Lost Cause.

I've been seeing a lot of people saying "all emotions are valid" lately, but I think that's the wrong word to use. Valid: 1: having legal efficacy or force 2a: well-grounded or justifiable : being at once relevant and meaningful b: logically correct 3: appropriate to the end in view.

I’m not saying we should flood this line with UFO reports but I’m not NOT saying that either.

The Presidents Budget Request for NASA is out. It’s a bloodbath Canceled are DAVINCI, VERITAS, Juno, OSIRIS-APEX, US participation in ExoMars and EnVision… Huge cut to R&A. No funding to begin development of the Uranus Orbiter. If you’ve ever cared about NASA, time to contact congress.

I dunno #booksky. I’m the kind of writer who wants to discus what they’re working on with anyone who’ll listen. But how do I bring up “female MC discovers former bf created her robot likeness, but with a dick”?

Good. More of this.

Hot Take: All POV narration styles are valid choices. 0th, 1st, 2nd, 3th, 4th person… Go with whatever works, just do it well. 👍

How come there is a word for brunette, but not for black-haired women and why no word for black-haired men and brown haired men, but there is one for blondes and blonds? Isn't blonde woman then repetitive? Irks me about English. BTW, Noirette should be the black-haired woman. #WritingCommunity

In 2023, the National Science Foundation opened the door to financing research into the nascent field of biomining, where modified microbes extract copper from mining waste. Researchers worry that with funding cuts, “this type of work is in danger of never getting off the ground.”

Because what I need is another project, I'm lying in bed thinking: what if I did a choose your own adventure book but it was Choose Your Own Murder? Like, you walk through a series of rooms and investigate random objects fully knowing most of them will result in your untimely, but hilarious, demise

So the first rule of Talk Club must be “you do not fight about Talk Club.” 🤔

Can someone point out to me an authoritarian regime that allowed itself to be voted out, ever in history? Because I am not aware of one. Which gives me extreme concern that the only plan Dems seem to have for regaining democracy is winning the 2026 and 2028 elections.

Homemade pizza! Slightly burnt on top because we mis-estimated the broiler. 😁 Baby bel cheese, shredded Colby, jalapeño, and bacon. Half anchovy.

Anchovy pizza! No sauce, no cheese, only crust, olive oil, garlic powder, and anchovies.

Oh to be an armadillo frolicking through the forest
