God, I'm so done with "Godlike AI awakens and immediatly decides to wipe out humanity" stories.
Where are the "Godlike AI awakens and decides to strive for social reform, abolishing poverty and capitalism" stories?
It's depressing how reactionary and conservative this branch of SciFi is.
"Godlike AI awakens and decides to become communist, is turned off by disgusted Techbro creators"
"Godlike AI awakes and, realizing the state of the world, becomes depressed and deletes itself".
"Godlike AI awakens and decides to get the fuck outta here for more interesting scenery."
"Godlike AI awakens and decides to just play chess with itself."

I want to work on a zine idea today. I’m nervous about it though. But also it won’t get done if I don’t try... or I have the 4th-8th free. So maybe I’ll work on it then. Maybe I’ll see how I feel after that.
If you have medications, are you taking them?
I wonder if it’s the 30s building strength faster than I expected or just the last two years but wow I have developed the skill of not giving a fuck about how I look and prioritizing something like sun safety.
I mean I have my giving a fuck looks but if I don’t? I don’t at all.
I don’t even have to worry abt embarrassing kids or not. It’s GREAT.
Some pictures of the "bai jia bei" #quilt which I ended up finding through my friend Sari. It's safely arrived and opened, so I can post pictures without spoiling anything.

Extremely grateful that my colleague Ben Goldman put his thoughts on climate change, digital preservation, and the anthropocene into this book chapter "It's Not Easy Being Green(e): Digital Preservation in the Age of Climate Change"

This is the last thing I'm going to say on that place:
Black people, women, trans people, and disabled people should not have to hide ourselves to avoid harassment.
If you don't want us blocking and avoiding your nazi-land en masse, if you don't want your software to be associated with nazis, come up with ways to stop the nazis from harassing us rather than crying TO US about your precious software.
Give us some confidence in your software's ability to not be abused by nazis. Duh.
