The sign on the wall tells me there is a vending machine at the opposite end of my hall. I walk down there, ready for a nice, cold, crisp coke. There is no vending machine. Disappointment.

Also, keep me editing regularly by supporting Shortwave (see last qrp). You also get excellent books out of the deal, so it’s a win-win, really.

I wish my reaction to having too much to do wasn't "shut down and cry" and was instead "buckle in and get shit done" like it used to be. But also, I have to remind myself: if I forget something -- Texas HAS WalMart. And if my house isn't perfect, my sister isn't going to stop speaking to me.

Reading has become an endangered species. Which is half the problem with American political life. Maybe more than half. If you can't read, you can't think. Then you can fall for anything. The idea, for instance, that the truth is fake news.

Watching Killer Dinner has been fun, but MAN would it be a thousand times more enjoyable if Kelsey would stop screaming over everyone else when they try to talk.

I don't think I'll ever be able to explain how much it hurts to be SO EXCITED to hang out with your friends and tell them all about the cool new (secret) project you're working on... Only to have them just not show up for several weeks in a row. :/

Man do I feel like the outcast whenever my team starts talking about all the cool things they want to do with their kids over the weekend and then go, "what about you, erin?" Uh... IDK? Play video games and pet my dog?? Sometimes, I really wonder if I picked the wrong career.

Hmm. I'm not really a "horror" writer, so I've never entered a Hawktober Jam. But, literally this weekend, was brainstorming a fun, new, small project that I'd love to eventually make that would actually fit this theme perfectly. Chat, is this my year??

I've been heated that bc I've been a customer with my ISP since 2013, I am "ineligible" for any of the affordable rates they advertise, as they're for new customers only. I have to remind myself that work gives me 50% of my bill each month as a stipend. And now the ISP covers my Prime. Worth it?

Sometimes, I see people's vlogs doing things like walking queues at Universal or just filming empty theme park sidewalks at open / close and miss that life so much. Not that I don't love my now-job, but there IS something so cool about telling people you run a rollercoaster for a living.

You know your boss ~gets you when they send you a text the afternoon before your in-person event to warn you there will be minute-to-win-it style games taking place that will be forcing volunteers. I appreciate the warning, but it really just succeeded in making me consider not going at all. :/

I love modern tech / accessibility in things, but maaaaan. Getting a text to say: "Your brother is in the operating room," while not a SURPRISE, is so massively unsettling.

There’s a phishing scam going around that targets Twitch creators. “Ooh, we messed up your payment, please log in with THIS LINK and gimme all your credentials.” • Automated emails will 99% be sent through “no-reply@twitch.tv” • Check for spelling and grammar errors. • If it’s Junk, it’s Junk!
A screenshot of a phishing email from an account claiming to be the Twitch streaming platform that says :

“Twitch Interactive, Inc. would like to notify you that during a planned audit and recalculation of tax returns for the last reporting period, a technical discrepancy was identified in the tax deduction calculations for
your account.
As a result of the detected technical problem, excess funds were incorrectly debited from your account. We apologize for the misunderstanding and confirm that the refund procedure is currently in progress.”A screenshot of an email address that isn’t the official account of Twitch.

Wrote just over 10k on a new novel today between 730am and 3pm. On my dinner / dog time break now, and then I'll be locking in to do as many pages of line edits as I can for @shortwavebooks.bsky.social before my brain starts shutting down for the night.

I hate that I had effectively quit soda except for "special occasions," and having people living with me who drink it on the daily (so it was around and available to me) got me hooked again. And like, I do the grocery shopping. I know all I have to do is NOT BUY IT and I'll quit again, but ughhh.

One thing that I can't stand about some craft books is when the author just goes off on a 150-page tangent about something writing related, but not about the topic of the book. I want to know about Zettelkasten, not the length and structure of every form of short fiction known to man.

I would kill for just ONE local friend who was down to go to things with me, even if it wasn't their favorite thing, just to get out of the house sometimes. Because then maybe I would stop freaking out and letting anxiety over going alone ruin my life bc I'm too scared to go downtown alone.
