An FYI to those that have followed me recently, or may follow me in the future:

I am liberal AS [EXPLETIVE]!!!

And these days I'm no longer afraid of offending anyone because of what some would call a "difference of opinion" because years ago it usually was.

Today it's a difference of humanity.
AI at its best. And if you don't get how bad AI is with this, if you can't read this and understand just how dumb AI is, then you have already been lobotomized.

PSA: AI stands for "Actually Incorrect". I'm sorry if you thought it meant something else. The tech industry isn't good at communication.

I got my new laptop, got it mostly set up. Currently doing a proofread of my ex's latest novel using MS Windows text to speech which was extremely useful a few years ago, but damn... It's cool complete crap now! It can't even pronounce simple words like I or Me or My half the time!

So I got Popeye's today because I had a coupon. They stuck a sheet of coupons in the bag. Those coupons expired last month..... 🤨

I'm finally replacing the laptop that died about a year or so ago. Hopefully that will help me get back to a sense of normality. It's weird how much a good laptop was/is part of who I am. I've missed having one.

I'm still not sure how I feel about BlueSky. It's fine, I guess, but it's also just so basic.

I'm kind of done with all of Meta; between their policy changes and their focus in AI Bots (which I think are already out in full force), Meta just sucks. Sad too because I honestly enjoyed Threads.

Went to The Fremont Street Experience the other night with my oldest. First time going there at night in a long time. He took me to a toy shop and I ended up with two new ornaments for the tree, and two new figures for my collection! Exactly what one would expect from a night on Fremont Street?

Will I manage to get another book done before 12/31/23?? I think so. Some wonderful books read this year from Christie and Dickens to @awinchell.bsky.social with Book 3 of the Imperial Saga.

Welcome new followers!!! It’s so lovely to meet new folk and reconnect with those I was already familiar with 🥳

If you’re a writer of any form, but especially short-form, I hope you’ll enjoy my prompt responses here. I write other things, but this is all I have the cognitive capacity for rn 😂

😘
Hi there 🦋 writers! I’ve had this account for a while but haven’t been using it—until now.

I’d love to find fellow vss, micro, flash, & short-fiction writers to follow. I post #vss prompt responses & the occasional piece I‘ve found that I find compelling enough to share ☺️.

Let’s be friends! 💙

I've had this account for a little while now...

Holy crap! Over a year???

Sorry, got distracted. Anyway, as I was saying...

I've had this account for a while and I just realized, I never added any of my cat photos! I'm a big cat person, so here's my baby, Zidane.
