a thread of grounding techniques for anyone finding it A Bit Much right now. most are a little unconventional; all are things i've found effective. if you feel like you need to soldier on and be fine, no you don't; if you feel like your struggles don't merit using this kind of approach, yes they do.

a pair of extremely sweet bonded cats in Austin. anyone?
Little Big Fat got super scared at adoption intake. Marvin did okay and AHS wanted to take him, but they really shouldn't be separated. Back to our house they go, and we're still looking for a home for them

Sir Terry Pratchett is best understood as one of the most interesting, deeply ethical practical (I would say Pragmatist but I cede to actual experts) philosophers of the late 20th Century who just happened to work in deconstructed fantasy literature as his medium.

I say this ALL THE TIME
When we say "no, everything hasn't been digitized," I need you to understand that we really mean is that virtually nothing has been digitized. This is because the realm of primary sources that historians use is incomprehensibly large.
Seems like it's worth posting this one again.

i'm fascinated by how much people love and are amazed by chat gpt saying "nice catch!" and "great observation!" because i personally find the condescension and obsequiousness the most skin-crawling thing about how LLMs "talk"
If we are banning cell phones for kids we need to be talking about banning chatbots for boomers

Any publisher that does not see the value of human translation and localisation should do the world a favour and get out of the publishing business.
Harlequin France is canceling contracts with translators to use AI.
Publishers rushing to cut their own feet off befuddles me.

Yolo often stands with his little back toes crossed, which I find ridiculously cute!
You can see vultures don't have bulky feet and talons built for grasping/carrying like other raptors. Their more chicken-like feet are meant for bracing on food to pull at it with their powerful beaks, instead.

it's even worse when those categories get imported wholesale into the discourse of a whole different country, which would surely have its OWN markers of generational difference. really exposes how surface-level these discussions tend to be.
i see so many people talk abt generational divides as a way of understanding politics or culture or just as a kind of horoscope personality quiz type thing and it does start to grind on my nerves after a while bc i just don't think generational differences have That Much explanatory power
