It feels to weird celebrating good things happening in my life while there’s terrible things going on in the world. It’s almost like I’m not allowed to.
But then I remember that joy and happiness is resistance and I celebrate anyways 🎉🎊

Look if Terry Pratchett’s wish was for his unfinished works to smashed by a steamroller so no one would finish them after he died, I think George is allowed to say his series won’t be finished and be firm on that.
George R.R. Martin has said that if he never completes Game of Thrones sequel Winds of Winter (or the book after that), there's no plan for anyone else to step in. Instead, his Song of Ice and Fire series simply "won't be finished."
Game of Thrones Writer George R.R. Martin Says There's No Plan if He Dies Before Completing Winds of Winter, and the Series Simply 'Won't Be Finished'

You do realize that the specs for the tires you need are ON said tires and in the doorjamb of your car, right? Hell, some car websites let you enter your car specs and can even tell you what you need without Ai.
How hard is it to check that or take a photo or screencap before heading out?

Every example of ai being useful begins with "okay imagine you're in a situation, and you are very dumb"

Am I scared? Yes. Am I worried about myself and the other people in my life I care about? Yes. Do I know what’s going to happen in the next few weeks or even days? No. Am I going to give up and roll over?
Hell no. I’m fighting tooth and nail for everything and everyone I love and that’s a fact.

Welp today is a wonderful day to limit the time I spend on social media to work on a short story that may or may not be relevant and maybe finish a Lego kit.

If you haven’t watched/read “There Will Come Soft Rains”, now is the time to do it. Hauntingly relevant like a vast majority of Ray Bradbury’s other works.

If your complaint of blusky is mainly that its "boring" compared to Twitter then I strongly suggest u rlly think about all the time u waste endlessly scrolling thru so much bullshit on that site. Please learn to not always be on social media 24/7.

I can’t draw to save my life and I sent this doodle to @lovecrafts.bsky.social for what I wanted for the cover of my book vs what I got.
Draw dammit. It doesn’t have to be perfect, just communicate what you want and need.

So apparently people really like the copyright page to my book, specifically this part. Never shared it here, though. Let’s change that 🥰

I was never that close with my grandmother before she passed (living in different state, whatcha gonna do?) but I feel like it would be odd to talk to someone who you haven’t really seen in god knows how long, didn’t really know and I would have to talk to her FOREVER?
Pass. Sorry grandma.
Pass. Sorry grandma.
