Normal person gets AI psychosis: tragic, reflection of the increasing isolation within our society, a cautionary tale about the dangers of AI Onision gets AI psychosis: probably the funniest fkn thing that's happened this year 🎆
What was the first album you bought with your own money? Mine was Hard Candy by Counting Crows — from the KMart down the street that was liquidating 😶🌫️ 💕
Thinking about the time my 5th grade Spanish teacher randomly asked if anyone knew the opening line of Moby Dick & I ended up being the only one who knew the answer. Señor was impressed, classmates thought I was well-read, no one knew that I had actually picked it up from Dave Barry in Cyberspace 😇✨
It's come to my attention that most folks know very little about psychosis & what it does to your perception of reality. So, I want to share my story. I can't speak for anyone else who has grappled with this, nor can I diagnose. It's just a recounting of what happened to me /thread (TW, of course)
Made it onto the Midnight Writers longlist! 🥳 Many seriously incredible names on this list, very honored to be among them 🥰

Friendly reminder to study up on your antisemitic dog whistles. This screenshot was taken from a discussion on a Leftist meme page. Nazis have these conversations directly in front of us all the fkn time. Stay vigilant.

Honestly incredible that a piece I scrambled to finish and barely got to edit did this well 🥳 congrats to everyone who placed this weekend! #writingbattle
Breaks my heart how modern hyper-vigilance has led to a cultural shift towards casual cruelty as a means of self-protection. Trying to talk about it leads to commentary about how no one owes each other anything. Although this also means that Basic Kindness is Punk✨ Happy to be Punk AF these days💗
I have just learned that there are people in the world who don't engage with the Comedy genre and my brain is short-circuiting.
3rd in my group for NYC Midnight's Rhyming Story challenge! I had a few clunky rhymes in there that I was worried about, very relieved that the piece was strong enough for the judges to overlook those parts. Onward to Round 2! #NYCM #NYCMidnight #RhymingStory #writing
Dreamt I found a device that could fast-travel the holder to whatever coordinates they selected on a map. Ended up speeding off to Nashville, TN over the course of a few blurry, confusing minutes. Met @jasonkpargin.bsky.social, got to Beta read for him 👀 1/3
