Just got back from vacation earlier this week where I hardly touched social media. I realized just how good that was for my mental and emotional well-being.
So I've been staying away. And as much as I want to keep informed, I've stopped following anyone regularly commenting on politics.

While touring the Queen Mary today, I was wearing a shirt with my book cover for The Alpha Expedition on it, and a staff member stopped me and asked about it because he recognized the cover!! That's the first time a stranger "in the wild" has recognized one of my book shirts!! 📚🩵

Just a reminder, Generative AI art is theft. Generative AI writing (of any kind) is plagiarism.
Don't let your grey stuff devolve, don't let AI do your thinking and creating for you.

So, for reasons, I'm learning all about different hypertension medicines, and...I'm kinda pissed about how this all works.
Each kind of hypertension medicine treats a specific vector to relieve hypertension. But based on experience, the wrong medicine can have immediate, harmful effects.

Writers, keep writing. Do not buy into the hype train telling you your job will be replaced in a few years. Those using AI are literally atrophying their brains ability to be creative. The future will need your words, your creativity, to function well.

Maybe this is a neurodivergent thing, but if you have your own website, please, FFS, do NOT have pop ups, even to subscribe to newsletters or whatever. Just have your link as part of your main nav bar.
Nothing makes me hate your website faster than a goddam pop-up.

Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users.

Self-publishing authors: I can't overstate this enough. Unless you are a professional graphic design artist, I recommend one of the following:
1: Hire a professional cover artist
2: If you can't afford one, get LOADS of people to check your cover art before publishing your book with it
