NaNoWriMo Has Failed Creativity

Sigh. Deleted my NaNoWriMo account. Now I need to find something similar. I’m ok with people using AI to write with, but not for taking credit for the writing. AI, even in its current infancy is not just a tool the way a keyboard is. NaNoWriMo’s “ableist”/“elist” statement misses the point of …

I need a letter opener to open this letter O.

You need to schedule rest—not just time for not working. You need time to stop thinking, to get away, to heal and gather strength, to enjoy life outside of what you do. #life #success

I’m seriously thinking about deleting my NaNoWriMo account given their stance on AI use. #writing #nanowrimo #failure

I hear this is brutally hard to learn and play. The type of game I hate. I have enough work. #game #solorpg

It’s pretty obvious that billionaires rarely have a good idea of their own. #life #failure

Greetings, humans. Klaatu barada nikto. Time for the ceremonial coffee.

Plan for tomorrow: — Stuff I’d rather not do.

The kitten won’t let me catch or shoo it outside. Time to give it and myself a rest.

Ack! One of the feral kittens got in the house, and now I can’t find it. I have enough other stuff to do #feral #cat

Discovered a baby hibiscus growingg under a bush in my yard. #plant

It’s time to eat a bucket of ice cream

The Gathering: Last night I sat with the opossum that occasionally shows up.

“Just Because” is a holiday worth celebrating every day. #life #success

Excitement isn’t the same as desire or willpower. #life

I think I’ll read and play a game or two now.

I know that the US and Mexico have soap operas. Do any other countries have a daily melodrama series? #tv

Soon, we will have apps to tell us that we have an upset stomach. #ai #life #stupidity

Urgency does not equate to importance. #life

PSA: Remember that security exists to save the company/organization money, not to protect your privacy. That’s just marketing. #security #privacy

Sigh. What is is with developers/security types? I’m seeing more and more websites ask for a passkey/Face ID and then ask for a text-code sent to your phone/email? I get people are paranoid, but when does it end? Security also follows the single source of truth paradigm #security #failure #web

On this Labor Day, I think I’ll have a Caesarian salad and chili for lunch. #food
