fuck right off.
Saw a post today that advised writers to stop writing as if a human will read it and start writing for an LLM that will be summarising.

As someone who really enjoyed trying to develop a peculiar but readable authorial voice, I find this incredibly depressing.

the verge's reviews program has always been the heart of the site and one reason we jealously protect it and refuse to do brand deals is so we can just say the products are bad www.theverge.com/report/82215...

Friendly reminder that not everyone likes to put all of their trauma on the internet (no shame to those who do) so you never really know who you're quote skeeting and what they've endured.

Thirty West chapbook submissions are free. However, some people choose to tip us a few bucks, or even purchase a title. This photo is all of the purchases logged to date. With budgets tight and pennies (RIP) pinched, we can’t thank you enough for supporting a scrappy indie press of 10 years. 📚

Now I'm wondering: what is your ideal chocolate chip for choc chip cookies? I'm a bittersweet girl (80%).
My ideal cookie is a thick chocolate chip that is soft but does not taste/feel under baked in any way

imagine the scene:
Fancy hard cheese next to peanuty peanut brittle
slightly spicy kimchi next to a decoratively arranged flower of pulparindo, slightly spicy tamarind paste
Fancy almonds mixed with the pastel candied chickpeas
