Just saw someone on LinkedIn say they use GenAI for "complex synthesis work."
What complex synthesis work were they doing, might you ask?
Building a recipe plan.
I'm actually. I can't.

This is a really heartening conversation about Trump's failing grip on, well, everything. As @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social says, I do not regret to inform you we are going to win.
As Trump's physical and political decline worsens, the cultish flattery from top aides has proportionally grown. As @moiradonegan.bsky.social says on the pod, Trumpworld is now puffing him up publicly to compensate for his deterioration.

the trans panic, legislation of transmisogyny, etc. is not "distracting from the epstein files", it entrenches the sexual abuse. transphobia towards trans kids always entails sexual abuse, by families & states. one of epstein's first victims was a trans girl, ava cordero, who was not believed

I want to spend time in my world, with my characters. I want to develop the book like a relationship, with a significant investment of time and energy.
And to be quite frank, I'm only interested in consuming art that was ALSO produced with that level of care and effort.

RE: Mark's post in the image: People who talk about creative endeavors like it's an efficiency problem do not get art.
I don't WANT to write a book in hours instead of years. I want to sit there and labor over every word and phrase. Over my characters' motivations and responses. That's the POINT.

I cannot stress enough that most ppl don't ever even think about calling their reps. I talk to ppl in my fam about it and they go "Huh? What?". But your reps work for YOU. They need to know what you actually care about. When we call in big numbers it ALERTS them, cuz they rarely hear from us.
Hey romancelandia and fandom peeps! If you live in the U.S. right now you should know that KOSA (along with a slew of censorship bills) are advancing through congress right now. If you care about spicy books and/or fanfiction you should contact your reps right now and tell them to vote NO on KOSA!

Rob Reiner either made your favorite movie, or made somebody you know’s favorite movie. If you’re a Californian, he’s also part of the reason you or your friends can get married. He has changed more lives for the better than this asshole commenting on him ever did.

I know it's difficult to be creative when we're just trying to survive. But it does matter. Whether you make things professionally or as a hobby or even if you make something that you never show to anybody. It's good for the human soul to create.
Also, congratulations everyone who made something this year. A comic, a song, a film, a novel, a painting, a poem, a short story, a sculpture, crochet, embroidery, whatever it is. In this era of slop and theft, if you *make* something you are a shining jewel and I am so grateful for you.
