Why can I only come up with edgelord answers, like "love feels like the bullets they're all dying to take for each other"?
Okay, real answer: love sounds like the distortion of someone's voice heard through their chest while you sob into it and they lie that it'll be okay #Lovember

Today's #Lovember #WritingPrompt for the #WriteSky #WritingCommunity, courtesy of my partner who always has better ideas than I do:
What does love taste, smell, or feel like to your character(s)?

Interesting to me how closely the "uses ai" and "doesn't us alt text" circles overlap. So much so that I half-assume any art without alt text is ai at first glance

also, if you care about disability justice, hope you’re also pro-fat liberation.
do you know how many people have gone to the doctor for troubling symptoms, been automatically dismissed and told to lose weight, and then developed late-stage/severe chronic and acute illnesses?

It also fucking sucks that so many people on the Left(s) refuse to understand anti-fatness as a system of oppression, and fat liberation as a legitimate anti-oppression movement.
It sucks, because it's all connected, and if you don't see this part, you don't have a clear understanding of the whole.

Your trauma conditioning will try to trick you into being cruel to yourself in the name of "realism." It's real good at disguising unfair, reflexive self-talk as "tough love."
Remind yourself it is not "coddling" to speak to yourself respectfully & kindly in your own head.

I alluded to this yesterday, but Leecie isn't the type to hug and kiss on everyone she meets. She generally likes it with her close friends, though. The classic paradox of touch-starved and touch-averse that so many of us autistics know well
Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters
How does your character feel about physical touch?
Are they fans of a handshake, hug, pat on the back, etc?
Do they prefer to keep their distance?
Does it matter how close they are to the other person?

Others have said it before, but if 'AI' was any good, they'd be charging us for it and we'd be happy to pay. Shoehorning it into every single aspect of people's lives just reeks of desperation.

The reason you see AI pushed so hard in products, ads and promoted posts is that they know people don't WANT to use it but they are desperate to recoup on their millions in investments.
They wouldn't be over-saturating your feed with AI tools if people were buying these things on their own.

I appreciate everyone who has been discussing this issue. I haven't been adding much more to the public convo as (1) there isn't much more to add yet, and (2) as I've mentioned, I'm exploring potential legal options. If I learn more I'll add more, but for now... this is the most thorough overview

Bolton is pretty effusive with his words and his physical contact. When giving herself permission to, so is Leecie, though her preferred method of showing love is more to silently fix whatever was bothering you. Luke is also a fixer. Rose is a puncher. #Lovember

As soon as Luke and Rose learned how to make lumpia, it was over for them. That's all they ever get to bring.
For Leecie I'm feeling box brownies with add-ons like peanut butter or choc chips.
Bolton and Chuck are hosting so they'll do the meat and fixings
