If #WillTrent gets another season, BTW, I think they could still deal with the not knowing medical history from an adoptee/foster care perspective. I had an experience recently where my brain dumped all knowledge of language when I had something I thought might be a medical emergency.

Sometimes as an adoptee 🥚, I feel like I'm juggling my adoptive and birth IDs, but somehow failing both.

The estimate for how old homo sapiens sapiens actually are on this Earth is expanding. The wild thing, to me, is that we as a species, have amnesia for the majority of it. #anthro #anthropology

Welp, I found out that the textbook is half plagiarized... so had to report it to the chair of the board. !@#$. What the hell.

I truly don't understand why some professors insist on citations, but then fail to do citations themselves. It irks me so much. #WritingCommunity #academia #academics

Search engines are being fat phobic again. TT I was trying to find out if there were fat people who also had strong arms. And I could find heavyweights in women's category (only one because apparently only 1 exists? Is she competing against herself), and for men??? #WritingCommunity

#WritingCommunity What font does your author name look the best in and why/what does it say about you? I have a softness for Garamond for English and Gungseo for Korean. #Art #Graphicdesign

I read something a while back that an adoptee 🥚 (KAD) was compiling a library of (good) books about adoption??? Does anyone know if it was actually built?

Neither character is straight. One is Gray-aro. And the other is multi/ambiamorous. Most people assume the first character is straight. There's rumors around the second, later on they aren't straight. The Polycule in the sequel limits the pan characters from being assumed to be "straight".

I was working on an #art project so much that I rubbed off the fingerprint on my finger I use to access my computer. So I had to recalibrate my computer to see a different finger. I found it frustrating, but amusing.

I finished the Sailor Moon (Manga) Tarot Card, The Lovers and put in the previous versions (Sketch to final) so you can see the development: www.tumblr.com/kimyoonmiaut...

I watched a documentary on early homo sapiens and then realized a lot of Neanderthal ways of seeing and thinking sounds very ND. Honestly, the Neanderthal way of seeing and thinking kinda resonated with me. #Anthropology

There are times I'm glad I paid attention in #History class, and my landlord harassing me is one of those time. Going through the amendments in Mr. D's class in Government was boring, but clearly I remember enough to pull them up.

Your local #Korean here. Let's play, #notahanbok game. This is 100% GenAI. I'm fairly sure. Posted to Amazon. It's not even properly drawn to be made into good clothing. Who wants to play? #Korea #Sewists #sewing Maybe I should invite #Japan and #China too. #Anti-GenAI #antiGenAI Not #art

I added kochujang (I made) to kimchi by mistake)🍽️ I was in pain, so foggy-headed. I tried to wash it off (safely so sink wouldn't clog) but I missed some and now I can tell you why Koreans don't add kochujang to kimchi. MUSH. It turns into MUSH. It fermented too fast, so it fermented unevenly. TT

Never say never. It's all in the framing and point of what you're writing. To argue something is wrong, sometimes you need to show why it is wrong. I tried to skip over it in my writing, but readers couldn't understand why it was argued as wrong, so had to write it back in. Agents then rejected it.

My landlord/Management company/manager are making me become a rental lawyer at the rate they are going.

How comps can backfire for a writer: Simply the reader has no idea what the items are, but that's the only information they are given about the book. This doesn't happen with elevator pitches. #WritingCommunity #amquerying #Agents #IndieAuthors

Hot take: but should island be called oicland? Land mass [o]. The i looks like a long strip of land with a shorter round land [hot spot]. "c" is like an atoll. It would cover the three types of islands. And do away with the "s". Might be an ND thought. #WritingCommunity

Correct

Tip to the #writingcommunity #IndieBook, type is NOT readable because it's bigger, it's because you chose the font well and put it on a high contrast situation which doesn't hurt the eyes. This goes for the #art students too. First 2 lines are a demo of good font choice. The rest is trash.

College art project since I decided to finish my AA in art. It's supposed to be all white and have at least 5 textures. I kinda feel like taking a picture of it halves the experience of it since I made it to move and make sound. SPD and synesthesia working in my favor. The paper fish aren't visible😭

MSG is derived from seaweed🍽️, but I have to admit I prefer the surrounding savory compounds in mushrooms, cooked onions, and from soybeans more. I'm probably in the minority?? Iunno, Natural MSG tastes better. But I'm also SPD.

I found out by accident that Clip Studio Paint is on a real sale after I couldn't Clip Studio (1) to work in a separate window on my XP pen. So I upgraded the whole thing to a perpetual license 4.0. Pretty pleased to see no GenAI. And I finally got the separate screen to work. #Art

So #StrangeNewWorlds #StarTrek the last episode reminded me of Sword of Shannara with Amberle sacrificing herself at the end of that. You see, audience, super powered women must all die. I kinda felt like the whole season was a pastiche of one sort or another, rather than it having a cohesive bite.

I want a manual to my body and genetics, so I know when I'm over or under reacting. I feel as an adoptee🥚, all the kept got one, and the genetic testing is superfluous for them But we adoptees didn't, but we don't know how to unspool all of those ATGCs.

