I like stuff. (For real tho: VP of Engineering, obsessed with addressing issues of bias in hiring processes, feminist SJW.)

@dan-sinnamon.bsky.social There's an account on Bluesky under MK's name that is evidently not run by her but posts some of her more interesting takes, if that is of interest to you: @megkeene.bsky.social

Alternatively, you could use WordArt

I'm not even joking!
This is literally cooler, aesthetics be like that

AI art is so rancid it caused a cultural inversion

I started working on a monochrome coloring book (by a real person, not AI) to battle my ever-present, ADHD-fueled "doing two things at once, both poorly"itis. Turns out that working on it is fucking up my neck/trapezius muscles, hence fucking up my sleep, making my ADHD worse. This feels unfair.

2013 Alison and 2026 Alison wonder: what is Bryan Adams doing on Glass Tiger's "Don't Forget Me When I'm Gone"? Other songs I often wonder about: Matthew Sweet on Lloyd Cole's "Weeping Wine", Michael McDonald on Christopher Cross's "Ride Like The Wind", Aimee Mann on Rush's "Time Stands Still."

I'm not sure if you've ever seen Derry Girls, but if you like that sort of thing, Saoirse-Monica Jackson wears a number of incredible outfits in this series (How To Get To Heaven From Belfast). Truly stunning.

I will check them out! I'm sorry for being that One Person Online who asks you pointed questions and yet has done no work to inform themself on your existing stories and work on this topic -- I'll remedy that today. I appreciate you being rad about it 😀

< Specifically, the transcript excludes the questions you asked that tried to separate anecdote from data, which is where her claim of being targeted falls apart. When paired with her then hyperbolizing things that happened that she DOCUMENTED ONLINE HERSELF, she is an unreliable narrator *at best*.

I appreciate you sharing that context. I think the AI transcript may be part of the problem. I also feel that Meg's framing is consistent with a decades-long online record of centering herself as a victim, and less about lifting up Jewish artists, which makes it hard to see the underlying trend. >

... So now, I feel like the repair is worth it, as opposed to being the possible waste of money that a flat rate repair could be! And thus concludes this boring tale.

... I really don't want to buy a new one (or new set?). The error seemed like something I could fix myself, with an $8 part. Took it apart, turned out that that wasn't the issue. Tested the shit out of everything else and realized that the cost of a new PCB equals the cost of the repair all-in. ...

Me (threatening to take a solo vacation): I'd climb to the top of a pyramid but they'd probably shoot me off cause you're not supposed to do that. 17yo: They have guns? Me: Well, they did back then. It was weird to see guards walking around with giant rifles, but that was 25 years ago. 17yo: Unc.

I have problematic vestibular issues; I take 3 different meds before flying and it still makes me super naseous. Then there was turbulence... so to the lady who got mad at me for standing when the seat belt light went off & folk deplaned b/c "what if there's a medical emergency", MA'AM THAT'S ME.

Started reading Justin's book sitting in Las Vegas airport and immediately teared up at the dedication, then at the intro, so I guess I'm not reading this on the flight.
