guess who submitted her master’s thesis this morning then left the library to recover/nap before coming back to campus to present it

I think the argument of AI as a tool falls pretty flat on the basis that the problem is that people / kids aren’t learning the craft and context of what they’re doing beforehand. It’s just become a complete replacement for thought and effort.

There's (thankfully) a line between "the things I have are meaningless" (nope) and "life often feels gray" (yep). I cherish all I have, because I've lived a life without them. I've been negative-balance broke. But even on my bad days, it matters to me that I pay the family bills.

If you have two minutes, I'd love to share a tiny piece from my debut story collection that seems fitting for today. Loosely styled like a song, "Hey, Stop Blaming Your Dead's Mother Fists" grapples with how much past wounds absolve us from present damage.

NOW HIRING for a summer fling with the potential to stay on full time at the end of the season.

i'm glad my friends give me grace cs i don't know wtf wrong w me
