Exercising my verbosity by exploiting every music metaphor available. Believe it or not, this passage is about a fucking bug! My second draft edit has not yet reached this scene, if you can't tell. 🫣

Screenshot of a word processor with the word "rush" highlighted. The full text reads: "Mina and Talia both opened their doors, expecting the yowl of startled hawks and whiff of unknown vegetation. A ringing, soprano shriek rushed in instead, on the tail of a damp heat. Breaths thickened with saccharine chlorophyll and sour iron. The piercing keen of a splintered woodwind shifted sharper in its penultimate fermata. It howled through the cab, cresting and crashing, cresting and crashing, cresting and crashing in an unending canon, begging for a resolution to put it out of its misery."

Been a while since we had some good old fashioned Dog on the timeline

Like. Look how cool this is? I'm so stoked.

Tonight I got blocked by a candidate for CA State Assembly for agreeing that he was being inappropriate by belittling a woman who dared to know more than him What a day for "progressive" men, huh

Explain to me, please, as if I were a five year old, how "repository for open knowledge for the betterment of humanity" translates into "we should encourage rent seekers profiting from everyone else's collective work"

Censored User (a woman)

Sure. All software companies are commercial enterprises built on open source work. Open source work can use more funding and resources, but freely building on other people's work in software is healthy and GOOD. That's how we can build, and innovate, and fix bugs.

I've worked with the best...

...and they were firmly pro-open source because they regretted having their hard work locked up in old companies and old IP. They wanted to be able to keep working on their projects even if the company tanked.

You need to learn the basics of the industry before you start advocating on our behalf. That's the job of a good representative.

(And we don't call ourselves "coders".)

Chris Kluwe @chriswarcraft.bsky.social

So Claude is open source then? And sorry for using the wrong nomenclature that didn't meet your gate keeping standards, when I was learning C++ back in high school in the 90's, that's what we called it

Censored User (a woman)

No, it's not open source, but there are LLMs that are pretty powerful that are.

I'm not gate-keeping anything. I'm saying if you want to represent the people, you need to listen to the people, instead of making up issues on their behalf.

Chris Kluwe @chriswarcraft.bsky.social

And you're the people, are you? Confident that no one else in my mentions has contradicted your point of view?

For real. I fucking hate genAl but wow is that response talking over & down to an expert in her field a damning red flag in a candidate for public office. Women are done being talked over, honey.

Also got a good start on this piece yesterday. More moonstone! All stainless (except the bulky heart claps at the end which are just to hold it still while I'm working). This one moves really nicely. Haven't decided whether it'll be a head piece or a necklace yet.

An in-progress chainmail necklace. Larger rings form a V at the center with small moonstone drop beads to accent the larger captive moonstone beads further up the chain on either side.

ellie maybe 🌑@ellie· Jun 29

Finally started getting my jewelry supplies set up yesterday and made myself some cute moonstone danglies today! I haven't worn long earrings in years but I've been feeling more dramatic lately. (yes they are on necklace clasps, the rings in my ears don't come out)

Long earrings made from steel and dyed copper rings and moonstone

Psst my dog is basically a national parks postcard model now

Today I got this awesome new rock (and thieved a tinier chunk of rock that is also awesome, but is still in the car).

A very pretty striated rock with veins in various shades of red and pink. It is very, very cool.

Day 1/6 down. Kansas City is cool looking. Turns out this Very Good Boy only likes SHORT car trips. Good things we only have 9+ hours of road time today. 🫪

I run my first 5k tomorrow morning. I can be extremely competitive, but unfortunately I run slow as fuck. THAT SAID, I am $6 away from knocking out the second place fundraiser. Feed my competitive nature & donate to save some animals on my behalf: give.nashvillehumane.org/fundraiser/7...