I always find it creepy when the PoV character is sexualizing their relatives, especially children or grandchildren... and the story is making it "romantic" "Normal" Don't care what your gender is as an author, but WT-? I cut out of a story after that. #amreading #WritingCommunity

'Rune' has a very specific meaning, which means the proto-Germanic written language. The reason Tolkien used the word was because he was literally using a proto-Germanic base and said as much. (Anglo Saxon for the nerds). Is your Other World Germanic? If not, don't use the word. #WritingCommunity

In case you missed it, GenAI v. not GenAI round up. We can get rid of GenAI scourge by working together as artists and writers by not using programs that scrape our work or support projects that support GenAI. Let your friends and family know. #Art #WritingCommunity www.tumblr.com/kimyoonmiaut...

So on are cis het people OK... I found out that cis het men like super muscular men, and that men don't like hyper feminine women. But gay men like muscular men. But then more testosterone is more likely to make you gay. So many questions. #queer #arethestraightsok

Art History class is starting off shaky... and I want to complain so hard about the insensitivity and inability for it to follow its own definitions of what art is. I feel so stabby.

I watched "Love Untangled" and I have to say that the Jeon hits hard on the giseungjeongyeol, but the overall story is sweet. It tastes like a cream puff with a caramel cage decoration on it a hint of chocolate bitterness on the inner shell with a really nice sweet vanilla center. #Korean #Kmovie

There's multiple reports that Google is trying to make human-made art look like it's made by GenAI on Youtube. So heads up. Shorts are being dubbed over with AI voices. And they are making an non-opt out weird "improvement" filter on current and past short videos. #Art #FuckGenAI

The fact that Wacom backs GenAI still confuses me. It would be like a horse and carriage company backing cars. It would be like a weaver backing automated looms. WHY? #Art

Climate Change might make it impossible for South Koreans to have kimchi 🍽️... And we're already growing them at the highest point in the country. More reason to not use GenAI. At the point that Koreans can't make Baechu Kimchi I'm going to be really, really sad. www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...

I finished a book, draft 1. Uneasy about the ending. But I have to let it rest and not touch it. I really hate this part. 8K over for world building? Super soft fantasy Romance, comedy of Manners, Historical. Probably loads more on historical info than the majority I read recently. #WritingCommunity

For my WIP I decided to totally mess with gender and biological sex. I'm not sure which of my books is more messing with it at this point, but the system I came up with isn't European-based. Also, I wanted to do better than the Left Hand of Darkness, which I felt was lacking in some ways.

What's common with the right wing US people, is that to understand and truly love something that is different from you takes time. With #GenAI they want the result without the process. What is shows is a lack of patience to try to enjoy the journey to get and be better. #Art #WritingCommunity

Good type works on negative, not positive space. Good writing also works on well arranged negative space. And this is why GenAI will always fail. If you don't understand this principle of literature, you need to read more modernists. #WritingCommunity

Knowing literature history has severely helped me to know where and how to pull writing advice. I'd go to the OGs before one goes for the hard of hearing (and sometimes misogynist) parrots. #WritingCommunity

همدلیThis means "empathy" in Persian (Farsi) Muslims don't eat ham or pork. The pronunciation is "Hamdeli" There is an interlingual pun somewhere in there...

Character is fighting me to narrate in first person. WHY? This would break rules. It's supposed to be first person, then third. But if I do this it would be third person then first. #WritingCommunity #AmWriting

I attempted to make up a name, and then found out that it's a name of a dessert. I wonder how much my subconscious is simply sweeping up words. ^^;; Some of the other "made up" names turned out to be food too. My (much longer title) writer's assistant would be teasing me right now. #WritingCommunity

English has a quirk where blonde with the e is for women. and blond without the e is for men. Now why English randomly chooses to obey the Normans is an entirely different question. #WritingCommunity

Primer on PoV (free): Voicy V. Unvoicy, omniscient, third, first and second and modulating close lens v. distant lens in each and how to modulate. And a study of why one would want to do so. Being able to spot the technique is useful for critiques too #WritingCommunity www.tumblr.com/kimyoonmiaut...

A fault of #fantasy #Worldbuilding is the idea that if you have a country, there is a land area for a certain ethnicity of people with no other ethnicities that can touch it or are regularly in it. But I kinda find that odd and steeped in 19th century racism too. #WritingCommunity

I'm trying to do some rapid world building, but trying to unscrew myself over by finding a place for a culture that's got a monsoon on my map. But since I can't figure out the calculation I'm taking a rough guess. *sighs* Trade routes and all that. #Wroldbuilding #WritingCommunity

There's a round of people going on about how great Newsom is. But I should remind the #Dems out there, that he promised to release his tax returns, then didn't. He is anti-trans. And he only turned on Trump after Trump sent ICE agents. He's not our guy. #Democrats

The most frivolous things I would do with a time machine: Travel to dead restaurants that no longer exist to try their food.
