Just cleared up my desktop.
Made a folder called ”Detritus” and threw all the errant files in there.
I know I’ve not actually accomplished anything meaningful, but now my desktop is clear and it feels so good.

Hell, you know this. But still, I think about love & trust.

What were you expecting to take to the grave? What could an algorithm never extrapolate for them?

"What if—?" You can't. "But what if—?" You CAN'T. "…But will you accept this substitute and pretend?"

I'm haunted by the idea that someone will ask it advice.
"Oh love," I ask the photo in the locket, "what would you do?"
"Calculating," says some algorithm wearing love's face.

Refuse the premise.
You can already speak to the dead same as you might speak to the sky. Say what you want, and it's up to you to imagine what the reply might be based on what you know of them
You want to speak to the dead and have them speak back? You can't. That's half what it means to be dead.

I love art like this. Someone sat down to carefully render a bunch of sea bugs as gorgeously as possible. Beautiful.

List of the new ones that are groyper-posting. Does not include ones like CPSC or NOAA that have been here for awhile and haven't really posted unhinged things (if you can call CPSC "not unhinged").
If any of them start acting like the others, I'll add them. bsky.app/profile/did:...

Block all of them. Do not post actionable threats, do not interact at all.
Fascism on the Internet isn't validated by agreement, it's validated by interaction. Singal has no reach here because we collectively quarantined him en masse. Same approach is needed for the regime.

@alorelei.com just spent 10 minutes trying to retrieve a chopstick that I dropped in the crevice between the stove and kitchen counter using the coiled wire retrieved from an old laundry hamper. And that’s why we’ve been together for - as of this week - 21 years. Go us. ♥️

I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.

Just a heads up. I was able to schedule my COVID vaccine appointment. Online it will ask “do you have a condition that puts you at high risk for severe outcomes from COVID-19 virus.”
Click yes and it will allow you to schedule an appointment.
No questions asked.
No proof required.
Pass it on.
