From now on I'm taking a notebook and pen into the shower with me because these writing ideas are treating me the way ghosts treat the Watcher boys

If one more university puts my application on hold I'm going to commit violent crimes against humanity

No other word has done more damage to the craft of writing in recent years than “content”. Even if you’re using the word “content” ironically, or as a cute little joke, don’t. When someone calls writing “content” they’re pissing on someone’s hard work & passion. “Content” is Technosatan’s henchword.

I hate going to funerals because I always feel simultaneously terrible and nothing at all. Soul crushing despair and apathy combined, and I dwell on it for too long while also wondering what's for lunch.

Grok can't apologize. Grok can, when prompted, generate a word sequence that is statistically similar to the colloquial phrases we think of as "apologies," but Grok cannot actually apologize because Grok isn't sentient. But we all have a lot of trouble with this because we assume sentience IS speech

Merry New Year. It may seem like everything's going downhill but don't forget that loving the people around you goes a long way

Thank your lucky stars. Curse your unlucky stars. Give a polite nod to your neutral stars.

I never finish my yule log in time for Christmas day but god help us we're going to feast on boxing day

Do people know that it's incredibly evident to anyone with half a braincell that they're generating their tweets and threads? Especially when it's in relation to major news events, we can all tell you're only trying to gain clout with your 'it's not just a [], it's a []'. Stop. It's embarrassing.

Hmm. Wondering if I should go with blue hair for christmas but unfortunately I cannot reach the back of my head and so may end up looking like Mel from It's Not a Cult... I could be convinced though

all I want for Christmas is the ability to remotely induce heart attacks in other people using my mind

Could the absolutely horrendous trumpet player next door please stop? It's going on 9 at night and they're so flat I want to go over there and give them a tune up!

Advice to all writers from my most fucked up character.

Just started It's Not a Cult today, and I have to say it might just be my favourite book this year.

If I didn't have so much work due this week I would sit down and gobble it up in one go (as I feel is deserving of it)! As it is, I'm leaving it until the Christmas hols so I can do it justice.

Specifically this post is wrt filming on a tight schedule with restricted location permissions where every actor is aware of these facts yet still insists on arriving an hour late, without having run lines beforehand. I wonder how this generation is going to hold on to jobs.

Not a great first post but I think we've all matured enough to move past that. Anyway I think being late shows a deep disregard for anyone except yourself, and this selfishness and disrespect is mirrored in every facet of your life. And is essentially a lack of basic civic sense. Smh
