*radically worse [see: idiot-proofing needed]

Omg wtf… this is so bad! I used to use grammarly as an idiot-proofing measure but I feel it’s gotten radically worst since LLMs hit the scene anyway 🤦

was the grink there?

trying to refresh my LinkedIn, professional Bluesky, etc etc. but god, do I find it exhausting to post using my Work Personality!!

what the fuck is wrong with everyone!!

an ai-generated image which is a flowchart with "machiinnn leriing" at the bottom (more or less. I'm not sure all of these are even, exactly, letters)

a snippet of a blueprint-style image, also clearly ai generated. labels on the image read "popolation" and "ponulatition genetics" in uneven letters

another ai-generated blueprint style image. the caption says "----PPING" [not a word] and "Michan mpreing" [more or less]. there's a misshapen image of a wheel and a scribbly drawing which looks a bit like a fern.

oh let's see what my committee member's website looks like, maybe I can use it to get some ideas for updating my own. oh...... oh...... okay....

I got really annoyed with Cormac McCarthy's dialogue style in college when I had The Road as assigned reading but I think I might have only been pissed off bc I had like, one evening to read the book before class.

got a Kindle for my birthday (!!) and a 2.99 ebook copy of No Country for Old Men and guys can I be frank with you. I do not have that great a feeling about how things are going down in that book! I think things might not be okay for these guys.

the un/lucky bear is now up in my inprnt shop, as well as lots of other cool art that YOU could own :0) wow

A digital drawing of a little vintage-style teddy bear marching along. He has a flag that says “lucky loser” with a blue ribbon under. He is about to slip on a banana peel, and is covered in band-aids, including one that looks like an L on his forehead. He’s thrown dice that look like they will be snake eyes. He's surrounded by stars and swirls. Text says "born to lose, forced to win, 加油 win 'em all 1997, I am fortunate guy, 410,757,864,530 good lucks."

"Professor White Boy " has perished. They found him self harmed at the bottom of an elevator shaft. Thanks for the fucking smiles, Professor

genuinely so upset about the sad dog Katie drew (lrt)… his patched blankie!!! not even a single bone for the him!!!

a very simple drawing of a sad cartoon dog, crying on a patched blanket. Uneven, hand-drawn text around it says “sorry I asked. Sorry I was even born. Why don’t you just take me back to the pound?”

That's 100% why I created leavesubstack.com -- got tired of re-hashing the points; wanted to make a simple 1-pager.

hastily drawn cartoon comic w four panels. The first shows a very normal looking lady with a Stanley and a shirt with a candy heart that says “dry hump” on it. The second panel is me, a library worker w green hair and baby bangs, my eyes bugging out of my head. The third panel is the same as the first, except the shirt says “dump him” now, which it actually did say all along. The last panel is the same as the second, except I’m making a face of shell-shocked understanding.
