I have seen a lot of cursed stuff in my time in academia but this is among the *most* cursed.
Grammarly is generating miniature LLMs based on academic work so that users can have their writing ‘reviewed’ by experts like David Abulafia, who died less than two months ago.

Yeah, I have a hard time taking care of myself, but I can take care of others no problem.

Mental check-in...meme only.

The problem with the whole 'post a woman author you've read 5 books by' is how many women don't get a second book, let alone five.

Anyway, carry on.

Niceness is what you say.

Kindness is what you do.

At the Fire & Ice convention this weekend and I'm running on caffeine and chocolate covered acai berries.

We started a new Chronicle in the play test of Coven & Crucible and the theme is A-team meets Creature Commandos.

Back in the gym again because I need to be strong to fight fascists.

Ring Cameras (partners of Flock Security that can ID cars and license plates) can TOTALLY help you find your dog. And if the AI can help find your dog they’ll use it to find *your neighbors* too if ICE comes knocking for footage. Don’t get a Ring Camera. Don’t spy on your neighbors. Fuck ICE.

this person has reached out to Llewellyn before about a different author looking for a healing ceremony.

I feel for him, and I hope he finds the help he wants, but this is all so odd.

This freaked me out a little because the effort it would take to track down my agent and then leave a message for me is more than it would be to just reach out to me.

My contact information is out there for anyone to find. So why go through my agent?

I talked to my editor and come to find out,

Being an author is weird. Being a witchy author is super weird.

I got a message from my agent yesterday which was just a forward of a voicemail a person left her. The person was trying to reach me because he saw my picture and wanted me to work a healing ceremony.

It's the first of the month, Imbolc & a full moon! Take advantage of all this energy to do a little magical hygiene work. Charge your crystals & other tools, make moon water & reup your magical protection.

Sweetening Spell for Persuasion - Idiorhythmic How to perform a sweetening spell for persuasion. When you need someone to listen to what you have to say, cast this spell. Beginner friendly

For the American witches: when you are making your calls to your senators to demand that they vote against ICE funding, do a sweetening spell prior to make them more receptive to your words. Instructions on how to do a sweetening spell at the link.

BTW when I say abolish ICE, I mean abolish it entirely and replace it with exactly nothing. Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free. That's it.

Be angry.
Be exhausted.
Be shocked that is happening in this country.
Yell.
Raise hell.
Be educated.
Post what you feel.
Share the victims names.

Remember to take care of yourself, too. We weren’t meant to intake this much trauma and news.

Fuck 🧊.

Stay safe. Take care of yourself. Rest if you need to. Don't push yourself to the point of giving up. One step at a time. One minute at a time. Don't give up, Don't give in.

If you see someone being taken, get their name. GET THEIR NAME. Call out, "what's your name?" or "como te llama?" and record or write it (or both, ideally both) and then call Monarca at 612-441-2881 with the person's name.

What a cutie!

In last night's game, I threw three wickermen mechs at my players. One of them responded by summoning up the spirits of the Emerald Ash Borer Beetle and then sent the spirits to attack the mechs. 🤣

Honestly, people calling creators the "petite bourgeoisie" makes me want to snap.

We're working folk. And we work really hard. For next to nothing.

We're not lounging around eating bonbons. We're trying to figure out how we're going to be able to pay rent next month.

Capitalism is so smart cuz if u have lots of disposable income, u hardly ever have to see ads but if u can only afford a $8 Netflix subscription boy does Chanel at Sephora have deals 4 u and your no money

This includes having made my desired gross income through my gaming, writing and crafting efforts. Having gotten Coven & Crucible: Beyond out. And finishing the edits for A Witch Is.

I did all that. It wasn't easy. And I'm proud of what I have done.

So I have a hard time celebrating my successes. Growing up my accomplishments were always dismissed or ignored. In light of that, I'm trying to get better at feeling proud when I do what I set out to.

This year I've managed to do everything I tasked myself with at the beginning of the year.

So, this hasn't been the worst event I've vended at all year, but it is in the top 3.
