Oooo that's not good.

The willingness of racists to sabotage their own lives just for the chance to hurt someone else continues to be the most perplexing part for me. I don't hate anyone more than I love myself.

He's also factually wrong on several points in that clip. Fuck that guy.

Anyone who argues that AI can do your research for you was not the one who did all the work in the group project

Yeah. I did. Thank you.

Two polished rock slices on a wooden table with a business card in front. Rock on left is a pocketed quartz-like white matrix utterly rife with tiny clear crystals, right rock is a banded thunder egg style in gorgeous browns to clear crystals in the center. Card in front reads "West of Expression, solid rock inspiration."

Ooo. My order from the Etsy shop West of Expression arrived today. Gorgeous!
Guess I have stories to write.

Meh. I'm mostly whining; the last two weeks have been... a lot...and I'm trying to regain my equilibrium. Thank you!

There is not. Overslept and woke to a kerfluffle in a discord and a list of family things to add to my to-do list (that i honestly should have anticipated and didn't). Making myself rice pudding because sometimes comfort food is best food.

There was no one there! It was a robo call! Argh!

Circumcision is gender confirming surgery. There are more children in federal detention than have had transgender surgery. There more children with measles than have had transgender surgery.

FRAMING IT as sweeping and indiscriminate????

We've reached the point where you actually have to opt OUT of an author impersonation feature.

Let me tell you the weekslong process my company just went through just to be able to send marketing texts to people. But monetizing a product you're pitching as author coaching? Ok!

This is what they've done.

you know, usually when someone impersonates someone they are not without that person's consent it’s called IDENTITY THEFT and/or FRAUD.

gee whiz, it’d sure be nice to go back to that concept one day.

Also, I'm a **self-published** author, and that screams "naive idiot with too much money" to scammers.

... oh, PHOEBE. No. You're just better at personal security. This is a GOOD thing.

Relish this time in your life is all I can say.
I left my book description too close to my email online and... "book club" scams poured in. maybe I should look at their glowing descriptions for marketing help 🤣🤣🤣.

Hashtag endorsement!

Enhorsement?

VERY GRATEFUL to anyone who read RIDER because my assumption is still that literally no one did 🤩

Emails from me or my assistant come from a clpolk.com domain, also, I don't like to email strangers cold, you ideally will get an email from a mutual acquaintance introducing us, as if we were at Almack's on a Wednesday (IYKYK)

So...another class action lawsuit? Great, I look forward the series of paltry checks tech will be writing forever

I'm just starting out and I've been getting daily spam emails from "book clubs" and "other writers."

“This real terror is just a distraction from this other absolute horror that is also being handled with as little care as possible”

I am appalled at how little some of you were loved that you think care is finite

And …

You are old enough to not let it devalue everyone around you as you cope

Im torn between collecting them and printing them out and burning them in a "kill AI" rite.

I am extremely pro-vaccine, but I was dragging my feet on the shingles one until the headlines about it being associated with a lower risk of dementia. Good public health education emphasizes all the downstream benefits of NOT getting an infectious disease. Viruses mess with you.

Good for the square noggin. An automated sales call rousted me out of bed this morning and I'm still mad about it.

Every day feels like they walk us closer and closer to the mouth of a woodchipper.

Targeted harrasment at one person is usually a demonstration to the crowd to not be that person .

They aren’t“just upset”

They aren’t “concerned with justice”

They depend on not being challenged

ECCC was fun and I had a wonderful time.

But there was a storm cloud. When I complained about Trump with my white straight cis friends, we were all sincere and concerned.

But I talked with many Trans friends, and it’s so much worse. They are in fear for their lives.

I have been waiting for this since my reels taunted me with it forever.

I think maybe if we didn’t stigmatize masturbation, that might be a start. It’s good for cancer prevention. It’s generally healthy for you in moderation. And grifting weirdos wouldn’t be making bank on shaming you.
