A friend asked about dream interpretation, which inspired me to see if the dream dictionary that I had as a teenage occultist is still in print. Not only does Amazon still carry the same bright purple edition, you can also get some bonus marriage drama!

This is just to say
I have looked on
the works
that were in
the desert
and which
you were probably
thinking
would still stand
Forgive me
they were trunkless
so vast
and so old
I have looked on

Forgive me

Once upon a desert sandy
As through winds the trav'ling man he
Spied the face of Ozymandy
Lying, simply lying there
Suddenly there was some writing
Pon the plinth that he was sighting
That the sand and time were blighting
Quoth the statue, "Now despair"
As through winds the trav'ling man he
Spied the face of Ozymandy
Lying, simply lying there
Suddenly there was some writing
Pon the plinth that he was sighting
That the sand and time were blighting
Quoth the statue, "Now despair"
There was an old man you could gaze
At his works in despair in a daze
If you looked upon them
And were mere mortal men
'Ozymandias mighty', it says

I dreamt that I met a friend who died a few years ago IRL. He told me he's "working for LinkedIn now"

What WotC has done, with collaboration from AP producers & fandom, is taken everything creative and *un-D&D* about great tabletop campaigns with romance, intrigue, etc., and gaslit the world into thinking D&D, the Product, offers those experiences. It does not. It offers tomb raiding & skill checks.

First-person narration is not a replacement for characterization. I am so tired of books that are full of "I did such-and-such and felt such-and-such way about it"
Tell me your most unhinged literary opinion, as a little treat

Once I was listening to Organum on my commute, and a woman next to me on the train was telling someone on the phone that a family member had died "just sitting in his chair", and I assumed it was a sample and was EXTREMELY disoriented when she thanked the person for listening and got up
A few years ago I played Godspeed You! Black Emperor for my girlfriend for the first time and I had to stop the record because she didn’t realize that the loud crashing sound we heard wasn’t part of the record and there was a dude outside with his car in our neighbor’s tree

The first rule of Cassandras Club is you tell everyone about Cassandras Club and they don't believe you.
Weird thing where people say “no one could have predicted it” when really what they mean is their political commitments and orientation were such that they ignored everyone who was predicting it
Sorry but “no one could have“ and you having your head stuck up your ass are two different situations

Hey there Delilah
I am writing the Quixote
Adding hermeneutic weight to
what Miguel wrought crude and floaty
Vis-à-vis
The work— attributed to me?
Or only he?

Me, laying beside my AI chatbot: Please, tell me you love me, just one last time...
My AI chatbot: I lo-

My AI chatbot: bees, black and yellow
they fly in the air a lot
careful or they'll sting!

I dreamt that Woody Allen's Wikipedia entry said that his birth name was Woody Harrelson, which feels like an extremely ChatGPT thing for my subconscious to come up with.
