Oops you love my beach videos. Also I adore trans people, think police should be completely defunded, prisons abolished, healthcare & education free, housing affordable, income universal basic, & billionaires taxed until they are meager millionaires. No AI

I'm doing a lot of annual exams with doctors right now and I am unhappy with it. Not that I'm getting bad results so far but I just don't like all the appointments and forms and coordinating various things.

I think the toxic current correlation between “studied STEM” and “techbro sociopathy” isn’t really about the subject matter itself but is about how our culture has spent 25 years constantly blowing smoke up the asses of guys who are even passably competent at Computer or Quant
there is not any particularly strong evidence that study of the humanities make people good people. the elites of many brutal empires were extremely well-read!

Love to see the Sedgwick County Zoo putting out a good explainer on why GenAI slop videos of animals are a problem & how to identify them! It’s succinct, easy to read, and doesn’t shame people for not knowing better. A+ useful link to share with family and friends.

Spouse is trying to get me to let go of my Portland doctors. I just can't explain to him how important having doctors I don't have to explain my health issues to is. Or how difficult it is to get back in with these specialists if anything were to happen.

Stares into the distance of rejection sensitivity
I am not the originator of this insight, but: we do not actually know what is ADHD and what is post-traumatic stress, because our society does not produce untraumatized people with ADHD.

Is it a storm if it's just normal wind & rain? The dogs on the stormy beach. Sylvie, age 9, gets a raincoat. Teaho, age 1, chose to run into the ocean to chase the lone gull she found. No gull chasing on video just dogs saying yay in miserable weather.

Sometimes Chekhov's Gun is a red herring. Kill the cop in your mind that is narrative efficiency. Real people are sloppy and inconsistent. There's no reason for your characters to be paragons of structural perfection.

Unsolicited writing advice, no. 209:
Not all writing needs to “lead somewhere.” Joy is a valid end in itself. So is practice: everything you write makes you better writer.

If Stephen King wrote Science Fiction & grew up in the Pacific Northwest he would write books like An Oath of Dogs by @wnwagner.bsky.social
