The same as I ever was: lots of writing, lots of complaining. But almost never complaining about writing.
Learning has always been gate-kept as a privilege and a luxury but we should never stop pinpointing that as a very wrong thing. (Which is not to say that learning a trade is not learning, because it is, of course! But school-as-luxury is always a terrible tragedy)
I love when I reread a chapter I wrote and it's long enough ago that I forget the details and it literally makes me laugh out loud. It's just the best feeling. (It was specifically this bit. Because it's true, Yukon Cornelius is just UNHINGED.)
This headline makes me think of that Seinfeld episode where Kramer pretends to be the Moviefone computer
Ah, yes, "Charlotte's Web," the book where the spider writes "Take this pig away" in her web, right? Am I getting that right?
Imagine sending me a $5 coupon in error, and instead of honoring it, sending me the next day an email saying, "We messed up, there is no coupon." Capitalism, everybody! Definitely gets consumers the best service!
"Why would an American corporation act like the country has free speech and allows things to be said that might upset the President?"
Wait, not using your brain anymore turns out to have repercussions for the use of your brain????? This is so weird??????
Everyone, the companies that built their products by stealing all of our data are really worried that someone stole all of THEIR data!!!!!
This is such a blessing of fanfiction communities that should always be nurtured and encouraged: Leave your writers comments! Fic is always a conversation and that's made me such a better writer.
Gonna start using "not even Elon Musk" in as meaningless a way as it is used in this headline. No one, not even Elon Musk, could clean my bathroom better than it looks now. No one, not even Elon Musk, could bake a better chocolate cake than I just did. Etc.
"I've got an idea for one of those Christmas movies." "Yeah? What's it about?" "A snowman who comes to life." "Is the snowman hot?" "Of course he is." "So he's hot Frosty?" "Bingo." "What should we call the movie?" "Hot Frosty." "Is that too on the nose?" "...Nah."
Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #447,179!
Is that what we're doing now? Calling them the 10s? I'm against this. I think we shouldn't call them the 10s, we should permanently call the entire decade "last year."
Going to start a collection of headlines that are mindboggling.
Look I think scrooge is genuinely hilarious, I kind of love him hahaha. Is this Dickens's intention?????
Okay it's this kind of nonsense that makes everyone think about Dickens getting paid by the word but I like how Dr. Seuss it all is!
I love this because if there's any industry that should be aspirational because of how much consumers adore their experience with it, it's the airline industry, as we all know
Like, look at this simile. "like a bad lobster in a dark cellar" what????? Look there is probably some Victorian explanation for this comparison but I don't want to know what it is because this is bona fide hilarious to me, WHAT WAS DICKENS EVEN ON?????
On days when I don't teach, the best time of the morning is when I work in bed so Copley can snuggle up close to me.
This catalog is selling a wing of Icarus sculpture and I feel like this is what a James bond villain has hanging over his fireplace. "oh that? That's just the wing of Icarus. I had it retrieved from the sea after it melted off his body and he plummeted to his death."
"hi, my little boy with the wagging tail! Good morning! Want to go for a walk?"
I think Copley senses when I'm about to get out of bed because he'll be laying near me not touching me and then as soon as I make up my mind to get up he shifts to put his little head on my foot.
