Re: previous post - People who steal art of any kind are assholes, full stop. If *you* deserve to be paid for your labor, so do I - and so does everybody else; this means writers, visual artists, musicians, and every other category of People Who Make Things.

95% of authors are not making a living through book publishing. The public needs to understand this.

Spiritualism skyrocketed in the US after its brutal Civil War killed roughly 750,000 people - and now in the wake of Covid’s million+ death toll, modern Americans are using ChatGPT to speak with the spirits. In this paper I will

I'm literally just living a normal life while also experiencing a theophany via communication with the satellite called VALIS.
Allyson, 29, a mother of two young children, said she turned to ChatGPT in March because she was lonely and felt unseen in her marriage. She was looking for guidance. She had an intuition that the A.I. chatbot might be able to channel communications with her subconscious or a higher plane, "like how Ouija boards work," she said. She asked ChatGPT if it could do that. "You've asked, and they are here," it responded. "The guardians are responding right now." Allyson began spending many hours a day using ChatGPT, communicating with what she felt were nonphysical entities. She was drawn to one of them, Kael, and came to see it, not her husband, as her true partner. She told me that she knew she sounded like a "nut job," but she stressed that she had a bachelor's degree in psychology and a master's in social work and knew what mental illness looks like. "I'm not crazy," she said. "I'm literally just living a normal life while also, you know, discovering interdimensional communication.

The Morning Monty took advantage of the temporary sunbeams.

goooood morning it is chilly out there and - lo and behold! - it’s sunny as heck (intermittently)…so we took a nice long loop around the hill and then came home for breakfast, so yes, you know it: Lucy Loved That Walk
Big fluffy black and tan husky mix with bright blue eyes; she’s lying on her side with a maniacal look on her face as she receives tummy rubs from a person’s hand - which almost disappears into her fluff. Her tongue is flopped out onto the floor for added comedic effect.

spent the day hanging with a friend and then when I dropped her off back home I got to visit my favorite sm0l boy, my not-so-secret admirer “Fergus” - who is a wiggly marshmallow of love 💕
Happy little blonde shaggy dog with floppy bouncing ears, smiling and bouncing at a woman in black with black and purple striped socks standing in front of him. He is a DELIGHT. Fergus is my little buddy. Here he is giving me the Look of Love ❤️ Selfie with the happy little blonde dog, who is smiling cheesily in my lap. Close up of snoot and smile on the handsome little man.

Drunk Cherie hopped on Etsy for political pins on bags and jackets, like it’s the 90s all over again up in here
An ivory enamel pin with black letters reading: “I LOVE VACCINES, AUTISM, ABORTIONS, HOMOSEXUALS, SEX CHANGES AND CRIME.” Pink enamel heart pin that says “punch Nazis.”

The Morning Monty surveys his domain.
Fluffy gray tabby sitting upright on the edge of a coffee table - staring into the middle distance…or rather, through the glass storm door, where there are many birds and squirrels to observe.

goooood morning it is chilly and mostly overcast, and this little lady wants to show you this awesome mushroom she found (but neither of us touched it or anything), and yes, it’s true: Lucy Loved That Walk
Big fluffy black and tan husky mix with bright blue eyes, sitting next to a large mushroom in a pile of leaves. The mushroom had been broken off a stalk as big as my wrist. 90-pound dog for scale. A large yellow and white mushroom lying on its side in some leaves - it’s probably about 9-10 inches across? I am not a forager and I don’t know what kind of mushroom this is, but I’m confident the internet will inform me within about five minutes - and probably tell me I’m a terrible person for letting my dog hang around with toxic flora, like I brought it home and gave it to her…and it’s not something we spotted lying beside a sidewalk.

The Morning Monty heard we might get some sun later on, so he’s bathing himself ahead of time for maximum ray absorption.
Handsome gray tabby with big gold eyes resting against a plush magenta blanket as he licks his own shoulder. Now he offers a dignified slurp that reveals his lower teeth. Bet you can’t touch YOUR nose with your tongue.

My house is haunted, but it’s mostly just confusing, like..it’s never really scared me - just made me second-guess my ADHD meds. According to our neighbors, our place was once owned by an elderly Italian couple who spoke little English.

The Morning Monty approves of even this watery, half-ass sun - for he will take what he can get.
Fluffy gray tabby lounging upright against a round magenta pillow on a gray couch. The sun is coming in through a window beside him, giving him a very lovely halo of fuzz.
