Today one of the psychiatrists warned me the waitlist to get the autism diagnosis is months long but she sugared it with a "We can tell though. Yeah you got it, like, in general, high functioning" and it's great to have a confirmation from a total of six psychiatrists but I will be needing that piece of paper because People Do Not Just Believe Me In General. So months it is

A good rule of thumb for AI is "would you trust a trained pigeon to do this?"

"We trained a pigeon to recognise cancerous cell clusters and somehow they're really good at it" okay great, that's something that could plausibly be a thing.

"We trained a pigeon to recognise good CV:s and left it in charge of sorting through all our job applications" uh perhaps consider not doing that.

absolutely love abusing the power that comes with 3rd person limited pov and just ignoring things and being vague sometimes. does the character know all the details? no? then I don't have to either.

I assure you: somebody, somewhere, is on the exact same wavelength as you are.

Maybe being good at social media should not be the main qualifier for all creative work

If I had teleporting powers I'd set up the best Hunger Games ever

First I'd get a boat. Medium sized, enough places to hide, small enough for a sense of doom, some food and health resources on it

Then I'd bring the boat to the buoy that shows the place farthest from any mainland. Teleport real quick to anchor the boat to it in an irreversible way

Then I'd go pick up very specific people, not making names but you can assume, and bring them to the boat, explain the situation easy and fast with a "last one standing wins life in prison" and leave

I'm not sure I could secure satellite livestream on the boat on my own but I'm sure if I drop the news about it someone will figure it out

We enjoy the livestream, make bets, work on human rights and climate change in the meantime

When there's one left I teleport on the boat (masked of course) and tell them congrats, hand them a treasure hunt map for a nice bomb with a timer and teleport away

The bomb is fairly easy to find. When the winner finds and disables it we nuke the boat

The year after I do it again with the people I didn't pick to not overcrowd the game and so on

New summer, new constellations of mosquito bites

plus one below my hipbone on the left and one above the hipbone on the right. yknow the area the underwear, pants and shirts like to brush against 24/7

Leaned against a streetlight too nonchalantly and got an instant crick in my neck

When you mix the ancestral human need of throwing rocks, the ancestral human need to be an asshole, the ancestral human need of kaboom and the ancestral human need for More Speed you get cannons and guns

Me: I want to read

Brain: the to-be-read pile is all over the room

Me: no easier dopamine

Brain: fanfic?

Me: no it's not tailored enough to my tastes

Brain: read your own writing

Me: no I'm sick of it and not feeling its vibe

Brain: we could practice drawing

Me: no I don't want to do that

Brain: what do you want to do

Me: I want to read

You ever start drifting off to sleep and your thoughts start derailing and you're just like 'yeah this makes sense I understand it' and then your body takes a screenshot and you're wide awake with a flash imprint of some parrot with rainbow led lights on it screaming "bisexuals!" turning a corner around a couch and you kind of know it's related to Jafar and the parrot Iago from Disney Aladdin and you're like, what the fuck was that

One of my favorite tropes is character with a nasty toxic personality who tries very hard to do the right thing anyway

So I've been relocating jumping spidies from my bedroom to the garden. It's been quite a few at this point but I had yet to see one outside around the spot I release them at.

Well I'd caught a tiny one and went about my usual proceedings, dropping it at the spot, and! I see a black dot moving around, and it was a slightly bigger spidey dragging around a giant fly. I was sad I didn't see the hunt and catch, but I stayed to observe. And I saw an ant cross its path and immediately try to chase it off. Spidey gave up but didn't go far. So I, the enormous god that had brought it from the dreary attic to the paradise garden, thumbed the ant away, picked up the giant fly and dropped it near my spidey. I scared it and it scuttled down the border of the patio, but I didn't give up on my tiny child. I picked up the fly, dangled it near enough so that my protégé could see it, and I dropped it some centimetres away. My tiny child went to retrieve it and scuttled away. I then rained divine rage upon the ants by blowing at the line of them that was too close.

Thrive and prosper my tiny children.
