exCUSE me, Google??

an exchange with a hospital nurse Shirley Jackson recounts in her memoir, which Google somehow manages to make worse through its suggestions:

"Occupation?"

"Writer," I said.

"Housewife," she said.

"Writer," I said.

"I'll just put down housewife."

Google: Consider changing to:

Put down the housewife

a radicalizing moment for me was going to a wedding expo back in 2017 and at the end there was a dance contest to win a free honeymoon. the last two contestants were a woman who literally did backflips and a guy who did some very conventional dude dance moves, wearing a cowboy hat. Guess who won?

this feeling of frustration is my fault, I should not be checking my work email during fall break

it's Sunday, which means a new AI generated email from our principal that implies teachers are not doing our jobs!

the best time to plant a tree was 30 years ago. the second best time? was 29 years, 364 days ago. third best - 29 years, 363 days. fourth best is interesting, because 29 years *362* days had better soil conditions. fifth best--

@jstencel_high crime, low education, no urban development. It's miles and miles of strip malls and no communities or urban villages except for the Nob Hill/ university corridor. Quite limited for the population. If you are content living in an endless suburb it's great. Historic indigenous culture is rich but separated.

Lotta weird gourds out there.

An assortment of pumpkins. Some are orange or yellow, but a bunch of them are a ghostly blue-gray.

Several different squash, pumpkins, and gourds on a table, with colors ranging from bright yellow-orange to a deep black-green.

A yellow and green gourd shaped like a starfish with a stem!

I was just thinking last night about how miss mythillogical!

we slept in and accidentally missed gymnastics. I shouldn't have to be up before 7 am on a Saturday anyway, I should be able to enjoy the benefits of a kid who sleeps in.

I love halloween but also think this bar bathroom could dial it back a little, I’m just trying to pee here.

the bug ABCs. Sometimes they go on big vacations, they get bug colds and take care of each other, sometimes my kid makes up a new big and he moves into the garden and they all throw a party. All that to say I'll never use AI to tell these stories and I'll stop telling them before I do.

Think of anything new for them to do, they just do human things but bug sized, which my kid supplements with ideas. They had bug school last night, they use grapes instead of balls to play. They eat leaf pizza. They do bug math (only up to 5, he insists they can't count higher), they learn

every night I do the bedtime duties I have to make up stories, my kid likes that more than books (don't panic, we read a book first then I do stories) For a few months we've been deep in the extended bug universe, all the stories are about a beetle named myrtle and all of her friends. When I can't

truth, we need triple the EAs absolutely, at the minimum!

the school district and the state public Ed dept have their heads so far up their asses they have no idea what day to day school functioning looks like and as people quit bc of burnout they think it's bc we aren't trained enough

the rest of the surgery literally NEVER asks a question about hiring, and only lets you rank the importance of line items in relation to one another, which is a sneaky way to make it seem like we think implementing AI tutoring is just as important as building repairs. Snakes!
