None of my work - none of these blog posts, my resume, increasingly unhinged cover letters, even my linkedin profile - uses ai. I'm working to put together some sort of official statement on that. Like I have a diversity statement on my homepage that I have gotten multiple positive comments from. I want to … Continue reading AI Statement

One of these things is not like the other…

Or time flies when there's a million and one things to do at all times and you can't ever seem to catch a break? Anyway, spring photography is off and … Continue reading Good golly, it’s April?
