Bio major 🧪 PNW 🏔️ They/them + she/her Alt account for art/comics/nerd stuff + spicy tech opinions 👹 🚫AI

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time.

Bored of talking about AI. What’s your favorite piece of low tech? Mine is my Breville sandwich press. No buttons, just plug in and unplug. Great for paninis but also reheating pizza & french fries, cooking chicken cutlets, what have you. Wipe clean with a paper towel and store.

We started rewatching the X-files a couple weeks back (spouse never watched it all the way through, just started season 2) and I am super pleased at the coincidence of quality X-files stuff trickling into my feed at the same time.
