I was recommended Go Bag by Chris Scott from Matt Kendrick's Mondettes newsletter.

Go Bag is a list-based flash fiction that has a real punch to it, a great example of the form. It reminds me quite a bit of Joseph Fasano's Words Whispered to a Child Under Siege, which is another hundred words or so that will rip your guts right out. Words for our modern agony.

bookscorpion: This is Chelifer cancroides, a book scorpion. Not a real scorpion, but an arachnid called a pseudoscorpion for obvious reasons. (Default)

AI use statement

I sometimes hand write posts on a TCL NXTPAPER tablet that uses an AI Large Language Model (LLM) to convert my handwriting to text.

I do not intentionally use generative AI in anything that I make but note that I use apps (Microsoft Office, Canva, etc) that have integrated AI. These may have hidden AI 'features' operating in the background or offer assets that may be AI generated and not labelled as such.

To the best of my knowledge any content made by other people that I use or link to does not use generative AI.
