Reposted by Gale FaganSteve in Colorado 🐏🏔️⛷️ @steveincolorado.bsky.social · 19/03/2026FYI: bsky.app/profile/stev... . I have purr-sonally been involved in suspending most of Talita Leonardo's injured cat scam accounts since she first followed me in January 2025. She is a major sleaze. 186
Reposted by Gale FaganSean Eric Fagan @kithrup.bsky.social · 19/03/2026Acct taliyanardos.bsky.social just attempted to scam me. Normally I just block & delete scams, but using a *cat* has upset both @foobly.bsky.social and I so much I may need more chemical help sleeping. I've reported it as a scam. But ... this person has done *evil* and I am greatly upset. 6208

Gale Fagan @foobly.bsky.social · 03/09/2024AI doesn’t do the work for me; it’s an interactive tool that helps me manage the complex, exhausting process of getting my thoughts together, staying on track, and sometimes even finishing what I start-- or making a conscious decision to stop. 231
Gale Fagan @foobly.bsky.social · 03/09/2024It’s hard to express how frustrating it’s been. AI helps me get through the parts that would otherwise stop me cold, allowing me to create without reaching the point of burnout. 131
Gale Fagan @foobly.bsky.social · 03/09/2024I wouldn’t wish my experience on anyone. I struggled for decades before AI was an option, even writing my own crappy Markov bots to get past *getting stuck.* Medication and therapy helped, but to move beyond subsistence mode, generative AI brought everything together in a way nothing else has. 131
Gale Fagan @foobly.bsky.social · 03/09/2024AI helps me stay focused, get unstuck, stop overthinking, and manage panic spirals. It also helps me mask better—something I’m not proud of, but unfortunately, something I need. That doesn’t mean AI is the only way to manage these challenges; it’s just the tool that works for me. 131
Gale Fagan @foobly.bsky.social · 03/09/2024I don’t fully understand my challenges. My medical diagnoses are Autism Spectrum Disorder, Unspecified Anxiety Disorder (likely related to panic), and something my physician coded as ‘neuroendocrine disorder, unspecified’—a medical term he preferred over ADHD. There’s more, but that’s in the brainz. 240
Gale Fagan @foobly.bsky.social · 03/09/2024It’s easy to throw opinions around about faceless examples. I am a person, and the reality is that I rely on generative AI to write, create, and function. I'm divergent in a way that makes some tasks-- especially when they need to be combined, sustained, or executed together-- uniquely challenging. 150
Gale Fagan @foobly.bsky.social · 03/09/2024I'm not disputing that LLMs are fraught and deeply flawed. They've also allowed me to live as a functional adult without a full-time support team, and to work without a host of accommodations that would realistically limit my career even if provided. "You're just lazy. Try harder. Ask people." 150
Gale Fagan @foobly.bsky.social · 03/09/2024I'm watching @kithrup.bsky.social's exchanges on LLMs as an assistive technology, as various people suggest he's trolling, ableist, or offensive to neurodivergent people. What is offensive is people denying my experience. "If you can't do it without help, don't." Ableists in glass houses... 1110
Gale Fagan @foobly.bsky.social · 18/12/2023Great big asterisk: I am personally not a fan of glass pens, though it's possible to get some neat effects with them. Depending on your goal, metal dip pens-- or even dipping with an old desk pen -- might be a better fit. 130
Gale Fagan @foobly.bsky.social · 18/12/2023Depends on the shape and condition of the nameless one. Murano pens/glass dip pens are generally like that, and have enough individual variation that it's hard to say. If it is a reasonable random glass pen with no obvious defects, I'd look to factors like ink, paper and even humidity level first 🤔 140
Gale Fagan @foobly.bsky.social · 22/11/2023I’ve spent too many years at the Fruit 🍎 Stand (and in government) for this to even register as weird ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 000

Gale Fagan @foobly.bsky.social · 21/11/2023Reading various turkey horror and/or adventure stories. I have the best one, but I can’t tell it for another few years. In completely unrelated news, the total travel time from Cupertino to Shenzhen via HKG is about the same as how long it takes to thaw a towel-swaddled turkey in a suitcase. 130
Reposted by Gale FaganSean Blinn 🇺🇦 @themuseumguy.bsky.social · 21/11/2023Love how they’re trying to make the argument about advertising to distract everyone from remembering that Elmo is an antisemite. Don’t forget the main story: Twitter’s owner publicly endorsed racist, antisemitic conspiracy theories. Nobody let Twitter leadership distract us from that. 0234
