The first panel shows a crow with the title "How to live a good life". The second panel shows a crow cawing at itself in the mirror with the subheading "Make friends". The next panel says "Explore" and shows a crow looking into a commercial waste bin. The next says "Try new things" with a crow eating something vile. The next one says "Be curious" and shows the crow grabbing a hissing cat's tail". The final frame says "Get a hobby" and shows the crow looking closely at a book of matches.

It's time to talk about something very personal. Receiving an invoice from a freelancer is very triggering. There, I said it. The thought of money leaving my account gives me distress. That's why it can take me 6, 10, sometimes even 15 months to transfer it. There is nothing more anxiety inducing than having to pay someone for a job they've done for you. I once received an invoice from my gardener and immediately threw my phone into the ocean. It's debilitating. I wish I could pay people on time, but my emotions won't let me. So please, if you are upset, just remember the person on the other end refusing to pay you is also a human. And they're going through a lot.

please, think about the damage you might cause before sending an invoice

whenever people announce they're taking a break from bluesky, it's usually because they're astronauts experiencing a mandatory communications blackout as they re-enter earth's atmosphere. that's why they always come back in six minutes

I hate Amazon as much as the next writer, but I can't see why this upsets anyone. 14 years supporting a legacy platform is pretty good actually. Amazon offers a free app on literally every platform you can read this post on. Any books in your library will still be there.

I just don't get the ire.

Things that help calm the nervous system, quickly:

- Box breathing (in for 4, hold for 4, out for 4, hold for 4, repeat)

There's rise in bestselling books where people just eat and talk for pages and pages and nothing really happens. I get bummed cause those are def not books I write or interest me, but they're obscenely popular. The understanding that this does not make them "bad" is leap few readers/writers make 😆

say what you want about South Korea, at least THEY got their president impeached and thrown in prison for trying to do some bullshit

i think we should be clear that just because the astronauts did not immediately declare the moon haunted, does not mean it is not haunted

it may mean that the astronauts are now themselves haunted

have we prepared for this eventuality and if so how

potentially this is why other artists tend to ‘get it.’ you dont put in that kind of time on something unless it has completely enveloped your heart. i think other artists tend to recognize that because they have felt it too

Many is the time where one has been enthralled with the story of Jesus being shot down on Golgotha on Friday, running for his life and hiding in the caves nearby over the weekend, only to be rescued by Nazarene Special Forces on Sunday.

i want to remind folks that while a third of Americans still support Trump, our history shows that 1/3 of citizens opposed leaving the monarchy in 1780s, 1/3 were good with slavery in 1860s, 1/3 opposed womens right to vote in 1900s, 1/3 opposed civil rights in 1960s.

i did not think i would like the new running man movie but i am trying to be less judgemental so i watched the new running man movie and guess what??? i hated it

Generative AI runs on IP theft, but also consider that actual human volition is obfuscated by design. This allows criminals to blame the LLM.
