I ask for? #seattle #nature

pretty much the best feeling in the world to have someone find joy and distraction in something you made

Pants with deep pockets. That's all.

One of the most important things when it comes to controlling what happens in the future is controlling what people are allowed to imagine today.

Choir nerds assemble!! Love singing in the Bellevue Chamber Chorus. 💙🎵

The frenglish in this house is crazy. My husband just said "I need to faire the thing. Afterwards je come back." #French #français #francoamericain

It should be needless to say, but it is perhaps at this moment worth saying, that transgender individuals have the same right as anyone else to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

I got my first request from a literary agent for sample chapters 🥺 #writersky

“Not only AI enthusiasts, but even some scholars whose expertise concentrates on identifying and critically interrogating ideologies and sociotechnical relationships (…) unfortunately fall prey to the teleological belief that AI is an unstoppable force.” — zenodo.org/records/1706...

Oh wow the unfriending I'm doing bc of how ppl are responding to Charlie Kirk's death...

Honestly, it's my fault for assuming young women in STEM would be progressive. Can't expect more from white women atp.

Reading about this brought to mind a piece I wrote two years ago, inspired by one of my favourite authors.

Ursula K. Le Guin emphasized that there’s a big difference “between production of a market commodity and the practice of an art.” OpenAI’s AI-generated movie offers us nothing.

A refusal to seriously address racism is why everyone is here. I don't know what to tell you.
