New followers! If you like videos, I make a lot of them about my books and other creative ventures!
I like short and long-form content for different reasons, so I make both! A follow/subscribe would mean a lot to me as a completely independent, self-published author 💕

what do you call that feeling where your friend says something that clearly demonstrates they’ve experienced growth and you feel warm inside, is there a name for that

I have creative projects that I've been struggling to finish for *years* that I would rather fling into a fire than let a computer complete them for me.

While Amazon is investing billions of dollars to expand AI, independent bookstores are hosting community events, personally recommending books to readers, and providing a space that is safe and welcoming during a time when we need them most.
Never underestimate the power of a local bookstore.

Remember your favorite creator possibly might be struggling with imposter syndrome and doubt and this timeline sucks.. so if you find yourself thinking “wow I really relate to this persons work” or that persons work gives you joy, you should probably tell them. It’s a hard time to be a creative.

“AI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to it” wrong. I don’t have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to

it is IMPOSSIBLE to shop for formal dresses anymore. I just want a cute fit and flare moment. Every single “formal” dress I find is super fitted. “Look at me! I have tits and a big butt!” Yawn.

Every now and then, I’ll have these really cryptic work-related dreams. Luckily I like my job, but I don’t know if I like how often it creeps up in my dreams 😅

I had never considered this a possibility and now I am viscerally horrified.
NEW: AI “recipe slop” is overrunning search and social. Food creators say Google’s AI Overviews and glossy fake food pics are drowning out real, tested recipes — collapsing traffic and setting home cooks up for disaster, especially this Thanksgiving.

I've not been doing a very good job of hyping my own work, but I promise it's good and worth it. Read it. Love the lesbians and gay men and gendermonster queers who are all trying to figure out how to be immortal, love blood, and maybe each other:

I got so stoned at a Mets game once I compared the Jumbotron to the top screen of a Nintendo DS bc it had “a bunch of useful contextual information” and the field to the bottom screen bc “it’s where the game is actually played”

"m/f is only good when it's t4t" "I like this ship but only when it's bi4bi" "she has to be pegging him" gently holds your hand. you do not need to qualify the things you like to justify liking them

Btw guys I missed when it happened but one of the highlights of my existence in this site is when the Whimsicott Mention account finds my posts 😌
I debuted my Pokemon beverage charms in August this year and I have to say… I did not realize this many people loved Whimsicott
y’all are right. I’m just surprised at how many of y’all there have been.

if i've learned anything from in person events like fanfest, magiccon, and even fan run events, it's that most negativity you see in nerd communities online is more often than not just an obnoxious and loud minority
