Well, Nish Kumar was cancelled for political reasons long before Kimmel was, so there’s a lot of wobbling going around.

KIMMEL, to the UK:

“.. It may not seem like it, but we love you guys. .. We’re going through a bit of a wobble right now, but we’ll come around. .. Give us about three years.”

I normally know the overall shape of a story, and then essentially vomit out the words quickly. I'm currently writing something with less of a clear direction where I'm getting to know the characters slowly and it’s such a fascinating experience. #writing #writers #writingchat #writingthoughts

Tumblr user nocryptographer: I talked with someone who works in book publishing, and they mentioned they get a lot of AI slop these days. I asked how they know what's human-written, and they said that there's one thing that will reveal AI slop without error, and that's the author not knowing their own creation. A real author can talk about their story for hours. They love to elaborate every character, every twist, every detail. Because those existed in their head long before they ever made it to the paper. They were loved before they were written. AI slop wasn't. It was just vomited into existence. Someone who generates their story with AI will never bond with their story the way real writers do. That's why they may not know what to say when they're asked why did the character do this, or even remember the scene in the first place. It's something they read, not something they wrote. And to a writer, those are not the same. There's a unique bond between the creator and the creation. If your writing doesn't come of you, you'll always lack that. I keep hearing soon we won't be able to tell. And perhaps, in a superficial sense, that's true. But there is a difference. It's not em dashes or repeated words. It's whether the story was made by someone who loves it and cares about it. If the writer's eyes light up when asked why did the character do that? and they start their very own Ted Talk about that specific scene... then it's real.

Six days to Christmas! I remind y’all: I write queer holiday romances and stories.

Most recently? "Upon the Midnight Queer," holiday tales retold queerly. Includes the new Village story "Folly," a novella-length queer romance based on "Jolly Old Saint Nicholas."

Elon Musk is one of the worst human beings in history and is a white male. This is not propaganda as he thinks just propaganda

There are a lot of good reasons for transitioning, most of them having to do with not hating yourself, not being made miserable by dysphoria and so on.
