I was looking for something else to read, and so far this first book is scratching an itch I didn't know I had 😁

Woke up this morning to a rejection that doesn't name the piece from a publisher I have no record of submitting to. The mystery is afoot 😅

I remember Anthony Trollope totally spoiling the big reveal of some other book written like 50 years prior while going off about people complaining about his storytelling style 😂

How does no one seem to understand what the actual truth is: the event is political reward for the amount of sports washing and image rehab UFC did for Trump after Jan 6 and then helping to return him to power? There is no other story here. That’s the story. Everything else is just noise.

Me last Thursday: I'll prep these few things on Sunday to make my week easy 😚 Me Sunday: Screw it, I don't feel like doing anything today 😒 Me today: OMG I don't have time tomorrow morning to make the breakfast I want 'cause I didn't do the Sunday prep 😭 If I could punch past me in the face... 🤦

So when I woke up this morning, my husband confessed to accidentally eating my onigiri last night when he was feeling snack-y. Considering mine had umeboshi in them and he hates anything sour/pickled, I feel like that first bite was punishment enough 😂😂

Every now and then, I find myself reminiscing and marveling over the dude I met in BMT who had the entire Eggman pissing on the moon meme completely memorized. Like he wrote it all out on a notebook page for me 😂

Was able to afford to try these Chao Tomato Cayenne slices (vegan, not cheese) thanks to Grocery Outlet having them on the cheap, and they may be one of the tastiest sliced food items I've had on a wrap or sandwich 🤤

Had a piece of popcorn stuck between my back teeth, and after 5 minutes of trying to dislodge it post movie, I passed a discarded flosser in the parking lot, and upon seriously considering picking it up and using it, said teeth decided to yeet it on their own 🤣

Anyway, allow me to suggest that the response to "Golden Age" authors regarding the current iteration of "AI" would be, at best, "nice tech, where's my fucking money?" I'm pretty sure they wouldn't be upset at any of us for our current set of positions. Rather the opposite. And now, here's a cat.

I tell everyone, especially with rising grocery prices, if you have a Grocery Outlet in your area it's a lifesaver. Some weeks are hit or miss, and it helps if you're flexible with what foods you eat but when I tell you I save almost $200 every week. Like this week, 18oz blackberries for $1.50

Hearing about the proliferation of AI in judging legal cases, I had a sudden flash of Kafka's "The Trial" which is also a hell of an Anthony Perkins showcase as a film, if you've never seen it.

Due to the current lack of AC on the 3rd floor (self imposed because I refuse to lose window access until June), I am making the bold and dangerous choice to write in the living room where I'm only a dining room away from the salty snacks 😬 #writing

While it's true that I read very fast and don't retain shit, I have also read books very slowly, stayed engaged, took detailed notes on paper on every chapter, and also didn't remember shit about the book. Checkmate 😤 Also, why are you like this, brain 😫

And speaking of @horrificscribs.bsky.social There are so many incredible little touches put into it like the scene breaks in stories being a severed hand holding a broken pencil, to the art, to the exhaustive author database, you can really tell how much of a labor of love it is! Highly recommend 💝

if i was going to give a college commencement speech i would make sure to start with something the students could rally behind. something like "we will mechanically suck the youth from your bones to feed a mechanical eschaton, which my generation will use to climb heaven and become new gods"
