Artist, pretty save profession for women
Remember Skeuomorphism? Didn’t think I would one day be nostalgic for that style
For a brief moment I was completely alone on this pale blue dot.

I’m a very hands-on learner. I learned the web from the web, and I learned type from type. I learned how to write by reading and writing, and I learned how to cook by eating and cooking. We all understand that that’s how it works. I’m not special. Generative AI tools take away every aspect of learning that I can think of. What are you gonna make next? What have you learned?

The view-source era was exciting precisely because it motivated us to learn. You saw something cool, looked at the source, started to understand what the markup was doing, went down a rabbit hole. Curiosity leading to actual skill acquisition is fundamentally different from prompting an AI to build something you don't understand and can't maintain. #openWeb #AI #indieweb

Public service announcement:

There are times where you can separate work from the artist. But not during its hay day or while it's made and makes its main money. If you consume the new Harry Potters you contribute to active hate against a innocent part of our community. There is no going around it.

Let your conscience decide how you can live with that, just listen to it.

And also fu audible for giving me no way to remove hose harry potter ads from your main interface for me. I'll remember.

futures i still believe are possible:
- civilization no longer depends on fossil fuels
- food, housing, physical and mental healthcare for all
- no billionaires
- full reparations to the colonized and the enslaved
- computing without big tech
- an internet without advertising
- total liberation for gender nonconforming people

I love the winter time πŸ”‚ summer time switching!

Less problems sleeping beyond 3 am all summer
