"She got her voice back in the end, had it returned to her from the lips of her prince, and part of me hated that too: indebted to him now, this returner of voice, and losing the depth and wilds of the ocean, all of us cutting our own fins." @hobartpulp

twitter might be the only place where “being mad at me for being late all the time is ableist” is a genuine take. you people cannot keep rejecting the responsibilities and social expectations of adulthood by hiding behind your adhd
What made Santa Clarita Diet (2017) so frustrating to lose was that it had already figured out exactly what it wanted to be. Drew Barrymore & Timothy Olyphant played off each other perfectly & the cast managed to make cannibalism feel weirdly wholesome.
@Ardagul3r24 As an Ohio State fan, I cannot believe in defending Michigan, but Michigan university is one of the largest most successful and wealthiest universities in the world
Miller: When Talarico goes in for a blood test when he gets a physical, blood doesn't come out. Soy milk comes out. This man has less testosterone than Jasmine Crockett. They would choose a person who looks like he doesn't belong in the senate but in a cabaret show.
i’m just gonna say it: some of yall aren’t qualified for self checkout. if you don’t have an internal sense of urgency and fine motor skills, leave it to the professionals cause the rest of us are trying to keep it pushin
I submitted a draft of my short story to Claude for copy editing. Sometimes he’ll suggest a re-write of a particular sentence.
My version: “She was just a rich girl, with a carelessness about her that could only come from being born into privilege.”
Claude’s suggestion: “She was just a rich girl, careless in the way only privilege allows.”
It's a matter of taste, but I personally think Claude's version is better. It's saying the same thing but more deftly. But when I swap his sentence in then plug the paragraph into Pangram, it goes from being high confidence that it's human to low confidence that it's human. If I keep doing this, will it start to read like AI slop? If I keep doing this, is it even my writing anymore?
So I'm keeping my version, the one I think is worse, and I'm disquieted by the fact that there could be a better version of this story that I now need to specifically avoid.
