Thanks! I'll keep that in mind for the next one.

Horror/sort of a character study perhaps, ~2k words.

Writing this was cathartic. I got messed up in a hit and run a few years ago, this story draws on that experience.

Reddish tint around the mouth suggests jam IMO

Cheers. I've got it set up as an autocorrect when I type shrugguy, doesn't account for markdown eccentricities though.

I didn't get it! Wonder if it's because I'm running GrapheneOS on my Pixel. I do have emergency alerts enabled, but ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Blade Runner's a bit different since the replicants are flesh and blood, just not naturally born.

A horror/weird fiction short story I wrote last week. Playing around with a sort of creepypasta-meets-John-Langan narration style (at least that was what I was going for).

Turns out "tell me about yourself" doesn't mean tell them where you were born and what your hobbies are 😅

Well, fuck me I guess.

Book a gynaecologist appointment if yours looks like that.

Interviews are such a big problem. I'm autistic, mid-30s, I've been working full time since I was 17, but I've almost never succeeded at a job interview. I've always gotten new jobs by either knowing someone or starting as an agency temp and then getting made full time, with the one exception being an interview where I'm pretty confident that the hiring manager was also autistic.

Pretty sure I'd be dead by 11:30

I don't hate systemd, but I prefer OpenRC and usually use it on my Debian systems. My preference is purely vibes based though, and I think most of the anti-systemd arguments in common usage are a bit silly.
