Not everyone can be as talented as I. After all, I mentioned a character's last name THREE times in my WIP.
...And changed the spelling EVERY time.
It's a gift, really.

Hey a thing I really don’t want to get lost here is that while Tylenol doesn’t cause autism, IT’S FINE TO BE AUTISTIC. Let’s not grant them the premise that autism should be eradicated in our way to correct the science, okay? Okay.

Scheduling my next infusion (for my chronic, intractable migraine disorder- hiiieee!) told lovely infusion nurse I work from home. She said- yeah, most her patients (MS, autoimmune, headache) do, and/or work for themselves.

Not taking anything away from Senator Padilla because he was treated atrociously
But I JUST want to remind everyone that the Congresswoman LaMonica McIver, a Black woman, was just indicted for just asking questions at an ICE detention center in her state
Keep that same energy of support for her

Please please call your reps about Rumeysa Ozturk. She was kidnapped by ICE in broad daylight by undercover officers, and within hours was 1300 miles from home. She committed no crime. She wrote an op-ed for a school paper and spoke out against war crimes. That is NOT a crime.

I need a function on my writing program that stops me from renaming side characters on accident. Can AI do that? 'Cause I've given this guy like 3 last names already.

Why isn't overdramatic a word? Quit being overdramatic, spellcheck. I don't want to hyphenate, that looks WEIRD. And when things look WEIRD I get distracted and focus on that instead of the actual work of the scene. QUIT MAKING ME PROCRASTINATE, spellcheck!
