Not gonna lie, both vindicating but also deeply sad that every single literary magazine I've looked at recently, having visited those site in the past, has edited their submission requirements to specify that AI work will not be considered.

And at the same time, I'm extremely fearful of how many writers are going to give up writing when it becomes impossible to tell AI from real anymore, and markets are utterly saturated with content to the point that getting anything published is nearly impossible as scammers try to make some quick change.

I imagine it wouldn't be worth it in the long run as a scam, because it doesn't exactly pay to write these days even prior to this, so it may then die out within a couple of years, though that might be optimistic given the plagiarism that makes it into the Amazon self-publishing realm. But even still, I do worry that in the meantime it's going to push writers out and force already struggling lit mags to shut down, and I'm so, so worried about it.

Found this cleaning job on indeed that pays pretty well omg. The other job is taking too long to get back to me (I think it’s because of my sister actually since they hated her back when she worked there ToT… and of course they’d recognize my last name…)

i really, really like what’s in my bag/what’s on my bedside table/dresser type videos, on tiktok. they’re so fun and cute and i like being nosy. anyways i wanted to play so here’s what’s on my bedside table—the curated edition, bc there’s actually a lot of other shit on there LMAO (a bowl of crystals, pillow spray, silk roses, a ceramic ring stand, sailor moon teacups etc etc etc). the perfumes don’t live there permanently they’ve just moved in for the winter. the jewellery and the hairclips and the dolls do, but i might move the sunny angel to my bookshelf. my little statue of mary does, altho i am not catholic; i found her years and years ago all dusty and sad in an op shop and couldn’t leave her behind. 🥺 now she soaks up the morning sunlight and stands next to the aforementioned silk roses like she’s in a little garden. 😌

I'm under no illusion that I haven't unknowingly eaten fast food in my life that was egregiously and dangerously cross contaminated that I've survived just fine, but the girl at burger king just fully handed me my debit card back with a piece of raw hamburger on it so uh. I'm not going back there. for awhile

Highlights from yesterday's Eclipse Roadtrip, because I forgot to write them up/was sick of trying to type on my phone because I cleverly brought the charger for it but left my laptop at home:

Massive almond croissant for breakfast - a little on the pricey side, but made up for by being effing delicious and again, MASSIVE.

Tagging along on a 4th grade class's Indiana Statehouse tour (along with several other random adults - apparently if you come when there's school tours going on, they just ask you to join the kids)

Getting to sit at an Indiana House member's desk while we were in the House Chamber and the tour guide went over What Are Some Laws You Know, The Speaker of the House Is A Lot Like A Teacher They Even Tell The Members When They Can Go To Recess, There Are 100 Members Of The Indiana House - How Many Lightbulbs Do You Think Are In This Massive Chandelier, etc etc. I was at Dave Hall's desk.

Going to the other side of the Capitol, the kids' State Senator came out to meet them and answer questions. Pretty cool, and he was really good with the kids!

Little Indian place for lunch that I'd never have found without the internet, chai just as good as you'd expect from a place called "A Cup of Chai."

Cacao tree full of fruit at the conservatory I visited. So weird how the flowers and fruit just, like, come straight out of the middle of major branches.

Disappointingly, the outdoor garden connected to the conservatory was Under Renovation, and had all the fountains drained and the plants that were not the lawn relocated temporarily.

Traffic. Oh gods, the traffic. I think I averaged 40 mph the whole way from Indianapolis to the Chicago suburbs.

A visceral reminder that Indiana rest stops are cursed places not to be ventured into, as the water at the one I stopped at was the exact color of cloudy urine, and I had to try three bathroom stalls before finding one that had all the components to its lock.

super happy to see eucalyptus and mint becoming more popular. ive always wanted to have everything scented like that for years...

[emoclone]

[signal-fire]

finally did some spring cleaning in my car <3 spring 2020 cleaning actually

[jet-bradley]

i refuse to work for a defense contractor but i think its really funny to own knife missile company swag so every time they come by the career fair i raid their table

[shmothman]

almost fully agree with you on the key items that fit in your pockets but may I suggest a fifth item: a pocket knife

Listen I respect all my pocket knife carriers out there but (other than when I’m out in the field in which case I do have a field bag with me) I have never once needed a pocket knife while just out and about

I WILL append that I do usually have a water bottle and snack in my car so if I’m out In Public for longer than intended (and haven’t gotten food for some reason) I have access to Protein Bar

oh it's sad boi hours
