Boys and girls and babes, my word of the day for you is "spurious." It describes potentially dishonest or fraudulent behavior. I may have used it in a polite but firm email to my HOA representative today. 😮‍💨

These hurtful, threatening times fill me with sadness and anger. But I will not let my anger make me cruel or unfeeling, especially towards those I hold dear. Our enemies have not earned our kindness, but nor have they earned the right to strip us of ours.

It occurred to me just now that, per rumint, there is a nonzero chance that people are getting fired during this whole mess. Therefore, as I am an intern still and thus non-essential, there is a nonzero chance that I could be fired.
I'm kind of zen about it. No matter what happens, I'll be okay.

People once again need to internalize that "generative AI" is a small subset of machine learning, that machine learning is a critical tool that you cannot run a site without past a certain volume Bluesky has long since exceeded, and that it is FAR more reliable than user reporting.

all discourse aside, there is one machine with consciousness. it's printers. they are alive and conscious and they hate you and they'd take your arm clean off if you let them. never trust a printer.

A little-known part of Jane Goodall’s legacy is that she helped place Roots + Shoots chapters inside jails in the U.S. and Italy. Some of the participants went on post-incarceration to careers in environmental protection. I met her in 2015 at the Boulder jail—still my all-time favorite assignment.

“finish adding a feature” we literally all thought was there from the get go. “finish adding a feature” when jay yelled at all of us to shut the fuck up and federate if we wanted change.

unbelievable

Asked about why Link had to contact Bluesky to ask what had happened to his account rather than receiving a notice, Paul Frazee, the service's CTO, said that it was "unfortunate," and that Bluesky needed to finish adding a feature to let users of external PDSes know if they have been banned by Bluesky labelers.

This isn't towards those who are broke.

I've noticed that people devalue my work. I could have hundreds of reviews raving about my products. But people only wanna support me if they feel they're getting a VERY "cheap" price. While so many other creators can charge whatever for their products.

“New teeth taste weird”

My goal is to work as hard as I can, within health limits, in order to help other people the way that I've been helped. I want to create beauty and joy, but I also want to be able to support people when they need it. That's the goal.

"Good Morning, World", personal #art from 2020 or so. I forgot about this one, but it still has one of my fav color palettes, an interesting balance. :D

Prints available at ko-fi.com/zhillustrato.... Read the description to make sure you get the correct artwork!

"Good Morning, World", a digital painting by Zhillustrator. A guy in a vaguely ethnic outfit is enjoying a moment in a dandelion filled meadow with their hands spread out. Tumultuous clouds are behind and a mysterious structure is barely peaking through in one part between the clouds. A tower is in the background, as well as some electricity posts and an overgrown house. A cat hovers next to the character.

I appreciate every bit of support that I've gotten and that I continue to receive. With that in mind, even though I'm going back to my day job, please keep it up! I'm still in a non-pay status for now and every little bit is truly appreciated.
