Holy shit, just learned about the typewriter art of Montserrat Alberich Escardívol, a Catalan typist. Using an extra wide typewriter and 180 color ribbons, she built up elaborate images from simple characters like 'm' and '.' and ';'. Here is her typewritten painting of the Cathedral of Barcelona.

Don't watch Only Lovers Left Alive with me if you don't want to hear me loudly criticizing the way the script has the characters explain quantum entanglement.

220 pages into writing the new novel and realized that I don't have a single cis male that isn't just an unnamed background character. Oops.

I would not only resist the One Ring, I would be clever and virtuous enough to turn things around so that Sauron only thought he was using me while really I was using him in order to right the great wrongs of the world, redress injustices, confiscate power from the unworthy, and oh shit I'm a wraith

Hammam tells me that the clinic is threatening to discharge his mother if he doesn't pay any amount within just two days. I hope we can make a difference.
‼️ MEDICAL EMERGENCY ‼️
My friends, I still need €300 to secure my mother’s medication for this month.
Her condition is delicate, and she urgently needs the medicine any delay could put her at risk.
I only need 10 kind people to donate €20 each today to help keep her safe.🙏

We have process streams for art and 3D modeling and all sorts of crafts but I'm not sure I've heard of one for writing. Co-working yeah, but not, "Hey I'll screen share struggling through my first draft." Could we make that a thing?

Sheam wants revenge, gets him at her mercy, decides with her girlfriend, "revenge is great actually," kills him, and then never thinks about him ever again.
How does your MC feel about revenge? Is there anybody they want to take out? Do they think it would be satisfactory? #WritingPrompt
