If not poetry in general. No, those fuckers need to be held by the hand through damn near everything.

"The prose is too much!"

Someone's neither been so in love nor been so horny they'd want to move heaven and earth for another person, evidently.

What I find baffling about that first line of criticism is... yes, it is? It's developed through the relationship between the two leads, and built upon layers upon layers of inference. It's world building with emotion rather than with a goddamn wiki.

I wish nerds didn't hate emotive expression.

Friends, I do believe I’ve eaten well this year.

Oh, and to shout out a comic or two?

I am well-fed and well-rested, and it’s a holiday.

I think I’d like to spend the day indolent and reading.

you have to kill the devil's advocate in your brain when you're writing, you have to smother the imaginary bad faith reader that lives in your head. Trying to please the voice that tells you the person reading your work is ignorant/malicious is a mind-killer. There are better ways to create cohesion

All the world’s a stage, but does it have to be such a lousy production?

Terry even cried when she left by the end of the party.

Tonight, one of my aunts met Terry for the first time... and she brought TREATS.

"I want to be the best dog aunt."

Which... awww... that's so sweet!

Philby Bear @philbybear.bsky.social · 2d

I'm in a pretty good mood, I have to say.

Ran two great sessions over the past few days, Terry's training course went well (he's made substantial progress, and I'm happy to say I've learned a trick or two myself), and today?

Today we're having Canadian Thanksgiving with the whole family.

Roger Vadim's Barbarella was released 57 years ago today.

"In the 41st century, an astronaut partakes in sexy misadventures while seeking to stop an evil scientist who threatens to unleash a powerful weapon upon the galaxy."

Such a 1968 movie.
