and i didn't let either of those things slide btw lol i gave both men a piece of my mind but trump's america is making men boldly sexist in a way i haven't seen in awhile. back in my day they were covertly sexist.

in case you think sexism is over in tech i had to tell off a male peer last week for calling a woman aggressive because she expressed a negative opinion. and a few weeks before that a male peer told me i wasn't smart enough to teach engineers at netflix + tesla. men continue to disappoint me often

if you're sick of AI discourse being weirdly stratified between doomers and boosters, this is for you.

if you are someone curious about using AI and want to do it responsibly, this is for you. if you are sick of hype waves and tech bros and want to skip to the part where AI is just another boring tool, this is for you.

I'm writing again. I've been brewing on a manifesto for how average people should think about and use AI (if they want to!), and I'm putting it out in a 5 part series on my blog. Plus a few supplemental posts. open.substack.com/pub/faithfac...

AI for the rest of us: why care?

What's our responsibility during the AI boom?

being a writer is a constant ping-ponging between 'shit, that old piece of writing was awesome, i'm so smart' and 'shit, that old piece of writing was trite absolute nonsense, i should never write again'

5. I went skiing with my husband and sis on Christmas Day. The snow conditions are incredibly worrisome in the state of Colorado but we still had a great ski day thanks to zero crowds and we just lapped groomers it was a blast.

4. I hung out with some friends on Christmas night (we did fam stuff Christmas Eve) and one couple brought their kids. These kids are super fun and we played a game called "You can't get me" where we chased each other around and hug attacked each other when someone got got.

3. I went to the Nutcracker with my husband & our friend & her 7 year old, who is basically my niece but we're not blood, but you know the vibes. Niece is super smart & funny & so fun to hang out with. Me and Niece have the same color hair so I told her "we could be sisters!" and she goes "I wish!"

anyways i hate lawns but my csu gardening course has humbled me by saying there is research to demonstrate that lawns help manage hot city temps, purify the air, and prevent soil from getting too dry. so i must concede lawns are not the worst thing ever even though i would prefer that b & w thinking

see what i mean? small steppy is better than no steppy, your landscaping choices are really important but it's not a zero sum game. you can inch your way towards a more community friendly yard, if you are privileged enough to have one

or maybe you look into a grass that requires less water and pest management for you to upkeep. like you literally just look into it! write it on a sticky note somewhere. then it's in your brain, and the next time you can take a positive step, you look up the price.

landscape?" If it is the year for it, find one little step you can take. One!!! Maybe plant a penstemon in your front yard if you live in CO. they are native flowers with beautiful blooms and they require next to no effort to keep up.

Faith, but like a ~vibe~ @faithebear.bsky.social · 23/12/2025

and i do get it, life moves in phases and we cannot make the best possible landscaping choices at every phase. i do not argue for that ever. i argue for starting from a place of collectivist thinking and asking yourself: "Is this the year I can take a little step towards a more community friendly
