Yeah, I totally agree here.

She was mentioned once, in passing, in Ramona the Pest! I reread the series a couple years ago and I did a double-take at that part.

I imagine the contents of this brochure written in the voice and style of an angry train, like when the Onion prints an opinion piece by a battery

“No matter how you feel about AI, Sam Altman gave us money and it’s important that we normalize cognitive offloading and slop.” futurism.com/openai-teach...

i swear this was not in the forecast until like half an hour ago

WHY IS IT SNOWING

potentially this is why other artists tend to ‘get it.’ you dont put in that kind of time on something unless it has completely enveloped your heart. i think other artists tend to recognize that because they have felt it too

Oh oh oh do you remember Howie Kemp’s older sister? Because I’m not sure even Beverly Cleary did 🙃

A few have suggested that some aspects of this mission--joy, international teamwork, diversity--are being played up to stick it to the hateful attitude of the administration. But I don't think it's that. I think it's just that those things are essential to and inseparable from a mission like this.

I JUST FOUND A FOURTH SOCK

We have our own laundry, so it’s not like I accidentally picked up a neighbor’s sock. It just came here from the Nowhere Space, I guess.

If you get self-conscious about posting repeated promo, let me give you all my long-standing promo-hack, for free. (I'm not currently using it, but I will be soon! lol)

also seriously, no matter how much you are posting i promise you someone has not heard of your book / movie / tv show / comic etc

Please do this, lots! Authors need the boost and I need more books to read!

Exactly! I follow a lot of writers and I want to know about their books, but I follow them because I either already liked their work or they say interesting things
