A friend of mine commented the other day after me explaining what the #fediverse is (he'd never come across the term, despite knowing about #mastodon), that it was more web3 than the crypto stuff was 🤣
I have to agree...it's a much better vision for how the web can evolve, even though many of the concepts have been around since, or even before, web 2.0
20.5 hours so far on this piece of Miller Park in Sacramento. Worked on brightening up the clouds with a beautiful bright white satin thread. Started filling in the tree line. Layering thread colors to find the correct depth. It's all an experiment and a process. #saturdaymood #working #embroideryart #landscape #art #threadpainting

My redone #introduction :
I am an associate professor of economics at Temple U in Philadelphia, USA. I am an economic theorist but have taught a wide variety of courses. I am writing a book on economic inequality. Utter newbie in applied econometrics. My papers have been on #generalEquilibrium models with #publicGoods, #consumer_Producers, #networks, and #ambiguity in #gameTheory. I love #opera and #artSong and dabble in singing and photography. Big fan of #openAccess, #LaTeX, #FOSS
Got to 30,446 words total today! AND the next two scenes I'm writing are ones I've been excited to write since I came up with the idea of this story years ago. So fingers crossed that means that tomorrow is another good writing day too. Trying to get as much in as I can before the new Pokemon comes out 😅
I went to the write-in at the library for #nanowrimo2022 and it was every bit as awkward but productive as I'd expected. We said a few words of hello upon entering, and then just heads down and typed for 2 hours. Got 4134 words down today!
Still writing around the end of Act 1, waiting for some inciting incident to happen to get us to Act 2, but I have no idea what that could be.
One of my publishers folded.
Twitter is dying (hilariously and tragically).
So much in free fall.
So much I can’t control.
But I, somehow, am turning that uncertainty into words.
It doesn’t always work that way, but I’m profoundly grateful that it’s happening right now.
Writing is protest. Creativity is courage.
#NaNoWriMo and all #writing folk, back up your words. Just in case @KaylaStorytella's angel Marilyn doesn't save you, and the words are lost.
Day 12 of #NaNoWriMo2022 and I'm starting to see the plot holes in my story. I've started a lot of threads and I need to figure out how to tie them together. If you have to do revision work, do you do it after #NaNoWriMo or during?
Who is taking part in #nanowrimo this year and how is it going/what are you working on? Mine has been an utter failure because my brain wants to work on scripts and not full novels 😂

FIFTY THOUSAND TWENTY THREE WORDS IN TWELVE DAYS
Actually, I'm not sure that's the fastest I've done NaNo, but eh. Whatever. It's one of the fastest. #NaNoWriMo
Zomg it's Vi Hart !
#nanowrimo woke up this morning from a dream I was at a nanowrimo write-in, just sitting down and going to look at my previous day's writing because I couldn't remember what my book was about... Everyone else was using stacks of index cards 2 feet high...
Today I managed 1998 words in 3 hours, broken up into morning and evening sessions. Still making good progress. Scared of an emotional scene coming up next.
17080 words total, still a little behind but feeling good about what I've written :)
A consciousness somehow associated with matter.
Posting about culture, philosophy, politics, AI Art Tools, NaNoWriMo, Software Development occasionally, the relationship of consciousness to matter.
Degrees in Philosophy and Computer Science, once had a US TS/SCI(redacted) clearance, radical-for-the-US politics, ex-Libertarian, zen-buddhist-pantheist-atheist.
Google employee, but I do not speak for Google in any way.
If your profile tells me nothing about you, it's less likely I'll follow you (back).
