Gorgeous colorizations of trans history images,

also if you judge me for my reading habits i will have you know that the epic of gilgamesh was ALSO contemporary m/m romance once. why do you hate the epic of gilgamesh you uncultured swine
ive been reading a few contemporary m/m romances and enjoying them bc it feels like being lightly concussed. and/or running everything through a magical realism filter. nothing makes sense but everything feels nice

I love Christmas and normally I'd be getting so excited right about now, but this year I'm a little down because it's our first holiday since we lost Fergus. I'm hoping I can spread some cheer and regain a little spirit myself by raising some funds for our local shelter! givebutter.com/n5l31M

Woke up to find water shut off because of yet another water main break. It was fixed a few hours later.
Then: ANOTHER water main break. Water came back on; I thought it was fixed.
7 pm email: We have to shut off water overnight to fix the leak.

I love being an editor, but I'm only ever as good as those I've studied under and those that continue to edit my own work.
Editing is such an important component of the writing process and is often overlooked. But let it be known my work would be WAY worse without editors.

Nobody ever reads a great article and thinks, "Dang, that was some tight editing." But editing is a big part of how it got to be great.
So writers, if you've ever worked with a good editor, shout 'em out.

Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait.
My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.
