True not just in publishing/writing. Look at how this new Meta Muse basically jumps into the user's shit, mixes it around, gets it everywhere. Shares their address. Lies to their contacts. Sells their stuff at a low price. Do not let the vampire in. Hang garlic. Sharpen stakes.

wasn’t having a great yesterday but the kid in the dressing rooms interrupting her “la la la” song to intermittently announce “hey! I’m naked here, buddy!” helped the vibes quite a bit

I hope I have the AI Skeptic tag On Here. In fact it needs to go further: I am an AI hater because the people making and selling it have no regard for people, labor, or the humanity in creativity and therefore the product is dangerous.

12 Indigenous children are coming home from Carlisle. Frances Bones was 14—a Comanche chief's daughter. A doctor called her healthy the week she arrived. She was dead in six months. The Comanche Nation has waited 130 years to bring her home. www.kosu.org/boarding-sch...

have reached the point in my writers block where I consider rebooting old blog features in hopes of tricking myself into writing. (this is not a cry for help but it probably should be.) (do not let me start a weekly writing prompt.) (do NOT let me start a daily one.)

- didn’t take assault seriously enough (book is informed by my own assault) - I tried too hard to sound young by making up terms like StuCo (something local HS student council had on their t-shirts) - kids in Arkansas don’t really say y’all (at least according to a NY editor)

This. TBC, the reason my family won't support anything HP-related is NOT because I have some grand moral view that it's only acceptable to support work created by good people. It's because she is literally, publicly using the $ from her books/show/games/etc to do bad things that hurt people I love.

I agree. People are talking about all the issues we're facing in the world, especially those directly impacted. The issue is visibility but also visibility does not equate change or even care. Visibility can be just as harmful as invisibility, especially for marginalized communities.

one moved up the ranks from public school teacher to administration, was ABD on a finance PhD, & served in the reserves; the other started in pre-legal NDN gaming & ended up a casino pit boss. weird to grow up with one proud (I went to college) & one not (I never learned to deal or count cards.)
