Shout out to the gross wet sound my shoulder is making! Likely not good but I do hate silence!

I think we should have more dystopian romances with middle aged women destroying the system alongside useless bad boys. If you've ever seen a woman with a wrinkled list that she tore out of her handbag pushing a cart in aldi, you understand why.

"The thing is, if you were rich like Elon, you would--" Wrong. If I were rich like Elon musk, I would still invest in the things that matter to me. Expanding e-ink technology, modular devices, battery life, building public transit so I never have to drive, and cauliflower farm subsidies.

Journalism will always exist. No matter how you try to lobotomize, delegitimize, and smoother the flow of information, there will always be others waiting to pick up the torch and stand where the Washington Post once did. All Jeff Bezos did is show that he is scared what that torch will reveal.

Rachel made this incredibly important video about the book community and book banning. Please go watch and engage with it and DISCUSS book banning with your followers after you’ve spent time with it

I need Toyota to start purposefully poaching Musk's dreams for technology, but cheaper and better like the cars. In exchange, I will undergo a round of maintenance at an actual toyota dealership.

Every bookish girlie has gone either a Greek mythology, Jane Austen, or Stephen King era in their youth. I don't have the hard data, but I am speaking from experience.

I admire people who write 500 page books and don't feel like hitting their head against a wall while writing. Brought to you by the "short and sweet writer" who is at 220 pages and doesn't know how she will get through this. But I will prevail. It also is a 1k written word day so am out of it now

I can either write a weird Anglo-Saxon/Nordic early pagan folklore inspired witch romance where she lives in the woods and falls in love with her inhuman god or I can write a weird court romance where the court magician convinces the FMC to pretend to be the long lost queen so he can upend the realm

Please, please archive your work. Please. I’ve recently been saving lots of my essays as pdfs just so the Internet doesn’t suddenly delete them all (this happened to a whole load of blogs I wrote for The Independent years ago). I don’t want you to wake up and suddenly find your work gone like I did.

And with the Amazon news about download and transfer via USB no longer being allowed on kindles later this month, it's time for me to put my butt into motion and write enough to start my kobo migration

I genuinely think we should just ditch the whole AI thing and give tech billionaires cups of bones to scry for a glimpse at the future but like God knows they'd make that annoying too.

Nearing the end of the map on my clue sampler and then going to start on the border so I can conceptualize what I'm working with space wise. It's quick work from here on out. After this the leading option is sadly not the pokemon cross stitch quilt because I have an aesthetic.

Least believable thing about Greek mythology is how every character is important and has an intricate story. No regular guys at all. Zeus should have a brother named Steve who just works at the agora and that's his whole thing

When I was in preschool they sent a reporter out to interview my class to ask us who we wanted to be president as a feel good fluff piece interviewing all of the uneducated school children without telling us anything about the guys, and I think about that a lot
