was making empanadas and realized my printing press is basically an overgrown tortilla press.
this is very dangerous knowledge
I'm suing Grammarly over its paid AI feature that presented editing suggestions as if they came from me - and many other writers and journalists - without consent.
State law requires consent before someone's name can be used for commercial purposes.

oh, *and* I managed to plant some secret foreshadowing in there too, even with everything I trimmed down.
what is secret foreshadowing? it's that shit that you realize 200 pages later was out there in the open the whole time and you just thought it was worldbuilding
didn't manage to work on it last week, but banged out another two chapters today while trimming another 1k of awkward wording/unnecessary world building, and may actually manage to get the characters to their space home before 60 pages in
I guarantee you anyone who uses this bullshit things Gatsby was super on the level and Daisy was the least problematic and that that pedestrian was legit trying to make out with the bumper of that car because he thought it was a Date Everything character
photo of a freshly printed block print, held in front of a peg board filled with more prints and random tools. the print is black ink on white paper, and is of a girl in a white dress with a huge trumpet skirt that falls about mid thigh, long bell sleeves held behind her stripped tights. she has long curly hair, a flower crown and with halo points, and sad clown make up on. you cannot see her eyes
Don't mind me, just printing sad clown girls for my patrons this month

Finishing things is such underrated writing advice. You need to learn your habits and what tools you use not just to have an idea or start a story, but to finish them. You need to get used to it, and then observe how you can do it better. That starts by finishing stories at all.
just once. once. I'd like to not have an exit strategy on the ways I *checks notes* interact with other people

Screenshot of a tweet with a picture of Leoβs Radic before she was executed by hanging. The executioner is tying the noose around her neck and she is looking down. On #WomensDay celebrate antifascist fighters like Lepa Radic. Born 1925 in Bosanska Gradiska, Bosnia, she was executed by Nazis at age 17. Nazis offered her a deal-life spared if she'd snitch on her comrades. She replied "My comrades will reveal themselves when they avenge me
I also need to remember that what I call "a small amount of honey" is not what everyone else calls a small amount of honey because gd my tea is like drinking a candybar

happy international women's day to all my trans sisters who have to fight this stupid ass country to prove they are who they say. today is for you too π₯

thats also a top tier choice
honestly, my meme reaction folder is basically just that one at this point.

also I'm broke now.

ECCC people, remember to go to bed early tonight, itβs daylight savings!!
of course you're not self-absorbed for hoping something you put lots of effort into is liked by others. You created it. Your brain produced that glorious sauce. That is no small thing. Got, fucko? It also doesn't invalidate your efforts if it doesn't magically pop off either. Keep swinging that axe.
but Tater, someone is bound to pop into the comments to cry, allergies don't cause fevers!
yeah. I know. but getting a sinus infection 3 years running that coincides with the branches turning red and the petals disappearing, like gd clockwork, aint frickin normal. and yet, here I am. I hate it here
genuinely hate how the very beginning and end of cherry blossom seasons in my suburban neighborhood full of cherry blossoms has been so intense the last few years that I spike a fever at each end of it. this shit can't be normal
DO NOT COMPLY.
DO NOT OUT PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY VULNERABLE CHILDREN
