If you're embarking upon the full-day project of repotting all your houseplants and, while at the nursery, you think, "Oh, I only need one bag of potting soil," that is the devil talking, buy two bags.

Brought to you by me, currently waiting at home while my wife runs out to buy a second bag πŸ™ƒ

I don't want to order online, I just want to look at an html page of your menu, preferably with a few photos to jazz it up

I can’t believe you lefty Luddites hate tech so much that you embrace mRNA vaccines, heat pumps, electric bikes, hybrid work, renewable power (and awesome advancements in storage), space telescopes, and hot/cold running water but reject the planet destroying plagiarism enrich the worst people bots!

As someone from a sikh family, that practices a faith that was literally founded on the basis of not being able to tolerate bullshit, it is against my religion to use generative AI and I have a letter from my mom to prove it

Seivarden fully does not know why she's here but she knows she's gluing herself to Breq's side and never letting go.

Reread Ancillary Justice! Here's my summary:

Breq: I want to kill God.

Seivarden: Breq is the bad bitch that pulled me by being dismissive and full of rage. I will follow her into hell. Let's pose like we're on an album cover.

Breq: No.

Seivarden: Looks like we aren't posing. Ride or die, baby!

A table with red tablecloth laden with food for feasting. There's a beautiful loaf of homemade bread, butter, a crystal bowl filled with bean stew, three difference sauces, a platter of cornish game hens, a platter of cauliflower topped with quartered hardboiled eggs, and a savory pie.

Our Medieval Midwinter Feast was a rip-roaring culinary success! I cooked all day (what else is new when I host a party πŸ˜‚) and everything was really legitimately good! I was honestly expecting a lot of the food to be weird-but-edible, and it was genuinely delicious! Read on for details!

Just hit 40k on the first draft of the next Warrior's Guild book! Hell yeah, me! πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰

Just [checks notes] around 100k to go! (And then all the other steps before it can be published, but let's not think about those right now...)

We have SIX DAYS to get this out of the Washington State Senate. NEXT TUESDAY is the legislative deadline to get bills out their house of origin.

If it doesn't pass by then, it likely dies till 2027.

Since farmworkers were written out of labor laws in 1937, we have to win at the state level.

I need to go get better cord to lace it with (I hand-sewed the eyelets and I don't have anything the right size for them) but the medieval-ish outfit is FINISHED, including a little headband/hairpiece!

Not bad for three days of work using only materials I had on hand! I'm ready for renfaire season!

Yeah, I could immerse myself in admin hell to try to make a quick buck, or I could write horny books from my heart and libido that actual humans actually like enough to recommend them to their friends and make slow but steady sales based on real human connection and love!

Every time one of these AI book grifters comes out they reveal that they have SHITLOADS of books in order to make any money at all, and like, why on earth would I want to have to do the worst part of writing (all the backend book setup) more times than I absolutely need to???!!!
