So in the novel I am writing, the male narrator speaks in the present tense, while the female narrator speaks in the past tense. I did anticipate how much switching back and forth would trip me up.

Let's play a game: I am going to name evil fictional characters that are less evil than Trump, and you folks can stop when the character is more evil.
First up, Frank Underwood from House of Cards

If you took everything that was wrong with men everywhere and throughout time, and gave it human form, it would be Donald Trump
He is a cancer and must be excised

Not that I expected better from him, but WHAT THE FUCK, Milo?!
Ok yes, regardless of sex, genitals can look weird, but the point is how they FEEL. And usually your eyes are looking elsewhere and all those other parts of women look great.
Milo, you are a fucked up man.

I know Milo claims he is 100% straight now, but for sake of everybody's well being he needs to just accept he likes dick.

I received a soft serve maker as a Xmas gift. Made nocino ice cream for NYE. It was delicious, but we all got a bit shit housed.

I will never be able to forgive South African born Elon Musk for the damage he & DOGE did to our government. He is clearly a racist elitist who does not care about less fortunate people.
I will therefore never buy a Tesla or any other product from a Musk company.
Repost if you agree. #BlueCrew

Trying to be a writer as a young person:
This is competition, I have to be the smartest cleverest person here.
Trying to be a writer years later:
Aw guys, you're all doing great. It's hard out there. We're in this together. I'll help how I can. You can read mine if you want, when you have time

Made a comment on Instagram how the Confederacy could have been punished so that we'd be better off today (more rope, disenfranchising mil & gov leaders, asset forfeiture, dissolution of states & reorg w/ different boundaries). I swear to god this MFer is defending chattel slavery to me.

I kind of hate holidays, but if you celebrate Xmas religiously or just culturally, I hope it is going well. I hope you never receive a "gift" that is just a bribe in disguise, or will be used against you later.

One thing I see guys saying on other platforms that I am sick to death of seeing is "only fans detected, opinion invalid" ... People, I don't give a shit. I don't care if she paints erotica with her period blood. If she has a good point about the militarization of police, it's still a good point.

I told my wife that if anything ever happened to me, to please not tell my family. She's not comfortable with that, but did agree not to say anything until some time after the funeral. I can accept that I suppose.

AI is only good when it sucks. If it isn't full of eldritch horrors beyond human comprehension, miss me with that shit.
The most annoying thing about genAI is that eventually the genAI proponents are going to get to the end of the novelty of it, realize its limitations, and then claim to be the innovators of doing things the long way without genAI. Call it "slow productivity" or something.

Land Lines released a perfect album with The Natural World. It is what convinced me to collect vinyl. No skips. Cohesive. Excellent flow. Mellow if you don't pay close attention, yet captivated and engaging if you do. Can not recommend highly enough.

I love music in non-english languages, particularly from places like Mali. Songs can never be ruined by stupid lyrics if I don't understand WTF they are saying.
I listen to a lot of music I dont relate to, I just love music :).

When I was 17-19 yo I read that 70% of hetero ppl fantasize about sex as the opposite sex for a psych class (I think). More recently saw around 1/3. Still incredibly common. That does not make a person gay, or trans, not even a kink. For men especially its an evolutionary survival strategy.

I'm never going to call myself an ally. I am not doing anything. I'm not providing critical air support while you storm the beaches of Normandy. I'm just trying, and often failing, to not be an asshole.

The most ominous nursery rhyme feels relevant
There was a crooked man
Who walked a crooked mile
And he found a crooked sixpence
Upon a crooked stile
He bought a crooked cat
Who caught a crooked mouse
And they lived together in a crooked house
There was a crooked man
Who walked a crooked mile
And he found a crooked sixpence
Upon a crooked stile
He bought a crooked cat
Who caught a crooked mouse
And they lived together in a crooked house

I am not wealthy. So I feel like we are, or at least we can be, in this together. I'm not saying I'm good at it.
