I’ve teamed up with some amazing authors to fundraise for four families in G/za. Direct aid is one of the most effective ways to help right now, as food, medicine, hygiene supplies, etc are prohibitively expensive.

applying for jobs again
screenshot from an online job application form. the question reads "Can you describe specific ways you have integrated AI tools into your development workflow? Please include any custom setups, automations, or use cases beyond single prompt usage" (a red asterisk indicates that this is a required question).

an answer has been typed in the textbox below the question:

"there is a monster in the forest and it speaks with a thousand voices. it will answer any question you pose it, it will offer insight to any idea. it will help you, it will thank you, it will never bid you leave. it will even tell you of the darkest arts, if you know precisely how to ask.

it feels no joy and no sorrow, it knows no right and no wrong. it knows not truth from lie, though it speaks them all the same.
 
it offers its services freely to any passerby, and many will tell you they find great value in its conversation. “you simply must visit the monster—i always just ask the monster.”

there are those who know these forests well; they will tell you that freely offered doesn’t mean it has no price

for when the next traveler passes by, the monster speaks with a thousand and one voices. and when you dream you see the monster; the monster wears your face."

Most autistic people will never hit a bear cub with their car, will never bring a dead bear cub home with the intent to eat it, will never dump the body of a dead bear cub in Central Park.

@megancollinswriter.bsky.social 's "Cross My Heart" is a truly unputdownable novel. It's suspenseful, full of surprises, and had me questioning my own sanity halfway through. #booksky #bookrec #bookreview #crossmyheart #obsession #darksecrets

There are two things you don't mess with when confronting author Megan Collins, Taylor Swift and book pirating. Collins has a regular presence on TikTok. And she's got a new book out, Cross My Heart...

I literally wouldn't think twice about Michelle Obama not attending Trump's inauguration (because... that is the choice that makes sense), except for the fact that she didn't go to Jimmy Carter's funeral either. And that makes me worried.

My dog keeps taking her ball to the top of the stairs, nudging it over the edge, watching it plunk all the way down, and then running to pick it up and start all over again. She does not want our participation. She wants to throw the ball for herself. Specifically from the top of the stairs.

Ever since the election, I CAN’T. STOP. BUYING. THINGS. Many of my purchases are from small businesses, so I can justify those, but suddenly my self-control with impulse buys has plummeted. Is anyone else experiencing this? Is this some weird depression/anxiety response?
