Tradition in my polycule that I wanna offer up here:

I'm going to the tip today.

If anyone has any emotional baggage they want rid of, write it down on a piece of paper (or, I guess, toot) and I'll take it with me to dispose of.

edit: I've already been, so you're too late to take me up on my offer. But you're welcome to adopt the tradition if it helps you :)

Hey all, looking for #Fediverse authors to add to the end of future blog posts.

I always end an essay or whatever with a call to someone else's book. Like, if you liked this, you might like this book.

The podcast version gets a full synopsis readout. The web version gets a evergreen link. I do not review books, because everyone deserves to be read and enjoyed without my judgement.

So can you tell me what you write and share links to your books? All will be included in future blog posts. I recommend one at a time, one per post, because I want to give that writer space to shine.

Also, while I am MIA, resting, could you boost this?

No man earns punishment, no man earns reward. Free your mind of the idea of deserving, the idea of earning, and you will begin to be able to think.

HRT will work regardless of age.

There are trans folks taking HRT and seeing results as old as SEVENTY and even EIGHTY.

If it's taking a while to see effects, that's not because of the HRT, that's just how your body works with the hormones.

I've been on T for ten years, and I'm only now seeing decent facial hair, and I'm still working on a happy trail. But that's just how it works for me.

Everyone is different, and genetics play a factor. It also won't have results if you can't be consistent or if you give up early.

What isn't a factor is age.

It's never too late to start HRT, stop letting bigots tell you otherwise.

I decided to be smothered

what about in your community

A few thoughts on the AI bubble:

1. The "no business model" critique is wrong for FAANG; they’re posting record profits while spending billions. It’s startups like OpenAI and Thinking Machines that can’t justify their valuations.

2. Circular deals (Nvidia funding OpenAI to buy Nvidia chips) are a major 🚩. It feels similar to the Lucent & Enron collapses.

3. The internet took a decade post-crash to change everything. AI will likely take just as long, but investors are betting on 2–4 years.

'Niiname-sai', the 'Harvest of the 5 Cereals' (新嘗祭), can be traced back to at least Emperor Tenmu (631-86), and continues to be celebrated by the imperial household.

Newly harvested rice, grains and other foods are dedicated to the gods.

I'm as anti-AI as anyone else here. But cases like this crack wide open the 'assume students know what you're asking of them from the off'*, 'make or break' culture that's evolved in education over the past however many years. 4/4

*I was in my final year of undergraduate before I stopped learning stuff by rote, changed revision tactics to reading additional material rather than going over and over stuff I'd already learned in order to parrot it, and actually thought creatively in an exam.

Alors évidemment, ça va être un article de vulgarisation où la majorité de mon lectorat habituel ne va pas apprendre grand-chose, mais si ça peut servir à clarifier les choses…
