I thought my kids were punking me but no, there is indeed a D&D TV channel with D&D cooking shows.
This IS healthcare being ripped away from Americans—our children’s lives are not a diversion you pathetic fuck.
Overheard in my backyard—

F: Don’t bring a knife to a gun fight.

M: This is a SWORD.

Two minutes after waking up—

F: “Hey Papa, did you tell Mama about the snake cult?”

WHAT IS HAPPENING IN MY HOUSE?!
Dog-Man was fine—I enjoyed seeing it because M is a huge Dog-Man fan and it was fun to watch her watch it. It’s not something I would watch on my own.

I loved Phantom Thread. It’s probably my favorite of the PT Anderson films I’ve seen so far.
I don’t! I actually don’t even know what that is, but I’ll check it out. I keep lists of all the movies I’ve watched categorized by year.

Since this I’ve rewatched all the LOTR movies and seen Dog-Man, We Live in Time, Kinds of Kindness, and Phantom Thread.

It's good that there's a 25% tarriff on imported coffee now. This will incentivize people to purchase American coffee, grown in the New Jersey coffee forests

Ok #booksky, let’s talk.

👎🏼Goodreads, owned by Amazon, fuels its monopoly on books.

Why is Mark Cuban constantly on my bsky homepage and how do I make it stop.

If your book cover is AI, why the fuck should anyone support your creative work?

Artists know that you’re not making 6 figures & are generally willing to work with you—payment plans, simplifying your ideas, etc.

Kneecapping another creative professional to sell your own creative work is vile.
I swore I wouldn’t do this until I was totally finished with all writing and initial proofreading/edits for our book buuuuuut I’m out of ADHD meds and it was almost half price and I got very ‘fuck it I’ve waited a decade’ and HERE WE ARE.

I try to see 52 new-to-me movies every year. I don’t think I’ve EVER made it—I like to rewatch things too much—but #1 this year is The Secret of Roan Inish & HOW DID I MISS THIS AS A CHILD? I was 7 when this came out & I would have worn out the VHS.

Thank you! Buying it now.
Thirteen years ago, my partner published this poem about going down on me, which still feels like more my achievement than his. #poem #poetry #eroticpoetry #sexypoetry #lovepoetry #romanticpoetry #marriage #settingthestandard #cunnilingus #oral
Gods, yes.
Literally my life philosophy. This and the Desiderata.
You absolutely should be proud of yourself, awesome work! <3
If anyone knows who wrote this poem please tell me because I need more immediately. #mysterypoet #poem #internethelpme
Right? This is such a weird question and kind of implies that every artist is just self-inserting into their work.

And then remember when both industries basically collapsed within a year of each other? And suddenly clients who were paying me more than 10 cents a word wanted me to clean up ChatGPT slop for one-cent a word or less?

Yeah, that was fun.

So anyway why do you hate generative AI?
Mood:

Remember how in 2021 my partner was teaching ESL online and I was a full time freelance writer, and we were both making decent-for-us incomes? And we were in our late 30’s and sort-of close to financially stable for the first time in our lives?
Yes, gods, please. Pre-AI I was making a decent-ish living freelance writing, now everyone wants you to fix up their ChatGPT garbage for one-cent a word. Spoiler: it’s not fixable, just set it on fire.
