Why waste so much time and energy figuring out how to police people? knitting is a much more productive hobby.

This is *chef's kiss*
For the past six weeks, an AI Facebook account has been pulling my history posts on Instagram and slopping out new captions, so I’ve been feeding it poison pills and its followers are having meltdowns in the comments. It’s been pretty spectacular.

Road trip from Tampa back to California. My friend drove yesterday's leg, After *hours* she said, "We're still in Florida?? This feels like driving in California!"
Me, driving today on the 10, seeing smoke: "You're right! It *is* like driving in California!"

"don't use speech tags," I said!
don't use present tense
don't use #%&!

Taking a flight connector bus between terminals at LHR, thinking about how comparatively compact LAX is. Then I remembered that SoCal has at least 5 international airports. 😃

"May I have your name?" the faerie said.
"William," she said with a smile.
"Ah ah!" The faerie gave a wicked laugh. "I have your name! Now no-one will call you by it!"
"Thank you," she said.
"To win it back, you must- what?"
"I will find me a new one," she said, "one that suits me better."

Have a new release, and the series starter is on sale. You can find that info pinned in my profile.
I'm not marginalized, so I'm not adding mine to this thread. But I *am* here to signal boost because a little escapism is the rest we need before we start climbing the next cliff.

Shits scary and people are using their platforms to spread awareness. I am neither a seasoned activist nor a journalist so I’m going to try and spread relief to people whose minds are stressed as mine is: if you have a book out or coming out, post it in reply, especially if you’re marginalized.
