On m-dashes and ai in my writing
Read moreI’m clarifying that the M-dashes in my recent posts come from AI transcription of my dictation, not AI-generated writing — the only AI-written text on the blog is the post excerpts and the image prompts my automated system generates.
Ai-powered lingerie browsing site
Read moreI used Perplexity and Claude Code to build a locally served website that curates and presents lingerie options from sites like Intimissimi — solving my frustration with e-commerce UX while shopping for a new stretching partner.
Notes to self on a porn library
Read moreI’ve built a personal AI-curated porn library that’s teaching me something bigger: the internet is dying because websites now obstruct access to content rather than enable it. The future belongs to structured, disintermediated data delivery — and my porn library is a working prototype of that idea.
Warning: less editing ahead on this blog
Read moreI’m announcing a shift in how I write for this blog — moving toward less polished, lightly edited posts as my output has grown and my readership has shrunk. The blog has always been for me more than for an audience, and I’m leaning further into that.
My mania knows no bounds: ai blogging workflow

Dear democrats: stop the text message harassment
Read moreI’ve been a lifelong Democratic voter and donor, but I’ve stopped giving because of relentless unsolicited text messages I can’t opt out of. If the party can’t solve this simple problem, why should anyone trust them with bigger ones?
Shame: reflections on self-acceptance over time
Read moreI’m reflecting on how shame has shaped my life and my blog since 2010 — from the radical openness I once had in writing about my most uncomfortable impulses, to the self-judgment and contempt that have crept back in now that I’m less anonymous and less self-accepting.
The ridiculousness of ai
Read moreReviewing French Fries, or, the ridiculous power of AI. Or, I’m totally obsessional.
Making a chatbot: legacy, loss, and llms
Read moreI’ve been building a chatbot to give access to my writing — not to imitate my voice, but to preserve it. This project grew from grief over my mother’s lost writings and a resolve not to leave my child without my output.
Every behavior has a reason: examining pornographic habits
Read moreEvery behavior, sexual or otherwise, contains valuable information. Lately my pornographic habits are raising disturbing new questions I’ve been avoiding — ones I plan to explore in a future post.
Trump era politics dampening libido and desire
Read moreTrump has dampened my libido. What I initially attributed to aging, I now recognize as a response to the horror of the current political moment: it’s hard to summon desire in the middle of a national catastrophe.
Welcome to my personal blog chatbot
Read moreI built a custom chatbot. Ask it anything about my life, relationships, or insights. Just know: your conversation isn’t private, the corporate and environmental ethics are messy, and usage is throttled.
#taco
Read moreI’m definitely not saying that I wish Trump had let loose some sort of armageddon on Iran tonight. But. The man is a master of reality TV. And. A total. Fucking. Chickenshit. Sociopath. Pussy. Related posts: Donald trump and libel…
Fun with ai, or, i’m still an addict

I fucking love ai
Read moreNow you can browse all the pictures for any tag in one place — even as a slideshow. I’m unreasonably excited about this.
Overwhelmed by ai, drafts, and the end of the blog era
Read moreI’m producing more work than ever thanks to AI, but I’m overwhelmed by unfinished drafts, a sense of online obsolescence, and my own mortality.
Politics
Read moreFascism is here. The Democrats are responsible. They haven’t presented an alternative.
Encoding a fantasy through ai-dream symbolism
Read moreI’m using AI to turn an unshareable fantasy into a symbolic dream, drawing on Freud’s theories to preserve privacy and allow expression.
