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.

Please don't cook the rice. The rice is already tender and soft. Also, the rice is already radicalized for the revolution.

She's been screaming at me for 30 minutes so I guess she's telling me she missed the bus and now I have to take her in.

MAD

She just got the zoomies, stopped, looked at me confused, then gave me the stinkeye.

My mother coined a phrase today while we were chatting about the political nightmare going on.

Me: "Whatever is in the Epstein Files has GOT to be bad."
Mom: "Really bad - but he keeps trying to chaos is way out of it."

"Chaos his way out of it" is a beautiful (accurate) turn of phrase.

As a connoisseur of the art of throwing hands I can assure you these are brass knuckles with a built in alibi for states that do not allow them.

I was stress-drinking with the cat last night - he had some nice catnip tea I brewed him and I was polishing off some Irish whiskey. I went to get him a fresh shot and I sat down and he assumed this position. He looks like a fucking noir detective at a bar after a dame done did him wrong.

TRUE.

Yeah. Known a lot like him, but he's got a certain quality. . . something dark as hell.

I was hoping maybe it'd put my fat ass to sleep - but after 12 shots I just stopped. I should have just ate some donuts and called it a night.
