…and some other guy :)

The number of people I’ve heard nervously joke “haha I’m giving away my own job here” um, don’t then? Why?!! To make something five minutes easier and five times worse? I’ve never in my life since so much given away for so few benefits

I need writers to stop writing flop-sweat articles claiming “everyone” uses AI. Like baby you give away your artistic soul if you want, no one’s stopping you, but you don’t get to self-soothe on a lie. You’re not an artist anymore and other people still are, and that’s the price of your laziness

I was honestly really surprised about the “fuckin” like I’m sure he says that in public but he never posts like that?

I’m not a Christian but I kinda wish Jesus would come back and harrow hell again please

Happy Easter! We already live in hell

😂

Misogynazi?

What’s the German word for “the feeling you have when all the women are getting fired from the Trump administration and you’re happy because they’re the worst fucking people but also furious because why not Stephen Miller, Pete Hegseth, RFK Jr, why only the worst WOMEN”

Oversharers list lol, that’s perfect

🙁

Yup, that’s my experience too

Like I don’t even think I would know that people on the left are yelling at other people on the left because I only ever see like three people’s posts on here

From what I can tell Bluesky is dying not because of leftists or whenever but because the algorithm really fucking sucks

That’s awesome!

Probably not until next year! But I’ll say that the recordings are I think pretty generative and fun, too - I do try to do these with the fact that lots of folks watch them later in mind!

zoom seminar once upon a time: using fairy tale forms to write better in any genre Amber Sparks Saturday, April 4"h, , 2026 10:00AM - 1:00PM CST

This fairy tale forms workshop sold out last week but we’ve added a few more seats, so if you were trying to get in, get in now! It’s going to be so fun and generative writingworkshops.com/collections/...

I am such a terribly, dreadfully, embarrassingly chronically late person that I have actually managed to turn my always early to everything husband into a mildly late arriver 😢

couple months ago, via determination and grit, i managed to be six minutes late for a lil date with a friend. i was so proud man. but he arrived ten minutes later. completely negated my hard work. i could’ve killed him

Right? People have NO idea

It’s true - so many people asked when my first book got published if I was going to quit my day job lol

Why is writing so uniquely attractive to people who don’t like writing? I genuinely am so baffled! You don’t make money, you don’t get famous, there’s zero glory, the only thing you get is the chance to WRITE because you love to tell stories!

oh you don’t like telling stories? Get the fuck out of the storytelling lane

Reviewing a book, really wrestling with it intellectually, is such a pleasure and it’s so painful to see someone give away this pleasure for…what, cutting the world’s smallest corner?

Agreed and please for the love of god do not reward this cash grab by one of the worst people in the world

I was at a #NoKings rally yesterday and rather than writing another essay about why this matters I will just say that it is pure joy to meet the people who want to stand out and the people who are doing the work. Thank you.

I think it’s from the school of “I have a girlfriend who lives in Canada” lies

This is literally every one of my relatives now

This was such a heartening read!

Yes omg I miss it!
