I’m considering just keeping my smartphone for work only and buying an old brick phone and iPod.

I’m sitting here watching a film from 1958 (The Blob) and embroidering. I mostly write Scots by hand anyway.

I’m happy living in the past because to hell with this timeline.

I’ve felt terrible all day because - for the first time - I can’t tell the difference between an AI video and a real one.

Literacy rates are plummeting, and this is only going to make it worse. I know that what I’m doing is important, but it’s impossible not to be alarmed.

It broke my heart to see this article calling for help to make a Scots AI. The leid is already vulnerable.

The rise of AI is an abomination. People can think and create without it.

English literacy is already dropping because of AI. Don’t let it happen to Scots too.

I’m in the process of adding wee polishes to my writing nook so that I’ve got the perfect spot to scrive and make videos about my books. Scots is, after aw, an oral language!

On a mission to get everything in order so I’m balancing my books as well as I can with my day job.
