GenAI can never truly create art because humans create art to communicate with each other, and a computer has nothing to say. GenAI should offend all artists and people who appreciate art because it’s mimicry, funded by talentless hacks who hate artists.

I do love grilling season but I love baking weather more (also I am planning to still do some grilling lmao, cold weather and even snow cannot stop me)

Straight people need to give the word "campy" back until they can stop using it as a negative

I'm watching You Can Count on Me and while I've thought Mark Ruffalo was very good for a long time, I had no idea he was capable of playing such an incredible dumbass

Imaginary arguments in my head about dumb shit my brain is doing but can't imagine a productive way out

The true horror is family

"It seemed to Anna that the concept of "vacation" was antithetical to the concept of "family."" - Diavola by Jennifer Thorne

lmao

I think "familiarity breeds contempt" is mostly true for shitty people - like my parents started treating me better when I spent less time around them, for example. Meanwhile with the people I'm close to, the more time we spend together my affections grow

that’s what im talking about

Howl usually likes it when I sing but she just ran out of the room at top speed because I started singing Sin by NIN lol

"We can be monsters together" 😍😍😍

It truly is the Dark Souls of mental health

After the death of his dog, Michael’s life spirals out of control. He'd been the one constant in his life. He seeks out the killer, plunging him down a bloody path of cults, & old gods... The Companions We Lose is $0.99 for a limited time (snag a signed copy before release, while supplies last) 👇

I think growing up knowing Santa wasn't real and being told not to tell the other kids that is one of my earliest memories of being taught how to mask

Happy Halloween! I'm Kit and these are my two demon companions

Getting to the point where I'm gonna need to upgrade my slam ball (currently 15 lbs) and kettlebell (currently 25 lbs)

Also hi hello all works in my catalogue are $1 or less if you want some queer scares this Halloween

I mostly hate "what to watch next" emails from streaming services because they're full of things I have no interest in watching, but I just got one from Arrow and I added every single suggestion to my watchlist lol

Talamasca off to a great start by killing off a black woman to be replaced by a white guy named Guy who looks like a bargain rate Cillian Murphy

This was a pretty good discussion of diabetes in media diabetes-connections.com/undoing-diab...

So often in media (maybe especially horror and thrillers) they get diabetes very wrong, and it's obviously being utilized as a device to accelerate the plot/motivate characters. And they treat insulin as if it does the opposite and highs as if they were lows. Crafting for Sinners gets it right 💕

I've put together a PowerPoint on the different editing levels, how to determine what your MS needs, and guidance on how to find & choose a freelance editor IF you need one. Feel free to DM me your email address if it would be of use to you! #Writing #AmWriting #Editing #Editors

Proud to be in good company (from Jenny Kiefer's Crafting for Sinners, which I'm enjoying very much)
