I can vouch for the quality of these, as I have gotten one myself. Worth it.

Wow, thatβs poorly worded. I see what theyβre asking, but damn.
I had a great time writing for @worldanvil.com Summer Camp this year - thereβs a little over 53k words across 40 articles! www.worldanvil.com/w/interstiti...
The "Gus Fring we are not the same" meme with the captions: "You think security questions are secure. I know they're social engineering goldmines. We are not the same."
Please. No more security questions.

@tyrdal.bsky.social Welcome to the party
1/ On April 5, there are nationwide protests happening literally everywhere in the US. Find more details here: handsoff2025.com
I donβt know if anyone else here was sad to lose the 538 Politics podcast when Disney killed 538 a few weeks ago, but the host Galen Druke is starting his own: GD Politics.
We need a system that doesnβt squash third parties so we can shed this crap. Personally, I have hopes that ranked choice voting could do that, but Iβd back anything that let me make a meaningful choice that wasnβt stuck in the 2 Party system.
Family includes everyone! β€οΈ
Did you receive a text message from Voter Research Services asking which party youβll be voting for?
This is a scam. If you respond, youβll be asked for your postal code. Scammers can then use your phone number & postal code for nefarious purposes.

A lot of this comes down to the US being locked into a 2-party system that makes no sense. There are more than two options in the real world. If we had six+ parties, they wouldnβt be so internally inconsistent.
Yeah, that makes a huge difference. I would also need coworkers that respected a closed door as a sign that I needed to focus, and wasnβt available for chitchat.
Writing; I took up daily creative writing (325+ words) and it was really helpful for my mental health and wellbeing.
Yeah; with nice loopholes that they can buy so that their security staff can carry guns, but they can prosecute anyone else. Billionaires will never play fair, itβs how they got there.
Thank you!
For me, itβs because writing is so much better for my mental health that I force myself to do it even when uninspired. Sometimes that means I write crap. But even bad writing makes my brain better, and I can edit it later. So, donβt be afraid to write bad stuff.
Probably the most interesting thing I build is the metaphysics of my world. Although my Spooktober monsters get about as much love. But itβs probably a question for the people that read the worlds, not the writers.
FWIW, shattered is one of the most unique and interesting worlds Iβve ever read.
It took decades of not writing despite knowing I wanted to to arrive at the conclusion that skipping a day doesnβt work for me; I need to make it a daily habit or I donβt do it at all. Iβm amazed at people who can take a day off and still go back the day after.
I write anyway. I committed to a writing goal of 325 words a day about 15 months ago and I have stuck to it so far. Itβs not always inspired or even good, but itβs something. If Iβm really stuck, I put something silly or dumb in, and then change it later (or put a lampshade on it).
Shakespeare stole all his plots from previous works. Itβs not where you got the idea - itβs what you do with it that matters.
All sorts of things, but I think itβs primarily stories. Folklore, theater, modern fiction, history, ttrpg games, theyβre all stories and I can usually point to one or more for anything Iβm writing as a place I got this bit or that.
I feel like this is ultimately true of all xenophobia, and that trans people are the current target of a long standing human problem with othering. Itβs probably my least favorite thing about humanity.
Not yet; theyβre 2 & 4, both with some neurodivergence that resulted in language delay. So maybe they do, but they arenβt telling me yet. Iβm looking forward to it though!
Iβve been gaming for a long time, and Iβve always made worlds up on the fly. Then came the pandemic & my kids and I needed something to help manage the stress. I started writing my world casually and found that daily writing was fun and really helpful for my mental health.
Itβs a cliche, but Power corrupts.
