In 2026: Generative AI is not inevitable. You can say no. You can refuse. You can reject the disgusting lukewarm slop that the richest and worst people in the world are trying to force-feed you. You can tell them to eat shit and die mad. You can break the machine

No one looks nonbinary.
Androgynous, maybe, but those are not synonyms.
Nonbinary folks slant masc, femme, androgynous, or are fluid. You do not know looking at someone. Asking for preferred pronouns is a kindness this nonbinary femme appreciates. Thank you!

Crap. Just remembered a story concept I came up with in High School (a literal century ago), and it's kind of good.

Just a thing about this: a common statement in writing is that you can fix crap, but you can't fix a blank page.
I have heard AI apologists claim that this is why it's fine to generate a first draft.
Now, to be clear, fuck this.
But also: an AI draft is a fucking blank page.

I know I don’t talk about writing much. It is because I am writing so slowly.
But I want you to know that I am taking a part of this story that absolutely sucked and took me months to produce four of the worst chapters I have ever written and in the edit I figured out how to fix it.

I should start writing in composition notebooks again. Computers suck.
I found the original, hand-written draft of Lucy Kills in Her Sleep (it had a different name then)--two composition notebooks, 300 handwritten pages on the dot.
I now know I finished it before 11/2008. No clue when I started.
