True story: I have no idea what's going on on this site anymore because I unfollowed one rando for posting LLM-generated horndog slop of a certain anti-trans, anti-houseless political figure and my scrollbar disappeared.
Super functional webpage. Not at all duct-tape code. No notes.

Once again thinking about how #GenCon keeps hosting here even though Indiana is speedrunning the kind of legislation that generally leads to this.
Less "disabled people can't do art without LLMs" discourse and more "stop supporting art-gentrifiers" discourse, please.
Glad that you're safe.
With that context, then I agree with your original assessment that it's probably night, unless the sunrise is likely to occur during your scene.
Very sorry for any confusion and stress stemming from this interaction.
The writing questions that people discuss in my circles are usually in some way about characters, dialogue, or other setting choices within scripts or books, so it wasn't clear to me that this was about scene headings, even though I know that in most cases those are limited to night and day.
If it must be one or the other, it might depend on factors like alertness and whether the character is staying up or just standing guard briefly, then returning to bed.
BUT, if appropriate to the tone of the project, it could be an opportunity to explore the psychological impacts of liminal states?
Feel free to disregard as I'm more an actor but, imo, depends on the chronotype or schedule of the perspective character, if a character's perspective is relevant for the scene.
If your characters have been up all night, it's night, but if they're morning people, just waking up, it's probably day.
Until the majority of people can finally accept that all people have worth, and any discrimination for something a person can't change is wrong, and that we need to take care of people who can't care for themselves, fascism is going to keep winning

Amazing
Just learned of hlankets from this skeet and already need one in my life.

Can we please collectively stop referring to it as "AI," which is inaccurate, makes it sound vastly less terrible than what it actually is, and allows some of the worst people on the planet to frame the narrative?
Took my two oldest kids to a doctors appointment today and their doctor just kept thanking us for still masking. She said masks help in so many different ways and ppl are underutilizing them especially with everything thatβs going around right now. #maskup #covidisstillhere
Whew the way men and mascs feel entitled to the empathy and energy of women they've never met and barely heard of.
AIRSHIP though. Are we sure it isn't from 1887?
I will never, ever vote for Gavin Newsom. Ever, under any circumstances. I don't care if he becomes the Dem nominee, he's still not getting my vote.
Not voting for the guy who recorded himself stealing from unhoused people is such an easy red line, too.
Please help save Medicaid. Medicaid keeps disabled kids across the US alive and with their families.
I'm here for community. So, I often get bored of wading through the follow farmers et al. and wander away from the site. Maybe that's happening to others also?
And it doesn't help that my accessibility settings constantly reset, or that the timeline seems algorithm-based, rather than chronological.
Last year there was a window where I may have been making friends (and I do have some nice mutuals and some whose stuff is nice to see, or beneficial to the community), but now I see a lot of "clutter" when I go to discover new ppl. Mutuals seem quieter. Most of them don't interact with my posts and
That's amazing, and it's terrific that you were able to work from home, even if it's had an effect on your career.
I generally don't work now because most of the jobs I'm offered cannot be done remotely and the employers aren't mitigating covid.
But community safety will always be the priority.
I feel extremely lucky that my doctor still wearks a mask (which isn't much, but every provider who masks feels like a small victory).
But there's nothing like walking past a waiting room for a dept which treats extremely medically vulnerable people and it's full of coughing, maskless people. π
One of many jarring things I saw this year was somebody saying that they're about to be houseless & then "sorry for being a bummer."
I... You're SORRY for struggle you didn't invite?
Whatever mood cops are out there shaming people for their crises need to examine their priorities in life.
My household HAD some but they belonged to a different member. No one listened when I said we actually DID need them. So, they donated them to the same people who are now just masks-off, spreading covid.
I got covid zero times, but I have modified my whole life to avoid covid.
I went from double cotton masks to N95s.
Wanted to start with N95s but the government was snatching them all up while claiming that people didn't need them.
