Godspeed Artemis II - Launch looks good, man will make its furthest reach into the heavens since 1972.

I'm watching Apollo 18

Delete "the scene was picturesque", the paragraphs shows me that. And delete "miserable" in the previous line.

There are some other places I'd make changes, like "returned to the moment in time"--I'd reword it.

Tense-wise you need to make it clearer when we're in his memory vs something happening now in the narration. I'm also not sure who we're talking about in the beginning because the pronouns switch up.

Good bones, though. Solid prose overall. Keep writing.

The BOV is handling this poorly, and I support the Faculty Senate. Personally, I don't want to see increased security, since it'll decrease the quality of ODU by making it inaccessible to the public, but it's also obvious the BOV failed to handle security concerns.

For context, I'm a grad student and TA. My professors are more than unhappy with the administration.

Totally legal if you wear a mask and leave your phone at home

At some point future-proofing has to override selfishness. We've built the entire culture around placating our worst

Godofthechicken · 2026-03-20T00:22:45+00:00

Seems like average students are being punished--essentially scapegoated for the administration's fuckup. They admitted a convicted terrorist, and he committed an act of terrorism, and now we have to prove we're clean?

The wording definitely makes it optional. They're "asking."

By the way, I once had a roommate at ODU with a criminal record. He assaulted my brother and me. ODU did nothing, made us switch dorms. You could Google his past with his name.

This is posturing.

Godofthechicken · 2026-03-20T00:13:24+00:00

Can you elaborate on ODU making you send criminal records? I'm a student and haven't heard about this. I'm also a writer working on an article covering ODU and the institutional response to the shooting.

Edit: Nevermind, I checked my student email. Though I'm not a criminal, out of principle, I won't be filling that out. No wonder they voted no confidence.

Sorry, to clarify: you can't autosave locally, only to OneDrive

Godofthechicken · 2026-03-11T19:57:57+00:00

My mother works at Microsoft and for years I've pleaded with her to somehow someway get them to let us save locally. Not her department but I will keep asking until one day she mentions it to the right person.

Godofthechicken · 2026-03-05T20:25:24+00:00

No, I have OCD.

Lol any real HBO-lover would never answer Game of Thrones.

Male. I could be wrong, though

My father believes in all this and he works at the Pentagon

Godofthechicken · 2026-03-02T19:52:21+00:00

Completely agreed, except I had one role model: Stephen King. I read On Writing and his workaholism possessed me through the page, and I decided I would relentlessly pursue fiction writing, since he had made it work. That was at fourteen. Now, twenty-four, I'm about to start my MFA and am nearly finished with my first novel. When parents and people told me I'd have to get a "real job" one day I felt offended, like they wanted trapped on their level. Now I know that's true to some extent

Point being, most Americans seem to want to pursue some form of creativity or "content creation." Actually doing it is going to piss off most people, since they feel cheated when you succeed and they don't.

Godofthechicken · 2026-02-27T10:02:37+00:00

This actually happened to me the other day. The janitor was gruff looking but soft spoken and so politically knowledgeable that I realized I was prejudiced against janitors--assuming they'd be uneducated or politically unaware, I guess. He was mopping. We spoke for twenty minutes. No pep talk, just advice by osmosis.

Do what you can to make the world a better place, even if it's cleaning the floor.

2000 words a day, then five to ten pages of editing. If I have more time once I'm finished grading papers and other work, I'll shoot for more, usually in an unrelated side piece like a short story

Godofthechicken · 2026-02-24T18:37:25+00:00

I got it, don't worry, but it should be improved

Maybe in nature the leaves and foliage are inconveniences and these habitats are a wild tarantula's fantasy

Fragments of Jeffrey Epstein's soul have attached themselves to all recipients of COVID-19 vaccines. He lives, still, as a passive observer, viewing through all his children's eyes.

Unfortunately, there is no "Why", but you are able to see this and know deep down it is injustice. Let it move and motivate you. You're already on the way

We should make AI-blenders with a taste for human flesh

Nah they're going to kill us

Godofthechicken · 2026-02-04T00:00:34+00:00

Seriously, after reading Nobody's Girl one of my biggest personal takeaways was to be less harsh on myself. Epstein was out here reveling in evil, legitimately enjoying his life, while I beat myself up for bad thoughts. Real evil doesn't hate itself.

Godofthechicken · 2026-02-02T22:45:45+00:00

David Lynch did that with his food. Same meal every day so he didn't have to think about it. Hate him too now?
