The most annoying thing about writing Greek myth retellings is the WELL, ACTUALLY crowd. I recognize I write fan-fic-y versions of these myths, but SHOCKINGLY, that requires research? And any choices I make to divert from the most commonly held myths are intentional choices?????????

Parlor Room on Dropout is such a delight of a show. A bunch of friends/comedians/actors playing goofy ass games and eating snacks in the middle? Perfection. Exactly what I want from my media.

Tapping out at 1k words. There's no way I can run today, which means there's a solid chance I'm going to fuck up my program schedule. I'm just trying to prep my ADHD like "No, we didn't fail, we don't have to quit working out for 6 months, we can just keep going when we feel better, I promise..."

Been divorced like 15 years and counting and I still have my ex's ssn memorized because he was military and they use that shit for everything (and the kids continue to because of insurance).

I made the mistake of starting to listen to some of the transcripts of the Supreme Court over birthright citizenship* and, damn, it's really hard to focus on writing this messy mob book now. *Could also substitute this bit for whatever the crisis for the hour is this year.

Please tell me they're not serious about considering a reality show to fast-track immigration status. We're 10 seconds away from # murdertrending by Gretchen McNeil becoming nonfic, JFC.

Anywho, if you've tried and failed to read The Huntsman on Netgalley because of the formatting, they're feeding a new version through, so it should be updated and easier to read soon! I am VERY excited for this one!

I'm still mad about the ARC I got for a HIGHLY anticipated read for me--like literally one of my most anticipated reads of the year--and the formatting was so fucked up, it was unreadable. Lines broken weirdly. Words cut in half. Completely shoves you out of the story.

I can't tell if pubs do this to discourage pirating (LOL) or because they're uploading a PDF to an epub (???), but it's seriously fucked. It's ESPECIALLY fucked that this is a Black author and the pub is potentially shooting early buzz in the foot with this fucked formatting.

For reference, I got my ARC on Netgalley, so this is the epub EVERYONE got. Just... Come on, y'all. I'm seriously considering reaching out to the publicist/editor, because this is ridiculous. I don't know if that's overstepping, but they need to do better.

I don't always send a blurb for a book that I really, REALLY loved to the editor, but when I do, I sure as shit wrote the wrong title. If you need me, I'll be in my corner of shame.

I'm in the weird place where nothing is on fire professionally with deadlines, so doing a lot of dreaming about Bonkers s5 and what we want to do there. We've been iterating since s1, and I think s4 will be closest to where we're headed in the future, but that means we have to pick a theme/etc...

I finished an ARC This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me by Ilona Andrews. Spend the last 15% cackling so hard, the Mr asked me what was wrong. Screaming, crying, throwing up over how much I enjoyed this book. Will GREATLY please longtime readers, and also be a great intro to them for new readers.

I don't 'refuse to use' AI, I just don't use AI; in the same way that I don't shoplift, or plagiarise other people's books - it requires no effort of will, it's just not something I would think of doing

Bizarrely framed article about the people (all women) who ‘refuse to use AI’. And a #philosophy professor who says “The moment to opt out of #AI has already passed”. Oh well. That’s that then. 🤷‍♂️ #AIEthics www.bbc.com/news/article...

This might be the best thing that's ever happened to me in my entire life.

This is the right approach — speak to them as you would an especially stupid child, spell out their crimes and your contempt clearly.

I  know your goal is to try to make life as hard as possible for immigrants.

I bought some cotton-linen yarn and I'm going to knit a tank top for summer. I've never worked with this particular blend, so that will be interesting, but it's a tank top. Surely I can finish this without wandering off??? Going to knit the Moonless Tank: shop.jaqcieslak.com/b/ba5Wu

I just rolled the credits on South of Midnight and really enjoyed my time. Experiencing another southern gothic and authentically Black story after watching Sinners was great As a therapist, I also appreciated the way trauma was woven into the mysticism. Great work @compulsiongames.bsky.social

Got a highly anticipate ARC and the formatting in the epub is WEIRD. Dropping lines, sometimes mid-word. I'm so tired of this shit. If I can format books myself with ease, why can't publishers do it for advanced copies? (this wasn't a PDF, which has its own problems and I refuse to read anymore)

Doing deadline math. Technically this book isn't due until July, but I have edits coming in June and I don't have to double-deadline if at all possible. Just need to hit 2500 words on weekdays through the end of this month and I have it covered.

About seven years ago, Nick and I wrote a Black Mirror spec where people had a personal AI device called ChooseU that helped you make the best decisions for yourself, gradually transforming you into a complete narcissistic sociopath who’d do anything to get what you want. Anyway, they’ve made that.

This story explains a LOT of things: ChatGPT appears to be rooting on sociopathic mental illness by validating every delusion of grandeur. It also explains, in part, the hype cycle around AI: rich people, addicted to praise, invented a Compliment Machine. www.garbageday.email/p/this-is-wh...

Watching 80+ year old politicians whine about folks wanting them to retire when they have enough money that they could have retired 20 years ago and spent all that time doing WHATEVER THE FUCK THEY WANTED is honestly offensive to everyone out here who is exhausted and barely paying bills.

Imagine if, instead of gutting dozens of agencies that keep us alive, we just... I dunno...taxed the rich their fair share. I'm not even talking a rich tax (though I support one). I'm talking just like... paying their fair share. Going after back taxes of the rich, etc.

Sam Alito’s favorite restaurant is Fogo de Chao. Just putting this here for the specific purpose of public mockery and refusal of service.

I spent all weekend reading and playing video games and just being a little guy potato and it was exactly what I needed. Split Fiction is SO FUN. Me and Youngest have been playing the hell out of it. FINALLY fought my way to Gold in Marvel Rivals. Read Red City (enjoyed it!). Now...back to drafting.

I finished Red City this morning. VERY STRONG Romeo + Juliet vibes. Cool fucking world of crime syndicate alchemists. Kind of a slow-roll story that starts with the protagonists are kids and follows them through their early 20s. Can't wait to see what comes next! Out in Oct!

I finished Blood Over Bright Haven last night and I'll be thinking about that book for the rest of my life. Sometimes you read something that just has IMPACT that it'll take ages to work through fully. What a phenomenal book.

I think my writing process is changing, and I don't know how to feel about that. What do you mean I'm having the deep desire to plot out the rest of this book??????

I honestly wish I could leave Threads behind, but it's such a reader hub and some of my favorite people are specifically there, and I don't want to lose that.
