Huge nerd. Sings and codes, not necessarily in that order. Not big on own pronouns, happy to respect yours.

Leave my trans brothers and sisters alone.

Just passed a flock of sparrows dive-bombing a crow that had gotten too close to a nest. It's definitely spring.

I don't know how to explain to the people who pop up when creatives complain about "AI" to say there are legit uses for it just how much they sound like someone saying "Well actually fire is used to make bread" when people are talking about an organized arson ring burning down their fucking houses

Can we stop this garbage? There are a ton of spectacular shots of the splashdown and recovery on both the livestream and NASA's site.

Why people feel the need to make stuff up with AI image generation when they could spend 30 seconds finding something real is beyond me.

β€œWhy aren’t college students protesting” stories are almost always wrong (they are protesting), omit crucial context (they were brutally punished for protesting before), and somehow suggest that 19 yr olds have more moral responsibility than elected officials three times their age

"Like, dude!" was the "Hwæt!" of my generation.

I grew up in a time and place when we used 'like' as every conceivable part of speech except pronouns and exclamations, for which we used 'dude' in various inflections. This succeeded in its primary purpose, which was driving our parents and teachers insane – one of the great human traditions.

"do we have a plan in place for the internet being weird again" yes, the plan is to wait until the internet stops being weird, thanks for asking

I have the day off, so naturally multiple people have chosen to text and/or email me to inform me that The Internet Is Being Weird.

No, romantasy isn't 'smut' – what are you, my grandfather?

(Yes, this is a subskeet. Obviously I need something productive to do, like organizing my bookshelves or weeding.)

If you ever wondered how (x) period of insane historic atrocity could’ve happened while civilised courtiers just continued on as normal, well, wonder no more: it was like this.

Kind of surprised Bluesky is still up right now, considering how badly everything else on the internet is performing.

(On the plus side, "I don't have time for the news, I need to concentrate very hard on learning music and blocking" has been a mental health lifesaver in the last few months.)

I'm eating breakfast, babying my voice*, and reading a book. "Four-day cross country gay sex boot camp" has been mentioned several times now.

I love Cat Sebastian.

*mental note: maybe next year don't schedule three months straight of 3+ hour rehearsals for various shows

Right, my congressman and senators* know I want them to make sure everyone involved in this is prosecuted, time to bake bread and learn a new audition aria, it's all I can do.

*all of whom are useless, but there's no point in being rude to their unpaid interns about it

It's 8AM, our government is once again openly threatening war crimes and genocide, and our representatives and senators are apparently uninterested in doing anything about it, as they have been for the last year.
