Part of why you're having so much anxiety is you keep doing so many things you don't really wanna do. I know it's easier said than done but you're gonna have to introduce more fun back into your life.

internalize this, now.
I appreciate you @DeeLaSheeArt
And stop teaching ppl about
"true love" & "once in a lifetime love". If you believed you only had 1 shot at finding
"true love" wouldn't you hold on tight to it even if it was hurting you? Teach ppl that love is infinite & they can find it as many times, in as many ppl

Remembering today that having your heart broken is a necessary step on the path to becoming fully human. Whichever heartbreak is your first, it’s probably critical that a state break your heart so that you can develop a political imagination. If this is your first, I’m sorry and also welcome.

I cannot stop thinking of Dulce Morales. Her disappearance by ICE signals that no amount of “documentation” or American born status changes how Latiné people (and lets be real, whatever other population they choose) have lost due process rights and are being ethnically cleansed from the country.

The Center and allies today voluntarily dismissed their lawsuit challenging a logging operation in the #PisgahNationalForest in #NorthCarolina. We filed a lawsuit last month to halt the #logging, and days later the U.S. Forest Service cancelled the logging and the logging equipment was withdrawn.

They saved an exceptional forest, imperiled wildlife, and a world-class river.

Yeah the dissonance here is that when they say “empathy” is killing “Western civilization,” what they’re signaling is that recognizing the humanity and rights of non-white people is genocidal towards white people.

I think it’s pretty clear at this point that one of the main impacts of LLMs is to disrupt thinking: to make it so that far too many people never properly learn how to do it, and then to control the output so there are thoughts that people never learn how to think.

Screenshot of Microsoft asking for feedback on Word where I wrote: One of the worst times I had this year was spending DAYS trying to turn off that horrible, awful AI, copilot. I am a writer, I have spent years honing my craft, and it is frankly offensive to offer to rewrite what I just wrote with a stupid machine. I almost stopped using Word until I FINALLY found a way to turn it off. I don't want to use AI and you still keep trying to ram it down my throat and I hate it.
