Thank you! Now if only I wasn’t so slow about it.

I think if that happens, Jan 6 will look tame.

The only chance to get the bastards in D.C. investigated and held accountable is by showing up in such big numbers in November they can’t deny the count. “Too Big to Rig.“ Make it happen.

American Pastoral. I got tired of waiting on hold for it at the library. 🤣

Today’s book mail. Some women collect shoes, some collect husbands. I like my choices.

Frankly, this platform is where social media posts that can’t be shared elsewhere because they’d mess up engagement come to die.

Have you noticed all the bot accounts creeping in? The place blows.

Really getting tired of being governed by the “it’s easier to appeal than follow the law” administration.

“Welp.” I sit at my desk and slap both thighs with my hands. “This world-changing novel isn’t going to write itself. I’m not going to write it, either, but why not spend another morning pretending otherwise?”

I hate the short text limit here.

Kind of weird how just a dozen years ago the US would tell us that China was bad due to global aggression, violent suppression of dissent, governmental corruption, mass surveillance, currency manipulation, theft of intellectual property, dangerous manufacturing practices, unregulated food supplies, a housing crisis, government-controlled media, suppression of free speech, expensive healthcare leading to riots, widespread poverty…

That you’ve gone back at all is a huge step and I’m sure he‘s proud of you!

My dad was diagnosed with advanced pancreatic cancer last month. Today I got to tell him that I’m getting published. He knows why I had to stop writing 32 years ago, and how hard it’s been trying to find my voice again. You’re never too old to make your parents proud.

Unpopular but true: if you refuse to click through links and read the actual article, you have no one but yourself to blame for having misinformed, skewered opinions spread thin over a vast chasm of ignorance.

I’m curious! Where do we sign up?

Not surprisingly, this particular sub read like AI. Shocker.

As a reader for a couple of lit journals, may I also add that using a single name as an author (especially if you use numbers in the spelling) is not the power move you think it is.

Katherine Argent @katherineargent.com · 13/08/2026

I may need to do that with all the spider plants. They’re looking rough.

Katherine Argent @katherineargent.com · 13/08/2026

Friend said “Oh, those little bugs were from my plants? I thought they were getting into my house through the screens.” This is how many were in my place after just a couple of days. I pity the people moving into her place! 🤣

Just got my first-ever short story acceptance. I’ve been wrestling with this story (and my voice) for a couple months. New end came to me last night in my sleep so I rewrote it and @doricliterary.bsky.social accepted it this evening with a tentative publish date of 12/1. So grateful and thrilled!

We are now at the point in the heatwave when they’re teasing us with promises of relief Thursday… no, Friday… ope, maybe Saturday now. It’s making me extra cranky and I wasn’t very pleasant to start with.

Kinda weird how the “fight, fight, fight” guy cowered in a catering cart when there weren’t cameras around.

Katherine Argent @katherineargent.com · 12/08/2026

Putting your craft first. That‘s a definite win!

Always said I’ll know it’s time to remarry when I meet a man with a rolling ladder in his home library.

This is exactly how it feels. 🤣

Katherine Argent @katherineargent.com · 12/08/2026

Slight reduction in the infestation today. I’ve got blue light traps in two spots, plus sticky traps in every plant, and did a hydrogen peroxide flush of each pot. Still feeling pestered.

The authors using (and denying they use) AI will have them to you within the week.

Katherine Argent @katherineargent.com · 11/08/2026

Normalize muting or unfollowing the accounts of people who can’t tell the damn difference between actual writing and AI, especially when they claim to be writers. And sorry, but a sexy author photo and sob story don’t overcome all the signs + multiple 100% AI scores on Pangram.

Katherine Argent @katherineargent.com · 11/08/2026

And thank you for the beautiful start to the day.

HAH! I expect to hear from her later today when she reaches her destination. I‘m curious to know if she was aware of the gnats at all.

020

Katherine Argent @katherineargent.com · 11/08/2026

Thanks, me too. They’re everywhere. I’ve never seen anything like this.

030

Katherine Argent @katherineargent.com · 11/08/2026

Wish I could but my apartment doesn’t have a balcony. I’m letting them dry out until they’re almost dead. Maybe that’ll do it?

He couldn’t fit in a catering cart and we all know it.

Katherine Argent @katherineargent.com · 11/08/2026

They’re like fruit flies but they hang out and breed in plant soil and damp areas. And the vinegar traps do nothing about them. Blue light attracts them, so every time I use my phone or computer I’m swarmed. Sticky traps caught hundreds today. Hundreds!!! They’re EVIL!

Katherine Argent @katherineargent.com · 11/08/2026

Also, had to explain to another friend that the red mark on my face is from me slapping at one of these little f@-$kers that flew at my eyes.

050

Katherine Argent @katherineargent.com · 11/08/2026

Friend is traveling for an year and gifted me her houseplants. Three days later, they gifted me a fungus gnat infestation. I’ve never seen anything like this in my life. It’s a constant onslaught! Picking up sticky traps, blue light traps & gallons of hydrogen peroxide tomorrow. My god.

Hm. Did he insure the country, because that would explain a lot.

You just know he’s using Meta AI to write for him.

You aren’t mad enough about AI. Employers are using AI to compile your personal data (credit score, browsing data, social media posts) to find out the lowest salary you’ll accept. www.marketwatch.com/story/employ...
