UBI would turn our society into a cultural powerhouse. i can't even begin to describe how creatively freeing it would be. i would make *so many* games. i would write *so many* novels.

Writing a book isn't about competition, it isn't about winning or getting rich, it's about sitting down with your fucked-up thoughts and weird ideas and putting them on paper to traumatize people who read them. AI will never get that part right.

Hey everyone! Huge news! Our trans girl scout list has sold a total of 146,000 boxes as of today! But MANY trans girl scouts only have 20, 30, 40 boxes sold. I just resorted our list to put those on the top. Go get your girl scout cookies and make a trans kid's day!

Marco has been trying to avoid a key part of Jolene's situation: in order to be reincarnated, you have to die first ... (ft. "your birthmarks show fatal injuries in a past life" folklore)

I don't have any "academy", but I did just write this scene discussing college π€ Jolene arguably got everything she wanted at the start of her story, but she can't *enjoy* any of it because she needs to pretend to be someone else.

(a little late on this one, I was mostly offline yesterday for the strike) I still need to tweak this whole subplot so it's not so ... *obvious* commentary on some experiences, but man it's cathartic to draft.

My wip features phoenixes, humans that gain the ability to make demonic deals with others in exchange for selling their souls. And they also reincarnate rather than reaching an afterlife. I still haven't worked out a lot of the details though ...

I checked my wip + 2 projects waiting for revisions, and this is the only one I could find that's not "committee" or "noncommittal". In 200k+ of words!
