Goodbye @netflix.com. You used to be my go-to streaming platform, but you don't get the good movies anymore, and the quality of your original content has gone downhill. And now you raise prices AGAIN in this economy?

An update on the TikTok situation from our monitoring on Reddit. Now you get TOS'ed for saying negative comments about meta and Zuckerberg, left-wing politics get flagged as misinformation, and you can't tag #fucktrump #fuckelon or #fuckmeta but you CAN tag #fuckbiden and #fuckkamala

Nice people are struggling over the revelations on Gaiman, and something I keep hearing is, 'His work had a big influence on how I shaped my own identity.' So here's something to remember: You did that. He didn't do it for you. 1/

Just in time for the AI policies to go into my syllabi - I've cleared my brain of all of its frustrations regarding generative AI. I think it's important to resist the stuff. For all of us. And for no greater reason than preserving our humanity. I think the stakes are that high.

I knew this piece about Neil Gaiman was in the works, and still, I felt sick reading it. TW: rape, abuse, coercion, and child sex abuse.

Authors! Submitting your story to an open call? As someone reading through 400+ submissions for an anthology, some tips: Opening paragraph/sentence: I can tell within the first few sentences if a story is a 'no.' 'Maybes' turn to 'no's' by the end of the first paragraph. Brutal, but it's true.

Well, it's January. In less than 30 days time, I'll know if I'm a finalist for the Fulbright scholarship. Based on the notification dates of previous years, I'm expecting to hear something (hopefully) around the 23rd. Let the crippling anxiety, sleepless nights, and ulcers commence!

Wrote a thousand words while stuck in Starbucks for two hours last night and followed that up with vegging on the couch and watching old Doctor Who serials today. I guess a 500-word/day average isn't bad #NoConsistency
