still fantastic, Bianca!

i am living through some parallels with the themes you've distilled so well. "working with my natural thinking patterns."

i am neurotypical, but have had to learn to trust my instincts again.

previously, an impulse or a tugging risked dismissal if it didn't root from somebody else's good reasons.

now it's "finding out where this leads could be the most responsible thing to do."

i applied this while designing and making some wooden lamps late last year. now i'm insisting on the same with tiny tools i'm making, ai-powered tools intended to surface and amplify the human-in-the-loop instead of letting the blackbox of machine intelligence swallow their perspective.

anyway, these writes of yours remain incisive and helpful. thank you!

I identify so much with the battle between self-trust/intuition and being responsible! How did those two things become enemies?! Something suspicious going on there.

Can I see the lamps? My husband and I talk about working with wood all the time. We love the idea and have executed nothing.

If you need a tester for your AI-powered tools, I'm super interested. Claude has helped me "surface and amplify" aspects of myself/my creativity immensely. Would love to see how you do it!

I, too, am looking for good ways to translate myself - to some degree.

I have mixed feelings on translation these days! What have you found so far?

Yes, ha. I like to call it “Anna’s mixed tape”. You never know what tune’s next in line!
