Feeling very.. invisible lately. Forgotten. Friends seem too busy these days to even say hello. I try making plans to hang out? Get ignored. Or already existing plans get ditched last minute on a whim. Even just reaching out for conversation is met with indifference... it makes you feel unwanted.
If you have a Gmail account, you need to read this. Google's AI now scans your emails and attachments, bank statements, tax files, medical letters, all of it. It turned on by default, and there's a class-action lawsuit over how. Here are 5 moves to shut it off, the switch is hidden in two places:

Techbros seem to love Tolkien, so here's an analogy to help you understand what genAI is. GenAI is The One Ring. You think your use is justified, b/c you don't have evil in your heart. But it came from evil, it is intended for evil purpose, & anything you do with it will be twisted to that end.
I'm about at my fucking limit. This cross-country move has pushed me to my breaking point, both physically and mentally. The moving company we used was completely incompetent, broke multiple pieces of furniture including my nice sit/stand desk, and packed things so poorly we can't find *anything*.

Today we would like to recognize Ken Sample aka Ken Cougar. A Black man who is credited with creating and coining the term "Fursona". While drawing one of his "Exotics" Ken drew a Cougar character that looked strikingly like himself. Attendees of this conference also wanted their own characters!
Doodled my alligator gal, Estelle. Figured out a better outfit for her! 😅
Back hurts like hell, feet and knees feel like pins and needles, I'm exhausted and my whole body aches. Been up all night long packing and prepping. Finally lay down in bed to rest. Look at the time... the movers will be arriving in about 30 minutes or so for phase one. No sleep for me I guess. ×--×

Poem sent around at work for Poetry Wednesday (a tradition of the English dept). I thought people here would appreciate.
One surefire way to make sure I *never* listen to a DJ perform ever again is when they put a sudden ear-piercing scream at the beginning of their set as a high-volume jumpscare. Not only did it literally hurt my ears, it spiked my anxiety to 100 immediately, and is an accessibility issue for others.

Fashion designer Jeremy Scott delivers commencement speech to Kansas City Art Institute graduates. Wait for it…
While it's always good to get to see friends in person, enjoy the raves, and all the entertainment a con has to offer... I think I'm gonna be taking a long break before I consider going back to another convention. FWA had it's good moments, but it was filled with more disappointment than enjoyment.
