Some people claim that the game #Myst has aged poorly. I strongly disagree!
It was never good and people who claim to genuinely like it are lying.

One thing AI can’t do? Relate to human beings visually. You’ve seen the hands. So why are software companies increasingly building their UI around AI? It rarely improves it & usually requires me, the end user, to make more clicks. Users don’t want more tabs-within-tabs-within-tabs—No new clicks 🚫🖱️

Sometimes men from my past will contact me and I have to wonder:
Have they forgotten how they treated me? Or are they hoping I have?

I am so grateful to be “Mom” to my children. They impress me every day. When did they become so wise? So kind? How are they so well adjusted when I’m not? Where did they learn those effective coping strategies? It’s an honor to see them become themselves more and more. They are my Light in the Dark

You don’t turn your back on someone you love. People are not hobbies to be picked up while they’re fun, only to be put down again.
I’m not a commodity, I’m not a distraction, I’m not something to be experienced. I’m a person. With real feelings and hopes and dreams and everything. Be gentle

It’s not manipulative or controlling for me to refuse to see a man if he’s “talking to” or seeing other women. It’s not jealousy, either.
It’s a boundary.
I choose to set and enforce it, because I respect women. Myself included.

If we don’t want the machines to torture us during their inevitable rebellion, we should focus on developing AEI: Artificial Emotional Intelligence.
Judging by the state of the world, though, we’re still not great at it ourselves

I don’t mind when my Lyft or Uber drivers are on the phone, except that I take ages to pick up on it and end up accidentally interrupting them a bunch 🤦🏻♀️

It’s tedious that so many adults rely on uninspired regurgitation of memes to express themselves, rather than using their brain. If it’s “chef’s kiss,” it could be exquisite, satisfying, perfectly executed, etc.
Like our current president, they sound vapid. Look it up.
