Melanie Cooper's Very Bad Day (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Hello, readers!I will admit to something that some of you will take offense to, possibly: I use a site called Base44 to make little “vibe-coded”, or AI-generated-code-based, apps and websites. I have the machine make a framework for me to put in my own writing or art (I am not a good artist so the websites that use art, like my Give Yourself A Gold Star Project, still need me to either become more accomplished, or maybe take photos!). I do this because I was curious about how AIs may work, and m

Read excerpt
There is a certain kind of person who makes a room better by leaving it (thank you, Oscar Wilde). We all know those sorts of people: the kind who can take a vulnerable person’s mind and twist or shatter it, a person who can see a vulnerable person has made something lovely and their first impulses are: take it and say “it was mine all along”, or destroy it.

A Little Bit of Everything (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Hello, readers!I am feeling a tad moody as I write this. I just finished posting about what is probably the most expensive, both in terms of its effect on my wallet and on my mental well-being, science project I’ve ever been involved with. It was called Project Cancer-Fighting Gut Bacteria. I had hoped to write an essay for a contest, found out I was in… Read more
