Well I’ve given it maybe one week or one month I’m not sure something like that but substack is incomprehensible as a platform

So in lieu of waiting four to six months for an iPhone Duo I got a burgundy iPhone Oneo and A) it is so beautiful and B) I forgot battery life could be this good???

I thought Substack was like newsletters and stuff. Why the hell did it prompt me to download an app and make an account and then toss an algorithmic ‘for you’ feed in my face. Jump scare!

I consider myself quite tech savvy—a digital native, even. Do we still use that phrase or did it die with the tech-optimism of the early to mid 2010s? Anyway. Trying to figure out iCloud will be and actively is the death of me. Why are you so fucking secretive? Are you iclouding or not!!

I’ve seen enough of these in my decades online, I will simply not participate in that new top 100 shows of all time list. Nope. I have harissa chickpeas and jumbo shrimp to eat

Love to have sudden onset panic about ever making it as a published author!!! Love the hurdles I bring upon myself

I am so seated for back to back Nintendo and Apple key jangling today. Love to consumer spend! Think of the economy!

One year anniversary of my opening the Google Doc and starting the first page of my manuscript. It’s crazy to think since then it’s been on the desk of editors in all the big publishing houses and imprints. Now did they like it? Mostly no and some pending, but still,

Today I start writing my pop star horror WIP, Siren! 🎤👹 Very exciting to have a new thread to chase after a difficult year and struggling with my last project. I’ll get back to that one day, but Siren’s song was too loud to put off any longer.

Stark correlation to me quitting vaping and gaining 10kg in the ensuing ten months. I hope my lungs are happy the pricks
