I think whenever anyone wants to talk AI with me, I'm going to suggest they watch TNG's "The Game."

I am not doing good at time management or indeed any approximation of knowing what day it is, but today was the last day to drop off art for the Somerville Open Studios and I managed to get this done just in time. Despite 1) running out of black thread (howwwww) and 2) goofing up the insignia the first time. Still. She looks good.
I probably did not need to agonize as much as I did over whether it’s the right shade of teal/blue but who am I even if I can’t overthink things.
I want to give #Mastodon a proper go this time, but it's hard to connect with people when no-one follows you, and hashtags only get you so far. 😞
So, if you like one of the hashtags below, please consider following me, and if you do, I'll follow you back! Thank you. 💗

Now that I know that I'm autistic as well as ADHD, and I'm starting to understand how overwhelm, shutdown and burnout work, I can see why identified so strongly with the character of Odo in Deep Space 9. I too need to spent part of my day (week, month) as a puddle of goo in the back of my office ; )
Wonderful news: The #StarTrek "Deep Space Nine" documentary "What We Left Behind" is now available for free on YouTube!
This is the first time European fans can watch it legally (outside of the few public screenings that happened back in 2018 when the movie was released).
Legally blind Strange New Worlds actor Bruce Horak (Hemmer) had news earlier this spring that I somehow missed:
- a crowdfunded documentary is being made about his ‘Boldly going’ as a disabled actor and visual artist
- he met with William Shatner, who has agreed for Bruce to paint his portrait. (Bruce paints as he sees with his very limited vision in one eye.)
Here’s a report from CTV from his hometown of Calgary filed in March.
“And he says he’s an example of how DEI works – for everyone.
“When you design for disability, everyone benefits,” he said, pointing out that phone texting started as something to assist the hearing-impaired and now it’s for everyone.”

It’s kind of rare for a show to get this much of a warning that their show is ending. So not only has the third season not yet aired (July 17), the fourth season is in production, and finally they’ll get a truncated fifth season of 6 episodes (instead of 10). I should hope they’ll be able to wrap it up nicely in that case.
