Aww, it makes me happy when my writers are happy.

AI right now is just animals bouncing on trampolines and people falling through inconspicuously high glass bridges and stealing your soul by increments through AI overview results in your Google searches.

One of the few things I've mastered in life is drunken disclosure while sober. I've had a lot of practice ... because I'm awkward AF.

Even if you had a peaceful experience yesterday, remember this kind of policing by threat of violence or actual violence is common. Stay loud, but stay safe.
So it’s just going to be every cops everywhere now that uses excessive force upon people and violates their constitutional rights.

This is Charleston, SC and they did this for all of 10 people just exercising their first amendment.

The four pics of Mom that I took at the #nokings event weren't enough for my sister, and she wanted me to find us in other people's post for whatever reason. We were at a suburban event with >1,200 ppl. I finally found signs we were there in a stranger's sm post, but I doubt she'll be impressed.

I'll be hosting this tomorrow. If you're a writer looking to ensure you're not falling down patriarchal rabbit holes when it comes to making your antiheroine a badass, come hang out. The event is free.
Writers Lunch: Creating a Badass Antiheroine
We all want to root for the baddie sometimes. Let's talk about how to build an antihero that delights your audience.

Today I learned that if you see a tornado and it doesn't look like it's moving, it means it's coming toward you.
(Found by going down a Google hole, not from actual experience, luckily.)

It looks like the EFA is currently running a sale on their traditional courses. I still have a few slots in my Editing Science Fiction and Fantasy class, but you can find others on macros, line editing, editing romance, and more! #editing #bookediting #bookeditors #lineedit #developmentaledit
Editorial Freelancers Association
Journey into the uncharted worlds and arcane magics of science fiction and fantasy editing. These genres have audience expectations that can be opaque to an unindoctrinated editor, but once you get to know them, you’ll learn just how much fun editing speculative fiction can be!

#NaNoWriMo is shutting down. Good fucking riddance. Something that should have been beautiful got real ugly by the end.

Not me digging through the guts of this here SRT file because the transcription AI thinks I'm saying "syphilis solution" when I'm talking about an easy fix.
