Many members of several tribes have requested it not be used by non-native people, and that the name itself is considered taboo. The pop culture depiction of it as a scary deer monster isn't even that close to the real description of the being, so at this point calling it that is just further insult

The popular flesh-eating deer-monster with the name that starts with a W is a serious figure in many Native American tribes and has been requested many times that it is not used as some goofy fun movie monster. Instead how about you consider: Not Deer? cryptidz.fandom.com/wiki/Not_Deer

The fine art market and after market is such a grift, man.
Granted, I haven't worked steadily, but this "original painting" sold for $6,000,000, which is more than I've made in my entire working life. (The gag is by Derek or Steve… cleanups by Caleb Meurer and/or Heather Martinez).

“Because riders and passersby can be unreliable, Waymo pays workers in Los Angeles $20 or more for rescuing a robotaxi by closing a door, summoning help through an app called Honk that is like an Uber for towing companies.”
When robot taxis get stuck, a secret army of humans comes to the rescue
Waymo robotaxis get stranded when a passenger leaves the door open. Tow truck operators can get paid $22 to close a door and set them free again.

“Do you know how long it takes a working man to save $5,000?”
Approximately 42% of Americans have less than $5000 in savings.
79 years later and this question, defending the working class against unchecked greed and exploitation, hasn’t aged at all.

Just a thing about this: a common statement in writing is that you can fix crap, but you can't fix a blank page.
I have heard AI apologists claim that this is why it's fine to generate a first draft.
Now, to be clear, fuck this.
But also: an AI draft is a fucking blank page.

I know I don’t talk about writing much. It is because I am writing so slowly.
But I want you to know that I am taking a part of this story that absolutely sucked and took me months to produce four of the worst chapters I have ever written and in the edit I figured out how to fix it.

Alright I've been disappointed by the last two sapphic monster romances I tried, any #bookrecs for others? Maybe third time is the charm.
I will accept other monster romances too, but please, I need characters with actual *chemistry.*

Something @tkingfisher.com does incredibly well is portray abuse in a very realistic way. Sometimes it's not shouting or physical violence, it's just your partner endlessly nitpicking your choices. "Are you sure you didn't offend them?" And then acting like they're "just looking out for you"

Obviously, this is amazing BUT the thing I love most, is that it's directly poking fun at the desire/fetish to overanimate overlapping action & smears.
Asking someone of James Baxter's calibre to *intentionally* do this (as well as mess up the spacing on a bounce) is funny in the nerdiest way.

When we say "no, everything hasn't been digitized," I need you to understand that we really mean is that virtually nothing has been digitized. This is because the realm of primary sources that historians use is incomprehensibly large.
Seems like it's worth posting this one again.

Agreed. I thought it was a good movie but NOT a good allegory for school shootings because it refuses to actually grapple with gun violence as a subject.
