Writer / mama / ex-technologist. My chapbook flash collection is WOLFBABY 🐺✨https://bsky.app/profile/h0lc0mb.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/h0lc0mb.bsky.social/post/3mgfrm6nny22tWhenever people say AI reduces “friction” on basic tasks I want to remind them that friction is the force that allows you to walk.
