2026: “Right, we need to get everyone trained up in AI and get AI running everything. It’s more cost effective and faster.” 2029: “Right, we need to hire people whose brains aren’t rotted by AI because our entire workforce has become incompetent of doing basic tasks and has no critical thinking.”

Meh I’m ignoring that BS. Only reason AI uses it is cos it stole from us 🤷‍♀️

I fear I’ve author-humoured so hard this does a full circle back into being not funny again.
The meme where that guy is looking at another woman on the street and his girlfriend looks annoyed but Rory Michaelson’s head is badly photoshopped onto the guy and they’re looking at a semicolon while their em dash girlfriend looks annoyed

In case it was unclear, suggesting that anyone with a disability needs gen AI to do amazing art is, in and of itself, incredibly ableist. Do not spit on those who have found innumerable ways of making art without stealing from others and polluting the planet. It is disgusting to suggest as much.

I don’t think people who’ve not been through it appreciate how much autistic masking not only burns you out but closes you away from the world around you and makes your life incredibly numb and lonely.

Picked up God of War on a sale a while back, and played a little today. Let me tell you this game is hard on those of us with Daddy issues.

Being forced into an inactive role in a life changing situation is ‘waiting mode’ hell. I’ve been through times where I’ve felt like it’s sucked the joy out of writing and for me, or even ended me as an author—BUT, I’m now drafting more books and have been falling in love with writing again 💚

Being autistic and having ADHD, I frequently explain to people that I’m always balancing between being overstimulated and understimulated. This morning I realised that it aligns with an emotional issue, too. I always feel like I’m either ‘too much’ or ‘not enough’.

Prime Ministers resign in some level of disgrace or meander off to quieter expensive pastures—the transient nature of the post and proximity to powerful sources of corruption just make it a get rich while your hands are on the wheel trip. We need visible accountability.

I feel like we should do writing community group project where we create a series of videos, shorts, and resources showing just how profoundly shit GenAI is. We can call it ‘Authorial Intelligence.’

Funny thing about being an elder millennial: sometimes you feel really old and your knees barely work, but other times you remember that all you’d need to blow Gen Z’s minds is a shot of tequila, a couple of glow sticks, some flashing lights, and the right song because 20 years would just evaporate.

I thought it was worth doing a video on how GenAI melts your brain as a writer, even if you're telling yourself you're only using it for some of the "boring bits". youtu.be/9_4x1ExxMO0

What first attracts rich and powerful figures deeply entrenched with corruption, sexual abuse, and discriminatory practices to putting crosshairs on vulnerable minorities to distract from their despicable conduct?

It also doesn’t help that we ran out of peanut butter and I have peanut butter on apple every single morning as my pre-gym snack and that feels like a fucking catastrophe 🫪

It’s also frustrating that I LOVE food, but food seems to also be one of my biggest triggers. When we’re on holiday and he goes scuba diving I legit won’t go and eat at a cafe or restaurant cos I just can’t navigate it alone.

Okay yes I got into a state because I didn’t know what to eat while I’m home in the evening alone but now I have been rescued by safe food (plain pasta). What’s frustrating is that this will upset my fiance because he’ll feel responsible for my day crashing out but it’s not his fault at all 🫩

Today’s meltdown brought to you by: my fiance worked from home instead of going to work and everything changed because I was going to get a takeaway alone for dinner but we had lunch together and now I’m not really hungry so don’t want a takeaway but am also a bit hungry and don’t know what to do.

Had a super productive Friday planned, but then by fiancé changed his shift to work from home so that’s the entire day written off for some reason not clear to me about how my brain works…

If you don’t know how to ask a cat permission to pet them, I’m not explaining it to you. This knowledge means nothing if told, and can only be directly learned via gentle and curious exposure to exceedingly wary felines.

Just me out for a walk on my own coming across a cat laying on the path in the allotment. I ask him how his day is and if he’s enjoying the sun and he miaows at me, I get his permission to gently pet his head and we are now friends. I thank him for letting me pet him and we both go about our days.

Everyone thinks London is all cool and metropolitan and functional, but in reality I just had to pay for a taxi to get home from my shift because they closed the tube line at the same time as having a bus strike…
