Six years ago a client came to me. His landlord was trying to evict him over the last payment of a rent to own contract. The client had remodeled the entire house himself with his own hands, a room at a time.

Today, client won the house.

Some days are good days.

I can finally SCREAAAM about this! New bingo square unlocked for me as an editor at @ruadanbooks.bsky.social !

This novella is so wild and so cool. Imagine an vampire story with the vibe of a European 90s action movie. If that makes sense. (It will.)

Donate to We Lost Everything to a Fire. Help My Family Rebuild., organized by Chloe Clark On January 24th, our childhood home burned down. Our parents lost 50… Chloe Clark needs your support for We Lost Everything to a Fire. Help My Family Rebuild.

I'm still doing a GoFundMe to help my parents rebuild after a devastating house fire. The costs of doing so, with an uninsured house, are extremely high. My parents are elderly and low-income and my disabled brother lives with them. I deeply appreciate shares of this link!

A woman trying to save her city has to slit a few throats to do it in this noir-inspired dark fantasy world, a story I wanted to tell that was the reason I became a writer.

they really might have ridden the anti-woke train all the way to bankruptcy court, an all time brand fuckup that should be taught as a cautionary tale in business school for decades

My New Doctor Asks Me If I’ve Ever Used Tobacco Products I lie because I don’t want my insurance rates to go up, because he has my family history right in front of him where it says both my parents died of lung cancer. Even if he’s too polite to say it, …

The creator of ChatGPT is named "Altman," as in "alternative to human" and he leads OpenAI, which is completely closed.

His main opponent is the company Anthropic, meaning "human-centered" is led by "Amodei," as in "loves gods".

Then there's "Gemini," meaning "two-faced," from a cmpany that says it will do no evil.

Brilliant work as always Kojima!

I'm delighted that this story is apparently working for friends who didn't get all the references, but also I wasn't trying to keep secrets, so I'll tell you: this is the Camilla that my Camilla named herself after.
