I probably won't be posting here anymore--instead, I'm going to be on Mastodon at @spnylbstr@vis.social. Feel free to follow me over there if you're so inclined!

@richard_gwynne @ZJAyres I know what you mean--the weirdest part is how long it can go on without being able to pin down anything other than 'my brain isn't working right.'

I think I'm gonna vote a little bit today. Not EVERY measure. The ballot's super long and I'm probably gonna get snacky soon. But at least some. God I love mail-in voting in Colorado.

Favorite office chair for under $500? Bonus if I can snag it on Amazon!

@generativist @JonAskonas If you fly back out you definitely won't. Especially if it's at night. His totally normal, blood-red, backlit glowing eyes really pop against a black night sky. You know, like all totally normal 32-foot-tall anatomically accurate horse statues.

@laurenshippen That said, I used to think it was "Berenstein Bears" and now I just know I don't know what it is.

@Stretchedwiener @arvalis Clearly, the next step is to collect all the nightmare images and use them as the training set for a new AI. And then this glorious, nightmare-fueled, nightmare-generating masterpiece will usher in a new flood of fleshy impossibilities.

@i_max @arvalis Me too. I'm furiously gathering ALL the nightmares before things "get better". I fucking hate pretty lady pictures. HATE IT.

AI guys keep trying to recreate my art. It is not going well for them.

@arvalis Honestly, I'm really enjoying the 'nightmare fuel' stage of AI image development. With any luck, it'll never successfully crawl out of it and we'll have an endless stream of images of near-elder-things

@jessejanderson Upside? It really increases the odds I get work done. Downside? It really decreases the odds I shower or eat.

@jessejanderson I leave my work 'out', so that I can't not see it. My work is all computer-based, so that really means I leave windows open and maximized at the end of the day, so that when I come back into my home office, that's the first thing I see (while sleepy/vulnerable to hyperfocus).

ADHD often has a major impact on how we function in the workplace. What are some strategies you’ve used to stay focused and do your job effectively?

@AdiFoord Griffiths is absolutely the best textbook I've ever used, and one of the best physics or math texts I own!

@IsinAltinkaya Lastly, presenting to my cats (especially when they wander around) is EXTRA helpful for me because it forces me to adapt to real-time disruptions and get used to presenting to a hostile audience😝 I hope some of this is helpful--feel free to DM if you have any questions!

@IsinAltinkaya I also look for 'nodders'--if the audience is large enough, there's almost always one person who looks encouraging, and whenever I feel my routine slipping, I tend to look at them.

Oops... I have my first ever academic presentation on Monday, and I did the mistake of googling how to do a good presentation. "Maintain eye contact" "Employ nonverbal cues" "Do not fidget, twitch, wiggle, squirm, or scratch" They all sound terrifying #ActuallyAutistic
