Your AI illustrations are deeply unsettling, in a manner more remarkable than the usual AI grumpiness.

*RESTACK & SWEAT:

This is quite a list, and you are speaking the truth here.

(I begin to smell my armpit to see how "basic" I am...I look...I'm quirky enough to say I'm fine. Totally fine).

Alright so far I'm a philosopher troll assassin.

That actually sounds pretty badass. I wonder if the DM will let me spit my exp between classes.

Ah right you are! See - I don’t even see myself as one 😂

You grazed me with a couple in the previous posts, but I seem to be safe on this one.

I'm scared that when you distill my essence perfectly it will be like hearing my true name and I'll turn to dust immediately.

I thoroughly enjoyed your descriptions of everyone else.

Humility is my superpower.

Hmm… I survived all three rounds of your Basic Substacker posts. You haven’t gotten me yet! Is there a part 4?

Expand full comment

Not yet! I see you like sports which is nice. I'll have to do one on that sometime.

I look forward to reading it!

My Substack is a mix of sports, humor, and personal stories (which can be quite serious) plus a heaping helping of whatever random nonsense pops into my head while I write. My stuff can get pretty out there sometimes- I was diagnosed with ADHD last year (at the age of 49) and think that may at least partially drive some of the zaniness.

Off of Substack, my writing is mostly poetry, although I am wrapping up a 13-page obituary for my Granny Patsy. Here’s a note I wrote the night she died:

Your parody game is *strong*. Loved all three parts. And I feel I have survived all three rounds but I’m not going to tell you how to get me.

My free Friday content is the only stuff people actually read and that is all about penises and karma and bad haircuts and shitty opera options so I dispute this characterisation but thanks for checking me out!

I'd also say it's more vaping than cigars, that little electronic sound and quiet inhale is the new "dog barking in the garden" incidental background noise of choice.

I could see that

I’m surprised not to see the “mom” category on here that writes about homeschooling and her children. Not me but it’s what I get fed lol

Expand full comment

That's a good one

I guess I fall under art, so you got me this time. I've still got reviews left though, lol

Nice redheads! Enough to make me read the post.

Not in this lot...checking number 2 now...wait, is that a category too...numbnuts who read substacks back to front, finish to start?

Expand full comment

I need a new Substack to be more mainstream. If I can fit growth using AI and crypto while hating other social media, I might be on to something!

Expand full comment

Sounds like a growth hack!
