How do you correct a very nice person who has been subtly misspelling your (common in the dominant culture) name for half a year? Serious or silly answers welcome! His name is not common in the dominant culture, so I can't just misspell it back
Using lists of three is not an "AI tell." It's a common trait in human writing because our brains biologically want to make sure there's always one thing to marry, one thing to fuck, and one thing to murder.
Friends, Ride or Die is SO GOOD Hannah Waddingham is an elite assassin! Octavia Spencer is a politician's wife who has buried her dreams to support her husband! They've been best friends for twenty years and go antiquing together!
Wooof. I didn't expect the Guides to bankrupt themselves in the face of a billionaire's legal crusade to dismantle human rights, but I'm surprised and disappointed that Amnesty International have chosen to back down

My local bookseller, who specializes in high brow small press stuff, told me that Heated Rivalry covered the store's rent by itself for two months in a row. So obviously it's on the counter display.
People still think of Sweden as this sexually liberated place, but the reality is you're not even allowed to fuck inside the giant taxidermied Blue Whale anymore. Place has really changed.
The only taxidermied blue whale in the world, 1865 CE, now housed at the Natural History Museum in Sweden. The public was allowed to enter the whale up until a couple was found having sex inside it. Now the whale’s jaws are opened only for special occasions, such as Swedish election days.
@mosermostly.bsky.social had what is likely the correct read: that they will use this to train a bot to seem less botlike
Oh my God, this is not a drill - LinkedIn has added 'seems like AI slop' as an option on posts Genuinely thought it was a joke until I clicked on a few posts
Absolutely fuck right off (complimentary)
A professional project manager who effortlessly juggles multiple conflicting deadlines, deliverables and dependencies in her day-to-day work has a private life so shambolic it is functionally indistinguishable from that of a labrador turned into a human woman by a witch.
do you need Shetland fic with big swoony feelings and also daemons and witches? I THINK YOU DO.
I wrote another Shetland fic, at the behest of beloved @llincathryn.bsky.social and @twistedsoup.bsky.social! I'm so pleased I was able to write this one, friends, and I think it's good. One you can read without the canon, also. archiveofourown.org/works/88933421
EXT: Victorian London Street, DAY Deppenezer stomps down the street MUPPETS: There goes Mister... JKR: What were you about to say about my friend? Sing up so my very litigious well paid legal team can hear. MUPPETS: ...lovely, there goes a nice guy, rich folk think he's super & we guess women lie
To every trans Londoner: this city is yours too. Today we celebrate London Trans+ Pride and reaffirm a simple truth: you should be free to live as yourself, without fear or prejudice. You are loved. You are wanted. You belong here.
#Hatchling Toddler: "Bad wolf!" Me and @such-heights.bsky.social, both immediately yeeted to 2005: "Bad wolf? :DDD" Toddler: "Bad wolf!" Me: "Where's the bad wolf?" Toddler: "Three pigs. At nursery" @such-heights.bsky.social: "...yeah, I guess that does also feature a bad wolf"
Does ethical romantasy mean the authors were paid a living wage and the publishers were outstanding bastions of workers' rights?
Were I an incredibly rich author I would simply live my life in a way that meant I did not have to send legal threats to Amnesty International.
#Hatchling was entirely unharmed, which was a relief because that allowed me to focus on how funny this was
gosh i do love london. I love a city where if you wake up too early it’s like “what the fuck” like yes it’s me one of those morning perverts give me nothing girl i hate me too for this
Trying to come up with a mnemonic for the three far right groups with similar names in UK politics rn reForm - F - Farage reStore - S - Splinter group But I'm struggling with reClaim - if only there were some word beginning with C that would help me remember it's Laurence Fox's party

I ran an absolutely 100% human, zero AI-involvement at any stage passage of my writing through an "AI detector," curious if it could really tell human from AI work, and it said my own writing was "84% AI written" then asked I wanted to pay to have it "humanized." So there's that to keep in mind.

If I were European I would simply solve the heatwave using good old American moxie. But I will not use said moxie to solve the USA's intractable social problems because America is a real country and I am very busy.
Older lady peeped the rainbow flag on my bike, asked in a thick Russian accent “It’s your Pride?” She told me her youngest grandchild is “not she berry or he berry but no berry.” I said “Nonbinary?” She got so excited. Yes! Yes! And “Is a secret, but they are my“ *looks around, whispers* “favorite.”
