Only because we’re used to chaos and torment and don’t know entirely how to relax

Ah shit I realise it was definitely the 80s but I was small

Sometimes I laugh to myself about my Irish colleague’s recital of a sheep worming ad that used to play when he was small. I can’t ask him to do it again without sounding REALLY WEIRD but I totally get it. It’s like me hearing Piccadilly radio jingles in my head from 90s Manchester

They smile at me when I describe it and say β€œI can do that”

Idk why but they do. I think I’m a posh middle aged lady who wants a nasty nasty drink that makes people cough and say β€œJesus”

The spicy margaritas were in teeny teeny tiny cans from the supermarket. I do not make homemade cocktails lightly, I like a brutal margarita with far too much cheap tequila in. A rare treat. Female bartenders love me when I ask for it to be nasty and use the cheap tequila so it tastes harsher

My professional qualifications board have just emailed me to say they’ll take disciplinary action against me if I have child support or maintenance that’s two years overdue or exceeds $10k

And… I think I love that for us?

She’s wishing you wonderful sex! Can’t fault her for that. Beats β€œwarm regards” the most damned with faint praise sign off in history

It turns out that the kind of chronic illness I’ve had all my life is probably POTS and that’s why I work from home and spend the weekends lying down without the strength to speak to anyone

If I hadn’t had alcohol I wouldn’t let myself think this because my whole life has been enforced denial

This is really a reflection that people are odd, except that he was a very specifically scary guy and she was in fact probably wise to leave.

My grandad’s neighbour, a man not that much older than me, had his wife leave him for swearing. She went to her parents’.

We joked that my husband would have to seek refuge in the face of my profane vocabulary

"We realized we were making ourselves deeply vulnerable to a class action suit that absolutely would have wiped us out financially so we're going to find a way to do this without actual human names attached."

Oh noooooo

I hope it’s worth it. I have to look like I am ok with AI and it harms my soul but my colleagues are decent people and they pay me lots so while I can keep going I do

If the balanced tipped to more brainless AI and less decency I couldn’t keep going

It’s amazing how even when he’s fully sundowning with dementia he has the instinct to show the world they’re his bitches and he’s deeply psychologically abusing them

Going to work as an expensive public sector consultant looking like a cross between twilight sparkle and courtney love adding more stick on sparkles and smeared red lipstick every time someone says AI πŸ’€

I cannot. I won’t. My colleagues are great and would be concerned for my MH. 😏

I’ve had two spicy margaritas to distance myself from the BULLSHIT and I am tired of holding space for the crappy circle jerk of crappy men who sneer at things women and girls like BECAUSE we like them

Makes me want to go about dressed like a gyaru because fuck off

We don’t want to burn the fucking earth away to save face for the most abject cunts in history and every shitty sales guy who wishes he could be like them

They can all fuck off. I am too perimenopausal for so much silence in the face of BOLLOCKS

The thing is I am SO FUCKING ON BOARD for data aggregation IF IT IS ETHICAL and for automation!! I love it!!!

This is like a fake version of that for the kind of manager that thinks shouting at people makes them work harder and doesn’t want to understand a problem just swing genitals.

Every time I am forced to engage with shitty AI I lose about 3 hours of useful time to managing the exhaustion that comes with a lifetime of fucking suppressed rage

I am sick of holding space for the stupid circle jerk of the worst men. Use it to minute meetings? Sure. To make art? fuuuck offfffff

Thousands of authors publish β€˜empty’ book in protest over AI using their work About 10,000 writers including Kazuo Ishiguro, Philippa Gregory and Richard Osman join copyright campaign

AI is based upon pirated work. Big names got behind this campaign but probably every author has been ripped off in some way.
