This poem has been on my mind a lot. It seems to always come back this time of year. I wrote it three years ago. A year after we lost my sibling. I don't know if it was about that or something else, I really don't remember. But right now it is.
The text of the poem Sands of Time by Tillery.

Pattern made from sand;
impermanent permanence -
mark gone, presence felt

Friendship mandalas
blown by wind and breath and time -
away but not gone

Distant though we are,
aeolian and zephyr,
whisked this way and that...

Hearts - though distant - beat.
Time, space, provenance, and doubt
do not hold their sway.

I love going to bed early and then being unable to sleep so then I will be exhausted anyway AND I couldve just been playing video games instead of this

So, @are.tillery.fyi and @blueteamcon.com put postcards in the swag bag and I lost track of time and forgot to mail it. So I decided to decorate it for my kiddo and hand deliver it today when I get home. Thanks to Mental Health Hackers, CQURE and Akaido for helping me decorate. BTC was great!

Wrote up my thoughts on the whole OpenAI Navier–Stokes Millennium Prize Problem story, and how it highlights the still confusing question of what using my data "to improve model performance" actually means simonwillison.net/2026/Sep/8/o...
This also highlights one of my ongoing frustrations about how all of this works. When an AI lab says that my data is "used to improve model performance", what does that actually mean?

My two favourite hypothetical questions regarding this used to be:

    If I'm running Codex and one of my API keys accidentally gets consumed in the context, what are the chances that someone else might ask for an API key in the future and get mine back? (I asked someone at OpenAI once and they called this the "regurgitation" problem and assured me that they take great pains to prevent that... but wouldn't describe how.)
    If I brainstorm with ChatGPT about potential new directions for my company, what's the chance that information might be exposed to a competitor in six months' time who asks "what might company X plan to do next"?

My new preferred hypothetical for this is:

    If I use ChatGPT to help me partially solve a Millennium Prize problem, what are the chances that my work will influence training such that a later model helps someone else solve it first?

first time i've ever learned something from a sexual harassment training and WOW I feel vindicated
here are three facts many people do not know:

fact #1

A Pew research study found:
- About 6 in 10 women and three in 10 men have been sexually harassed sometime during their life.
A williams institute on sexual orientation law and public policy found:
- 90% of transgender workers have been harassed or discriminated against on the job

What are your thoughts on slow cooker or pressure cooker caramelized onions? I’ve heard mixed opinions on their quality and whether they can truly be called caramelized, but I am far from an expert in this area.

Hot take: comped lyrics aren't punk, and they're definitely not folkpunk. Just do a few takes and pick the best.

Were there particular exercises or patterns that helped you practice? Part of my struggle is that I know it’s something that will take time and repetition, but my brain doesn’t want me to get started unless I know I’m going down an effective path

Here's the official announcement of Parton's passing from her reps, along with the request that in lieu of flowers, the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at www.imaginationlibrary.com
NASHVILLE, TN (August 25, 2026) – Global icon and humanitarian, Dolly Parton, known to the world as a beloved singer, songwriter, philanthropist, actress, playwright, and author died peacefully today in Nashville, Tennessee. She was 80 years old.

 

Dolly is preceded in death by her beloved husband of 59 years Carl Thomas Dean (1942 – 2025), her mother Avie Lee Caroline Owens (1923 – 2003), and father, Robert Lee Parton, Sr. (1921 – 2000). 

 

A rhinestone life that shone bright enough for the world to see, Dolly will forever stand as an inspiration not only through her timeless music and prolific songwriting, but also her wit, warmth, and kindness that made us all feel like family. Dolly Parton’s legacy is one of love, compassion, and resilience. With a seven-decade career, she inspired multiple generations of artists and fans with her music and an unwavering commitment to making the world a better place. Her songs will continue to resonate with people of all ages, and her philanthropic work will have a lasting impact.

 

At Dolly’s request, a small, private service will be held for immediate family. Dolly’s fans and friends from around the world are encouraged to pay tribute to Dolly on social media by tagging @DollyParton or by leaving a message at www.dollyparton.com.         

 

In lieu of flowers the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at www.imaginationlibrary.com.

My handwriting falls somewhere between "not great but legible" and "crap". I'm sending a lot more handwritten mail lately, and want to improve this. How does one do this as an adult? Especially an AuDHD one that is bad at failing at things...

At some point (maybe when I switched devices?) the "Require alt text before posting" setting was toggled off, and I didn't notice (luckily because I happened to remember alt text). But if you rely on the setting, double check it maybe?
