Hazel is still disabled in a pandemic

Had an interview today where nobody talked about AI.

Nature is healing.

My now estranged mother told me I'd get exactly what I deserved when I had kids of my own. You know what, I think she might have been right.

I kiss my baby and he leans back into me for more kisses. He makes his little kissy noises back at me as he walks away to play. I love being a parent.

They don't know it yet, but each of them is just about to meet the undergrad of their dreams

Imagine if Americans cared as much about Palestinian lives as they do about late night comedy

These guys are unpopular and dumb as rocks, they did not discover a secret 'I win' button at the heart of all politics labeled 'mean tweets' or 'cancel elections.'

Keep speaking, keep writing, keep marching, keep voting, force them to show the country what they are.

Your children are refusing to go to school because you let them contract a deadly virus which is now causing them horrible disabilities. They're right to refuse this.

Right... the place we know he hates spending his time at

Wait what's going on?

Fun fact: did you know that Long Covid is now more common in children than asthma?

"haha i just got caught up in-" shut up. i didn't get called a bully and a luddite for months just to welcome you dummies back into the fold. i know you're all hoping everyone will forget but not this bitch

This is still a running joke in our house

My child is going to be made homeless because of fucking gamergate.

I just failed my sixth round of applications, all of which got right to the last stages. I don't know what to do anymore. I'm genuinely not okay. My family will be homeless soon and it's all my fault.

You know LLMs aren't a real technology because there are no furry prompt engineers

"You are just fundamentally bad as a person, and you already know why" is not professional feedback.

I've spent the last 13 years of my life begging these people to tell me what's wrong with me so I can fix it, and being met only with scalding silence. At a certain point, you have to decide that even if you are a terrible person and don't know it, you don't have the information to change that fact.

My soft collagen-deficient fingernails have more resilience than most people who are sailing through this crisis with their jobs intact. Which seems to be everybody I know in tech except me. I'd wonder what's wrong with me, but I know there's no answer coming and no way to fix myself for them.

Getting lectures on resilience and grit from people who've only ever been out of work voluntarily while their parents were paying the bills.

Sex pest freak failson fuckup conspiracy plan, tbh

Whenever someone gets mad at me for questioning the net usefulness of AI and says something like “you’re like the people who didn’t want to use the internet”—with love, I was born in 1997, and my life growing up online is all the evidence I need that we should handle AI differently than we are now

But yeah this is what having friends who work in tech is like. That industry removes your brain.

Some friendships really just run their course.

"If I were facing impending homelessness I would simply get good at LLMs" is actual advice I received today

"Companies won't hire you because you're so scary and intimidating and controversial and opinionated! Try being a bit more subdued and maybe then people will like you a bit more."

Me: a quiet, nice person who's good at computers 🫠

(Mulder tosses Scully a folder) "...have you ever heard about bisexuals?"

Not even their own. They’re broken people all the way down as deep as it goes.

It’s because to them life has no inherent value.
