I'm looking for freelance writing gigs/clients. I've written for TTRPGs, fiction, videogames, marketing/ad-copy, SEO posts, blog posts, and technical prose (mostly of the tech variety). I'm also a good researcher and can do developmental editing for some subjects. References and prices on request.

Ok. I admit. That was good. That was better than the original by far.

Oof! Also I'm on that for my lungs when the breathing gets really bad. Works way better than prednisone. But still has the I am God while I'm on it feels and then crap afterwards. You get better okay? I worry about you.

Nausea sucks so bad. :-(

I know I use prochlorperazine when mine tries to hit and it stops it in like 10 minutes. That stuff is AMAZING.

Feel better soon, dear. <3

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

this disaster is terrible
and we may not survive it
our descendants may not survive it
