Hot take: tech companies should stop investing in AI and instead focus on making their base products work*. *design products that don’t trigger rage when trying to accomplish what should be a straightforward task. Thank you for coming to my TEDtalk. Lookin’ at you Word. #ai #tech #worksmarter

One day I will learn to stop using acronyms when texting my mom. It is never the time saver I imagine it will be.

But Eira had never seen a fae, and as far as she was aware, they only existed in bedtime stories. Tucked between thick pages and dried ink, the biggest threat they posed was heavy eyelids, hungry for sleep." "featured in not your ever after" "coming November 6th"

At least I’d have time to study the flowers. After all, I’d risked everything to do so—my family, my career, my future. The letter my dad had written to me felt like fire in my pocket. I pulled it out and unfolded it once more. It had only been in my possession for two days, but it was worn and wrinkled from the dozens of times I had read it.

“Your cloak, Sister,” Leonora whispered in the moonlight. She smoothed the invisible fabric over Berenice’s petite frame, blotting the girl from view under its ephemeral gauze. “Hold it closed, here.”

The child balled her fists around the seams, securing the two halves of the cloak together, and lowered her freckled face beneath the billowing hood. It was as though the night had eaten her. Yet Leonora could sense Berenice there, feel her younger sibling’s warmth as she turned to
follow their unseen sisters into the wood.
