The *only* acceptable questions from strangers in a public ladies are "are you waiting/queuing", "is there any loo roll in that one", and "do you have a spare tampon."
Natacha@natacha.bsky.social · yesterdayIf someone asks you “What is your sex?” In a toilet, they are the weirdo. If they ask you “What sex were you assigned at birth?” They want to know what your genitals looked like when you were a baby. I would look at anyone doing this in the same I would look at Rod Liddle talking about porn.

That would be a cool thing to do with... spoke cards, tarot, that lucky ace of spades. I even put a scannable gym card under my phone case. How did I miss this fun?

The short version is: after a month the AI has not given me any good reasons to trust it, and I am honestly freaked out by the confidence with which it weaves completely wrong facts into prose, and the confidence with which it writes and professionally formats entire sections of bullshit.
Where bracken forms a monoculture, I mark baby trees like this oak with a fence post or rock, then every so often cut any emerging ferns within a small radius, allowing the tree to reach the light and mature. It's working with nature to release a whole new rainforest ecosystem.
For writers worried that they won't be able to "prove" their work isn't Spicy Autocomplete--worry not. You thought about every choice and will be able to talk about those choices easily and clearly. Folks who used the slop machine didn't make choices and won't have anything to say about why

“The city’s transition away from the car, tho fantastically chaotic, has become a global role model. Under mayor @annehidalgo.bsky.social, Paris was ‘the most influential city in the world’ says Canadian urbanist Brent Toderian. Hidalgo, stepping down after 12 yrs, exulted: ‘The bike beat the car.’”
