The more I think, the more I realize how much I don't know, and how much it bothers me that people assume I know things. I don't know who I am because I chameleon and pretend I understand and this bothers me more than I realized.

My new baseline for things that don't bother me (apparently) is my family not telling me my dad passed for 7 days. I had to randomly call to figure it out, but I'm weirdly chill about it.
Every time something does bother me I'm using it as a comparison and then being like "Huh."

@andreazanin.bsky.social Saw this pop up in my feed and wondered if you were aware of it. I did see... problematic commentary and see the point of how it was raised to me (as a way to excuse terrible actions), but with your broad awareness of emotion and pain, I'm wondering if this may generate some
A common assumption is that throughout history, people have experienced the same basic range of emotions. A radical field of history now challenges this assumption, Gal Beckerman reports. theatln.tc/KD2QRX9Y

What's up with my username? I honestly wish I could tell you. I'm pretty sure I didn't know that an adjacent name was even Irish, nor do I remember why I took a bunch of vowels and smooshed them together. I think I stumble onto more things through accident than intention.

Infinite monkeys on infinite typewriters WILL produce the works of Shakespeare. But they will also absolutely produce infinite amounts of unreadable crap at an unreasonable cost.

45 days until I'm homeless, because my partner's parents are so transphobic, they only see me as a predator with a penis when it comes to my daughter, and they are forcibly removing me from her life.
Anything helps. Please. I'm so fucking scared.

Toughed out two skin biopsies to make sure I haven't developed skin sarcoidosis, or to figure out what marks were on my arm. Results? Nothing notable. Annoyed that the only thing I feel like I took away was personal learning about hydrocolloid bandages. 😡

Energy levels have tanked lately for a lot of things, except focusing on health and certain 'important' things. Everything else is barely manageable or unmanageable and it sucks.

Science will often take you to unexpected and delightful places. In this study, researchers hypothesized that riders in a crowded subway car would be more likely to offer their seat to a pregnant person if there were someone in the subway car dressed as Batman 🧪🦇

We ran a randomized controlled trial to see how much AI coding tools speed up experienced open-source developers.
The results surprised us: Developers thought they were 20% faster with AI tools, but they were actually 19% slower when they had access to AI than when they didn't.
