I was filling out a new patient form and accidentally submitted it with only this in the “Please list current stressors in your life” input Meant to add more but you know what I think this captures it well enough

Online form with field for “Please list current stressors in your life” input, inside it Anna entered “I work in tech” and nothing else

We have some low res home cameras for checking on the cats Sometimes I think the best pictures are the crappy ones.

Black cat in a cat tree, but the camera shot is in black and white and warping the image in a way that makes the cat look like a void silhouette with glowing eyes.

Hey #Seattle, spread the word: Tuesday it’s time to hold Mayor Wilson to her promise to turn off the survelliance cameras after #FIFA

The last World Cup match is Monday, which means it is time for Mayor Wilson to keep her word. She committed to turn off the stadium district police surveillance cameras immediately after the final game. When the Mayor activated this surveillance grid, she risked the safety and data of our most vulnerable neighbors.
The games are about to be over and the cameras must be turned off
immediately. Join us for a rally and press conference to tell the Mayor directly: TURN OFF THE CAMERAS!
Here are the details you need to know:
When: Tuesday, July 7th at 1:00 PM
Where: Seattle City Hall
Plaza, 600 4th Ave
Why: Hold Mayor Wilson accountable to her public promise and demand the immediate

Felix and Onyx are both registered emotional support animals. As you can notice here my boi is hard at work.

I know I’ve dragged AP news for this before but I’m gonna do it again: enable accessibility is an accessibility antipattern Do better AP

Sat at this table at the book store and realized it was one of the tables used in Chilis in the 2000s Just a feeling in my bones, passed down from some ancestral booth-laminate sommelier gene I never asked for. An utterly useless skill

I like crane games. Annoyingly I seem to only win when I'm on my own. And of course I don't even care about the stuffed animals, I just like playing. I usually donate the toys

I hate that now when I see images online, like this Link from Ocarina of time using his Ocarina to smoke a fat dab, and have to wonder if it’s AI generated. I want to know a sicko put time into making this, I need to know they’re just that committed to the bit. Otherwise, this fat dab is dabless.

Link from Ocarina of time using his Ocarina to smoke a fat dab. The clouds and sky look like they’re rendered differently than the game. And yet it seems so close to the game graphics that it seems possibly AI generated rather than edited.

My son likes the pride nails (He nipped me two seconds after this was taken)

Bruges, Paris, and Amsterdam: thank you for the reprieve from the horrors I return to. Good news is this is gonna be me with my cats soon

Two Children with a Cat Judith Lester (1609-1660) oil on canvas, c 1629. A boy in colourful attire abruptly snatches a treat from under the cat's nose. At the same time, he keeps the animal away from the grabbing hands of the other child. The cat seems afraid of the little boy and might lash out unexpectedly. And then, it would become a mix of laughter and tears. Judith Lester's loose painting style contributes to the vivacity.

Flupa UX days was a treat! Thanks all for coming! I forgot I make organizers nervous before I give talks because I get very quiet lol. Sorry! It helps me quiet my mind, giving me focus and calm before speaking! The audience was very kind and appreciated the opening in French 💙

She is on stage with a screen displayed about how we need to govern AI, and mentioning how design systems used to govern what gets built. Now they have to govern what AI is allowed to generate from what got built.

AI could never

Anna standing in awe of the many stain glass windows and ornate architecture of the Sainte-Chapelle in Paris. The windows are a dazzling array of blues yellows and reds with the walls painted from top to bottom in gold and various reds, blues, greens, and yellows. Many other people stand in the room alongside Anna looking up into this marvel of humanity.

Can you hear the lil sniffing noises through this photo?

Sometimes I wonder if the people I've called out in my talks/articles are aware of it and now have on their "shit list." And then I think "Good, they're on my shit list too."
