There's this vague feeling that I used an incorrect word in the above post. The irony.

Today is Indonesian Father's Day, so here's something my father taught me:
Once, while an episode of Mission: Impossible (forget which one it was, the 1990's or the 1960's one) was playing on TV, he told me, "Secretary means Minister of Foreign Affairs." Making sure I learn English early.

New Report Examines Writers’ Attitudes toward AI A study commissioned by the Gotham Ghostwriters and Bernoff.com found that while 61% of professional writers are embracing AI tools, authors, specifically fiction authors, are much more wary.

Fellow writers: this is depressing #BookSky

So sorry to hear that. 🤍

I’m not asking for anything for myself,
just for every moment I struggle to stay strong for my family.💔

A generouse donation from you could be what helps me get through the day with dignity.

you might be the reason our home feels a little warmer tonight.

The grocery store scene frightened me because the setting is too familiar (shopping for necessities) and the people peeking at her from behind makes it worse.

Suharto’s Fascist regime was one of the worst of the 20th century, whitewashed by international supporters from the US and well beyond.

This is fucking evil and monstrous. It also feels like a reaction to the uprisings in Indonesia and goes with the Black Scare against perceived Anarchists.

Sankyuu! 🥰

No more white font on blue background for the newsletters. Maybe people spoke up instead of just posting on social media like I did. 😶‍🌫

Character art commissioned. The character had a haircut midway through the story and I decided her hair is now shoulder-length.

That sounds awesome! Congratulations. 🥰

My dad sings in an incredible semi-professional choir in Portland and I’ve heard them sing this so many times and I cannot tell you how jealous I am that I don’t get to be one of the voices you never hear but you couldn’t live without who makes this sound possible

Same. I discover the ending when I'm already sure about where the story is going and the points I try to make.

What a horrid idea.

A short-sleeved shirt with Tanjiro's kimono patterns: checkered, black and green.

Does wearing this count as cosplay.

A reminder: AI is a bad translator--it will give you in a pinch the meaning (if it doesn't get hopelessly confused) , but i will not create something that reads like a book.
That's why we have professionals.
(And everyone who's reread ai translations knows that it's faster going to rewrite them)

Harvard Gazette: Gazette: “You are the mother of two In ten years you have produced three novels and two short-story collections. Can you talk about your process and how you manage work and family?” Groff: “I understand that this is a question of vital importance to a lot of people, particularly to other mothers who are artists trying to get their work done, and know that I feel for everyone in the struggle. But until I see a male writer asked that question, I am going to respectfully decline to answer it.”

Many happy returns! 🎂
