Mystery solved. Now back to not writing. 🙃 #writing #writingcommunity #amwriting

The correct answer is: Who Wants to Live Forever?

Oh God per my social anxiety, I should never log back in here again and just vanish, but here I am! Still writing about magic bears. Did I mention I had surgery this month? I had surgery this month! Anyway hey cool fuck generative AI and go play Dragon Age Veilguard.

So, this Unbound/Boundless fiasco. I was going to be polite about it, but after this morning’s email: no

Why would you ever use ChatGPT for anything is my question. Did God not gift you with a functional brain that got you somehow this far in life? Can you not figure out a way to use that for learning things? Or did you fill it to the brim with microplastics and Juul pods?

Crosspost from other place- Remember my drama with my fiance's former friends? Yeah the abusive ones who tried to break us up? Well they're starting another group-chat to try to get "us" (read: Him) to talk to them. And I know they'll come to the house next. WTAF do I do?!

#booksky 💙📚 what's the book you always go back to when you need a pick me up?

The "Ah-Ha!" moments don't usually come when I'm writing. They come when I'm staring into space, mind wandering the universe. The guy at the computer is a great editor, but the guy staring into space dreaming? You're lost without him. The more you surrender to the unconscious, the better it gets.

It’s been a helluva winter. Half of us look like Kurt Russell at the end of The Thing and half of us look like The Thing

This has not been a great 2+ weeks of reading for me ngl.

📚💙just finished a book that I had such high hopes for and it made me so angry. The couple you hope for doesn't make it. Your favs don't make it. I *throws papers* will be banishing that to my Kindle "No Rereads" shelf.

I’m so grateful to have parents who made sure I got vaccinated.

I people'd today. 0/5⭐️. Do not recommend.

Gabe and Mjolnir need a new home, can you help? Rowan, their human who has sadly passed, wished for them to remain together. Will help get them relocated to anywhere within the United States; please read on for more details! 🧵 Signal boosts & sharing are appreciated 💙

why do people lie to their IT pro? don't fuckin tell me you rebooted your computer when i can see you're fuckin lying and it's been up for 44 days, you dipshit.

FYI - @aimod.social believes that ANY filter in ANY photo editing program, even filters that were created a DECADE before public access to AI, count as "AI Modification" and any digitally altered image of yours could receive the "AI Modification Label" and even on appeal they will not remove it.

You put your right foot in you put your right foot out you rearrange the blankets again and then you roll about. You're trying to fall back asleep after hitting your 30's, and now the sun is out!

Not sure how much inner peace I have but I got a lot of outer rage if you’re into that

When I finally get done with grad school, I'd like to go back to studying creative writing more. Someday, I will get my bleeping English degrees.

Stop offering writers insulting fees for their work. Stop asking them to do it for "exposure". Pay writers for their writing. If you don't pay writers for their writing you further encourage an environment where only people from the most privilege backgrounds get to write.

Shop update! I played around with some math to find the perfect equation to get smut into your hands at a reasonable price + free US shipping + still let me make a few bucks. The price of some books has gone down with this new math, so go take a look! thealandenbooks.etsy.com

"I want to keep boycotting Amazon, but I also want to support indie authors. How do I do that?" Many indie authors have their books on Barnes & Noble & Kobo! There are also places like Smashwords & Campfire that are almost all indie books! Itchio now has a THRIVING LGBTQ Indie Book Scene.
