For as long as I have been writing, I have met people looking for someone else to do the work for them. They want to call themselves writers but they don't want to put the time and effort in, just boom! Instant book. Those are the people who went straight to AI. Losers and cheats.

Just in time for spooky-reading season, 'Dead Weight' offers a chilling tale of female rage
Hildur Knutsdottir's new novel opens with a killer opening line: “I have thought long and hard about how I would dispose of a dead body.”

what a strange coincidence that every woman has friends who have been sexually assaulted (and quite possibly has been herself) and no man seems to be friends with any rapists!

@hildur.bsky.social Dead Weight was on sale on Kindle last night and I just tore through it! Loved it! Was very scared for the kitten in that one scene but thankfully everything worked out! Looking forward to future translations, this was even better than Night Guest imo!

For 9 years this cat has attempted to get me to feed him at 4 am every day and for 9 years he has not succeeded one time and his only takeaway has been well it's certainly not happening if I don't try again, and I'm starting to find him quite inspirational

Told my teenage daughter that I went to FOUR stores yesterday dressed in these leggings and I think no one has ever been more embarrassed on my behalf in my life.

you shouldn’t learn about bands from shady TikTok manipulation, you should learn about bands by hanging out with a girl you like but are also extremely afraid of

No reason, but I was thinking this AM of that time in 2024 when I was invited to IcelandNoir and within a 24-hour period, I watched a volcano erupt, spoke with Dr. Noir and @hildur.bsky.social in a lovely church, & saw the aurora borealis from my hotel balcony. I miss days like that. #travelsky

Þessi fjölgun útkalla er ekki vísbending um breyttar aðstæður í samfélaginu. Lögreglan ákvað fyrir nokkrum árum að breyta ferlum hjá sér og kallar núna til sérsveitina í hin og þessi verkefni, sem hafa nákvæmlega enga þörf fyrir vélbyssur og kíkisriffla. Þetta er útpæld bakdyraleið til vopnvæðingar.

Fjöldi vopnaútkalla sjöfaldaðist en mönnun stendur í stað - RÚV.is
Sérsveitin sinnti 474 vopnaútköllum í fyrra. Það er sjöföldun frá 2014, en mönnun hefur nánast staðið í stað frá 2008, að því er fram kemur í nýrri greiningu.

There is a cupboard in the new flat that has been painted shut, we tried to pry it open yesterday and we couldn’t and now I’m thinking we should just never open it so I can live in the fantasy that there is something inside it that should never be let out.

I was woken up by raindrops coming in through the window and hitting my face. Horizontal rain is an Icelandic specialty.

Autism has arrived!
Photo of Orange cat looking at a lake in Autumn with orange leaves fallen all about it's finally autism
It reads "it's finally Autism"
Context: this is a conflate Autism and Autumn meme made by honest but it's being used to say it's April, the Autism acceptance month
