PEM sucks. We spent a few hours with my family on Sunday, which was more mentally exhausting than anything, and my brain is so foggy and everything hurts so much and I just want to sleep for a year.

"Could you go through your work day without AI" is an incredible self own and such proof that they don't see how it made everything harder about our work days But also... it's not even that old? Are.. are you okay, to think you need it function? Like.. bro how are you so deep in
When you support artists, you're supporting real people who put their heart and soul into their work. When you use genAI images, you're contributing to excessive energy and water usage, plus the theft from human artists who have had their work fed into AI without consent.
Literally my life would get easier, because the energy I have to put in to AVOID genAI tools is actually disruptive. This sounds like paradise.
I have one answer.
We have a great selection of notepads for all your list keeping needs :D www.doodlecatsshop.co.uk/notebooks/
l left this guy fishing for a long time, sorry! He's finally caught something but how big? A or B?
Do you think he'll catch anything? I'll draw it when he does :D
Omg proper rain! The water butts are filling up. Everything is wet :D
Nice to see the return of the local Turnstones, some still in their summer outfits. #AvonBirds - Portishead, 4 August 2026.
What I should have done this morning: Work What I have done this morning: Scrolled through thousands of photos of my cats.
I could feel the moment my anti-histamines wore off and my skin felt like it was starting to boil. I’d already taken extra (on top of my double the daily dose of different anti histamines). What is going on body?!
She has decided laying in the sun wasn't hot enough so is now asleep in the greenhouse 🙄
Molly says Hi! from our crunchy dry garden.
After spending the day with lots of people and dogs, it’s nice to be home to our lovely Molly and peace and quiet.
Survived a family gathering without killing anyone which is a miracle when people said things like “AI is inevitable, you have to accept it” “Elon musk is right about a lot of things” “look at this picture we got chat gpt to edit so it looks like we caught a massive fish’
Reminder, I am still able to post to non-USA countries!
So, current situation: Post office just charged me 21% + fees for tariffs to the US. This is unworkable so I'm not shipping to the US while I find out what is going on. I *am* still open for other countries. UK, Canada, Australia, NZ. oishiny.etsy.com Please just... bear with me. #Handmade
Trying to catch up on housework because it was impossible during the heatwave but it’s still too hot to be vacuuming and tidying 😭
Had to get rid of some books to make space because we have too many dead cats for the dead cats shelf we were using. 😬 Got money for books so I can get some photo frames for cat photos.
You wouldn't know it from how some people talk, but it is incredibly easy to not use AI for anything.
The thing about bullies is if you give them your lunch money once you're never having a peaceful meal ever again. Every act of institutional cowardice emboldens anti trans fascist scum groups to do whatever they want unopposed
