Time for my semi-annual recommending of Mar to everyone in hearing distance. She made me these pieces based on the LYSY Finale and I love them so much. The detail on Yoongi's sweater ALONE!
A small embroidered brooch of BTS's Yoongi with brown hair, in his red and yellow Seesaw sweater (with the loops delicately and brilliantly portrayed), singing into his mic. A small embroidered brooch of BTS's Namjoon, with brown hair, wearing his multicolored coat from his Trivia: Love performance, singing into his blue mic. A small embroidered brooch of BTS's Jungkook, with black hair, wearing his white suit with silver fringe from Euphoria, performing with his arms outspread.

#wipwednesday I'm mostly working on yuletide rn, which I can't share, but here's some more of Namjoon crocheting the BT21 Woobles!
“Okay first of all, I can't count the number of times Tae-Tae has come up with some project or another and we've all watched him in shock while he does the least predictable thing. Right?” “But they turn out in the end!” “Usually,” Jimin said, waving his hand. “But no matter what, it never ends the way you'd expect.” Namjoon gave Jimin a flat look. “Are you making an argument that a crochet piece that rolls on its side when you try to stand it up is some kind of artistic triumph?” “I'm making an argument that it's something special that Taehyungie will adore. Besides.” Jimin takes Tata and wedges them into the side of the crochet shelf, between the wall and Cooky. “There's more than one way to stand up, hyung; it's okay to lean when you need to.” “This seems remarkably philosophical for some yarn,” Namjoon says, and Jimin giggles. The memory of those giggles gets Namjoon the rest of the way through Tata, and when he's done, he wedges the little heart right back where Jimin did.

#surgery I had a medium bad #pain night and woke up 3 or 4 times and struggled to fall back asleep. Now I have to drag myself up, take my sore leg to PT, and work a full day. Hoping for a quiet-ish day, at least. *knocks wood*

Could use some help/advice! My beloved recliner is starting to glitch- it gets stuck in the recliner position and you have to unplug it/plug it back in to fix it. It's started doing this daily 😬 and I need to get it looked at, but I can't find anyone on a web search. Any thoughts on where to look?

#food I feel like I have just enough spoons to either a) use up veggies about ten seconds before they go bad to make food for a few days, or b) write a few hundred words of my rapidly becoming due yuletide fic.

...I'm probably going to pick yuletide, don't judge me too harshly.

I live in a six-unit building, and there has been Great Drama here while I was gone! Two people moving out, possibly because of each other! And one in the hospital (😕) who is also in trouble with management (😬) and almost got me in trouble by accident (😦)!

#surgery I have PT before work for good reasons, but also I'm so tired. It's amazing how much effort it takes to do what seem like very simple exercises. All I want is a nap, and I have the whole rest of the day first. I even have an appointment at lunch so no nap then! And I can't caffeinate.

🥺

Alright, here we go again.

Any "zoomed in" pic you see of our beloved lil' meow meow from Namjoon's ig story is a completely guesstimated AI fabrication. No need for lengthy explanations: there simply isn't enough information in the pixels to deduce or reconstruct his face in an accurate manner.
A "zoomed in" edit of Yoongi in the practice room from Namjoon's ig story on Nov 24th 2025. On the left half the edit is showing his full body, standing with his hands on his hips and bending forward at the waist. On the right is a closeup of "his face". I put that in quotation marks because that's not actually his face, it's an AI guesstimate based on the blurry original. I've written "this is a remini/AI edit" on top of the photo. The AI has given him double eyelids, fuller lips and overall made his face a bit more feminine as is typical of these edits. A side by side closeup face comparison of the original blurry pic and the AI edit

#tech a correction on an earlier article saying Gmail was using emails to train LLMs

(note that you're still free to turn off those features/ditch gmail/have never used Gmail. I support your choices!)
ernie.tedium.co Ernie Smith @ernie.tedium.co · 4d
If you have been sharing that Malwarebytes article on the Gmail thing, you should note the giant correction up top.

www.malwarebytes.com/blog/news/20...
Update November 22. We’ve updated this article after realising we contributed to a perfect storm of misunderstanding around a recent change in the wording and placement of Gmail’s smart features. The settings themselves aren’t new, but the way Google recently rewrote and surfaced them led a lot of people (including us) to believe Gmail content might be used to train Google’s AI models, and that users were being opted in automatically. After taking a closer look at Google’s documentation and reviewing other reporting, that doesn’t appear to be the case. Gmail does scan email content to power its own “smart features,” such as spam filtering, categorisation, and writing suggestions. But this is part of how Gmail normally works and isn’t the same as training Google’s generative AI models. Google also maintains that these feature settings are opt-in rather than opt-out, although users’ experiences seem to vary depending on when and how the new wording appeared. It’s easy to see where the confusion came from. Google’s updated language around “smart features” is vague, and the term “smart” often implies AI—especially at a time when Gemini is being integrated into other parts of Google’s products. When the new wording started appearing for some users without much explanation, many assumed it signalled a broader shift. We’ve revised this article to reflect what we can confirm from Google’s documentation, as it’s always been our aim to give readers accurate, helpful guidance.

I came back from LA and an attempted screenwriting career with my tail between my legs, moved in with my dad, and took a job at one of those tax franchises to pay the bills. To my math-hating shock, I loved it. Went back to school, got a masters in business, and the rest is history!

Before and after! It's been like three months, and my hair has been really bothering me. I feel like myself again!
Im a white woman with purple hair and green glasses, wearing a purple shirt and smiling. My hair is long and the purple is fading and starts a few inches down my head. Same, but my hair is vibrantly purple from top to bottom and is a few inches shorter.

I spent the end of my day making a document with a list of everything I've accomplished since I started (thanks to Past Me for saving completed tasks). It's almost three pages long and I started in August. Good way to beat down imposter syndrome, even after two weeks of not feeling 100%.

#pop I have JK's live on in the background while I check the formulas on an incredibly complex spreadsheet, not a terrible way to spend a Friday afternoon. (Even though he's playing a horror game. Fortunately I'm not looking.)

I am looking for a good book on the Etruscans. Ideally more general audience than scholarly. I read some academic history writing but for what I want endless "more/less significant than previously thought" arguments with the previous generation of historians are not it.

Recommendations appreciated!

Woke up in the middle of the night and, for no apparent reason, ended up watching an amazing PBS documentary on people volunteering to feed their communities in sometimes unexpected ways.

(I'm a fan of Kiki Rough, which is how I learned about it.)
