Did I start going to a live weekly writing group at a coffee shop solely so I can have a third party witness to me typing into a document and not copying from prompts? No, but I'm not going to say it wasn't one consideration.

I'm friendly with horror writers. I don't read horror due to past traumas making it an unhealthy form of entertainment for me. I can still be friends with them and talk to them about their work.

Let's not just gloss over the fact that a sitting vice president should not be out on book tour. Like, I know there are a billion other legal and ethical issues to deal with before that one gets to the top of the pile with this administration, but it's still crazy.

Just heard a developer speaking about AWS's AI efforts and described it as a "the perpetual motion machine of incompetence" and that's so perfect and beautiful.

This judge is so tired 😂

The Court has personally read every word of the four Wolff books and the six Freeman
drafts and nine sets of notes at issue in this case. That was a lot of reading. Each of Freeman’s first
five drafts is approximately 450 double spaced pages long. The sixth (Masqued 2016) is 108 pages
long; it appears to be incomplete. There are approximately 55 additional pages of notes, variously
single and double spaced. Each of Wolff’s four novels is about 650 pages long, but that number is
highly misleading because, with each successive volume, the print and the margins on each page
get smaller and the line spacing gets closer. When Wolff’s works are normed for changes in print
and margin sizes, they easily exceed 3000 pages – which means the Court has read upwards of
6000 pages of romantasy fiction.

I have discovered a hack for getting Dutch doctors to immediately take action on treating the condition you're seeing them for instead of kicking the can down the road. Compare them to the United States medical system. They HAAAAATE hearing that.

Dunno why I never thought of this, but the reason why self driving car companies do their "testing" out West is because there's less weather variability! Testing on public streets with people's lives at risk shouldn't be allowed, but... here we are.

When my grandpa was dying, his lungs had begun failing and he had refused supplemental oxygen. He just wanted to pass without interventions, so we instructed the medical staff to extubate him and were prepared for him to struggle to breathe and not be able to oxygenate himself.

I went to go see Pride and Prejudice at the local cinema tonight and the audience was hilarious. There were so many chuckles, loud sighs at just the right moment (you know the one), yelling "KISS!" at a few key points! And the lady next to me gave me a Giradelli chocolate she brought with her!

In the past few days, participating in discussions online about policies being pushed in Indiana by religious zealots that I don't agree with and JK Rowling being awful, I've been assumed to be Latina (I'm not) and trans (I'm not). Bigots don't even know what they're mad about.

Ableism is so pervasive & normalized that we have so called leftists attacking disabled people for being unable to protest. Telling them the stakes are “too high to stay home” These same people do nothing to make protests accessible. There can’t be social justice without disability justice

At the doctor's office yesterday and told the nurse I didn't need to schedule a follow up appointment because I was moving away to the Netherlands and she asked me why. I said, "because we don't like it here anymore." It hurt to say it out loud, but it felt so deeply true.
