AI shills: it can help you visualise ideas.
Me, with Aphantasia: I can't visualise for shit and I come up with ideas and draw them just fine thanks, only now I have to navigate piles of slop every time I need to find reference pics. 😑

Fuck, I miss my cat.
I opened the bathroom door after getting ready for bed and it hit me that he should be there, ready to tell me off for shutting him out.
There's no one to supervise me making food, or making sure I take the recycling out safely. I feel surrounded by his empty spaces.

And I know which one is the truth, but my brain doesn't want me to do anything to challenge the other, for my own wellbeing.
Before, if he wasn't somewhere I could see him snoozing I would look through all his favourite spots until I found him.
It's like my brain is running two algorithms at once. One knows he's dead & never coming back & one says he's just sleeping somewhere else right now, but he'll be back later.
This is going to sound unhinged but...since losing my cat I've felt a bit like someone living in a simulation - who knows it, but doesn't ever want to acknowledge it.
It doesn't feel like he's gone, it feels like he's just sleeping somewhere else in the house.
But I never go looking for him.
An opinion I pretty firmly hold is that everyone should make a song, paint a painting, act in something, and write a book even if all of those things end up being objectively terrible
Fields of Mistria’s 4th Major Update arrives February 23rd ✨
I had to let my cat go tonight 💔
It was the kind thing to do but it hurts like a motherfucker. My chest hurts from crying - I damn near gave myself an asthma attack crying, which I didn't know was a thing. I feel dehydrated and hollow.
I'm going to miss him so much.

My take on the coin rat! (That makes all da rules) sorry it's not coloured just wanted to make it a silly one!
More bad news. Feeling sad. Is there a good reason I shouldn't double-dip & re-buy Baldur's Gate 3 on PS5 (while it's on sale)?
I'm slightly concerned because I don't want to support Larian & their generative AI usage, but I played BG3 from early access & have been wanting to pick it up on console.

For the record I don't think JKR did anything on a certain island.
But I DO think this is absolutely indicative of how much some women bend over backwards to protect actual abusers, even as they cry that they're just trying to protect women and children by erasing other people's rights.
becoming clearer that "protect young girls" was a bit of projection
It's an insult to thousands of wonderful, caring, children's authors ❤️
But what IS suspicious is inviting (formerly Prince) Andrew to the set of your magical world for kids, post-Epstein allegations, & deleting all the historical travel records of a boat that may have been near that island...
Adobe announced it's killing off Animate (formerly Flash), abandoning millions of artists who depend on the software while continuing its push into AI-heavy toolsets.

You now get to add pedophile to the list, isn't that wild.
People cried on camera about getting rude comments for playing the transphobic pedophile wizard game.
It became the offramp to fascism for many streamers.
The transphobic pedophile wizard game.
I feel actually violated 🤢
The only other AI-free cloud based writing platform I know is Ellipsis, but it doesn't feel very intuitive and there's no way to write offline (AFAIK). I also don't think you can upload and organise folders of writing, it just seems to be for creating new single docs 😕
Ever since I had a major hard drive crash years ago I've kept my writing in Google Docs, in Google Drive, so they'd always be in the cloud regardless of my computer malfunctions.
I just opened my writing folder to find a Gemini AI summary of my own writing.
I feel actually nauseated.
