Happy writing!

Having been a teen who was frequently embarrassed by my parents, I can say that it is way more fun being embarrassing to my teenager than I thought it would be.

Welcome to Bluesky! Here are some official City of Boston folks for you go.bsky.app/Q3wikeE

Let's try this again 👋

Hi Bluesky - I'm Massachusetts' Attorney General. You might know me from suing President Trump nearly 50 times, beating Uber and Lyft in court, or being the first woman of color elected to statewide office in MA.

I officially left X today - help me find my MA people?

Oh no! I hope we don't get there. My previous cat could also open the doors but he wasn't as curious as this cat.

Hypergraphia: On Prolific Writers and the Persistent Need to Produce ≠≠Up every morning promptly at 7, briefly enjoying breakfast around 8, consistently at his desk no later than 9, and then doggedly writing for five hours until no less than two-thousand words were …

Really interesting article musing on what it means to be prolific.

“What I think those who have hypergraphia share is a prioritization of the process over the product, of the experience of writing as much as its conclusion. For us, writing is a means of being.”

joanna girl let me paraphrase you:

Original post: If I spent an entire week crafting a reply that would prove the point I was making in my original post, I wouldn't come up with anything half this good. It takes TALENT to be this ridiculous. "Encouraging writers to read is ableist." Remarkable. Truly remarkable Quoted post: I am a professional author. I've been published in the NYT, Boston Globe, Esquire and more. I've co-written a national best-selling book (USA Today rankings) and I don't read for pleasure. I have a full-time editorial job, book promo/ support, three kids, a dog & a mortgage.

So I still sometimes get on X (because sources reach me there) and came across this post.

Homegirl is getting slandered in them quote tweets.

WRITING TWITTER IS BACK BABY.

A poofy black standard poodle laying on her side on a hardwood floor between a green rug and a leopard print rug, obvstentively dead to the world.

Telling my dog all about small press author drama. As you can see, she is enthralled.

Or headbutt open with enough force because it doesn't latch properly

No. Just old doors you can pull open with your little paws under the door.

Help my cat has learned how to open some of the doors in my house

A bunny at their desk at home draws in a sketchbook. Angrily, they crumple up a page they have drawn on. Other crumpled pages litter the floor behind the bunny, and there are ink stains on the book and the desk. It is night time

Daily bunny no.3234 can't get it right

(Crouching down, placing one hand in the slime trail right behind a snail) A snail was here, not 1 hour ago.. (Standing up) We're gaining on him

Medal winning skaters Alysa Liu, Kaori Sakamoto, and Ami Nakai form a heart shaped with their hands, arms, and red jackets.

Very therapeutic.

This is a topic where someone could "DEBATE ME!" and it would turn out i only have anecdotal evidence and strong opinions

I have an extremely ill researched rant as a non-sport person about how white people are obsessed with sports scholarships for college and it's ruining sports for everyone

YES I hate this.

A goat who lives behind my house, who is angling her neck awkwardly in a rather pathetic and desperate attempt to see my television set and catch the finale of season 7 of The Gilmore Girls.

THREAD.

A collection of photographs of excellent goats I have met during walks in the British countryside.

You will find the all-important captions to each photo in the alt text.

(side note: am trying to be more precise when I talk about "AI" because of course AI as a field has already existed for decades)

Nice. LLM chat programs are learning from us how to behave online.

I only wish Virginia Giuffre could see this. I wish she had gotten justice in her lifetime instead of repeatedly being punished for seeking it.

This article is from 2016!

Woman suing Trump over alleged teen rape drops suit, again The lawyer who organized the event said Donald Trump's accuser had received threats and was too frightened to show up.

Saw this posted in comments. We already knew about all of this and nothing was done. This person dropped the suit out of fear of retaliation, which we have seen happen over and over again with anyone who criticizes trump.

If the motherfucking KING OF ENGLAND is willing to have his own brother arrested because he's a pedo, whomever is running in the midterms and in 2028 needs to bring fire and brimstone for EVERYONE in the files. Charles himself realizes how important this is! This is not an extreme position!

*former Prince

Apparently they have arrested Prince Andrew on his birthday. When is Trump's birthday again? If he gets arrested I might be open to that day being a holiday

What Do You Do When the Biggest Platforms For Readers Are Kind of Evil? Last week a number of popular authors published an open letter to the leadership team of RELX. RELX is the parent company of Reedpop, which is the organizer of many conventions including BookCon, w…

I wrote about how there are no pure platforms or publishers and how there are very few ethical media diets. Which leaves those of us who know we can’t consume ethically but still want to try, left to navigate what feels right, or, at least, less bad. lithub.com/what-do-you-...
