Honestly, I love the airport. You’re right about it being a lawless place, there are very few places where you’ll find people drinking beer and cocktails at 9am unjudged and the airport is definitely one of them. I would say it’s one of my favorite people watching places, and I can’t help myself from doing things like noticing book covers and looking up the synopsis of what someone is reading lol.

I love airports because they bring two of my favorite things together under one roof: people watching and “liminal spaces.” The lounge access is also a plus, though they really do be letting anyone in these days.

peculiar cross-section of people.
people dressed sweats, people dressed in suits. people sleeping face down across several seats, people engaging in lively conversation. people travelling alone, for business, for weddings, for funerals, for joy, for pain, or for no reason at all. a lawless, time stagnant place.
and to top it all off,
airport walkways.

Kinda comfy feeling you get to wait with others read your book and play on your phone. kinda exhausting especially connecting flights but feels like your on an adventure:))

I know I’ve ranted about AI before but! Just saw another writer who was doing peer reviews as she was writing chapters with another person; until she found out the other person was using AI for their NOVEL! Blows my mind. She removed this person from her document and sent her a kind but straightforward message about how she won’t be working with her going forward due to the AI usage. I feel like using it for novel writing is one of the most insane uses because #1 this person told me that the AI generated parts of the work weren’t even as good as the other person’s normal writing was. #2 let’s say no one noticed and you published with the AI work, so you would be okay if the book did well but it wasn’t even truly your writing that people would be praising?? Not to mention of course the morality and environmental impact.
Also, I was shopping around today for a custom leather stamp to start stamping the leather journal covers I make. Thought I found someone to make it until they said to send the logo file over and they’ll send back AI created renderings of a mockup to approve. Now I am starting the search all over🙃

So we all think it’s sketchy that Tik Tok is already back right? And that they posted a statement kissing Trump’s ass and making him out to be the one saving Tik Tok when he isn’t even sworn in yet? And now Trump wants the US government to have a 50% ownership, aka turning Tik Tok into state owned media just like I thought was happening. And I’m sure most people won’t be able to stay away from Tik Tok and Meta which is so disappointing. I want nothing to do with Tik Tok now because I know the app as we knew it is already gone at this point.
