So, Florida wants to changd every office from "elected to a term" to "elected to serve at the pleasure of the governor."
Even ignoring the HUGE 1st amendment violation, the abandonment of due process is essentially "we don't believe in elections anymore" facism.
The Venn diagram of "men who go into restrooms to assault women" and "cis men who claim to be trans" is just two unconnected circles on a page.
Unlike, say, "transphobic bigot" and "people who go into restrooms to assault women". Rowling might be in both of those.
Excuse me while I have revulsion panics.
"Why would a series be made if she was still so ghastly"... Uhm, because bigotry and indifference to bigotry and endemic?
G'ha!
#AmWriting today up to 270.5 words
Plus, know, that work thing.
#AmWriting 137.5 words today.
Not counting the outline I did instead of mucking with the last chapter again.
3/8 word count was ... 476.3
#AmWriting
@swordgoddess.bsky.social says she can almost hear the tune, but our daughter said she can't.
I just hope it'll be fun to read.
#AmWriting with a goal of 300 days this year.
My count for Feb 7 is 735.0 words, with one bit in the woods I'll need to revise and one "no, actually try the bad idea" that involved trying to describe music in prose.
I can see that, but I think some just turn it off so they can post nonsense and not be called out on it.
I honestly can't think of two media properties that are more closely grouped by media yet further apart when you watch them. (And I also love them both.)
They're both dorky and terrible and awesome for entirely separate reasons.
#AmWriting to the end of a (rewritten) chapter. w00!
+1934.8, - 1449.0, moved 949.2
Today's word count is +565.3
#AmWriting even without a pithy summary.
That sounds REALLY interesting... Except that I don't see how the data is actually stored (git? Files in folders? SQLite?) and any overt LLM integration is a major turn off.
137.2 words.
Names are easier than negolisms to fit into prose, though both characters having known each other by different names complicates everything.
#AmWriting
Today's word-count report: +242.0, -21.5
Which includes a paragraph where a humanoid supporting character introduces five or six negolisms, and a main character's reaction is the sensible "Wut?"

While it's obviously not authorative and all English speakers have the right to find words for their meanings, Wikipedia has a fair article on the tooic and its complexities.

As we say in my household, "words don't have meanings; meanings have words."
Maybe "enby" isn't the most accurate umbrella for everything that's grouped under it, but it is what we have.
If you don't like it, offer a suggestion! Don't just rant on a social media site with your engagement turned all the way off.
Sure, you could complain about stolen pronouns when a cis-woman picks 'they/them" just because she likes beer and football.
But that's a friend thing; strangers should just take them at their word and not risk shoving a barely cracked transmasc egg into a suicidal closet.
I describe myself as "bi-gender", which is generally grouped under "non-binary", but my experience isn't functionally all that different from an early transfem or an egg.
Treating "non-binary" and "woman" as incompatible is not that far off from "biological male".
I just saw the dumbest take on my discover feed, where a presumably non-binary person was taking umbrage at "many women are non-binary"
NB is the umbrella term for all of us who are not a neat box. Saying NBs cannot be women is, to be as fair as possible, ignorant.
"Seven words is better than zero!" @swordgoddess.bsky.social said.
Yeah, well, so is... Uh... 54.8
#AmWriting, technically...
Was sick, #AmWriting again. 156 new words.
When in doubt, try something else.
#AmWriting to 300 days this year.
Today's delta is +674, -217.5, and the conversation reads MUCH better with a POV character whose thoughts can identify the code-word game.
#AmWriting still. Only 123.3 words today, but a heck of a lot of thinking about how to structure this chapter.
I think I need to either drop the cue code-word game or do a POV switch so the reader isn't left guessing what's going on.
Good day today writing-wise. +505.0 / -25.5, including a scene of a protagonist suffering for his own embarrassing mistake.
#AmWriting
Hey, I hit 103.5 words on a busy work-day! Yay!
#AmWriting
High fantasy. (I.e., no time-shift like Brooks or Tolkein, no porting heroes from earth like... Everyone.)
Today's word count (which I just stopped working on) is down to just +145.0; darn "work" because I need "money" to... Ah... Live...

FWIW, a "sounds better but actually isn't" alternate explanation I've heard is that your phone isn't actually listening to you, it's just reporting your WiFi networks.
Talk about a book or lawnmower, then someone searches, and everyone gets ads.
