love the new place! :)

I think I’m too much of an internet person to like CharGPT. The way it makes the computer talk to me like a person freaks me out. I want the people in my computer to talk to me, not the computer itself!

100% agree

Congrats to our @columbiaup.bsky.social finalists for the 2025 @lambdaliterary.org awards LGBTQ+ Studies category: Mat Fournier's Dysphoric Modernism: Undoing Gender in French Literature & Matthew H. Sommer's The Fox Spirit, the Stone Maiden, and Other Transgender Histories from Late Imperial China

nailed it

explain more please!

Esteban is the one who’s lucky to have survived

happy to entertain

Same here, except it's @kylerseibel.bsky.social and co😂 I'm like, excuse me, I know some men who are constantly reading their fiction all over the place! Maybe these guys need to go to one of their events!

we love the subs! only five dollars!

💕 thank you!

I had my first short story pub there & met a lot of friends through their workshops. Was a reader later on too. A great community!

back in NYC and marked SAFE from Esteban

He’s now moved on to logging his calorie intake for the past few days. Using voice-to-text. He had a blueberry muffin from the cafe car and last night had salmon FYI

He is asking chat GPT things out loud. If he can’t find the answer he asks me.

I didn’t want to restrict access to getting out and going to the cafe car

When I said “true crime” he asked me if I ever thought of being a detective

I girlbossed too close to the sun with this thread because I’m on my return Amtrak to NYC and a sweaty government lawyer named Esteban just sat next to me, took off his shoes, and asked me if I was listening to anything good on my headphones

these men just talked to each other for five and a half hours straight. they both just left the train and everyone seated around them (all women) started going on about how glad they were that these guys were gone. “I’ve never heard anything like that in my entire life,” one said

“LSD changed by life,” Tex tells the oldster

“You know, you have my number now,” Tex tells him. “You can just send them to me.”

“I want to read them to you,” the oldster tells him. Then he starts in on article about a famous burlesque dancer from the 1940s

The cafe car stopped taking cards & Ted Watson is consoling himself by drinking from the bottle of Fireball he’s carrying in his leather satchel alongside a leather-bound sketchbook. The oldster reading to him from Wikipedia articles he pulled up on his phone about their earlier conversation topics

these men are both wearing fabric vests over t-shirts. they are talking about military history and big pharma. one is like 65 with cargo pants and the other is a man in his forties dressed like Tex Watson

meanwhile I’m in my happy place

the two weirdo yappers on this Amtrak train have found each other. introduced themselves with their full names. now reminiscing about the lakes they’ve lived by and their grandfathers. it’s beautiful. and now none of us need to talk to them
