Today, we will be charged a $76 fee to begin an eviction process. For some reason, my posts can’t get beyond 5 to 8 shares. I don’t know what to do. Sharing helps reach those that can help.

We urgently need to raise $1,000 to go w/my husband’s check to stay housed. Please help πŸ’›

$44.55/$5,500

Most professors described the experience of contending with the technology in despairing terms. β€œIt’s driving so many of us up the wall,” one said. β€œGenerative AI is the bane of my existence,” another wrote in an email. β€œI wish I could push ChatGPT (and Claude, Microsoft Copilot, etc) off a cliff.”

β€œI now talk about AI with my students not under the framework of cheating or academic honesty but in terms that are frankly existential,” said Dora Zhang, a literature professor at the University of California, Berkeley. β€œWhat is it doing to us as a species?”

β€œThere’s kind of defeatism, this idea that there’s no stopping technology and resistance is futile, everything will be crushed in its path,” said Clune, the Ohio State professor. β€œThat needs to change … We can decide that we want to be human.”

It’s definitely central to her character!

I love that his daydreaming is the reason that he started his life of crime!

From the very first line, Hana is imaginative. She is always daydreaming. She lives in such a bleak and hopeless world, so it helps her a lot to get lost in her daydreams. But her imagination might help her change the impossible into possible.

He’s fun to write! I don’t think the other characters enjoy it as much. He probably is that type!

Hana is so sweet that her stubborn nature can shock people. If she thinks she is right about something, she will walk through hell to prove her point.

Matthias, on the other hand, seems stubborn and contrary, but he usually will back down if it is important to a loved one. He just likes to argue.

Hana can’t help laughing at PRINCE Evan joining in on an anti-royal demonstration

The entitlement of some is unreal. You don't get an author-on-request. Books are not for you personally. What you take away from them is. If you don't like a book, cool! That's okay! Move on.

Also, bring back manners. Write your reviews how you want, but saying this to an author? Who raised you?

That is so hard and scary. I can’t imagine. I’m really sorry you’re going through this and that things are that bad for her.

I’m so sorry. I really hope things get better for her.

Yeah I’m done with Pixar. There is so much wrong with what he said. But I will say that I hoped things would be better than when I was a child. The lack of representation sends a really damaging message to young people.

I’ve never used it and never needed to. It’s so bizarre to me people claim they need it … it’s less than four years old? Calm down.

We didn’t get cyberpunk … we got dumbpunk.

Gen Z *men* don't want kids. They want the visible status supported by women's unpaid labor.

And Gen Z women see through their shit.

DREAMS DO COME TRUE! I am sooo excited to announce that I am now represented by the amazing @socalledyalife.bsky.social (Natascha Morris at The Tobias Literary Agency). Her vision & enthusiasm for my whimsy academia YA novel SOULBOUND just made my whole life. I can’t wait to start this new journeyπŸ₯ΉπŸ’–
