This might be unpopular but I’m not going to use simpler vocabulary in my writing if it’s out of character for the narrator. If my POV character is a botanist, he’s going to call a plant by its name. If you don’t know what it is you can either Google it or move on just knowing it’s a plant of some sort.
I don’t like this trend of readers being angry that not everything is 100% understandable for them. I want my characters to be believable as people and sometimes people use words people outside of their field will not understand. That’s not a bad thing.
You don’t have to understand every word to get the gist of what’s happening. I’m not going to slow down an action scene to describe every weapon because someone might not know them by name. They can just assume it’s a weapon because that makes sense in the context of the scene.

tv shows with time travel organizations/bureaus/police/agencies/whatever should have a department with instead of a tech genius eating candy, it’s a harried seamstress or fashion designer who is like
“1450 italy? does it look like I have the time to dye you wool? nO. YOU’RE GOING TO THE 1980s”
and throws shoulder pads at the hapless time agent

Kaz : it’s not right
Inej laughing: it was funny
Kaz: it was not, Matthias beat me at Monopoly…MATTHIAS!
Inej: If it helps, it wasn’t a lot of ability, he was mostly lucky, he got good cards and the dice fell a lot in his favor, other things were pretty much adviced like Nina. Also you kind of deserved that for being an asshole last time when you put him on jail the whole game and then mocked him
Kaz: But how was he so lucky? I certainly know how to cheat in Monopoly but him? He didn’t even took out the ga…
Kaz: oh that motherfuc-
….
Kaz in the darkness with a candle:It was you
Wylan waking up : AAAAAH!
Jesper: WHAT THE FUCK,KAZ?!
Kaz kneeling on the bed over Wylan : you were the one that set up the game,you put the cards on the perfect order for Matthias to get the good ones
Wylan: that’s absurd! How do you think i could ever be capable of that?
Kaz: you are a math genius
Wylan:…
Wylan: i want to take the compliment but I’ll fall in the trap. Anyway, Kaz,Matthias beat you,get over it. Also, even if I did somehow did the cards thing,there’s no way that’s the only thing that made him win.
Kaz: it’s true,that’s why you had the dice be manipulated…BY HIM! (points the light at Jesper) Jesper moved the dice by your request , probably you whored yourself out for that
Wylan: Kaz, this is just…
Jesper: i am so sorry,Kaz! I didn’t want to, but he seduced me!
Wylan: what seduction? I only said “please”
Jesper: duh! That’s what i mean!
Kaz: I don’t blame you,Jesper. Also realized that Nina was on it , she had been telling jokes the whole game,which would make Inej laugh and it will distract me to put two and two until it was too late..
Jesper: way too late,it’s 1 am
Wylan: you are not exactly right,Nina didn’t knew the whole plan or even that Matthias was supposed to win,just that she had to keep Inej laughing
Kaz: how much did you pay her?
Wylan : well, i said “want to make Kaz suffer?” And she said “yes” before I could even finish. I tried to give her some kruge when the plan worked but she gave them back and said “Kaz’s loser face was everything that i could have asked in this word”

such a huge relief that hillary’s so ahead in the polls and trump has such a small chance of winning, right? WRONG. DO NOT GET APATHETIC OR COMFORTABLE. DO NOT DECIDE YOU DON’T NEED TO VOTE BECAUSE YOU’RE SURE HILLARY WILL WIN. the only way trump can win now is if so many people expected to vote for hillary don’t show up to the polls. because you BETTER believe ALL of his supporters will be at the polls.
brexit passed in the UK because young people grew apathetic because they were sure it wasn’t going to pass. and it did, because old racists and xenophobes showed up in DROVES to vote.
tl;dr: VOTE, PEOPLE. VOTE LIKE YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT. IT MIGHT.

things that made me stop wanting to die that require no effort whatsoever
change the color used to highlight text on your laptop
move the pictures on your wall
stack whatever clutter is in your room into piles even if you don’t have time to clean it all
slightly vary your commute, even just by one street
change where you sit and scroll aimlessly on your phone even if it’s only to the chair in your room instead of your bed
drink water or juice out of a wine glass in the morning because nothing is real
shower with the lights off, without music
buy $3 flowers at trader joe’s—they look bad next to the more expensive ones but they look so good in your room
start typing things you don’t post into your notes. your thoughts can be worth documenting even if you don’t deem them worth sharing
wake up super early just once. you don’t have to make it a habit it’s just extra satisfying to go to bed that night
listen to the entirety of your favorite album from 2015

pro-AI in the sense of "they taught a bread scanning computer to recognize cancer cells" etc etc
against AI in the sense of "we stole artwork from hundreds to thousands of artists, didn't credit them and didn't financially compensate them"
