I'm seriously thinking about starting writing a book on technosexual representation, just for fun and to keep by brain active #soontobeunemployedthoughts

Oh for fuck's sake.

Happy belated birthday to Miss Winter!

Started listening to it just now, so I'll update you!

This is the only one available on my audio book app. Read it some years ago, but regardless, I've added it to this year's "to be read".

Please let me know if they are!!

I wrote a book, "The Naked Android," about why robots keep getting gendered, by design or “by accident," and how that shapes trust & ideas of what kind of labor or use we imagine they’re for. Form, like voice/language and context of use, sets expectations.

It has 7/10 on IMDB?! 😭💀

One hour in and it's not getting better 🥲 SPOILER-ISH: However it's very upfront with the fact that the robot isn't turning evil over time by itself or always were evil (common tropes); it's the human who alters the programming for evil, selfish reasons. I can't remember I've seen that much before.

Currently watching "Companion" (40 min in) and it's... A take. But so far it somewhat differs from the tropes I've seen before, like this 🤏 much.

Falun is about one hour from where I grew up! Hands down one of the ugliest cities I've been in.

Oops, had I actually looked at the full video I'd realize that they tell the correct pronunciation 🤦

How to pronounce #gråkappan in #Swedish 🇸🇪 #colbert #severance #tramelltillman #svenska #languages YouTube video by memetix

youtube.com/shorts/bmlzL... - It made me think of this haha! I'll try to remember to tell you how 'Gråkappan' (which is a real word) is pronounced, but it's not like this..

@davecat.bsky.social I now realize I may have pronounced "cheap" as "sheep".. But I was dumsnål not to buy fresh numbing cream and instead though that my several year old one would still do the job (it didn't, who would have thought)

To do this on a soft surface isn't as effective (especially the back-cracking part). I think I get more in touch with the sensations in my body while on the floor, so it's easier to enter a meditative state. My bed is where I rest without intention to do this mind/body reset, I just scroll my phone

I lie down on the floor from time to time, not necessarily due to exhaustion, but to meditate for a moment if I've been sitting still for a long time (or been up on my feet without rest). My back tend to crack as well, which is a nice bonus! :-)

TLDR: Floor time is kind of a way to reset myself.

The Spoken Content feature that comes with Apple's products are a bit to robotic and unnatural, so I can't focus on what's being said haha... Need one tool for my work laptop (Apple) and one for my personal computer (Windows).

Does anyone know of a tool that reads texts aloud to you? It'd be extremely helpful to me when reading academic papers.

The English translation of my thesis is available for download now! 🎉 You can find it here: liu.diva-portal.org/smash/record... (it's called "Thesis translated to English 2025").

(I had to proofread it one last time, that's what made me postpone it.)

Brought to you by this prompt I forced on myself this morning ✌️🤪 Now I'm gonna have some well deserved floor time

It took me a billion years, but NOW I've sent my translated thesis for publication, and it's finally actually done for real!!

I'm trying out the web browser Vivaldi and the email service Proton. So far, I'm liking them both!

That I have! (And I just remembered that I forgot to send the translated version to my university for publication 🤦)

Since I haven't been able to make anything recently due to health stuff, I thought I'd share some old work now that this website has more people on it!! This is Ethernet Cable Girlfriend, a short comic I made last year! Robot yuri 💕 (1/7)

A not so fun thing about this method is that the footnotes aren't included. (I may have screamed into my hands when I realized that.)
