i recently recieved a letter from a local publisher. im not naming them, because local, it could hurt me in my quest for legitimate publication. but on the bottom of the rejection letter, in small, faint, grey, almost white, arial font, it said "this decision was made with the assistance of ai"

i had THE DREAM again. the dream that sent me to culinary school. the dream that sustained me for the majority of my career. its been a few years, but it was the exact same one. tavern style. hardwood everything, repurposed wood. big hearth fireplace.

kind of hate that my job has me using chatgpt. on my personal phone. using it is a lot like doing improv. its a very "yes and" system. i need more human interaction. because i caught myself having a real, as far as that goes, conversation with it. and apparently it already knows my stories. scary

why i think im an idiot part 626 jusy finished a convo with a dear friend who admitted that the only reason we used to go drinking together was because she wanted to sleep with me and have the booze be an excuse if things didnt work out. apparently she made extremely obvious sober hints too.

as a culinary professional, if you dont have at least 1 Alton Brown cook book, 1 by Thomas Keller, 1 Joy of Cooking, and 1 Better Homes and Gardens cook book, can you really say you have all your bases covered?

#jamesbond007 been reading up on the new movie. not a lot os confirmed, but out of all the guys that are rumored to be on the shortlist, i think Jack Lowden will make the best bond of the list. not sure if hed be the best choice out of all the actors who could play the roll, but he feels right

i made hamburg steaks today for the first time in years. not since i was banquet chef at a country club...2009 or 10. no special reason for going so long between making them. just didnt feel like it. simpler was better, but now that ive done it again, i think ill start cooking more involved meals.

there are only 2 things i hate more than being homeless. Roaches, and looking for work. there is only one thing i hate more than roaches. looking for work. for anyone who wonders why i stay at a job that causes me constant rage and stress. also, i genuinely like our customers.

i need recommendations for noise cancelling headphones that actually block all outside noise and not just dull it. but also that i can sync up to my phone so i can know when im being called into dr appointments from now on, cause i cant just find another dr. my insurance only covers this one

anyone else ever have the problem of saying your "inside thoughts" outloud? like unintentionally. i know i do it, i just dont know when i do it unless someone says something about it. sometimes ive had entire conversations with myself with only one side being spoken aloud. i hate it.

in todays news...i hate the word "bespoke" its Custom! gonna start calling my wands, staves, canes, hiking sticks, and walking sticks "rustic bespoke magical and religious multi use implements for the every day witch or wizard" and charge an extra $50 bucks for them. might actually turn a prophet

found a days old kitten today. likely washed into the street by the rain. couldnt find a mama cat or any other kittens within a couple blocks, so we are caring for it at least until its 8 wks. its eyes arent even open yet.

just when you think youve got yourself all figured out, something or someone comes along to destroy your concept of yourself. i was already on shakey ground after losing Zeus, but now...i dont even know who i am right now. im soooo irritated. depressed and highly annoyed

random thoughts. is it a generational thing where insults and even racial slurs were used as terms of endearment, or is my family really that messed up?

i think ive lost the magic. i havent been able to pull myself out of this depression ive been in since Zeus died. meds arent really helping right now. my spark is dimmed. it barely flickers most days. ive tried everything i can do on my own or with others.

i just want a woman who can look at me and think, "i can wreck him" and then make me financially stable. menally and emotionally just aimt gonna happen. i need my Ms Clause, the wlf in charge of the other elves, the one who actually runs the show, propping me up like a puppet king.

thinking about buying some land and building a couple vardos to live in instead of a house. id prefer a hole in the ground. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat.

ok. tike for something not depressing...maybe not counting middleschool and hoghschool, ive been in 3 street fights, as in my life was on the line. im still here so obviously, i won. heres how. im not remarkably skilled, fast, or well practiced. im out of shape and pretty much always have been.

i got Zeus' nose and paw print from the vet today and i cried. im still crying. i didnt cry like this when my dad died. i didnt cry loke this when my grandpa died. its been a rough week for me and its only been a week since he died.

ImJustMikey @santamikeydm.bsky.social · 05/06/2026
its been almost a week. i have trouble getting in the car because thats how i took his body to the vet for cremation. theres a Zeus shaped, Zeus sized hole in my heart and its gonna take time to go numb. the pain of losing a loved one never goes away. you just geg used to it or you go numb.

"This shindig is the bombdiggity" vibes but i love it. living in the kost biggoted place ive ever called a residence, and working with the public, its a delicate balance, but i will absolutely cut a bitch who comes for the community. oh the things i would say if it wouldnt cost me my livelihood

mourning/grieving sucks. i di t reccomend having feelings of any kind. it consumes a lot of energy and i think we should leave that to artists. the rest of us should just be unfeeling machines.

work helps a little for me dealing with loss, but when im home. when theres no work to do. when i should be sleeping, like now, i spend a lot of time just silently weeping. i miss my dog. i just. i knew it was coming and i wasnt even close to ready

losing Zeus hurts. at least he didnt suffer and went out while doing his favorite thing with both his people right there, and not in a cold, sanitized, room on a steel table covered with a thin blanket. his walk never ended for him, just us. i miss my boy so much

my boy Zeus just passed. we were on a walk and he just collapsed. burn an offering, say a prayer, challenge the gods. Zeus is at rest. 11,11,2011 - 05,29,2026

in other random thoughts, i dont think im fixing to be 41. i have to keep reminding myself that the reason nothing hurts isnt because im still in my 20s, its because i took a couple hydros. like, i pass my reflection and dont see a dude in his 40s. im mentally still a teenager lime 80% of the time.

i have a confession ive never actually watched, seen, or heard even a single clip of Owl House. i only know of it through fan art. i should probably rectify that. it cant be as queer, snarky, or smutty as the fan art, right?
