Coming to terms with the fact that I see my options of self-belief to be black and white between imposter syndrome vs delusional and need to find my space between those…

I feel like as a community we didn’t make enough fun of that awful transphobe who put a recipe from a Zelda game in his book by accident.

My AuDHD vibe is that most days I don’t feel like a real person, I feel like a toddler drew a scribbled picture of a someone that looks a bit like a sleep paralysis demon and then it (sort of) came to life.

AI is already here, like a bloated festering corpse someone just dumped through a window during the middle of a perfectly nice wine and cheese night with your most interesting friends.

Brilliant news from Aotearoa New Zealand, where trans health professionals have won an interim halt to the country's politically-driven puberty blocker ban. Wishing them all the best for further legal action.
PATHA's statement follows: “This is a win for trans young people, their whānau, and the health professionals who care for them. The High Court has recognised the harm this ban will cause, and the significant issues in the decision Cabinet made to restrict access to this life-saving care.”

The funny thing is, if someone with no artistic skill or talent tries to draw something an does it in a way that’s objectively ‘bad,’ the final product is still infinitely more interesting and engaging than AI slop, because art is the product of an artist. Give me a stickman over stolen robo-vomit.

If a writer has never tried writing a short story, I recommend it.
Have and idea for a novel but want to see if the voice and hook work?
Struggling to shift between voices for POV characters or understand perspectives of villains or supporting cast?
Want to reignite your spark fast?

I like to imagine a person just off the picture sawing through the metal beam.
I guess it's fitting that it's a reimagined, worse version of someone else's artwork

One of my favourite things I do when I write a story is that near the start I write some silly little things to get your tastebuds acquainted, then gradually drop in more c then by the end I start making things happen that are hilariously absurd and my aim is for you to not even bat an eyelash.

Looked at some of my old videos of me talking about things for TikTok or other stuff an I’m absolutely blown away by how stress this year has utterly demolished my confidence around speaking and made me increasingly want to be non-speaking more often.

Ppl really out there using photoshop to give themselves abs and a more angular jaw, and I’m the using it to remove stains off my tops and flip the logo on my T-shirts because seeing myself mirrored makes me want to implode.

“Yes, you are very pretty but you have great sadness in your eyes.”
