GM, Editor, Bi, Trans, trying to have as much fun as I can while I can. Going by Andarta when I remember, was going by Ben but want to bury that name. PFP by @naxxremise.bsky.social

"Developed by Datamind Audio, Concatenator is an innovative AI-powered 'audio mosaicing' plugin that can transform an entire sample library into a playable instrument using a technique called concatenative synthesis." AI used on Charli XCX's new album so that's an album I'm not listening to. 🤗

I promise, this is the last time I’ll do this this week. But I don’t have many other options—plus, it makes me want to keep fighting, despite the collapse of the freelance landscape. On Patreon or Ko-fi, feel free to leave a tip if you enjoy my threads, ship design story, and other sci-fi antics.🖖

There is news I do not like to share. RIP Sam Neill. The New Zealand actor has had a prodigious career, notably in sci-fi. How could one forget his role in Event Horizon (1997)? But also Bicentennial Man (1999), Thor: Ragnarok, the Jurassic Park series, or his appearance in Invasion (AppleTV).

Is this why I pushed myself so hard last year the moment I started to have an ounce of executive function? Yes, it is. Now it's all finished for me thankfully... but it's not for so many others. Privatizing a needed part of the government is horrendous, and it was the tip of the iceberg.

Woman in Alberta today reported while trying to renew her driver's license, she was told that because her birth certificate didn't match her married name on her health card and current license, she couldn't renew. This despite having her passport, which did match, with her. #ableg #abpoli
