“There are few things more dehumanizing than being told by a machine that you’re not real because of your face"

For the last month, I've been speaking to people living with facial differences and disfigurements about how face verification tech is failing them. Spoiler: things aren't going well

When Face Recognition Doesn’t Know Your Face Is a Face

An estimated 100 million people live with facial differences. As face recognition tech becomes widespread, some say they’re getting blocked from accessing essential systems and services.

> that when I was thinking about trips for next summer the other day, I started looking up when 5ks and 10ks are in those cities so I could combine trip with a running event.

in other words, making the trips productive.

so what do I do with THAT insight now!!!!

Good therapy today, possibly because I started it by saying "I had a migraine yesterday, I need today to be gentle." so we talked about things I've made progress on and am doing well. always nice to go over that and be like oh wow. :)

"he was stinking up my bathroom for 15 minutes and billed me for it!" it is a bathroom, stink is what it is for. maybe you can make a case for the billing but I wouldn't go to the mat about it. (I mean, I wouldn't be complaining about this at all, but.)

just feeling terrible and what's-the-point about writing. the advice on how to deal with that is perfectly split between "take it easy and wait for things to come back around" and "push through it." so idk what to do. write little vignettes of blorbo being brutally fucked and then delete them?

the last time I was visiting my sister my eleven-year-old nephew was reading You Dreamed of Empires and I was like uhhh he is not ready for that but go off I guess (she confirmed that after one or two tries at it he set it aside as "boring")

more people than I expected being like "I am a paying customer why would you think you're permitted to use the bathroom in my home." WILD.

Really liked that book! Have you read any of his others? Sudden Death is deranged and fun also.

huge fight at Ask a Manager today about whether or not one should let workers (plumbers, electricians etc) use the bathroom at your house or send them to find a gas station. people are deranged.

Apparently they admitted they HAD been in a relationship, the fact that is ongoing is the new reveal. I think.

Oh no now I'm crying about my dead cat, who also would camp out with me during headaches and was much grumpier than Eej
