Eve Harms, Orph Understander

I'm no stranger to finishing large projects, I've figured out the persistence aspect of it, but I still really struggle with being patient with myself. I feel like I'd enjoy it more if I wasn't frustrated by my perceived slowness. Do you have any tips on how to be more patient with long projects?

Nothing like a good-old fashioned “back to reality” sob fest after taking some time off work

You don’t have the balls to have had an orchiectomy

Reading over a draft of my manuscript, and what the hell was I thinking with this simile: “like water on an open wound”

I'm old enough to remember when gadgets had doohickeys, and the doohickeys were fun!!

If any of you are looking for an alternative to Duolingo since they went all in on AI, I found an awesome free alternative called Lingo Legend that is a language learning game with a farm/pet sim side and a rogue like builder side. It’s made by a small team that are anti-AI which is so refreshing

It’s a really fun game too! Please use my referral code if you sign up so I can get more in game currency to decorate my pet lol Code: RWJ56

Getting a weird regional hotdog today

It was pretty good, but the best part was the guys with heavy Rhode Island accents yelling instructions to my brother on how to properly smack ketchup out of the bottle

I hate to admit it, but Elon’s X is a huge success. He completely destroyed marginalized communities, fucked over sex-workers and artists, let CSAM material, racism, sexism, transphobia, and bigotry run rampant, and people stuck around to have their consciousness pulled down into the gutter with him

I’m still bitter about all the people who helped make Elon’s project a success by staying on twitter/X, but hey, it’s their descent into the fascist chud mindset, not mine. Repeated exposure to that shit will warp your brain and shape your worldview, no matter how principled you consider yourself

When I was a kid I worked as a bagger at a grocery store for less than a week. I told them I couldn’t work Easter and the hiring person said sure. The guy training me never showed me the posted schedule so I didn’t know it existed and when I didn’t show up for work they fired me

I was like 14 and it was my first job, how was I supposed to know there’s a paper on the wall somewhere that says when I work, in addition to the days I agreed on, and that managers lie about you getting time off? I’m still slightly salty about it

Stop saying that things are “solved.” That’s the language of fools. Nothing is ever solved, you’re playing the wrong game

Every single day I get emails from different "people" saying they are "backing" writers in Los Angeles and apparently wanting a piece of Eve Harms. It's really putting salt in the wound of me having a lack of extremely wealthy mysterious benefactors.

I went into CVS today and the first thing I saw was an employee sneaking a scan into their mouth, as if they were feeding on the red light of the cellphone attachment. Inspiring. Your quirky impulses could be a part of a strangers surreal experience today!
