Her next patient is clearly feverish; it’s like someone traced a pink highlighter up his high cheekbones.

Eyes glazed, he stares at her.

“Rey?”

Before she can ask how he knows her name, he shakes his head.

“Sorry. I’ve been so sick, I’m seeing things, saying things that don’t make sense.”

Also, please stop being racist against ancient civs, thanks. POC engineered irrigation systems, automatic doors, ore refineries, precise time-keepers and watercraft capable of long-haul travel. They didn’t need fckin aliens to show or bring them any technology.
Whenever I see pseudoscientific conspiracy theories about ancient aliens or giant petrified trees or ice age satellites or whatever it drives me crazy because THE EARTH IS COOL ENOUGH JUST AS IT IS! WE DON’T NEED TO REACH FOR REASONS TO MAKE IT MORE INTERESTING! HAVE YOU SEEN A TULLY MONSTER??!!

This vacation is meant as a reset- a fresh start for Rey. Five days in a tropical paradise so she could forget about her shitty life for a while. She wouldn't spare a thought for the nasty breakup with her ex, or her tedious job, or the record-breaking winter chill back home.

Always a grift
To be very clear, that lady in the NYT article is not making any money with her hundreds of AI slop books.

She makes money by *convincing people* she makes money that way and getting them to pay her to teach them how to do it.

It's an evolved MLM, and the NYT is helping market it.

The Super Bowl might be on at the Duck Tape, but Clyde and Phee only have eyes for each other 🥰

I’m not really paying much attention to the game other than watching for the half time show, but here’s some great #clydephee fics that are super bowl adjacent 🏈

"I'm not going to hurt you, boy. But I need you to move out of the way."

Instead of moving to the side, though, Ben steps back, pressing Rey, still at his back, further into the limited shelter provided by the alcove around the viewfinder.

Pitiful as it is, it's still better than nothing.

Pad Thai is delicious enough to make me ignore a peanut allergy.

And my happy ass would wind up in the ER too, I FEEL FINNS PAIN.
#Reylo
“So a peanut allergy?”

Finn looks about to cry, so Rey answers the (shockingly handsome) ER doctor.

“Yes. He ate a bit of Pad Thai.”

A tilt of a dark (impressively coifed) head.

“That dish’s well-known for its peanut sauce.”

True.

“Then did your…friend forget he has a peanut allergy?”

I have yet to see any evidence that there is a market for AI-generated books outside of people being tricked into thinking they are not AI-generated books. AKA, it is a project of scamming and deceiving people, and really should be treated as fraud

Vibing away and Google Docs did something funky and I lost 2k of important words. (Got them back but it was terrifying and now my flow is gone because I don't know if I can trust the doc.)

PSA to anyone else using it.
