Cum trees in full bloom outside the grocery store, flinging their unique fragrance in the faces of shoppers! Don’t miss it! These blossoms only come once a year! 🫠

I just fixed my oven (hooray!). This warning on the back made me chuckle. I was born in Cali so does this mean my oven might harm me? Or because I’ve been a resident of a different state for years I am now immune? 😆

from downloading gamemaker 4.0 as a teenager to getting game maker to post “REAL ONEZ KNOW” has been a hell of a journey

Delightfully overwhelmed by poetry. Past, present, future. A long line of poets, crafting treasure for all who seek it. And with every poem I read, my gratitude grows.

Oh, Choc’late Quinoa cereal! We once met in a Costco aisle. Enboxed, humble, ethereal, I placed you in my purchase pile. What breakfasts we went on to share, With milk, and bowl and silver spoon! I ate without a thought or care, Thus you were empty far too soon.

Your flavors were a perfect rhyme, No thing could you be said to lack. But now your name is lost to time, With Costco ne’er to bring you back. And yet I always check the place, Where we first met mere months ago. A phantom I’ll forever chase, The finest flakes I’ll ever know!

I pray that somewhere in this world, Your taste and form are still enjoyed. And not that you were sadly hurled, Into the dark and endless void. Oh, Chocolate Quinoa cereal, May you not ever be destroyed! 🍫 🌾 🛒 🪦 💫

I've seen people trying to defend it today by saying "No, no, I just use it to brainstorm, bounce ideas, I do the actual writing" and with all the kindness in the world I need to tell you: if there is a stage of writing you are not good at, you need to get good, not use the plagiarism machine.

I keep seeing "all authors use AI, the real issue is they're being forced to be sneaky about it" headlines. Full stop No. This is a lie peddled for normalization. It's schoolyard-level pressure tactics "C'mon, all the cool kids are already doing it. We won't tell. It's fine. We're on your side."

Would that the silkworms could weave me a shell 🐛 Earn a place in the race down on Tau Ceti IV 🪐 Yet I know when I go there’s no way it ends well 💀 Find my dreams decomposing in pools of blue gore 💦 #Marathonthegame

I started Gene Wolfe’s The Book of the New Sun after learning his prose was a big influence on Caves of Qud. Just finished the first volume and wow. It’s awesome! Qud def captures the same vibe. Can’t wait to start the next volume! Highly recommend~

We all thought that Winter was ready to go, that new Spring was well on her way. We woke to him weaving great blankets of snow. I guess the Old Man wants to stay? 😳

They resisted. They turned up their noses. “Please, we’ll eat anything else”, they begged. But I stayed the course! I gave my children NO QUARTER! And now? They eat lentils! Enjoy them, even! Muahahahaha! 😈 🥣
