Eid Mubarak! Kind of tempted to make this my profile pic. My current one is from like…2018. But then how would you recognize me (haha jk)

I’m thinking of restarting my blog, even though I’m not exactly publishing anything at the moment. I’m going through the #writing process again for the first time in five years (!) and I think I have some valuable things to share.

Eid Mubarak!

I’m super tempted to write a cozy mystery, think old lady + cat, but not sure that would go so well with my epic sci-fi dystopian other work. Not sure how much I care about “brand coherence” though.

I’m coming to the conclusion that some dramatic scenes may be best left to the imagination. Sorry, readers. (There’s one person in particular who will likely either hate or love me for leaving this out, if I do.)

Wild thought - bear with me here - maybe AI uses em dashes BECAUSE IT’S BEEN TRAINED ON HUMAN WRITING. Which these people seem not to have read. Carry on. Also, I love em dashes.

This is a major major major scandal and must be treated as such Call your senators Call your congresspeople

Please call your Reps. They should all be calling on Hegseth to resign. This is a huge national security breach. If he won't, impeach. Call your Republican reps!! Call your Democratic reps--there is only upside for them to call for this resignation.
