i am also getting insight into the frankly harrowing level of tech illiteracy in the youths. what do you mean you don't know how to set up a zoom meeting. what do you mean you can't find a document in a google drive. i'm going to become the joker

one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.

having a revelation watching a megwithbooks video: i would have so much more grace for "classics retellings" if they were simply called "adaptations" instead

I wish publishers would focus on well-written books that reward the reader's intellect, instead of formulaic crap written at a fourth-grade reading level. Unfortunately, pandering to the lowest common denominator with "See Dick and Jane solve murder" makes the most money.

If you could change one thing about the publishing industry, what would it be? I wish that being a debut author was welcomed, not rejected #writingq #WritingCommunity

Perhaps a different complaint, but I think they are intimately related: As a reader, I actively resent being marketed at like the only thoughts I can form about a work are AO3 tags

got the degree i assumed i should get (english), never challenged myself, did some cool work in publishing for ~9 years, started to burn out, moved, decided on a whim to volunteer at a wildlife rehab, turns out animals are lifechanging, now i'm back in school working at an animal shelter 🐕❤️
