How to handle Vellum's poor operation when you use google drive. 1. Try their automated solution 2. Try everything else 3. Pull out your hair 4. Consider finding new formatting software. Has anyone figured out a solution that regularly works without the hassle every time?

@MattFnWallace @mikechenwriter I just moved into a walkable neighborhood and it’s fucking glorious.

@mikechenwriter Thst all makes horrifying sense to me. I just wish awareness was a cure.

Driving in traffic today I screamed at everyone in front of me, "The light is f*cking green IT'S GREEN IT'S GREEN!!" over and over for like 30 seconds straight and afterward it occurred to me maybe people aren't meant to live like this and we've all bought into a lie? I dunno.

@vellum180g It was sent yesterday. I've included the versions in a followup email.

@CTLafollette In your message, please include the versions of Vellum and macOS you're using (or use Help > Contact Vellum Support from within Vellum).

Good. This article treats this like it's a bad thing, but I say, bring it on. Sue them all for stealing everyone's work.

@cj_dots Tech bros are too busy trying to replace creatives with robots so they can turn humans into the little clearer bots.

You remember in The Fifth Element when Zorg breaks a glass and all the little cleaning robots zoom out to clean his mess? When do we get all those lil robot guys?

@ShaBacksTheBlue @RusssBuchanan @nytimes Never trust anyone with a fascist blue stripe flag. Like cops, they’re incapable of telling the truth.

@RusssBuchanan @nytimes I don’t know if I was a suspicious kinda gal, I might think that a certain party knows the only was they can win is with 81 million mail in ballots. Now it’s our turn.

Tricia Cotham, a Democrat who supported abortion rights, was encouraged to run for a state House seat by powerful Republicans. Once elected, she joined them. nyti.ms/3KgsC59

It’s been about two months, and well, not much has changed for Powell’s employees. Technically, we’re working without a contract right now. Please considering signing and sharing this petition. All we’re asking for is a fair wage and healthcare. They can afford it.

@KesselringDamon @Carlos__Turcios Sounds like a threat, you pathetic little fascist.

Books such as “What Girls are Made Off” should be removed from all school libraries!

Letting 8-buck-chucklefucks get top billing on a post was a great idea. /s

@smreine You need some beef on your bones to fight a Gorn slowly.

I think if pop culture’s gonna be mocking kirk for being fat, we should just get to have a fat kirk. That would be rad. Idk man. Paul Wesley is so good. I just always look at him and I’m like “pff that captain would never need a girdle”

this is the silliest thing but my ONLY issue with Paul Wesley as Jim Kirk is that he has such a lean/narrow physique, whereas Bill Shatner was built like a barrel. I don’t mind a different physical presence. But Kirk was fatshamed by pop culture a lot. Girdle jokes and stuff.

I took a walk on the wild side and gave my MC two living loving parents. Figured I get plenty of time to traumatize him during his immortal life. Might as well start him out right before it all goes wrong.

@authorlbblack I have the same problem. That’s why I have a copy/paste file that gets moved to every new scrivener manuscript.

not me, still not knowing how to spell the words *i* made up after using them in an entire novel.

@suleikhasnyder What?

@ninaturner @Skajolly Dudes who took one Econ class in high school have some expert opinions.

“But if we raise the minimum wage, prices will go up!” Avg cost of a Big Mac in New Hampshire, which has $7.25 minimum wage: $4.83 Avg cost of a Big Mac in Washington, which has $14.49 minimum wage: $4.67

@JackieLaurin @TPAca @TorontoPolice @TPSK9 If the suspect had shot it, the press release would have been obnoxiously clear about it. “Police involved shooting” is news speak for a cop shot someone.
