The Life of a Content Creator

I actually really dislike the phrase, "content creator." It sounds like a bleached version of things creative people produce, made more easily digestible for the masses. But! That is the world and future we now live in, where everything is watered down in content, and also in language. Would you...

Prompt: My First Crush

Write about your first crush. I don't know how many people remember their first crush, or the first person they liked. I mean, I guess it depends on when it happened, or at what point in your life you started noticing those you were attracted to. But, come to think...

Prompt: How Would I Retire?

How do you want to retire? Today's writing prompt is actually a good one. Not because it's something logical that one would ask as a writing prompt, but because whoever generates these things must be at least a little tone-deaf. "How do you want to retire?" Huh? Retire? For anybody...

Hey It's Maven! Who's Maven?

So you're posting on Mastodon, enjoying your digital life away from most of the tech blunders of integrating AI into everything for no reason. Your words are your own, you've got your robots.txt files organized nicely in your root directories, and everything is peaceful. Life is good when corporations aren't...

Tipping Bad, Gifting Bad, Say Corporations Who Intend to Control Everyone's Money

Amidst payment platforms such as Cashapp stating that their app is a bank, and not a platform for tipping, or gifting money (I actually can't remember where I read this, but I believe they said it on a social media platform), more and more are setting down restrictions on how...

Does Kink Belong at Pride?

A topic that shouldn't be all that controversial, but is, anyway. The topic of whether the act of having kinks, or sharing them in an event typically revolving around the LGBTQ+ community (that is going to be shamed and persecuted no matter what, anyway, until our society gets to grips...
