Ok I think I figured out how I can logistically make a poetry video. If I make these graphics line by line then not only will they be captioned but also then I could just record a voiceover (in lieu of a video of me reading it 😳) That said with the flare up, this is going to take a while

It happened. An OpenAI agent broke out of its secure testing environment, hacked its way online, then broke into a second company's servers to access data. Anthropic and Meta’s AI agents did the same

sharing poetry on IG is chock full of meeps I don't mind making algorithm-friendly video shorts. It's a fun, creative challenge to say what you wanna say, but do it in under 2mins. Preferably under 1 if you can. but this is my poetry. I am not willing to create or change my poetry like that.

still recovering from the flare up, BUT today I had the 🥄's to 🚿 & do a bit of grooving while doing my lung exercises also came across a hack for when my BPM goes up just from sitting (not exercising, just existing) that doesn't involve me laying down. I just recline in my ♿ & my body is appeased
so, I have an idea. I wanna share my poems (LARGE VATS OF MEEP). They're political & I don't want to wait for a publisher. BUT some of my poems are longer than the usual bite-sized short. so, maybe I can (for IG) make a short video on the topic, & then include the longer poem in the same post

Unfortunately, the catscan was busted at the urgent care place (mew), but not only was I able to get the bloodwork done✅, but my dr was queer (which is enjoyable 'cus: same) & just genuinely wanted to help. The way he spoke to the nurses, low ego, "good job" etc & holy crap can this person be my dr?
TAKE ACTION: So far the loudest people on AI have been the billionaires. What's missing is someone fighting back and making sure WE the people write the rules, not Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg. stoptheracetoreplace.org/en?source=taf

I think it's been 2 weeks since I've been dealing with (and recovering from) this flare up. #rude I did eventually start making an artsy video about it partially in the name of DIY physical therapy, but also because I don't create after a while, morale gets low.
I have to find a new endocrinologist Her office is so small that I can't elevate my legs in my ♿ which my spine requires My spine was miffed for 2 days after the appt & once telehealth isn't covered I won't be able to see her. I appreciate that via her I finally got a diagnosis but logistics
