If I were a ghost showing up during a seance, I'd probably keep apologizing for not being scary enough and then I'd somehow trip on an ottoman even though I would be incorporeal.

Rose is having trouble breathing and the steroids don’t seem to help. We absolutely must get her X-rays to diagnose her ASAP.
Please, I need $400 right now. I am so scared I am going to lose her. I can’t stop crying.

Close enough welcome back Andrew Wakefield
Oh dear. It seems Dr. Oz’s company sells Trump‘s big autism cure. What a crazy happenstance.

When I have downtime at work I like to write stuff for my wips on paper scraps so I don't forget them. I usually bring them home, folded up, and throw them on my desk to find later. Today I opened one up to find this SUPER important excerpt I simply COULDN'T afford to forget.

Tried to refresh my knowledge of how many circles of hell there were in The Divine Comedy but accidentally typed "corcles" and completely distracted myself by saying it over and over again in the goofy voice

I know many of you haven’t had a Covid shot in years but please, this is so important to call your reps and yell at them about. This is one of the few safeguards immunocompromised and disabled people have against this disease that everyone seems to not be afraid of anymore. Covid still kills people.
The Trump administration will move to pull the COVID vaccine off the U.S. market “within months,” one of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s closest associates, Dr. Aseem Malhotra, has told the Daily Beast. (Something he is pushing for, they are yet to get Trump to agree.)

Practically tearing my hair out at this point. It's been months since I've made progress on a WIP. New WIP ideas come instead of words for current ones. I just want to write!!!! Why can't I write!? What am I doing wrong!?

They’re so jealous you can write.
They’re so jealous you can draw.
They’re so jealous you can make music.
They have all the money in the world, but they’ve been driven insane because they don’t have your joy.

Writers should never modify their own prose as a reaction to what stupid fucking generative AI is doing -- that shit stole from us, and it stole poorly, incompletely, and has none of our magic and zero of our humanity, our experience, our wonder and fear, and it never ever will. Fuck AI. You do you.

Goddamn unrealistic paranormal capitalism
Most economists agree that by the time you're 45, you should own:
- a variety of capes
- at least two enchanted talking skulls
- one square mile of the moon
- a hovercraft capable of outrunning the law
- a ghost filled mansion on the moors

And one final thought: Ozzy going out after giving an emotional final performance that raised a ton of money for charity is more spiritually uplifting and did more genuine good than anything any televangelist and religious grifter who railed against him ever did combined.

Insane nightmare I had where I received an incredibly personalized query rejection on a full and not only did the agent rip the manuscript to shreds but she also tag-teamed in two other agents at her agency to dunk on it.
