Not me personally. I’m incapable of lengthy correspondence.
sometimes I wonder if we would all be happier carrying on lengthy correspondences with likeminded individuals instead of spending our time on social media

Writers who use genAI for illustrations are class traitors. We all have to fight this beast TOGETHER. We are not just trying to save SOME of our livelihoods.
Self-published authors are unfortunately very rapidly becoming my most-blocked demographic on here due entirely to the rampant use of hideous AI generated book covers
Just in case it wasn't clear: If I click on your profile and see that you've used AI to make something, you get blocked.

epic will pay for every game that gets claimed this way so yes, you are still giving money to rowling (and by extension an international campaign against trans people) by claiming this
there are other, better franchises - let this one go

So they are saying men whine more?
men’s loneliness gets “more airtime”?
baby I have lived the past three decades of my life witnessing corporate media elevate men’s loneliness into a full-blown balls-to-the-wall CRISIS once every 4-5 years
“more airtime” is hilarious

Sex scene are craft. They are characterization. They are worldbuilding. They are storytelling.
The fact that we're culturally too uncomfortable with sex to recognize that is not the fault of well written sex scenes!

Fuck that. They had every reason to know better but chose not to. So fuck em.
Allred: I have some empathy for folks who, in the last election, thought, “Maybe this guy really will make my costs go down.” The problem is they were lied to. Working folks across Texas know they’re working harder for less while these openly corrupt jackasses are out there doing all kinds of stuff

The way tech companies constantly do stuff that nobody asked for really tells you a lot about their bigger ideology. They tell themselves that you will like it over time. What they mean is you’ll learn to endure it, or you’ll give up. quality of UI is not actually anywhere on their radar
new iOS update is sleek and also defaults in Music to “you must want songs transition as they would on a dance floor.” so many people will wonder why they can’t just listen to an album. Apps > Music > Song Transitions > toggle off.
