VERY COOL PERSON: It's four-twenty, you know what that means?

ME: Hell yeah! [starts shoving blackbirds into a pie]

Plot has always been difficult for me, and I’ve preferred writing about interiority, emotions, psychology, etc. I’m glad this class is forcing me to pull ideas from my brain like laffy taffy and write clear, concrete plot points instead of vibes. Fingers crossed I finish this novel!

ay it troubles me so much how my fellow white ppl have co-opted "unc" because they have taken what I have perceived to be a friendly term of respect to twist to a snotty term of disrespect. also no one referring to themselves as "unc" is actually fucking old. get over yourselves. growing up is cool.

Me and my cat. I am the jester.

I've seen comments on other websites saying this is a good use of AI because typesetting is just grunt work.

No it isn't! There is a lot of skill and craft to good typesetting and this is aiming to take jobs from people to automate what should be a human process!

This sucks!

If you were in a writing class and named a senator who blocked a meaningful bill Mike Crapo, you’d be told it’s too on-the-nose or possibly a Dickensian nod that was heavy-handed. But here we are. Here we are.

Hey, so ICE is still kidnapping and disappearing people in the United States.

Just because they got quieter about it doesn't make it okay.

Abolish ICE. Chinga la Migra.

Steamed Hams full transcript Well, Seymour, I made it- despite your directions. Ah. Superintendent Chalmers. Welcome. - I hope you're prepared for an unforgettable luncheon. - Yeah. Oh, egads! My roast is ruined. But what if I were to purchase fast food and disguise it as my own cooking? Delightfully devilish, Seymour. Ah- Skinner with his crazy explanations The superintendent's gonna need his medication When he hears Skinner's lame exaggerations There'll be trouble in town tonight Seymour! Superintendent, I was just- uh, just stretching my calves on the windowsill. Isometric exercise. Care to join me? Why is there smoke coming out of your oven, Seymour? Uh- Oh. That isn't smoke. It's steam. Steam from the steamed clams we're having. Mmm. Steamed clams. Whew. Superintendent, I hope you're ready for mouthwatering hamburgers. I thought we were having steamed clams. D'oh, no. I said steamed hams. That's what I call hamburgers. You call hamburgers steamed hams? Yes. It's a regional dialect. - Uh-huh. Uh, what region? - Uh, upstate New York. Really. Well, I'm from Utica, and I've never heard anyone use the phrase "steamed hams. " Oh, not in Utica. No. It's an Albany expression. I see. You know, these hamburgers are quite similar to the ones they have at Krusty Burger. Oh, no. Patented Skinner burgers. Old family recipe. - For steamed hams. - Yes. Yes. And you call them steamed hams despite the fact that they are obviously grilled. Ye- You know, the- One thing I should- - Excuse me for one second. - Of course. Well, that was wonderful. A good time was had by all. I'm pooped. Yes. I should be- Good Lord! What is happening in there? - Aurora borealis. - Uh- Aurora borealis at this time of year at this time of day in this part of the country localized entirely within your kitchen? - Yes. - May I see it? No. Seymour. ! The house is on fire. ! No, Mother. It's just the northern lights. Well, Seymour, you are an odd fellow but I must say you steam a good ham.

Today is officially the 30th anniversary of Steamed Hams. On April 14, 1996, "22 Short Films About Springfield" aired for the first time!

I made my stories because I wasn't satisfied with other people's stories. Mine aren't necessarily better stories, just stories made for ME.

That dissatisfaction is inspiration.

You're supposed to go make your own stuff with it, not harass other people for making their stuff.

Wow!! Very cool!!

Nooo! Damn, sorry that happened!

Watching My Friend Pretend Her Heart Is Not Breaking Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer On Earth, just a teaspoon of neutron star would weigh six billion tons. Six billion tons equals the collective weight of every animal on earth. Including the insects. Times three. Six billion tons sounds impossible until I consider how it is to swallow grief— just a teaspoon and one might as well have consumed a neutron star. How dense it is, how it carries inside it the memory of collapse. How difficult it is to move then. How impossible to believe that anything could lift that weight. There are many reasons to treat each other with great tenderness. One is the sheer miracle that we are here together on a planet surrounded by dying stars. One is that we cannot see what anyone else has swallowed.

when i was a teen navigating the internet, i engaged with a lot of fanworks that were extremely graphic in nature, and not once did i interpret fictional content as endorsement of those acts irl. i don’t understand why that’s so difficult to grasp

more relevant than ever today

If an AI future is what I'm getting left behind from, then Christ, just leave me behind. A girl can only pivot so much, hoss, and I hung up my pivotin' boots some time ago. I don't make videos even though that was supposedly the future of writing ten years ago — I mean, I guess I do, but they're little banjo practice videos for my friends, not expressions of a desperate careerist impulse. I use social media with the attention-crazed dopesickness of an addict, not the care and forethought of a professional, as any cursory read of my posts will confirm. I'm a writer by trade — a creative, as you might say — and here you are, running a business you don't even understand into the ground, deskilling my trade and expecting a thank you when you explain how you're doing it. If I don't devalue myself the way you continually devalue me, you warn, I'll be left behind. Okay, says I! Quit making it my problem and go! The dust you leave me in will settle, and in the meantime, I will keep doing my work in much the way I've done it since I first became literate.

‘if you don’t learn to use AI, you’ll get left behind!’ 🍆✊

NASA failed to predict the real splashdown risk.

saw a post that said "we're the only planet in our solar system with only one moon and she is our best friend and we're locked in orbit together so she's always facing us and now we're going back over there to say hi"

..I think the moon would probably be wondering how we've been all these years too
