So much of the “promise” of AI right now is saving time creating. Let me say it from my chest: all I want is to spend *more* time creating. I’m not making content. I’m engaging in my vocation, my calling, my literal reason for existing.

I haven't been around a lot these days, but guess what. I have books! If you like stories featuring lost, trauma-riddled almost-adults searching for home and finding it in each other, searching for agency and trudging through messy pain to grasp it, I write that. Links on my profile! 📚💙 📚🪐 🌈📚

Your bi-monthly reminder that sex favorable and sex positive are not the same thing; sex negative and sex averse or repulsed are not the same thing. Positive/negative refers to your opinions on sex as a concept for everyone. Favorable/averse-slash-repulsed: your opinion on sex personally, for YOU.

I rarely DNF, I think I'm generally fairly good at choosing books that I at least appreciate on some level. My last couple of DNFs were because I couldn't connect with the characters so I was bored and annoyed, and/or the writing was repetitive, clumsy, confusing.
