Yesterday, I tooted about replacing specific tasks in my checklist with areas of focus. I have two basic strategies that work for house and garden:
Theme: eg. finding shit, stinky stuff, sweep & vacuum
Zone: eg. counters, bathroom, junk drawer.
Garden example: weed buttercup everywhere or do everything in one bed.
Reminding myself which I am doing is key to staying on track. Dusting is not part of “finding shit.” It’s a relief, actually. I’ll write about that later.
3/3
I truly hate the AI deepfakes, fake people, faked voices, fake resurrected necromancy of real people, digital possession.
I hate it so much. It’s grotesque and literally dehumanizing real people to humanize programmed non-living code and deceive life.
Meta thinks now is a great time to launch facial recognition surveillance tech in their creepy glasses because EFF will be too distracted by fascism to notice.
We noticed.
Don't worry, I've got you
Rest in Peace, Alex.

Ringing in 2026 by paying nearly a week of the #ADHDtax of having the flu while unvaccinated. It really was beyond me to schedule once the stupid rfk delay was past, and then schedule around finally starting a new job and not wanting to miss any time.
Also, fuck the "covid is just the flu" crowd (especially my last boss), for many reasons, but even more so because the flu is no joke either.
