I write copious notes to myself in my private discord server, and put links to bits of video etc, and then they just sit there forever.
It feels like there's a spectrum with actual observed facts at one end, and 'canon-compliant' real-person fic at the other end.
For me personally, both ends of the spectrum are fine to share and to talk about.
(I know RPF in general is *not* fine for many people, and I try to use keywords etc in ways that let people filter that out if they're not comfortable with it.)
It's that middle ground between observed facts and canon-compliant RPF that feels as though it's *not* fine to talk about in public. It's delusional and/or invasive and/or inappropriate and/or whatever whatever
It would be easier if my own thoughts tended towards RPF AUs, instead of canon-compliant RPF. But instead my brain wants to latch on to all the interactions and undertones and body language and etc from 'canon', and turn them into a narrative that seems consistent and satisfying to me.
I like seeing my toots appear on the Federated timeline then disappear down it forever.
It's a bit like flushing the toilet.
I went to a private hacker con recently. Good people, top notch talks. Good times. But a fellow attendee pointed something out to me and now I can't unsee it.
There were some themes:
- genuine excitement about AI
- out of work or unhappily employed
- no concerns about climate change, civil unrest, economic hard[er] times, etc.
People seem to unconsciously think things will keep going on like they have been, forever.
It was surprising. Especially from people whose job it is to foresee problems
In the 1660s, this French philosopher came up with an invention that solved the problem of urban transport forever.
It had nothing to do with Robo-taxis, flying cars, or Tesla Tunnels.

@BeAware Doesn't even have to be a paywall for me these days; merely the act of asking me for my e-mail address means I do not want to give you my e-mail address, no matter how easy it would be to block your future e-mails forever.
It is not worth my time.
Those 4 seconds.
