Okay, pinned post time!
Places you can find me:
📖AO3: archiveofourown.org/users/Gemma_...
🧠Tumblr: gemmahale.tumblr.com
I do a fair bit of thinking about writing, attempting to write, screaming at blank word documents, and sometimes actually writing. Sometimes fiber arts or bugs and flowers.

AI advocates have warned that if every author in the class action filed a claim, it would "financially ruin" the entire industry.

Your monthly reminder:
Keep writing. When no one cares, persist. When things appear to be crumbling, keep at it. When it's difficult, push through. When you feel alone, listen to the stories in your blood. Just write.

It wasn't until a client made the comment that she needs more coffee that it dawned on me that I have not had my requisite coffee (1 cup vs 2) nor have I taken my brain meds.
....well fuck.

We need to keep the threat of backlash against the use of genAI in art spaces as harsh as fucking possible because if we give these talentless, plagiaristic fucks an inch, you bet your ass they're gonna take a mile. They won't stop until AI "art" enshittifies every medium it can reach. End of story.

It’s distressing that I can’t craft and write at the same time; usually because all my brain bits are as plugged in as much as possible already. 😭
Trading off between them feels completely unfair.

I've had complicated feelings about this comic this year. We've seen so much quiet quitting of rainbow capitalism--a canary in the coal mine. I started wondering if I was naive to not think of when I drew this as "the good times."

One reason I'm excited to visit my parents: elk-peeping (if they're in the area)
Second reason: urban Habitat ReStores and Facebook Marketplace.
...I am not going to need to rent a trailer. I'm not. 🤞
(but also, I just found an entire cabinet set up for Kallen - maybe)

The lack of support in my job (or insinuated support that doesn't manifest) is legitimately pissing me off.
Thanks for giving me uninflated floaties and not the air pump or the specialized nozzle to fill them with I guess. 😒

It's interesting how much better I write when I'm not trying to do 13 other things. Now just need to take a notebook to help me remember thoughts at work. 😅
In other news: 800+ words tonight. I'm pretty pleased as punch with that.

To my friends on the EC. If you have an older house / AC system and are trying to create a delta of more than 20 degrees to the outdoors, you are probably going to end up freezing over one of your coils. Be alert if your system is running continuously with no breaks.

unrelated to anything, but just a reminder to NEVER let anyone dull your enthusiasm for anything. be loud, be excited, be unhinged. as long as you're being respectful, you're not doing anything wrong. people who try and kill that joy, who make it out to be a bad thing, aren't worth keeping around 💜
