art isn’t always going to make you comfortable. it’s treating art in this puritan sense where it has to please you, then it’s just a consumerist product… and we have these storefronts (payment processors too) constantly dictating what counts as art. in hypocritical ways. it’s grim really.

One of my goals going into 2026 is making more space for reading for fun, I didn't get through nearly as much as I wanted though borrowing from the library on a deadline certainly helped

My dogs are completely apathetic about their toys until I put them in a pile/basket and then suddenly the joy is in taking everything out and littering the house with them, before subsequently going back to ignoring them again

If you like fantasy novels that start with gay pining which then descend further into a dissection of gender, desire and consent, I have great news for you

Time for more Stormforks revisions this morning! Fleshing out several secondary characters better before I figure out the finer details of where specifically to target these bigger revision bullet points.

It really feels like righting someone terrible in the universe when I run the carpet cleaner over the living room rug and then dump the ABSOLUTELY FILTHY WATER. incredibly satisfying even though each time I wanna know how the fuck the rug gets so dirty

It's a Month of Rain & Reads, and I just secured a batch of leftover pastries from the cafe on the corner.
That'll go fine with this interview with Nicole Evans ( @thoughtsstained.bsky.social ) while the rain is coming down hard outside.
