*updates on Current Events* Once again reminded of the line "Why should I read something you didn't even bother to write?" -Who cares! AI is here! Human creativity is the whole point -And people need to eat! So you use the anthropocidal plagiarism machine that guzzles water? #reading #writing

Finding Whimsy: The Catcus As always, I have questions. Harmless ones first: What does Catcus eat? Was Catcus part of a litter? How many types of Catci are there? #cats #writing art cred: briarty

Highland Books woke up and deliberately chose aggravated assault

Yup. Tis I.

Amazing when you catch onto lyrics mid-listen because that man literally said, "I want to be every lever you pull / And all showers that shower you," and it just escalated from there. Reminds me of "I'mma need you to slow down real quick coz I need to tell you something"-situations... 🤭 #writing

*stumbles upon fabulous ratio* I have clearly been offline for a while. *scrolls through feed* Hank Green did what now? Explain everything. *scroll-reads* Oh dear. Oh my. Oh Lord. Aïe... #writing

Try first. Get mad later. #writing #monday

Today, a fly entered my domain, yet had the temerity to escape. I complained to the authorities, they spoke of aerodynamics. How is one to hunt in these conditions? In other news, the authorities have supplied fresh cardboard boxes to disembowel. This is appreciated. - The Cat Diaries #caturday

July was basically a day and March was literally last week 😭

Do y’all understand this means that next month is SEPTEMBER???????

住めば都 sumeba miyako Literal (approx): "Where you live is your capital" Translation: "Home is where your heart is" The spatial aspect of capital gets lost in translation since home has different connotations - *German enters chat* Huhu! I have a word for you! - OUT! No, silly! Heimat! #writing

Currently working my way through Mary Beard's "SPQR, A History of Ancient Rome" b/c reasons "The votes of the poor mattered and were eagerly canvassed. The rich were not usually united, and elections were competitive. ... [The rich] ignored or humiliated the poor at their peril." (191) 👀 #reading

That moment when you find out that another is carrying a nightmare on their shoulders all day every day. And they laugh and joke about it because how else deal with the horror? Whiplash followed by heartbreak, since to make light of it would be another betrayal. That's when words fail. #writing

I want to murder the plant and kill the lamp, but the human won't let me. I have complained and explained the irrationality of such behaviour, but the human laughed in my face! Then prohibited access to plant and lamp - and walked away! I am very upset. - The Cat Diaries #writing #caturday

Hello, ladies. Look at your man. Now back to me. Now back at your man. Now back to me. Sadly, he isn't me. #throwback

This husband is an aggravation

Yes yes yes nostalgia is sticky and rose-tinted and all the bad things, but there's something about slipping the tape in and pressing play that hits different. It's the buttons. Picked them right off our wee gingerbread hearts. And now generations are crying out: NOT THE GUMDROP BUTTONS! #writing

Well someone got very stabbed. I gather there's history here. Ahem. #filmsky

🎶Aruba, Jamaica🎶 NO Ooh, I wanna take ya STOP 🎶Bermuda, Bahama🎶 OUT Come on, pretty mama I'M NOT LISTENING 🎶Key Largo, Montego🎶 BEGONE Baby, why don't we go? *slams door* 🎶Down in Kokomo🎶 I HATE YOU SO MUCH RIGHT NOW 🎶We'll get there fast, and then we'll take it slow🎶 NO! NO! NO! #music

Her: Would you love me if I was a wyrm? Him: Why do women always ask that? Her: Well, would you? Him: What kind of worm? Her: I'm thinking fire-breathing. Wyvern adjacent. Him: Come again? It was at this moment that Sir Knight realized he gravely misunderstood the situation... #writing

This thread. 💯💯

the breadcrumbs ran directly from 2 decades of questionable behavior to this moment... and NOBODY ... not a single resourced person said "let's do a proper background check" before standing in front of this train

There is a certain kind of book research that has to be done in moderation since it will absolutely ruin your day... phew this is grim. #writing

I shall read something nice and soothing now because that mess was literally unnecessary. Thank the Stars for good books because Lord in Heaven 😭 *emergency palate cleanser activated* #reading

*scrolls on* Eyes: see. Mind: recoils. *loss of unknown innocence* There was no need for me to see that. Or know that. None. Y'all have demons. I was very fine never knowing that even existed. Yikes. Yergh. And Yikes again. #wtf

*sees funny post* Dammit, now I want [insert unhealthy snack]. #tuesday

See, this is why we are *respectful* of The Sea. It's basically Space only right here on-planet instead of out there off-planet. And it's definitely full of sentient species... #filmsky

*researching weird organism* Head Scientist: What is it? Researcher: Dunno. HS: Figure it out. R: It took 200 years to figure out bacteria. HS: Please be faster than that. And once again Enterprise Time has entered the chat: everything has to happen by yesterday 🙂‍↔️ #filmsky

Ralph Fiennes and Stanley Tucci together in a scene is wonderful to see. #filmsky

The fact that we can watch humans walk in space has to be a miracle. I'm literally watching astronauts fix something complicated IN SPACE, all from a tiny supercomputer in my hands (→→NASA Spacewalk). Now they're assembling new gear. IN SPACE. This is the definition of amazing. #space #writing

It cooled down a bit btw which is nice, but the threat of another heatwave lingers... #summer

I'm still on the fence about the Oxford comma (yes, yes, shocking; I remain unmoved), but cafés, bookstores, bakeries and museums are genuinely wonderful ✨️ #writing
