I put a hold on my local library for Heated Rivalry expecting the 18 people in front of me with no available copies to take a while so I took out The Second Death of Locke and then Heated Rivalry became available literally that night. I'm a slow reader so I'm not sure I can finish both in 2 weeks 😬
Spoiler: he gave me whatever the fuck he’s sick with. We’re both down with strep jr shit.
Trying to drag my lesbian friend onto tumblr because I think she would flourish in the environment. I think the psychic damage she takes would just be a bonus.
My coworker next to me has 900+ hours of banked sick leave and he has a scratchy throat and has already told our manager he’s coming down with something and REFUSES TO GO HOME TO AVOID GETTING THE REST OF US SICK. I’m supposed to leave for Vegas next week and I don’t wanna miss The Eagles!
I think whether ai writing can be as "good" as a human writer is a red herring. I'm not interested in random words spit out by a machine. I want to read something written by a human with intent and emotion and all the messed up stew of experiences and weird ideas swirling in their brain spilling out
I like when people say "ai is here, you'll get left behind." Brother, I do not want to be dragged along to the land of piss tinted glossy cheap looking art and poorly assembled words cosplaying as a book written by someone who thinks it gets style points per em dash. Leave me where I am.
Next person to hack cough without attempting to cover their face/mouth….. well, I’ll do something anyway. Probably scream.
I DON’T CARE IF ITS JUST A COLD I DON’T WANT THAT EITHER.
Emotion: stressed
Stimulated: over
Desire: to cry, scream, and throw myself out of a window
I’m doing great, thanks for asking.
Trying not to doomscroll. Popped on here for five minutes. DOOM. Why can’t it be flirting instead?
Like NOBODY in the entire history of employment has ever done this before. Grow up bro.
I thought my daylight alarm clock was smart enough to change itself over for DST and it didn’t so I was an hour late to work this morning and my coworker decided to roast me for around 7 1/2 minutes for it. He insinuated I was stupid for not using my phone for an alarm among other things. Like?
An AO3 screenshot of the work Words are Hard, This is Easier in the Good Omens fandom with the hits of 1,169 circled in red ink.
Haha, nice. 😎
I think if I were an employee as a safer company in a safer state, I would totally start T. Unfortunately I’m beholden to transphobic whims and I don’t think I would have a job much longer if I started growing beard hair while having an F on my Workday profile.
Slim pickings today. I went ahead and ran with this. Enjoy the lore dump about Arthrax the demon that continues to haunt William.

A screenshot tumblr post from fixyourwritinghabits saying “you can tell I don’t use AI because every time I look at a post I made I find a new typo”
Rest assured my inability to spell is from being raised in auto correct and new recently bad implementations of AI trained modern autocorrect. My stupidity is genuinely human.
Repost because I grabbed the wrong screenshot I had up ha
18 results for the word sweet and it was hard to pick one that didn't give away a major plot point. Which, might not be the worst idea, but I'd like some secrets left in my pocket when I go to query!

I forgot how much fun this WIP is. Getting into the mind of a demon that thrives on chaos and general amorality is a fun exercise but I also remember how being in that mindset exhausted me. 😮💨 (Also apparently Linux machines don't have emojis natively! Oops!)

That is genius actually. Make it lot easier than digging underneath my sink for a new liner every time too!
There are many benefits to living alone but one downside is I’m the one responsible for replacing the trash liner in the trash can after I take the trash out. So many times I’ve taken out trash and went about my business only to discover I never replaced the liner when I go to throw something away.
I wish I knew! Alas, I am only a messenger who received HumbleBundle emails. What’s weird is I think I remember those being included a previous iteration of this bundle? Maybe? It’s been a while since then though. I thought it used to be 41 books, not 39. So maybe it’s a recent change?
Terry Pratchett Discworld series for **Kobo** available on HumbleBundle again.
$25 minimum, 39 books.

Arthrax may seem wise but uses this astute observations only to cause more chaos and sow dissent among his various victims.
In other words, he’s a little shit.

the fun part of having a blog that i have now for over 10+ yrs is that i get to sometimes find old posts of mine and go "wow, i rly was a whole different person back then huh" lmfao
As someone who's never tasted alcohol even into my thirties, this fanfic piece was before I had come to the obvious realization that I could *GOOGLE* the effects of alcohol and doses. So, that one's on me. We're going to pretend that the characters of GO just have a really high tolerance.

On the desktop of your computer you should have a TRUNK file. This file should hold writing you think is subpar. That writing is parked. No, you should NOT throw stuff out. Your brain is working on all your unfinished works all the time. Trust yourself a bit.

What are you listening to lately?
Delusional ambition is more fun anyway
Asked their stupid little AI “Assistant” they keep shoving at us on how to turn the texts off and it hallucinated menu options that don’t exist. I’m going to have to call my phone company after work, aren’t I?
I don’t think my phone company should be able to text me promotions for their other services like Internet without my express consent (which they do not have, I can assure you!!!)
Additional info cause I got distracted by a coworker asking me an inane question:
