Before I went off to get my masters degree, I had coffee with my undergraduate advisor, and I remember her telling me: “Just remember, don’t let theory overpower your work to the detriment of the real people you’re studying.” I think about that a lot, not just in writing, but in life.

GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references. Enter this: a repository of open-access, AI-free images of wild & exotic taxa. Artists creating without AI have blanket permission for derivative/transformative use.

PSA: you do not have to watch the news tomorrow. You do not have to keep track of everything day 1. This is a marathon not a sprint. Take care of yourself and spend time with friends and family. I'll be out on the slopes wfh my partner enjoying nature. They can't take our joy, I won't let them.

I recently noticed that one of our cats makes a yipping noise every time she jumps, whether she's jumping onto something or off of it. It’s almost as if she’s bracing herself for impact. Does anyone else have a cat that does this?😻

Hypothesis: our homes are gradually becoming containerized in our current era of frequent moves & unstable housing. Furniture folds for storage, and sneakers are stored in stackable boxes. There’s an appeal to any container with a lid or a handle, offering assurance its contents will not drift away.

The biggest reason to avoid ChatGPT and its ilk is it is the extreme of oursourcing You are outsourcing your thinking and your problem-solving to Open AI If their servers fuck up, what are you left with? You are even outsourcing your ability to have a bad day
