Medieval brain has been making a comeback recently it’s so in right now
i love that a significant portion of the population of the world believes in demons and the devil and satan. they just think this stuff is real and it genuinely scares them

You should be able to get rich being silly online instead of being evil online, that would solve a lot of problems

i think it's useful to look at areas where the *tech* has gotten much better while tech *interactions* have gotten way worse. streaming has gotten worse, google search has gotten worse, digital cameras are leaps better. apple's silicone is so good it's threatening their user upgrade cycle
it’s so weird to look around and realize like, tech and media are materially worse than a decade ago

One of the most bizarre writer trends I’ve come across on BlueSky. Whatever happened to a decent one line pitch! Why are you a Spotify Discover page regurgitating tags at me
The modern version is a buncha squiggly lines and tropes utterly incomprehensible to people who don't read fanfic

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

I was dreading the editing stage of the manuscript but I’m actually having a lot of fun? Another pleasant surprise in the writing journey.
It’s still (relatively) early days, but more and more I realise the conventional wisdom out there is heaped in neurosis and mythicising the suffering and slog
