AI used for writing has this kinda hard to pin down but clearly nonhuman cadence and just feels so manufactured like living in a very plastic disposable world that I do not want to be a part of.

I do like that it takes questions better than google if I’m coding solo or trying to learn a new concept, but overall it’s not worth much.

It can be useful for coding in limited circumstances, like setting up a new project or troubleshooting but only with the understanding that it will be wrong a lot.
It’s mostly a scraper so sometimes faster than looking through stack overflow…

One of the worst things that social media commentary has done has been to comvince oppressed people that we don't need each other.

Knowing who to be mad at really is praxis.

It is not possible to shield children from vaccines.

Vaccines are the shield.

These parents are quite literally choosing NOT to shield their children - from disease.

I didn’t vote for any incumbents on city council because I’m so over city council.

Going to vote.

Don’t forget to vote if it’s that day for you.

Primary elections here on the local level - let’s gooooo democracy!

Trying and making a mistake is 100x better than not trying.

My relationship with my dad includes a lot of humor, and although ofc I wish he’d gotten it all right, the fact that he is trying this hard means a lot.

This situation is like a combination of all the bad things about Bluesky and X and it’s so fucking stupid.

I once tried to make this point to a much bigger account than myself who was calling people in the Administration “monsters”.

I got a response of like: point taken but I’m still going to call them monsters.

I asked if he’d ever been called a monster. Because y’know as a trans person…

No response.

After asking nicely for *years* and more recently pushing with a bit more honest frustration - my father today for the first time in my entire life referred to me as his son.

In the next sentence he misgendered me twice, which surely confused the ppl I was introduced to.
I’m taking the win anyway.

Yes it is.

Twitch Twitch is the world

About to go live on Twitch with @burytheriver.bsky.social to talk about Kansas criminalizing trans people and war and.. y’know like whatever else has been going on this week

One of my main objectives today is the simple task of walking a fence line in the woods and I’m really looking forward to it, tbh.

Give me trees and woods and simple things to ponder for a bit. Good for the soul.

Fuck those guys

I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to

Not explaining. Just concurring.
Yes.

Either way ppl end up circling these takes like vultures do carrion, looking for the best bite.
And everyone gets upset with ppl they’ll never meet, spend hours titillating their brains with absolute fodder, doing nothing that actually helps any cause.
And at the end we’re even further divided.

One of the major pitfalls of social media is the dogpiling.
Accounts of any size are run by fallible people and not all opinions are good.
Whether it’s a big account with a bad take, or a small account that’s pushed up by the algorithm- dogpiling is a dopamine fueled shitstorm that never ends well..

Know someone who calls it his “man juice” 🧪

I’ve never seen this and feel that I should rectify that

Smashed my thumb real good with a hammer today. Same hand that’s still recovering two ruptured tendons. Because I’m trying not to hammer with that hand.
Whoops. 😅

Black and white photo of Marjane Satrapi with the quote: "The world is not divided between East and West. You are American. I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same."

Once again.

Really going for my Grandpa’s ideals of manhood:
- build things
- fight Nazis
- respect women
- take care of community
