Reading Any Trope But You by Victoria Lavine.

My thoughts so far

1) Moose are dangerous actually.
2) A pulsing unilateral headache is a migraine not a tension headache.

Otherwise good so far.

I think I have 15 books just on my coffee table.

Also, I do have a library, even if I currently want to put in some better shelves.
WIFE: "Just read that an average person has 15 books in their home. Do they mean 'in reach'?"

Wasn’t using them in the first place.
Uninstall Grammarly NOW. They've partnered with an AI company and actively scrape your writing to train its models.
HEAD'S UP FELLOW #CREATIVES!
If you haven't heard, #Grammarly is changing...and one change that doesn't pass the smell test is the incorporation of the ocean-boiling plagiarism machine that is #AI. 😒

40 million people, including children, have lost their SNAP benefits. I just donated.

Have you?

starting Nov 1st we're entering the holiday season, which is a big stress point for big businesses like Mastercard and Visa. These Paypros havent stopped cracking down on Adult Content, so we need to jump back into calling them in full force again!

Recently updating all my devices. Was 7 or 8 OS versions back.

I hate it. Everything seems to take more steps to do the same thing. And my typing on my phone has only gotten worse. Pretty sure the keyboard buttons are smaller than before.

These tech companies are trying to make me a Luddite.

Because of everything going on here in the US, a lot of authors are offering free books if you share a proof that you donated money to a food bank.

Below is a list of a bunch of the authors who have offered. I just submitted my own request to join the list.

Not seeing much on my timeline about it anymore, so here's a reminder: payment processors are still trying to censor NSFW content of all kinds, and are in fact getting more aggressive about it; I'm seeing stories of folks losing access every day

Call them & tell them THIS IS BULLSHIT
Stop payment processors from censoring games!
