I was part of the mass exodus of writers from twitter but hadn't formally deleted my account until now.
As of January 15, X (Formally Twitter), will have an irrevocable license to use all and every content in the platform, for A.I training and you can opt out of it.
I recommend all artists to just completely leave that platform.

So starting Jan 15th Twitter is adding to their terms AGAIN. The TLDR; You will no longer be able to opt-out of Grok or AI training. Having a Twitter account will automatically grant Twitter full license to anything you post and will be fed to AI training. Period. Not just AI scraping, but full-on.

I follow the quiet signs—
deer tracks by the creek,
water moving forward,
small miracles underfoot.
Nature keeps reminding me that renewal is real, that light finds its way back, even after the storm.

It's a new year new you, so you should write that book.
Because while you wait for that mythical 'right time', you're letting go of the fire and passion of your 20s, 30s, 40s, and on, all of them unique literary selves that you'll never get back.
So don't miss out. Just make the time.

"When wealth is passed off as merit, bad luck is seen as bad character. This is how ideologues justify punishing the sick and the poor. But poverty is neither a crime nor a character flaw. Stigmatise those who let people die, not those who struggle to live."

Having basic needs met is a huge factor in determining health
If everyone had shelter, food, healthcare & a basic income…society would be healthier
Instead the billionaires & corporations hoard wealth and blame us when we become disabled or homeless
Poverty is a policy choice. Not a moral failing

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)
Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.
I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

Funny animal videos no longer being trustworthy just fucking sucks all around. I love the wonder of animal behavior and what it says about the experience of being alive. It's because it happened in reality that it's so fun. It's not fun if it was just made up. There's no wonder there.
