A cup of genmaicha in the afternoon may inspire me to write a yurt-centric contemporary Pillow Book. I’m delicately caffeinated, a court lady in the service of Empress Prose

Russian caravan tea this morning. It’s 1965. Dr. Zhivago fever grips the nation. Young boomer men are going gaga over Julie Christie in fur. Samovars fly off the shelves

Got a new little story up at Bull. Thanks to @thedrevlow for picking it up

Apple Intelligence. Claude. Co-pilot. ChatGPT. The digital bells and integrated whistles overwhelm the Area Writer. He’s just trying to write 400 words about that one time he had diarrhea while breaking up with his girlfriend

Read the first 80 pages of Ali Smith’s Gliff last night. I like her stuff but sometimes she’s a bit too didactic. Morality lessons. The morality is usually something anyone can sign up for. Be kind. Care about the environment and animals. An eloquent aunt urging you to vote

Ten year old Asus laptop with windows 10 is going to Valhalla. Looking at replacements and every brand is shoving AI in my face. Might have to go low tech in the yurt. Bic pen and a yellow legal pad. ChatGPT whispering under the door, begging to be let in

why am I smashing my face with this hammer? I'm just giving myself a little frontal zygomatic projection, a little infraorbital support. everyone will be doing it within 10 years. Tell the officer I don’t need a welfare check, I’m doing self-improvement.

Bagger desperately needed a win to keep round 4 of Lit Battle competitive and the tribunal gave him one. Is this a sound decision founded on literary jurisprudence or a gross miscarriage of justice? Meanwhile round 4 is already underway https://t.co/K189I9UrGm
