Hafsah

For the evening crowd...

New Writing and Whatnot blog post all about my workflow and the sites I use instead of Substack.

You do you, but I don't like supporting hate speech. You can't say there isn't another way... I'm giving them to you here. writingandwhatnot.com/blog/diy-new...

Casually ordering $70 worth of gummy candy so I can feel something.

Pineapple Peelerz will fix everything

Maybe HAL 9000 was just the tech bros with chatbots we side-eyed along the way

"But Hafsah, your ethics??" I know. I KNOW.

Trust me. I know.

I've managed to "vibe code" up a slop blog and will now put the entirety of my screams about AI, LLMs and all that fun stuff there.

It is a twisted art project, equal parts self flagellation about being a user of AI apps, and morbid thrill at what they *could* do.

I am an orange and my juice has been squeezed. There’s nothing left.

Give me a strong edible and leave me to merge with a couch.

HAL 9000, SKYNET, stop fighting, we can make this relationship work. There’s enough ocean to drain for both of you

I am tired of all of the goddamn snow

imagine going to the past and telling people that someday they'll have to deal with something called a "spam bot" sending inane messages to them at all hours of the day on a rectangle that contains your most personal information

donations not required but always appreciated

These assholes think "computer, enhance" from their TV shows is for real.

Ann Arbor/Ypsi: Nextdoor just lit up with ICE activity at WCC not a half hour ago. Neighbors are rightly incensed; someone's daughter was there when it happened.

If you're in SE Michigan and mobilized, please @ me so that I may amplify your posts. How can we best help? Mutual aid? Virtual options?

Out of curiosity, I visited the website because I am a slut for overpriced aviators and am excited to now be fed ads for ultrapremium European brand sunglasses I will never afford

Calling Greg Bovino a "b*tch" raises thousands for Minn. immigrant rights Spearheaded by The Handbasket, $18k+ in donations were made to spite the CBP commander.

New— I wrote about the amazing success of the Greg Bovino Bitch Fund Benefiting Immigrant Rights in Minnesota (more than $18k raised just from bluesky!!!), how people far and wide are inspired by the fighting spirit, and why I feel it’s my duty as a journalist to use my platform for material change:

Clowns to the left of me, jokers to my right.

One more thought:

- The "Terms & Conditions" page should have an "I can't read" switch (like the dark/light mode button) that highlights all the important stuff.

More thoughts:

- The unsubscribe button should be big.
- The cancellation policy should always include a full or MINIMUM partial refund
- The subscribe button should default to "weekly/monthly" not "annual"
- Nothing should be in super teeny text except for the copyright info

Just a thought: Software vendors who have obtuse subscription cancellation policies can fuck themselves forever. Let the whole business crash and burn, yes I am that petty.

Noooooo. These damn flus. Speedy recovery!!

This is what will have to happen a lot more this year for the general population's vibes to start changing in America.

Nobody cares when Carlos, Shonda or Ahmed get arrested. But when Jessica, Carol and Mike from the local brewery start getting picked up for speaking out, shit *will* get real.

seeing "(deactivated)" next to the name of a colleague you really liked in Slack is low key so traumatizing

At this point the best we can hope for is skynet to emerge.

People babbling about what's "legal" and how there are "processes" for things and a "constitution" when this is the current unimpeded state of american governance

Arrakis. Dune. Desert planet.

New year tip: If you have no expectations you can’t be disappointed. Viva la vida

This weekend, we're rewatching the entire LOTR saga, all Hobbit films included. 😩

The hope was to passively enjoy some fluffy fantasy escapism. We didn't realize it was a prescient critique of fascism and how even the smallest person can change the course of a trump dictatorship
