Well done!

What I'm suggesting is: you should not be using Grammarly.

This and Wings of Albatross (the other episode in Part 2 directed by Miyazaki) are so so good. Honestly the latter half of Part 2 is where the art direction in the show really hit its stride and I honestly think Miyazakiβs influence really helped it. Love it so much

To fully understand "Sinners" and the world of the Smokestack twins, we need to explore the Rust Belt Gothik, the tradition of Black speculative survival strategies forged in response to the pressures of the Great Migration
In kid lit... voicey identity-driven middle grade, romance with cultural significance, adventure fantasy with knights, coming of age in international settings In illustration... art that emphasizes line elements, pastel/bright color schemes, pixar-like character expressions, sketchy with a colored pencil feel In graphic novels... cinematic panel sequences, buddy adventure fantasy, dreamy solar punk sci-fi coming of age through language, speculative cultural narratives, stories where places feel like a character
In adult fiction... speculative horror/thriller, contemporary romance, philosophical sci-fi, fantasy with cozy magical realism, identity-driven book club fiction In non-fiction... digestible civics & current affairs, international journalism, pattern recognition in nature, exploratory issues in pop culture from creative industries
"I'm looking for voicey kid lit! For adult fiction, I'm still looking to grow my horror list and identity-driven book club fiction. I want to learn something new in non-fiction and find a project that helps others learn things in digestible ways." @loveleemonicaa.bsky.social #mswl

Here are some instances of funny and weird Chinese stuff found in the game Sifu.
How funny? Well, in the Night Club level, there are various fire-related slogans, one of which is η«η§η«η.
It literally means "fire burns", but it's used to describe someone being anxious... or horny.
Hard to stand firm in my beliefs when an asian grandma quietly shows you a petition for govt protections towards Falun Gong.

One of the things I find fascinating about the "you need to learn to use AI or you'll be left behind" crowd is that everyone I know who has been forced to use it has said that the only way to use it in a way that actually results in time savings is to know the field extremely well.

When I hear people say romance readers read too much I just remember that we not only regularly prop up the industry, but our hits are wildly profitable and they HATE that. Fifty Shades made Random House so much money every employee at the company got a $5,000 bonus lmao
