Yes I did wake up after 5 hours sleep and start writing a lit rpg after chatting about them last night. I'm not proud to fall into yet another project when I really need to focus, but I did use the phrase "deus ex-position" so at least I'm proud of one thing today.

The biography I'm reading is amazing, it's given me new insights on so many things. First and foremost that maybe men shouldn't be allowed to write biographies about women considered sex symbols.

After spending yesterday doing everything other than writing, I've written nearly 4000 words this morning. Sure I haven't done anything else I'm supposed to do today- but hey, word count progress baby!

Gotta love eco-friendly initiatives; after crunching the numbers, if I get my house wrapped, it'll take ~40 years to earn the cost back in savings. In 31 years I can apply for free home insulation upgrades for the elderly.

I'm proud to say that after a week of self imposed psychological torture I've sent a reply to my accountant. This follows eight months of self imposed psychological torment over how I need to file taxes but- not doing that. So my turnaround is improving.

While I want to clean up my gDrive I'm torn: What if I get murdered and a hot shot genius detective is on the case? He'll need the files to distinguish my character and find some killer foreshadowing. The document with the words "Agatha Christie". The spreadsheet containing only the number 175.

Ok folks, time to celebrate! I fully finished and submitted a short story to a competition. It's the first short story I've written in years let alone edited, reviewed, finished and submitted. Massive success 💃

Honestly a diamond is a brilliant comparison for an NFT. It's a shiny rock that a bunch of people who owned shiny rocks spent millions to convince you was important and therefore worth lots of money. NFTs just failed their marketing campaign. And they're not shiny.

I regret to inform you that if you prep and plot using record cards but plan to write on a computer, there is a mandatory "move all this crap to the computer stage" and you'll feel like your brain is melting out of your ears with boredom.

My schedule isn't a mess, it's simply filled with Chekhov's tasks. At some point they will be completed, but no one knows when or how, and it's a source of endless internal drama.

How was the hike? Well we went up a mountain, then down a mountain, then I delivered a two hour lecture on magical realism, the line between subtextual coherence and overt dialogue, and developing audience buy in for justified retribution in movies. So, y'know, the usual.

🔇 🔇 🔇 My book, Deep Unlearning, is now available for preorders! I don't know how people write so many books because this one took a lot out of me. It turns out, I had a lot to say 😂, with editors cutting out 50k of my words 🫣 ✴️ You can now preorder it at www.simonandschuster.com/books/Deep-U....

Cover of my new book, Deep Unlearning: The Rise of AI and The Radicalization of a Tech Idealist.

There are two concentric circles in the book, the left being circuits in black an white, and the right being a bunch of dots with orange accents. The cover background is cream. And the words are written in black except for "Un" which is in orange.

After 20 minutes trying to get a government website to accept a phone number, I've decided it'll be easier to spend Monday travelling to the in-person office, waiting for an unbookable appointment, and discussing it in person. I can't even be angry about it, it's too ridiculous.

Now that we've experienced it, can we all agree the eclipse is a scam by fossil fuel companies to make us lose faith in solar power? Like, sure, the sun "went out" and I'm "not allowed to look at it" to prove it.

Jen @jenuinepanic.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

Solar eclipses aren't that memorable, seriously, I looked directly at the one in 1999 and I don't remember anything about it! I do, however, remember the months I spent in and out of the hospital afterwards cause I scorched my retinas and nearly went blind. 🫠

We're all past the talking stage with climate change, let's get down to it and start making steps to fix it. I've crunched the numbers and - using mainly screwfix supplies- it would cost ~78.5million EUR* to install a sprinkler system across the entire Wicklow Mountains.

I was so chuffed this morning when I wrote 1000 top tier words for a short story. Unfortunately now I can't sleep cause I'm busy thinking "yeah but what's it actually about?" on repeat. I foresee this being very helpful and not at all a hindrance to further writing tomorrow. 🫠

It's only on reflection that I realised when practicing manually focusing on a distant object behind an obstacle, choosing the fastest land animal in the world as a subject might not have been the best idea. But hey! some of them are actually almost in focus!

Etymology is amazing, like you can tell the Tyrannosaurus Rex is extinct purely from the name. If it was still around, it'd be called the Tyrunnosaurus Rex.

In every task in life you have the ability to be 100% responsible. This 100% is spread across the composite actions of the task. Today I decided to wear anti-tick spray for going to a park which pushed the overall task above 100% responsible.

I've just finished In Search of Now by Jo Marchant and it might be my favourite non-fiction book of the year. I rarely go for books with so much physics / quantum physics in it but this was great. It never got lost in the maths, and always tied back to the core concept of reality/ now.
