So. MIT supposedly did a small, no peer reviewed study showing how AI can contribute to "cognitive atrophy". Of course, this tech is new so it will take a while to get actual studies, but ... well ... most people use it to not have to think so...

I always remind hubs we live in a place where the air hurts our face because giant insects. 😂

We are supposed to get 7 in of snow tomorrow night. so. there's that. 😂

Thanks. I am still trying to process it. It was sudden and so a kick in the teeth.

For anyone who needs to know, @whitewolfwidow.bsky.social has passed away. She passed right before Thanksgiving. Maybe no one will see this, but just in case I wanted to put it out there. I will miss her, my sister from another mister. I am struggling to accept it. RIP sister.

Had a convo with hubs last night. What #GenX out there remembers having not just a rotary phone, but the touch phones that had the little switch to flip if you didn't have a touch tone phone line?

Crossed a thing off my bucket list. I grew up in TN but never went to the Bell #Witch cave. When visiting there this last time, I made a point to go. I'll be honest, I was a little underwhelmed, but still enjoyed it. Didn't see any weird things tho. #paranormal #ghosts #haunting

I had been wanting a ghost bag since I saw ppl have them the last time we went to Disney in Oct. I have been watching the shop like a hawk. 😂

Getting an early start on #Halloween shopping...

My youngest is an amazing #artist. I am trying to convince them to work with me to design some #tarot card decks. They have an intense love of #anime, so I am trying to convince them to ask for licenses to do their favorite ones.

I HATE CALLING #Mohela ABOUT MY #STUDENTLOANS. I CAN NEVER GET TO TALK TO SOMEONE. Whoever thought it was a good idea to make everything automated is an asshole. I have been stuck trying to get someone to ask a question that isn't answered by their bs automated system.

Hi! Yea. I am good. thanks! Just needed a sm break. 😁

I had to go to Michael's craft store for screen print ink (I prayed they had it, they did!) and much to my delight...they have some of the cutes damn #Halloween decorations on par with what Joann Fabrics had. I am so glad there is a store to fill that void Joann's left. 💙

And yes, I searched Etsy for things I thought she would have there, and I haven't found it yet. Don't be upset if ppl don't follow up if you don't give them a good way to follow up. It sucks bc I wanted the rest of the print set that I could only buy 2 of.

FYI to #creators that do cons/other in person shop stuff. It is really important to offer business cards with your information, esp if that person bought something. I bought something at Origins and she didn't have cards, just a QR code and I closed the tab on my phone and lost the etsy store page.

Went to Origins Game Fair/Con last week/end and I had a lot of fun. Played some fun games. Bought way too much stuff...but did get some pretty cool The Last Unicorn things. Now have to get back into the home life with cleaning and summer school starting up soon.

Savvy 13-year-old Teton wolf almost breaks all-time age record - WyoFile Gray male, the oldest Wyoming wolf ever documented, lived a mysterious existence amid human development, perched in the mountainsides overlooking Teton Valley, Idaho.

Wolf 840M, a gray male wolf, lived longer than any of the 1,500+ wolves tracked in Wyoming since reintroduction began 30 years ago.

Collared in 2012, he avoided traps and cameras, roaming the Teton Range. His incredible survival reflects the legacy of a truly savvy wild wolf.
