I walked away after the combined AI statement + moderator abuse scandal, but it feels weird.

I found this out because she wanted to wear the celebratory mask and hat she got at another kid's birthday party. She is living her best life, and now I want a party hat.02 Apr 2025 07:21 +0000at://did:plc:koh6zysphhhdefa4mmhalpl7/app.bsky.feed.post/3llsu2ndwc22mhttps://bsky.app/profile/bartlebett.bsky.social/post/3llqewxczzs2fMy 4yo asked me what my favorite monster is. I said gorgon and told her a little bit about Medusa. A few minutes later she spins me a whole story about how some "argons" visited her in the night.

It is asking her if she wants to do something she definitely wants to do, then telling her that means we have to get clothes on and brush our teeth before we go.26 Jan 2025 08:31 +0000at://did:plc:koh6zysphhhdefa4mmhalpl7/app.bsky.feed.post/3lgmz6rinls2whttps://bsky.app/profile/bartlebett.bsky.social/post/3lgiggvvl222mI was so glad to read this.
