my clients all assume i'm an automated process, too! i'm sick of the "but AI can't experience the CREATIVE JOYS of sending an email" posts. are you fucking kidding me? sending emails phrased precisely correctly is awful. can computer stop destroying environment and write my boring emails pls???

i would LOVE a program that puts dates into a spreadsheet, checks said dates, and sends 75 form emails for me. it could totally be automated, too, not even with AI. i am gnawing on the bars of my enclosure.

gotta be honest, i hate coming home at the end of a day full of mechanical, uncreative, boring data processing and seeing anti-AI posts that go off about how anyone who wants a computer to do rote work for them is dumb. ya'll have privileged jobs, don't you.

ughhh that always sucks

actual legit RoP fans have been so hard to find in general because tolkien spaces are filled with hate for it and barely hidden dogwhistles, it's exhausting.

we've had a decent real estate agent so thankfully we've had help, but there was a legally mandated mortgage online course we took last week that we wish they'd had us do at the beginning of the process! it was so useful. otherwise it's so confusing.

i remember when the RoP tag was very very tiny! i left it for a few years and came back for s2 like "wait... is haladriel popular??? huh?"

i'm only going to say the same thing i said when i was 14: i don't think tswift has read any shakespeare.

dealing w the people at work who don't think i'm qualified for my job like ok, then why were the minimum requirements a high school diploma & 1 yr of experience? if i'm overqualified, what do you think the issue might be....? 🥲

all discourse aside, there is one machine with consciousness. it's printers. they are alive and conscious and they hate you and they'd take your arm clean off if you let them. never trust a printer.

ok fuck it i got a really cool idea. just need two scenes.

anyone have any silvergifting requests for the time period after annatar leaves eregion, but before he takes the city? (i've got the 3 rings/making the 1/"Celebrimbor himself withstood Sauron"/sacking of the city.)

sariane @sarriane.bsky.social · 2d

struggling w my current story because it's structured so that, if i add a new scene partway through, i have to add a corresponding different POV scene AND a corresponding chapter (two POV scenes) to echo it in the second half.

WHY DO I DO THIS TO MYSELF
