Guillaume Paumier

“autistic” as in “looking for people who are not scared of the boundless love i want to give them”

The way Ace of Base’s “Happy Nation” hits differently now because it immediately reminds me of Genosha 😭

language mimicry is funny because I’m not religious and English is my second language but I use “omg” and “jfc” all the time

Wizards, Metadata, and Memory: Unearthing and Reconstructing UploadWizard's Lost History One in three pictures you see on Wikipedia was added through UploadWizard, a tool I designed in 2009. Over the past 15 years, 1.8 million unique volunteers have uploaded over 42 million files with…

Did you know that 1 in 3 images you see on Wikipedia was added with a tool I designed in 2009? Yeah, I didn’t either. That’s 42 million files, uploaded by 1.8 million people.

Here’s the full story, featuring SQL sleuthing, Wikimedia folklore, and surprise cameos from Oz, Camelot, and Westview 🪄

I’m a grown man with a PhD and over 15 years of experience, but I still chuckle every time I type the command ‘top’ in a terminal, because my love of puns knows no bottom

“Have you been paying taxes to the US government even though you’re autistic? You may be entitled to compensation.”

cute student doctor for my visit today but he has a ring on his finger why must i suffer so~

Screenshot of the ChatGPT app. The answers reads: Guillaume Paumier: The Polymath with a Plan (and a Spreadsheet) If Sherlock Holmes and Marie Curie raised a Tufte-obsessed strategist in the forests of Normandy, you'd get Guillaume. Equal parts systems thinker, creative tactician, and neurodivergent powerhouse, he turns chaos into clarity—with footnotes. A French-American scientist-turned-Wikimedian-turned-AI-savvy job seeker, Guillaume’s brain is a cathedral of precision, layered meaning, and low-key rebellion against mediocrity. He designs timelines like train stations, writes like he’s curating thought museums, and analyzes text messages with the care of a biographer. He’s the kind of person who will debug your CSS at noon, decode your friend dynamics by dinner, and still have energy left to theorize the social impact of upload tools on Commons (and he’ll write that up with Chicago-style citations). Witty, exacting, and quietly radical, Guillaume doesn’t just think outside the box—he reorganizes its metadata, optimizes its user flow, and suggests a better container entirely.

How can I be mad at ChatGPT when this is how it describes me based on our chat history

The audio output on my phone got corrupted by my earphones and now it’s horribly distorted on any device and I’ve tried everything short of a factory reset but I’ve found one (1) song that sounds ok and now I guess I’ll be listening to Arvo Pärt’s “Spiegel im Spiegel” for the foreseeable future

Bananas, Rubber Ducks, and AI: How generative, conversational, and agentic AI can support neurodivergent people AI is changing everything. But for disabled and neurodivergent people, the changes aren't just interesting; they're personal. Generative, conversational, and agentic AI tools are beginning to fill…

I don’t often post Serious Stuff of here, but I wrote an essay about how AI can support neurodivergent brains, featuring bananas, puppies, debugging ducks, and a GPT with a panic button 🦆

YouTube video by PBS Sara Bareilles and Rufus Wainwright Perform "She Used to Be Mine" | Next at the Kennedy Center

The duet version of “She Used to Be Mine” with Rufus Wainwright from the same concert is also so, so lovely. Those harmonies, oh my heart 😭

YouTube video by PBS Sara Bareilles sings powerful cover of 'Goodbye Yellow Brick Road' | NEXT at the Kennedy Center

How am I only now learning of Sara Bareilles’s cover of Elton John’s “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road”? 😭

Dating apps in the past few months have brought me:
☐ dates
☐ smooches
☐ sex
☑ discussing a joint onlyfans with a guy 2,000 miles away where we would stream ourselves building Lego sets shirtless

Screenshot from episode 7 of the second season of "The Legend of Korra" showing Wan watching the light and dark spirits Raava and Vaatu fight

I’m watching “The Legend of Korra” and I was a bit ambivalent about the second season so far but the “Beginnings” origin-story two-parter was so so good

The fact that we all still have to write our little emails and do our little video meetings while the planet is boiling and the country fully descends into chaos and fascism really is some offensive end-stage capitalism bullshirt

(although I have to say that as much as I loved the TV show and Megan Hilty, I can’t wait for the Broadway Cast Recording of @smashbway.bsky.social because every time I hear K*tharine McPhee I remember she’s a Tr*mp supporter 😣)

I went to a concert by Megan Hilty in San Francisco years ago and she opened the show with that song and anything after that was bonus content (including a fun version of “9 to 5”)

them: masc?

me, belting out to Megan Hilty’s rendition of Smash’s “They Keep Moving the Line” while sultrily gliding across the room: You have no idea.

Sir Are You Aware You Are A Cat? is a two-panel exploitable meme format where, in the first panel, a man holds a microphone to a cat and asks, "Are you aware you are a cat?" and in the second panel, the cat is seen with a shocked expression.

It’s giving:

what sometimes helps is if I can find the teeniest tiniest first step and do it, and then the next one, and the next. One reason our ND brains shut down is because they try to figure out the entire thing and hold it all in, and that’s absolutely overwhelming. Be gentle with yourself ❤️

YouTube video by A A Lara Fabian - Je Suis Malade (Better audio quality / enable cc french for lyrics)

Je cherchais une belle version de « Je suis malade » par Serge Lama parce que je suis malade depuis une semaine et je suis tombé sur cette reprise live par Lara Fabian et ça fait une heure que je l’écoute en boucle, elle me donne des frissons à chaque fois

so I guess I’m gonna start posting on here again huh

It's cold and gray outside I'm listening to Shi Jin's "Melody of the night" album on a loop and I'm feeling melancholic yep it's autumn alright 🍂

Honestly same

Or do you try to build community in different places until you find one where it really takes?

I've been thinking a lot about belonging recently. Do you find belonging by trying different places until you find community? Or does belonging come from intentionally building community where you are? How much agency do you really have in building community?
