I couldn’t sleep. My brain kept spinning: I brush my teeth at night. Then I don’t eat, I don’t drink, I just sleep. Nothing goes in my mouth. So why, when I wake up, do I brush my teeth again? I already did it! Nothing changed. It’s like someone decided mornings need a repeat, but my mouth is just as clean as before.
Sometimes I wonder, who decided this? Why do we all just do it, like it’s written in the sky or something? I like the feeling of brushing but not the taste of toothpaste, …

Some folks get really philosophical about it, but honestly, that’s not me. I mean, sure, I’m aware of the debates and all the noise, but personally? I just let it do its thing.
Maybe deep down I care… or maybe I just can’t be bothered to pretend I do. Either way, I’m not losing sleep over it.

@… It’s almost as if people were not lying when they told me I need a sleep cycle. :-p
Seriously, I am really glad it works for you. And TBH, I think I need to do the same. I have always cherished my alone time at night, but I’m discovering that alone time at 6am is just as good.
Yeah, you look just like DR Z to me. Go sleep, have a nice night, queer dreamer.

We can all sleep soundly tonight.
Hosted a BiCon pre-meet yesterday, online. Conveniently there were exactly 12 people there for most of it (not counting me), perfect for dividing into threes! I kept switching the groups so that people could meet different people.
We talked about how we'd each like BiCon to be, and how we could make it more likely to turn out that way.
Top tips: get enough sleep, eat enough food, and don't try to do everything!
Then we also talked about what contribution we might like to make - though I also said, just being there and being friendly and making BiCon more varied is a contribution in itself :-)
Several of the people who'd come along turned out to be already signed up to offer workshop sessions, so we heard a little bit about those.
Two tasks currently available if you want one are (a) keeping an eye on the Zoom setup for the hybrid events, (b) leafleting at Pride on Saturday, so that more people know about BiCon for Sunday. There's usually also opportunities to assist with being welcoming at reception.
In-person BiCon starts tomorrow, and runs Friday till Sunday. The venue is a couple of buildings belonging to the girls' high school, in between the Forest and the Arboretum. I tagged along for a site visit the other day and I think it's pretty good for air quality.
Apparently about 70 people have booked so far. It's also possible to buy a ticket on the day, so that might not be the final total.
As I reminded people last night, you don't have to be bi to come to BiCon! And if you _are_ bi, you don't have to be any particular amount of bi :-)

Just need to wait for the USB-C power brick to arrive now
Oh no it happened - client for a research project I’m working on got upset that we’re doing manual data analysis of survey responses, and complained about why we are so slow when their internal team working on a different report got “everything done in a couple of days with #AI tools”
And then they told us that waiting for proper human analysis is a “waste of time” and that we need to just chuck our dataset into AI and “get it over with”
I really don’t know what to do right now 🥲
Trying to do this properly on their expected timeline will mean very little sleep for multiple days, but giving up on the project quality and dumping it into AI is will make this entire project a waste of time. (As I wouldn’t be able to trust the output of the analysis, or be proud of it to showcase the final report as an example of our work, and not to mention that I don’t want to support this expectation to rush everything at work with these AI models)

I've had a fairly unproductive day. Aound 2 hours sleep (finally) in the wee hours this morning Not really enough to equip me to face the day. Did a little work of my own. Did some minor tech support for a friend. She stayed most of the day and we ended up binge watching all 10 episodes of Murderbot, eating snacks, and drinking a couple of bottles of wine. I'm hoping that will be enough to enable me to sleep well tonight. Fingers crossed. Good night all. 🥱

Dunno what your writing process is but mine usually is just a thing kinda building up inside me and then I spend a night to write it instead of getting enough sleep because I just can't let it go even for another night. It's a weird sensation.
Yeah, I watch DR Z, and I know you know, even from my own apartment.

404 Sleep not found
"Whose woods are these?" somebody says.
"His house is up the road a-ways;
He will be glad that we have stopped
To save his woodland from the blaze."
The fire crew assemble here
To act despite the danger near
Between the burn and shrinking lake
The driest season of the year.
Our leader gives his head a shake
And ponders the best course to take.
"The only thing to do," he says,
"Is try to cut a fire break."
The woods were lovely, dark and deep,
But then the fire made its leap,
And gave us promises to keep,
And fires to fight before we sleep.

But when I sleep, in dreams they look on thee,
And darkly bright, are bright in dark directed.

How would thy shadow's form form happy show
To the clear day with thy much clearer light,
When to unseeing eyes thy shade shines so!
