I’ve had the same editor since 1967. Many times he has said to me over the years or asked me, Why would you use a semicolon instead of a colon? And many times over the years I have said to him things like: I will never speak to you again. Forever. Goodbye. That is it. Thank you very much. And I leave. Then I read the piece and I think of his suggestions. I send him a telegram that says, OK, so you’re right. So what? Don’t ever mention this to me again. If you do, I will never speak to you again
Maya Angelou on the joys of being edited
with all the love in my heart:
AI doesn't understand anything. It has no consciousness, no morals, no way to know what is fact and what is fiction.
It is a sophisticated prediction engine, matching queries to a vast database of plagiarized information. Autocorrect without constraints.
If only I'd talked more about "going analog" last year instead of "actively staying off my damn phone," I could have been a real trendsetter.
"I don't know any men who would do that."
You do. I promise that you do.
how many yarn stores can I make J go to during a day trip to Seattle?
A: Don't blink!
J: I already blunk a few times.
guys, this is how you lose the time war
"You can pay with either a personal or cashier's check."
Is it suddenly 1997?
the prolific JD Vance disdain on my timeline tonight fills me with such joy
there was the commissioning and then canceling of that Pride collection by queer and trans artists, then there was the DEI rollback, now it’s AI-driven false arrests. Target is setting land-speed records for torching customer goodwill, given how high their popularity and how far they had to fall

I don't think we talk enough about how one of the reasons the tech oligarchs are pushing so hard for AI expansion is that they think it's their path to immortality. They can just upload their consciousness into a computer and live forever.
A selfie from the nose up. I'm laying on a purple pillow and a label from a label maker is on my forehead. It says "My moon 🌙"
Me: *reading in bed*
J: *enters room*
J: *sticks something to my forehead*
J: *leaves*
I washed, dried, and put away all of my clothes today. I think it's clear that I really am a witch.
my soft-hearted husband is sad because he tried and failed to save a bug that got in the shower
astronauts on the moon. affordable college for everybody. building a ton of housing for families. vaccines to end cancers. we can have all this cool stuff if you just vote for the people that want to do it.
we can do so much great stuff. put down your anger. great things are right there.
Ordered 12 small boxes of baking soda from Amazon. Added some bags of pretzels and gluten free cookies.
They shipped it in one bag-like mailer.
Anyone have recipes for pretzel dust?
J: Are we eating here or are we walking to the food trucks?
A, tremulously: Here?
J: Are you sure?
A: Yes! Because we're responsible grownups. I'm a responsible grownup!

It is refreshing to actually see my representatives on lists like this. God knows Andy fuckin' Biggs would never.
I wrote a blog post about this a while ago--about how the mundanity of the day-to-day prevails even while my anxiety skyrockets.
check yo self before you dox yo self
after a quick review of my timeline i feel the need to point to the sign
