I am ready for #ChaosPit !!!

The editors who are still employed right now are handling submission loads that would have been split across two or three people a few years ago.

Can confirm. When I'm asked how much can I lift, the answer is, "how angry am I?"

April Fool's Day is cancelled tomorrow. Keep your pranks to yourself because after 15 months of shenanigans, we're too tired. Think of it as March 32, if you must.

Whenever you feel like criticizing anyone, he told me, just remember that all the people in this world haven't had the advantages that you've had. ~ F. Scott Fitzgerald The Great Gatsby

SCOTUS ruled against authors and creators yesterday in Cox v. Sony, limiting our ability to hold internet providers accountable when they look the other way while piracy runs rampant on their networks.

*David Attenborough voice* After weeks of preparation, the Clover nest is finally complete. #catsofbluesky

I heard there was once a time that people actually cared if what they created was going to be used to harm people. Now I guess as long as they give someone a heads up, it's all fine. #fuckAI www.axios.com/2026/03/29/c...

I don't know who needs to hear this, but write the story and fix it later.

Slept in my Jordan Davis t-shirt and woke up with a short fuse.

I promise you there are no politics either in my romance where the MC is fighting to uphold the welfare policies of her kingdom, or in the fantasy where police are held to the highest standard of anyone. None at all.

If you go out today: 1. Turn OFF biometric unlock on your phone 2. Your side button can be set to open your camera to video 3. Be SAFE

I'm writing a book that's basically the written version of brain bleach. 😂 You're welcome.

One of the few good things about my garbage memory is I forget things and I get to be delighted by them all over again. I cackled when I found this this morning. I don't know when I stopped taking myself seriously, but it's definitely when I started having fun.

She will not be contained!!! (in the box she got into and can leave any time) #catsofbluesky

I find there is a lot of support when one would like to kvetch about how difficult reducing one's mass is, and very little when it comes to celebrating actually doing it. Anyway, here's a cat.

Quick question: Is it imposter syndrome if I think there aren't a lot of comments in a crit because it's just so egregiously terrible the critter gave up? Asking for a friend.

I think it says something about me that rather than paying some (bs) "takeout fee", I'll go into the restaurant and sit down to lunch. I would absolutely rather tip a server than pay for convenience.

People that think AI is a panacea are fucking exhausting bro. Get a goddamn grip, we are begging you

Pantsing, 100%.

I want every single airport employee, from air traffic control to the person emptying bathroom trash, to be well paid and satisfied with their jobs. JFC if there was ever essential work it's every single one of them.

Random thought: In high school we had to do some essay on Canterbury tales, and mine was about the nun who was just trying to mind her own damned business and the author was objectifying her.

I always trust a dog's judgement. Always.

I found some writing mojo! It was in a different folder. It's always in the last place you look. Because, yanno, you stop looking.

I don't know who needs to know this, but if you repost something to call attention to your account because you're asking for money, you're getting reported and blocked. Sorry to everyone who is not a scammer.

The most preciousest baby. #catsofbluesky

Absolutely not.

Pro-tip: you can't edit a blank page. Write your book!

I have a Cinderella retelling that I love, and I opened the folder to see if it would get me out of my writing slump. I'd forgotten about this #UnhingedPit post I did. Wow, do I love this story. #Cinderella #Fantasy

AI: fucks the planet causes brain atrophy causes psychosis tells people what they want to hear makes people stupid makes shit up is trained on stolen labour is stealing is being pushed on us by billionaires is yet another tool to silence and harass women is a steaming pile of horse shit

I try to reuse and upcycle as much as possible, but it looks like buying a new printer every time it runs out of ink will be more cost effective than new cartridges.

Someone once told me, You take care of people, because it helps heal the part of you that needed someone to take care of you.

Made homemade spaghetti for carbonara tonight. I feel like this is the origin story for macaroni and cheese.

My ladies? Bare naked.

The growing prevalence of AI in the industry and growing acceptance of it has killed my desire to write.

When Maine is plunged into an unprecedented cold snap, blame my ducks.

Me when a product doesn't come with a charger: Back in my day, companies gave us everything we needed to use the products! Me when the product comes with a charger: Why is this included? I can just use my phone charger.
