I was discharged yesterday afternoon. More follow-up appoinments are needed, but at least I’m on regular food again.
I had a boy 11lbs 5oz.
There’s a party going on in Room 315!!!
📰 Just found out Monday’s the day when they’re gonna stick a scope in both ends and try to figure out WTF is going on. Monday’s also the day I find out if my ass and face look the same… Hopefully the doctor doesn’t get mixed up!
Blood transfusions can be fun!!! Seriously, though, bring a book or something. It’s 4 hours of being strapped to a bed via an IV line, and you can’t even sleep because they keep coming in to check your vitals every 5 minutes or so.
💻🧑🏼🦯 Just signed up for the #Glide installment plan. This is the closest I’ve ever come to going iPhone fan crazy over any product.
💻 Installed new Betas on Mac and iPhone today. The neural Siri voices just keep getting more natural and responsive when used for #VoiceOver. They also fixed the system voice in Mac, so my Zoom calls were narrated in part by the Bells novelty voice that I use to have my Mac say the time.
📰 Good morning, Fediverse. Are you gorgeous?
📰 Did you know Starship changeling has a Discord server? It’s fairly low traffic but interesting things do happen there from time to time. Visit starshipchangeling.net/discord to join.
📰 Finally cancelled my masts.host subscription and deleted my web hosting instance before it renews. I am officially living in micro.blog!
😎 The sucky part about being a remote worker–you don’t get the day off when the office internet goes out.
📺 #NowWatching Stephen King’s The Stand (1994 mini series). It is available on Apple TV for $5.
📰 Just got an emergency alert that we are under a flash flood warning until 21:30 Eastern.
Monsters Described Promo with Description
Here’s the Monsters described video from yesterday with an #AI generated description.
The video shows a black cat sitting in the middle of a group of other cats. The background is dark, but there are streaks of light coming from the top, suggesting a spotlight. The cats all have a very distinct, almost demonic, appearance. Their eyes are piercing and intense, and they have pointed ears and long, sharp teeth. The cat in the middle, however, looks calm and collected, as if it is the leader of the pack. The whole image is designed to give off a sense of mystery and danger.
🍿 It’s a wonderfully dreary/spooky day and the mood feels right. #NowWatching It, 2017 and It Chapter Two
📰 Hit the pool at 07:30 and did my swim workout as it rained steadily. Just in case the news in other places is making the tropical storm sound worse than it is in my location.
Did you know Starship Changeling has a new feature called Monsters Described? I, a totally blind horror fan, get Perplexity.ai to generate descriptions of horror movie monsters and post them for other blind horror fans.

Monsters Described No. 2: Slither
Explanation
This is the second in a series of posts that describe the monsters from horror movies for those who are #blind or visually impaired. Rather than describe the movie, the purpose here is to provide a description of the monster only, since #AudioDescription doesn’t allow for as much details as blind horror fans like myself would like.
Disclaimer
Since I am totally blind, all of these descriptions are generated using Perplexity.ai unless other wise stated. I’m simply posting the results here in case Perplexity pages become unavailable for some reason.
An now oOur Feature Presentation
This film has two monsters–the alien parasite and the slugs.
Description
In the 2006 horror-comedy film “Slither,” the alien parasites and slugs are grotesque and unsettling creatures designed to evoke a sense of disgust and fear. Here’s a detailed description for someone who is totally blind:
Physical Appearance
Main Parasite
The primary alien parasite is a large, amorphous creature with a slimy, gelatinous body. It’s roughly the size of a small car and has a pinkish-red coloration. The texture of its skin is moist and slick, similar to that of a giant slug or a mass of intestines. The parasite has multiple tentacle-like appendages that can extend and retract, allowing it to move and grab objects or victims.
Slugs
The smaller parasites, often referred to as slugs, are about the size of a person’s hand. They have a cylindrical, worm-like body with no visible eyes or limbs. Their skin is slimy and moist, much like an earthworm but with a more alien texture. These slugs are capable of quick, darting movements and can leap surprisingly far.
Sensory Characteristics
If one could touch these creatures (which would be inadvisable in the context of the film), they would feel:
The parasites would likely emit a faint, squelching sound as they move, similar to the noise made when stepping in mud or other viscous substances.
Behavior and Abilities
The parasites in “Slither” have several notable characteristics:
These descriptions aim to convey the unsettling and alien nature of the creatures from “Slither,” emphasizing their otherworldly and repulsive qualities that make them effective horror movie monsters.
This is a test.
