"In everyone there sleeps A sense of life lived according to love. To some it means the difference they could make By loving others, but across most it sweeps As all they might have done had they been loved." - Philip Larkin, "Faith Healing"

As a hillbilly, let me just say: Fuck, and I can't stress this enough, J.D. Vance.
Happy West Virginia Day from me, and from the Mothman eating a pepperoni roll. (Shirt by @nathanwpyle)
Wrapped up the last day of #1000wordsofsummer with 1,193 words. Over these 14 days, I wrote 17,754 total words across three stories that I've written and started rewriting. The neat thing about doing this is it becomes a practice, and I know I'm going to do another 1000 tomorrow
For day two of #1000wordsofsummer I got 1,735 words on the page and finished the first draft of this story I've had percolating for a while now.
Doing #1000wordsofsummer for a third year. Got 1,327 words of a new story done for the first day.

It only takes ONE juror to hang a jury. Juror #2 answered that Trump’s Truth Social was their only source of news and not even THAT person voted Not Guilty on even ONE charge. Please save your rigged/sham/kangaroo takes for your echo-chamber friends & donors.

Hey Coastal / Conway / Myrtle Beach folks! I hope you'll join us tomorrow for a reading by @bwhobson. Alford Ballroom, Atheneum Hall Room 105. Free and open to the public. Reception to follow.
Starting to believe I may actually be my cat's emotional support human.
One thing I find interesting in the discourse about AI writing is that most takes from educators (that I've seen) have focused on how we can prevent students from using it or catch them if they do rather than examining/addressing the reasons students may feel the need to use it
