hi!! you can call me by my url, I will respond to sewing gun. mid-ish 30s. trans.
came back to tumblr after a 10+ year break so I could do ds9 fandom. Blog is mainly focused on that pointy little satellite and all the funky authoritarian lizards (including ASIT et al), but I am also a die hard Ace Attorney fan, love TLT, and play too much Animal Crossing.
my inbox is always open, esp for sewing related q's !!! I have extensive stiching and designing experience, let me guide your fic hands!! i can help you write the tailor man!
✦ please check out my garak playlist I worked really hard on it! ✦
common tags under the cut, mainly for my own archival desires :0
I generally tag character names, actor names, trek series names, and ship names! ds9 i won't always get because well that's lowkey the whole blog.
[or, that time I spent almost nine months perfecting a self-indulgent playlist for the morally grey space lizard. if anyone checks it out i hope u like it aough <3]

the thing is. basically all of my jobs is writing. and specifically a kind of writing that AI is targeting: writing for like social media captions for clients, content scripts, video production, etc.
and i just. i know this has been said to death but: even if using AI were morally/ethically neutral as far as impact......... why would I willingly??? neglect the skill that is the reason why i feel confident charging for this stuff ????
i have one client who's basically in the linkedin entrpreneur sphere and i'm very aware that i'm human-writing posts for her when i bet every one of her peers is Not Doing That.
if i were to join her peers!!! in using chatgpt for planning a social calendar!! i would lose!! the ability!!! to plan a social calendar!!!!!

I love asking people how their parents met. You always get an interesting reply. My best friend’s parents met on the relatively new internet in 1999. My other friend’s parents met at Burger King when one was the manager and the other was a regular customer. My parents met at the beach because they were neighbors in their rental houses, mom was on a church trip and dad was getting blackout drunk every night with his friends next door.
