Perpetually tired award winning writer. Queer. Disabled. Always asks for the aux. Horror, humour, craft beer, fragrance and photography. America's sweetheart 1984-1992.

Oh, uh, hello new followers!
I don't quite have anything to plug right now, but I'm a writer and film photographer and I mostly talk about music, craft beer, culture, queer stuff, disability stuff, and other such things, sometimes with a PR person lens.
Also I have a cat named Leopold. He's cool.

By trying to make LLM models fit everywhere, generative AI grifters and CEOs wanting to replace creatives have destroyed any possible support for actual practical applications of AI and machine learning.

I'm sorry can someone please confirm that I'm not crazy, but I never really saw anything bizarre about Cynthia and Ariana's behavior because that's just music theatre people stuff??

Since people find being hopeful and optimistic so cringe these days, let me remind you once again that there isn’t a single liberation movement in the world that wasn’t built on hope and optimism.

One thing I kind of love is that Welcome to Derry wasn't the first to put a song by Patience and Prudence against horror. Since 2018/2019 Tiktoks have been putting the track "Tonight You Belong to Me" to true murder stories

12 hours into Diablo IV now and I'm still enjoying it as a wind down game. I have a bunch of skeleton minions now as well as a golem. Also I'm loving how my necromancer is looking!

Watched the first episode of Welcome to Derry and honestly...
1. Andrés Muschietti and the writers understand dream logic and the progression of nightmares in a way that most horror folks only hope for.
2. I felt like my knowledge and expectations were used against me and... just brilliant writing

gotta say, in these cold mornings where I'm also sore as hell, I'm glad to have the espresso machine where I can just make a flat white to start my day off right.
Don't get me wrong, I loved the convenience of the nespresso, but it's just nice to have better coffee now.

Okay, so Diablo games are about that fun mindless grind of seeing like 50 enemies get destroyed in a few seconds.
Seriously though, Necromancer. The skeleton fighters and the Decompose spell seem ridiculously overpowered at times.

I'm starting to think, as the pinched nerve pain starts to go away and other fun new pains are increasing, if I may have actually torn a ligament in my shoulder.

Anyone in the greater Vancouver/Portland area interested in two Casper mattress dog beds, small size?
We’ve had them for a few years but Abe rarely used them so they’ve just been sitting in our closet, unused, for a while.

I'm guessing this was triggered by the "What's the lore on how you got to your career" post here and...look, no shade and maybe some of the professional online haters can enlighten me, but why put in the energy to giving this much of a shit about something so stupid
