Walked into a room and promptly forgot why I had entered. Spent several minutes trying to figure it out then gave up. Folks, it was my ADHD meds. 😑

Me, doing assigned reading: This is great. I could write a 2000 word response here and now. Me, 24 hours later, in class: ... This author had a point, yeah?

ADHD is such a weird experience, once you know what you're looking at. What do you mean that the same thing I was making rapid progress on yesterday is now hot lava to even attempt?

Someone should invent a phone app that shuffles your app icons overnight so that when you reflexively go to open social media, you instead get your flashcards app. Half the time I'm opening Bluesky just to fidget anyway. Might as well be productive.

Today I found some paper drafts of the earliest echoes of my novel series. I stored them thinking one day I would turn them into a proper story. I am pleased to report my feeling rereading them is now more cringe than “hope I can write it someday”. The series is apparently coming along well! 😂

Photo of a part of the sticker wall, near the gum wall in Seattle. A large glued poster of a cat holding a sign reads, “A.I. IS DẠTA

CREATIVITY IS TRYING TO SEE WHERE WE CAN GO.”

I am only one week's assigned reading into this semester's philosophy class and already I can tell this is going to be one of those ones where I want to peel off my skin and ascend from humanity by the end. Which is to say... good stuff!

Finally was able to sit down and try this out. I had a few records floating around in my repo from testing sites that I wanted to remove. The UI of Aturi made it VERY easy to do so. Definitely something to keep bookmarked.

Because to me, fantasy isn’t wishful thinking, but a way of reflecting, and reflecting on reality.

One of my cats, absolute sweetheart of a boy, is afraid of everything. That includes heavy rain. So I've spent the past 20 minutes on the floor with him, sitting between him and the windows, making sure he knows the rain will get me first.

When I was nearing the end of college, it felt like every conversation about my interests and what I was doing with my time was hinged entirely on the notion of "how does that earn you money?" That persisted through my 20s.

Writing is bs sometimes. What do you mean I can invent entire worlds, birth people into existence, and solve complex confrontations with simply the power of my own mind but the dishes still need doing?

You will die. You will not live forever. Nor will any man nor any thing. Nothing is immortal. But only to us is it given to know that we must die. And that is a great gift: the gift of selfhood. For we have only what we know we must lose, what we are willing to lose.

Playing #FFXIV outside the MSQ is a wild ride. There are online calculators for everything. Gardening, fishing, crafting… I tripped into the wild world of FC submarines for the first time tonight and there are whole sites out there for it.

I wrapped up the core structure of the conlang that will appear in my novel series. Most of it will never show on page but a) it gives more cultural information on the speakers and b) if anyone ever tries to show the language in video, at least it has consistency now! #WeeknightWriters

I keep having to remind myself that authors throughout history have written masterpieces during tumultuous times. Artists have always had to struggle with the balance of acting for the greater good and creating their works. If they can do, so can we. #WeeknightWriters

I'm doing ok on the writing front. Been stressful on a few other fronts, but that makes me write a lot more, so I'll take it.

Hello #WeeknightWriters! I've made the daring decision this week to go back and *gasp* actually finish the START of my novel (I do not write linearly) and make it an actual thing that builds the world and shows the plot and all that.

Rewatched End of Evangelion in theaters tonight. Much more visceral experience in a crowd. It doesn't flinch, sometimes in the best ways, sometimes in the worst. But it refuses to hand you clean answers or comfort and there's something really good about that.

Sorry, but there's only one live action adaptation of The Odyssey that could ever be considered the best.
Screen capture from an episode of the TV series Wishbone. A dog (Wishbone) in Ancient Greek armor sits atop a table, facing a man in a toga.

I have a real talent for booking trips on the exact weekends of cities' pride events. wrote about the strange feeling of walking against that flow last month, and what survives when you hand a feeling like that to fiction.

Unironically, when GPS was first becoming widespread, I asked why people would want that, as it’d keep them from learning how to get places. Since then I’ve realized the benefit of seeing where traffic is. 🤪 But I still try to make sure I learn routes I think I will take again just in case.

📢 Once more for the people in the back: - Most [more than 95%] of archives have not been digitized. - Most of humanity's knowledge and memory is *not* reachable by LLMs. - Believing that AI can provid you with comprehensive, definitive, "intelligent" results is folly.

“What about Pride?” “You just had Pride.” “Well, what about Second Pride?” (Me as a disabled Hobbit, probably.) IT’S DISABILITY PRIDE MONTH, FOLKS! We have a flag too! Designed by Ann Magill, and updated to this version to prevent strobing issues while scrolling on devices! #DisabilityPride
The disability Pride flag with red, gold, white, blue, and greenl stripes on the dark grey background. Explanation of the diagonal stripes on the dark grey background. 

Red - physical disabilities
Gold - neurodiversity
White - invisible disabilities and undiagnosed disabilities
Blue - emotional and psychiatric disabilities.
Green - for sensory disabilities

As someone who works/takes classes on a campus that was serviced by Starship, these robots were an accessibility lifesaver, especially on days with extreme heat or when I had a pain flare-up. Hoping another delivery robot service fills in the gap.
