Excellent thread! There *are* rewards for being A Good Guy Who Speaks Up even if they are not immediately obvious or publicly bestowed. First, integrity is its own reward. Maybe you didn’t save the world or change hearts & minds. But if you held the line on not making it worse, that’s something.

"760,000" "fraudulent" enrollees of the ACA are being removed to save $2 billion. Which is the cost of one god damn day of the war in Iran. Sorry, the peace action. The self-own closing of the Straight of Hormuz. The entire GOP is a sociopathic cult. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

I am almost done with edits of my first book: “My Side of the Car.” It’s collection of stories from my childhood (and adulthood) to celebrate and honor the life of my brother. I’ll be selling it to raise money for cancer research. Watch this space!

This was my first in person con. As a barely published author I felt very imposter-y. But I made a point of going up to people who asked for help, and responding to people who asked me for help. Very difficult for this introvert, but I found some people there. Now to follow through!

I'm sure most Canadians are grateful for the "Buy Canadian," and "visit Canada" sentiment some Americans are extolling. But the very best thing—for Americans, Canadians, and the world—is to mobilize and organize and defeat this fascist regime.

ChatGPT not letting you emulate specific authors anymore
Prompting
Join
I've been writing my book for several months now, paid for a more advanced model. Took a break. Came back.
Now Ms. GPT says she can't generate content in the style of specific authors. My prompts were soooo specific and I got exactly what I wanted out of them. For example,
'rewrite in the literary style of 'author here' with abundant dialogue and detail avoiding staccato prose. That was my go-to. Or 'please write and flesh out in the style of
'author' etc. they tightened the ropes. I have no idea how to get around this other than maybe feed it prose I already edited that's technically mine? Fuck.

We’ve had our dog for a year today! His full name is “Indy; short for Harrison Ford, aka Indiana Bones Johnson.” I printed him a hat and he had a pup patty from in-n-out.

Our dog wearing a red collar and a fancy 3d printed top hat with his name “indy” written on it.
