Known for my Maverick Heart books (Killjoys meets Firefly only queer). 20+ year survivor of metastatic synovial sarcoma (mortality rate 90-95% at the time so all this is dessert) Leg disabled. And I take pictures, mostly B&W, mostly street, but lately I want to branch out and shoot ALL THE THINGS

The right half of the image is a church and steeple, taken looking up from street level. Behind its classis architecture is a background of early fall sky with soft clouds standing out against it.

I did my nails for the first time in many months, and I feel a little bit more like my old self.

Is anyone else travelling to @canconsffh.bsky.social from Toronto on the 1:23 train on the 16th? I'm hoping to find someone to split the cost of the cab to the hotel.

The upper left corner is filled with the curved glass structure of Roy Thomson Hall, sunlight hitting the individual, diamond shaped panes. Along the bottom of the frame, participants in Word on the Street walk back and forth in bright sunlight. Some push children in strollers. Some walk alone.

@allday
Met a 7-year-old at McDonald's. She stared at me and said, "why are you so ugly?"
I leaned down and whispered, "I can't tell anyone, but I came back in a time machine... I'm you, from the future."

Decided to watch this today as I need a good cry. And to see people being lovely to each other. Nothing's even happened yet and I'm a mess already.

It's a "Recently Deceased Movie Star" afternoon. Just finished First Wives Club and have moved on to Sneakers

As an example: AI doesn't understand "no." Because the statements "no ketchup on my burger" and "ketchup on my burger" are almost identical to a machine that does not and cannot actually reason. It's only a 2 letter difference.

AI doesn't know 'no' – and that's a huge problem for medical bots

Many AI models fail to recognise negation words such as “no” and “not”, which means they can’t easily distinguish between medical images labelled as showing a disease and images labelled as not showin...

One of those films that's absolutely perfect. Never fails to delight me. I think I'm due for a rewatch.

I'm reading the new Thursday Murder Club book and I'm hearing all the characters in the voices of the actors from the movie. Which ain't half bad considering how great the cast was.
