Late to this, but thoughts and prayers!!! A hard row to hoe is a good middle-ground one.

DMATMOOBIL is better written than 90% of all the romance books I've ever read. And I've read alot. Just sublime.

Shot: Manacled
Chaser: DMATMOOBIL

I feel unstoppable

still one of the greatest stories ever told…

Happy Solstice!

Recently heard this story narrated on TAL, and I had to look it up. It's easily one of the best stories I've read this year. www.mit.edu/people/dpoli...

Meanwhile, they've never built anything in their lives, and have no plans to speak of. Would love that confidence

December will always feel summery to me, a Nairobian, despite what the dreary British weather might be trying to throw up

'Game of Thrones' has the same issue so much hackneyed fantasy, comic, and sci-fi storytelling has with female rage: A woman, having acquired power, is "too unstable" to responsibly weild that power and must be put down. By a man.

"Love is for the ones who love the work."

The cover of Issue 183 of The Continent shows a section of razorwire coiling into the horizon. At the bottom left of the cover are the words: "A line along the Limpopo". The photo was taken by South African photojournalist Paul Botes at border between South Africa and Zimbabwe.

someone needs to put this in a development economics lecture

Loved this, the increasing desperation of the comments, Emeka the renegade ignoring calls lol

The copyright statement from Ephemeral City which reads in part: No part of this book may be used as data for ‘training’ any large language model or as part of any machine learning or neural network architeture. Human creaivity cannot be replicated by doing maths with stolen art. Altman, Andressen, and all their cronies can get fucked. Enquires should be made to the publisher.

Publisher: Do you want to put an LLM clause in the copyright statement?
Me: Definitely. How specific can we get?
Publisher: As specific as you like.

This is still my advice: Become a writer anyway. Fuck it, do it, it won't save you, but it's still a beautiful dream to write novels and short stories and poems and mingle with other dreamers and make art and laugh in the face of death. And writing is constant death. Live más.

Sawa maybe before the invention of planes it was difficult, but surely hata Mexico? Canada? Anywhere in South America?? Asia??

I actually quite liked the Invisible life of Addie LaRue, though I demand justice for Luc. The thing I found interesting was how in 300 years, she only visits a handful of countries in Western Europe and the US. It's the world tour version of cursed immortals.

kind of toxic how writing a novel requires you to write a novel

there is nothing better than recommending your favorite book to someone and them coming back and telling you they loved it. absolute cocaine of a feeling. put that shit in my body immediately

Pia wigs 😁

The marriage proposal in the third row is outstanding
