When pay phones were everywhere early hackers learned to imitate the tones to make calls. They were called phone phreakers and as we move into the ai version of this I urge everyone to come up with a cool name. This is the one part of future dystopia we control. Don’t fuck it up.

@Karnythia Not creepy...kind of weird and beautiful. I taught a group of kids that included a little girl who was deaf and received an implant. She loved telling me all the new sounds she discovered. My favorite was that she thought cicadas were the sound the sun made until she saw one.

@GShaneMorris As someone who has kids and loves being a mom and is thrilled I decided to - kids are not meaning. They will not insert meaning into your life. Or joy. Or hope. Or whatever. They are another human you are inviting into your home and folks who don't want them are going to be fine.

You only get one perfect peach per summer. You'll forget, and think that most of the peaches taste good and then you'll have one that suddenly forces every moment of sand-in-toes, sprinkler-running, tree-climbing, fire-fly evening summers into a moment of gentle sweetness.
