Perfection 👌🏽

that’s IT

Between Twitter and Tumblr that’s how I found new artists and formed lifelong friendships and it sucks so bad that they’re just… gone.

You ever just think about how much it sucks that Musk bought Twitter and absolutely destroyed it? Like man, that used to be where I'd meet new people, make real life friends, etc. Now, whenever I glance over there to check something, it's just unrecognizable.

my go-to move is to save it for making a broth!

[quoting a tweet by fractalcounty that reads, “today I learned that there are actual people irl who get genuinely upset if they catch you using chatgpt. like they view it as a serious moral failing in certain circles”]

Oh by the way, don’t forget you can ask your library to order nearly any book you want to read but don’t want to buy. And as authors we love libraries buying our books & readers being able to access them through libraries.

Hm.

I like that!

I squirmed in my theater chair too!

I love all of this. Thank you for this breakdown!
