how does this platform make money, i just saw the new bsky interim ceo announcement, are they getting paid

right before that, i told her that her eating makes me happy (she's in a super picky eating phase right now) and she started stuffing the eggs in her mouth and yes, it did make me happy 🥲

on the flipside, i had one of my coughing fits today and the baby babbled something like "oh my god mommy" and ran over with her stethoscope to check up on me and i think that was the first time she showed what resembled mature empathy and behavior of trying to comfort 🥹

unrelated but also on my mind: can we please not war. between that and AI doing who knows what and baby, i am losing it lol

every phase of baby-rearing, I'm like, i dunno how much longer i can do this for. but we press on and eventually whatever specific hardship goes away, and its place some other difficult thing. IT'S ONLY BEEN TWO YEARS

does one have to pay federal tax, even though they don't want it to go towards all the things that the govt is funding? asking for a friend

antibiotics for an infected ear. other ear felt fine but they said it had to be flushed and now i have to also take ear drops

another day I threatened to become a furniture maker, another day i don't actually know how to make furniture.

i think my left ear actually is permanently clogged so ... ear doctor?

my career quiz results: www.ifeelseen.ai/quiz/career/... still need to put it through accessibility pass, but i hit my usage limits. should be able to finish this out tonight though. just a fun little personality quiz i vibe coded over the weekend.

i used to have a map hanging in my room for most of my childhood that also had all the flags listed (just a cheap one) and always wanted to hang one up again but haven't gotten around to it yet 🫠 beautiful map!

if i had kept at it, i would've had 5 years of watercolor practice by now and have gotten better. but instead I'm automating my job with AI

Mario mushroom watercolor

looking back on old art is so weird because at the time, i think i suck at it and i have no business doing it and scoff at all my creation, but when i look back in hindsight, I'm impressed?? like this watercolor of a mario mushroom from 2021. then i always regret not having kept going 😭

i loved making mixed CDs and designing the label with it and a sleeve for the cover and everything. it was really an artform, i loved my personal cd player!

AI vs Human Stories why do I still need people if I have AI

AI can never replace _resonance_ blog.earlyspark.com/p/ai-vs-huma...

I'm so tired of reading/hearing stuff related to AI (blame me, i also contribute to this) that i am now getting serious about carving out time for a non-tech hobby. baby is 2 years old, more manageable now, sleeps through the night (mostly), so if i can sacrifice a bit of sleep, i can do something.

i need a sign from the universe to tell me to drop everything to pursue my passions instead of paying my bills

ah, permanent dizziness? ok great time for that because i need to read a doc with lots of numbers in it right now and make sense of it

universe telling me to take water breaks ftlog

ok this is the ear thing i felt when i flew while sick that one time but this time, i was just sitting at my desk for 5 hours, what do

am i suddenly allergic to shrimp??

my pink eye started to feel better today but my ear got clogged suddenly over the course of an hour?? is that a thing?? why are we such frail bags of water

it's a great way to ragebait but it definitely goes hard in either direction. there's AI haters and AI lovers and if you're in the middle like me you just get reply-guyed from both sides 🥲

it helped that everyone was so great to work with and gave feedback on things esp where you and others knew the customer better than i did while i was still learning 🥹

on a related note, i was contemplating leaving tech altogether last night to become a furniture maker because some days are UGH lol

i wonder if the political pendulum will one day swing so hard in the other direction that i wouldn't like that either. ftlog why can't we all just endure each other. we don't have to like each other, just be able to be in the same room without conspiring to murder each other, CAN WE PLEASE

i have no more words, I'm just so tired. I'm still running off the high of the Bad Bunny superbowl show that was so full of joy and i need more of that in my life.

unrelated, i have pink eye and this whole post was written through one blurry eye.

this isn't too stoke the fire, it's a plea to turn down the temperature; after all, aren't we all just going to die in the end?? will they end my life prematurely or make my friends/family's life miserable?? maybe. there may be no justice on this side of life but there will be at some point.

i don't think i would have posted this if i didn't know that ICE is looking at socials, but because they apparently are, I'm just going to officially say: we need to abolish ICE. they are beyond unjust, they are inhumane

am i being reckless because i have family? am i expected to hide?? i will not.

sometimes i just have a slice of plain bread just because.

oh good, i can finally save my spicy takes in bsky as drafts instead of deleting them. i have so many unsent messages.
