Persona persona personaaaaaaaa

I begrudgingly signed up for a camping trip with friends, even though I do not enjoy camping... but the trip got rained out and now we're going to a SEAFOOD RESTAURANT INSTEAD This is the BEST CASE SCENARIO

New to the library: we've digitized the complete run of Neopets The Official Magazine. Yes, Neopets! It's important game history, and here's why:

My mother once said she would support me in my dreams of anything except for being an accountant. So if you ever see me getting a Masters in Taxation that means I've gone full rebel

Have a safe and happy Pride, friends! And, as ever:

Gift link to the NYT summary of “Magnifica Humanitas,” Pope Leo’s encyclical on A.I. and humanity, and here are some extra significant bits that have to do with labor and the dignity of the worker www.nytimes.com/2026/05/25/w...

I was driving around in my real-life car in Forza but then I got a lil scratch on it so now I'm back to terrorizing the streets of Tokyo in a Toyota corolla

Forza Horizon 6 is my favorite anime

I found my eye doctor on BlinkedIn

I'm too tired to care about video games right now

Being a YA author is super hard mode for some reason and I can't figure out why

The sad part about character development is getting your characters to say stuff you wholeheartedly don't believe in so their circumstances and experiences can prove them wrong and they can grow

we are the daughters of the funkos you couldn't pop

Not to say something entirely apropo of my age group, social class, economic class, and various other demographics but: the sake at Trader Joe's is pretty good

I have been carrying the emotional baggage of my characters for months as I finished this draft but now I am WEIGHTLESS, I am SOARING, I wrote a good book that is going to spear someone through the heart and speak to their soul!!!

An empty piece of paper or a Word document is intimidating. An empty .txt file is full of possibilities

This kind of mixed use urban planning is illegal in America

Night in the Woods X FANGIRL After a rejection from her dream college, a high-achieving freshman navigates friendships, failure, and game development at her safety school, all while clinging to her dream of transferring to a prestigious university to be with her best friend. #QuestPit #Q #YA

In a world where "AI" submissions are a plague, human-written stories are the cure for an editor's breaking heart. Don't let the flood discourage you from sending your work out there. You are better, no what the hype of the moment says. We want your stories. Not the slop-infested noise.

I love beta reading manuscripts for my fellow writers but since the work isn't published yet, I don't get credit towards my reading goals even though I just spent the last three days doing literally nothing but reading. This is a petty issue but also I want the satisfaction of number go up

Wired headphones are the symbol of the proletariat

Am I afraid of change? Or are all the changes just stupid and bad?

The astronauts already went to bed and are going to get 8 and a half hours of sleep tonight, and here I am on Earth, still on my phone...

Gonna convince Matt we should have sweet and sour chicken with spicy green beans for dinner because that's what the astronauts are having and meals are better when you eat them together

Thanks to the hard work of the Artemis II crew and the support staff, we will finally learn what happens when the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie

There are astronauts up there and I'm making pizza. The variety of human experience is immense and beautiful

Being sick on a day off is such a ripoff

The things I felt when I realized this was the Earth and not the Moon

i'm sorry but the moon is a complete boondoggle that should never have been put up there in the first place. we still have to send repair missions up there a hundred-plus years later all because taft was trailing in the polls and decided to learn magick. i don't know why he thought it would help him

*last night, looking up at the moon* Good, good. It's almost full. That will help the astronauts see where they are going. All part of the plan, I'm sure

I don't know why I was so anti-smoothie all these years. My fridge is so full of like, one of each vegetable, now it's all a smoothie. Done. Delicious

So the AI company who stole all of of books and now has to pay us what is really a small amount of money went about ti by AI coding the backend of their claim system, which scraped up data in clumps and spits out new numbers all the time because...it is AI coded. Anthropic: Nailing It.

Why do people post comments on recipes online with, "Sure, you could waste your time with this garbage, or you could do it my way:" and then describe the assembly of a completely different meal

Getting new glasses is fun but also suuuuucks

They should remake Dinotopia

Writers, you can use an em dash. Its ok. People won't think you're AI. I received an email that used twenty across three paragraphs. THAT was AI. You can have one as a treat every once in a while.

Amazing what turning off your computer for 3 hours can do for burnout

My partner just got into baking bread and I finally understand why so many people read The Hunger Games and were Team Peeta

Searching for yoga videos on YouTube with "no commentary" makes me feel like I'm looking up Vinyasa Let's Plays

We should bring back 5 minute smoke breaks (5 mins to restart my computer because it is smoking)

I'm at the library and a woman next to me is using the Internet to buy a book off Amazon. Ma'am. The book is here. It is free. You are at the LIBRARY

Everything is being corrupted by a single Silicon Valley belief: that for every question there's a correct answer. Life isn't meant to be enjoyed, but "won." Turn your food into nutrient paste, inject yourself with illegal proteins, and finish the marathon by taking a taxi.

it's snowing outside :)

I finally sat down and wrote an arrangement I'd wanted to write for MONTHS and my stupid computer rewarded me by not saving ANY OF IT

I dressed like Diana Taverner at work today to channel some girlboss energy but instead I'm filled with barely-concealed rage and plans for world domination

Poor Eric

"I do not believe in technodeterminism" has become my mantra this week

I want to thank Ilia Malinin, on behalf of all NOVA kids, for finally doing what every NOVA kid aspires to do, but rarely achieves: being the center of the universe
