After what just happened to @DrAllyLouks, I’m officially deleting this app from my phone. Twitter keeps sending notifications to tell me I’ll be interested in this pile-on, but all I see is how vile this app has become. I’m out. Find me on Bluesky with the same handle.

Transitioning over to where the skies are bluer: find me over there with the same handle, MyExplodingPen.

Got my 100th rejection for the year today (goal = met), on the same day as receiving $300 for a poem. Being a writer is really weird!!

Periodic reminder that you can request indie books from your library, and authors get paid a lump sum. My commission on a library acquisition is like $35, which amounts to a LOT of eBooks. Instead of pirating that $1.99 eBook, help the author get paid and still read for free!!

Academics will have a 2 hour conversation about how busy they both are that ends in them agreeing to co-write something new

Watching a cheesy movie where the hot young neighbour gifts Jennifer Lopez a first edition of her favourite book...The Iliad. A first edition. Of The Iliad. He found it in a garage sale.

American spellings usually throw me off, but I got today’s. Not really fair for the rest of the world. MOMMY, CORER, and STINT all in one week was messed up.

Oh no, I’m so sorry! I nearly lost it to MOMMY a few days ago as well. The words lately have been terrible.

MOMMY nearly got me too! It was a last guess and I wasn’t at all confident in it. I got today’s in three because I somehow smelled that double T coming a mile away.

Ah yes because we just block people for funsies, not because abusers use social media as a way to stalk and harass women. Ffs. I’m betting this update doesn’t comply with EU regulations fwiw
