All ages are welcome to follow me here. If i was rich, I would be eccentric, but for now I am just weird. In my spare time between anxiety attacks, I enjoy writing and making things.

My arthritis has been so bad I can hardly walk or hold a pen. I have a couple big new ideas for writing but my sickly body can't keep up with my brain. Isn't something like this why the cybermen were invented? They always freaked me out more than any other whovian nemesis.

I am looking forward to the Ohio Poetry Association's workshop tomorrow about how writing short forms can inform better writing. When I have mental/physical health problems short forms (flash, haiku et c.) are easier to tackle and less taxing for me. #poets #writing #writers #disabledwriters

I've been obsessed with the myth of Cupid and Psyche since I was a kid reading it for the first time in a hospital bed, and that obsession fueled a later obsession for French Salon Fairytales...which led to my building the hypertext narrative upon which this novel is based. A fractal of cupids!
An epic revisitation of the myth of Cupid and Psyche as seen through the eyes of a memory-wiped storytelling mermaid-siren living in a house-share with an automaton-building Javanese engineer with a traumatic past. 🧜♀️

"Allison.
Your heart would beat faster,
If it still beat,
But now you just felt a haunted feeling,
In your chest,
A flurry of ghosts within what remains of you.
You couldn’t let anything happen to her.
You knew you had to help her.
You knew you had to haunt her."

My best friend, who is almost 80, told me that years that end in 4 are always bad, and 44 is the absolute worst. I've been 44 for 2 months and can attest she knows of what she speaks. #midlifecrisis

I have been thinking a lot about copylefting. If AI can steal my style, my fellow flesh bags might as well have at it too.

This idea may be too esoteric, IDK
Consider those Star Trek episodes where Kirk confuses an evil supercomputer until it implodes.
It looks like #AI is going to be trained on our writing whether we like it or not.
Might as well bury a poison pill in there somewhere. www.youtube.com/watch?app=de...

Luddites weren't anti-tech.
They were against technology being used by the capitalist class to capture wealth at the expense of the worker.
I am a Luddite, and a tech enthusiast. They're not in opposition. I want technology that makes MY life better, not that sells my life piecemeal to corps.

I hate crypto, I hate online gambling, I hate AI, I hate pay-later, I hate subscription models, I hate the gig economy, I hate ring cameras, I hate drones, I hate self checkout.
I don't want to come off as a luddite but capitalism's hold on tech sucks.

Watched a video essay about the failure of streaming and it described physical media as an act of rebellion. I think I like that.

This would be a good time for the Catholic clergy in Los Angeles to show up and help people by peaceful protest.
A less lethal munition started a fire in a dumpster and the LASD continued firing at the car in front of it. In the car is handicapped individual.
