Forget the full moon. The first *really* nice day brings out the most ignorant people.

May this work for you always. May Pavlov bless you with eternal productivity for as long as you desire. May you be recognized among the greatest of tbe Stays.

somehow conditioned my brain to enter hyperfocus mode and complete tasks whenever I hear "DO IT" by Stray Kids, please no one fix this I have so many tasks

Usually people use “plant based” as another term for “vegan” but I like the idea that it’s actually used to describe someone who will not eat mushrooms.

On my mind: I have been a fan of Bill Watterson's Calvin & Hobbes since year one.

And I hope we never get a Calvin & Hobbes movie.

“All authors are using AI now”

Not true! A lot of us use spite and the stress of late stage capitalism.

"All authors are using AI now"

Not true! A lot of us are saying "fuck it, I might as well throw five subgenres in a sack with a few exquisitely daydreamed dramatic moments and then meander spiral explode to a postpunk riverhead playlist"

No author worth reading uses AI.

If there is no one writing without ai, then I am dead

That's a hearty follow.

I keep seeing "all authors use AI, the real issue is they're being forced to be sneaky about it" headlines.

Full stop No. This is a lie peddled for normalization. It's schoolyard-level pressure tactics "C'mon, all the cool kids are already doing it. We won't tell. It's fine. We're on your side."

I should be able to schedule a little all-day banner on my phone for every April 1 that reminds me that it’s April Fools’ Day.

I loved that movie so much. When a college-era girlfriend asked what movie we should rent, I suggested it, and she thought I was breaking up with her.

Watching people bend over backward to explain that no no bro *this* use of LLMs is good ignore all those other uses and the horrible ethical lapses and illegal activities by the companies that developed them *this* use is good I promise no stop blocking Attie no

Closing out the weekend with 1200 words in an hour, putting the WIP at 7700+ words.

This is a description of Yogi Bear, mind you.

i also shake my salads with grizzly-bear like omnivorous ferocity, Rahm Emanuel ain’t special

Really looking forward to the (next?) episode of Writing Excuses where they said they're going to talk about writing through exhaustion. Craft is good, but practical advice is also much needed.

For the last two nights in a row, I've written 750 words in an hour. I've missed this pace. I don't expect to keep it up during the week, but I've got at least one more day in me.

The WIP is at 6500+ words.

I feel like the general gist of Zootopia movies is something like, "Class struggle is way more complex than we want to believe, but one thing is for sure, the police are the good guys."

Timothy Chalomet in a black suit and silver necklace.

People who made fun of Benedict Cumberbatch's name walked so that people who make fun of Toyota Chevrolet's name could run.

After a week of the day job being mentally exhausting, I was finally able to sit down and write productively. The WIP is now at 5,000+ words.

oh, nothing. I'm just thinking about how often a woman (or a girl, or a girl) can be so smart and so driven and so good at what she does and a man with authority over her uses that authority to use her so *often* that it's *thee* cliche of literary novels but people still disbelieve and dismiss

Release the Epstein files!!

...decided to map out the potential antichrists of each generation.

But go ahead and tell me i didn't put in the time to reckon with the scriptures.

When I was 18 or19, having spent my life in Christian nationalist dispensationalism, it dawned on me that the devil didn't know when the world would end, so he'd have to have perpetually overlapping antichrists ready and my neurodivergent ass...

Anyone who argues that AI can do your research for you was not the one who did all the work in the group project

does this article list whose identities they stole?

This is your anthropological reminder that "Spring ahead" is what we call an illocutionary utterance, a ritual which creates a fact through universal social acknowledgement.

But sure, change one number on your clock so you're not late to hear your pastor tell you that truth and facts are immutable.

I am staying off Bluesky but I understand that it's because it's the world and these evil people and no fucking protagonists

No protagonist is coming.
Nobody is going to show up and save us. Superheroes aren't real. Chosen ones aren't real. We are it, baby,
