"You're not smart enough, witty enough, artistic enough, prolific enough, productive enough." Imposter syndrome comes in all forms and it fucking sucks, man. It doesn't give a shit if you've been good. Social media can exacerbate it, too. So, log off for a bit if needed. No one will forget you.

Never judge a book by its cover, unless it's an AI generated cover, in which case I'm immovably Judgy McJudgerson of Judgeville

This is such horrific recent history for Ireland. "We locked up victims of rape, we locked up victims of incest, we locked up victims of violence, we put them in laundries, we took their children, and we just handed them over to the Church to do what they wanted," she said.

“Historically, no one lived past age 35” "I’ve heard *so* many versions of this claim, including recently from a menopause doctor (implying menopause is not “natural” because noone lived long enough to go through it). Every time someone states this “fact,” a demographer loses a piece of their soul"

The starter for the banquet of life Was listed as #primordial soup It had been on the stove since the beginning of time And had thickened to an unpalatable gloop The ingredients were primeval But apparently it tasted divine. I picked up a bowl and a sharpened spoon Then got in line. #VSS365 #poem

#booksky #writingcommunity You know what's totally demoralizing. I'm struggling to raise a modest couple of grand for my human-narrated audiobook production & am 21% funded, yet there's an AI generated book project in the same promo as me. It's 286% funded.🫠 🤬 🫤 www.kickstarter.com/projects/dec...?

WW3, the power is out, supplies are low. You're sitting around a campfire with survivors and someone suggests a story to boost morale. This mofo gives you 2 mins of story highlights he remembered from ChatGPT cos that's his memory capacity. Then he sits proudly waiting for applause. #fuckAI

Our brains love the colour gradation in rainbows, maybe due to our ancestors searching for sources of water. Looking at plants helps us recover from stress & looking at something we think is beautiful causes dopamine release. I've posted this photo to alter your brain biochemistry for the better 🌿
