Gassy

Too sleepy. 😔

Pneumonia vaccine today because I am a Victorian child.
We pray my side effects are not crazy like the Covid vaccine. 😭

I’ve made a massive spreadsheet for all my job applications.
It’s rough out here but we must be strong 😔

Literally.

I have survived.

This is the longest a vaccine has knocked me out.
My constitution was not made for the outside world.

I have felt better putting limits on social media BUT I can still feel my brain craving doomscrolling instead of doing things I WANT to do (art, job hunt, sewing,etc)
I want to escape the mindless consumption so bad.

It did actually take one of my nine lives.

Hot pot at home almost killed me

I get to see twice TWICE

AHH HAPPY BIRTH. ❤️🎊🎉

And rejected. Oh weelllll.

Me love pins.

I submitted my project at 2 am and woke up realizing I forgot my callouts for my garment CADS. Which the position is for a textile designer. And the creative director saw my hella detailed ones in my portfolio. BUT I can’t believe I forgot them.

Made it to the second round of interviews!

(This includes me making an entire collection for them in a week and meeting the creative director.)

I had a real interview for a real design job. I don’t know if I’ll move forward but it’s something.

AW HAPPY BDAY @alekivz.bsky.social

Dragoncon fomo is so real this year.

A painting of the Elven city of Rivendell, built on a waterwall. A tiny fellowship crosses the waterfall on a great arched bridge.

My vision of the city of Rivendell, complete with a tiny fellowship crossing the bridge as they embark upon their journey.

Big toe in your area

We do not talk about perfect world by Twice enough.

YAAAAAAA

Generative Al is being marketed as a tool designed to reduce or eliminate the need for developed, cognitive skillsets. It uses the work of others to simulate human output, except that it lacks grasp of nuance, contains grievous errors, and ultimately serves the goal of human beings being neurologically weaker due to the promise of the machine being better equipped than the humans using it would ever exert the effort to be. The people that use generative Al for art have no interest in being an artist; they simply want product to consume and forget about when the next piece of product goes by their eyes. The people that use generative Al to make music have no interest in being a musician; they simply want a machine to make them something to listen to until they get bored and want the machine to make some other disposable slop for them to pass the time with. The people that use generative Al to write things for them have no interest in writing. The people that use generative Al to find factoids have no interest in actual facts. The people that use generative Al to socialize have no interest in actual socialization. In every case, they've handed over the cognitive load of developing a necessary, creative human skillset to a machine that promises to ease the sweat equity cost of struggle. Using generative Al is like asking a machine to lift weights on your behalf and then calling yourself a bodybuilder when it's done with the reps. You build nothing in terms of muscle, you are not stronger, you are not faster, you are not in better shape. You're just deluding yourself while experiencing a slow decline due to self-inflicted atrophy.

re: generative AI

I have finally fully and accurately explained my problem with how it’s marketed and used.

And now, you can use it, too.

I don’t think you understand how much I missed the snack wrap.

One thing about @wrwlfgf.bsky.social and me is we will end up at a chain restaurant

And if I watch nonnas again. What then.

Idk about the old lady. We always heard of like a girl ghost on the side of the road. And like things in the woods I think. It used to have like no lights at all too so it was just dark spooky road.
