it's just CRAZY to me that the platform we used to talk to astronauts and find friends and build revolution and help each other through natural disasters is now a distribution system for white supremacy.

1/2 As I focus more strongly on my original work and the fandom space has been becoming somehow even more toxic and awful over the past 6-12 months, I've been seriously considering removing the bulk of my fandom presence from all but some trusted discords.

I'm also considering revamping

When you tell the 8 year old not to do something and explain the reason when asked why, and are unexpectedly met with:

"Mmm... That -does- seem like the responsible decision. Thanks."

I.... Is this my child? Is this a changeling? What's happening??

"It has become rare for people in Hollywood to go on the record to defend someone accused of sexual misconduct. But in [this case], those who spoke with Variety say they were so confused and outraged by Wineman’s lawsuit against Fuller that they opted to be named."

Hannibal has burrowed its way so far into my brain and nested in there so completely that I'm struggling to focus on projects I've opted to work on for NaNo.

As though the dark, antlered Hannigram stand in the corner judging me: "we should be first", waiting impatiently for me to write fic...

How very dare this person insult the world's greatest author THE Chuck Tingle, author of such classics as Camp Damascus, Space Raptor Butt Invasion, and the unforgettable Pounded by The Pound: Turned Gay by the Socioeconomic Implications of Britain Leaving the European Union.

No AI is that creative
i know folks just kind of SAY things online and especially with young buckaroos there are just 'lines' that get tossed around endlessly online (not the hero we need etc. etc.) but i would just like to take a moment and mention something about this particular 'line'

It's the evening of Nov 1st and I'm only just now able to settle in and start on #NaNoWriMo. I've been excited for #NaNo for WEEKS, but this week has already been exhausting and stressful and as I sit down at my desk to write I'm suddenly questioning what to work on and whether I should just sleep

One unexpected thing in my qualitative study w natural scientists (one-hour interviews) is how deeply, deeply sad the climate scientists are. They say things like "you have enough information from us, why won't anyone act?" -- the psychological distress these people are enduring is very great.

Bullet journal spread for the week ahead! Last week of 'abundant flowers' theme for October. Not sure what to do for November, but it'll need to be something simpler with uni back this week and NaNo upcoming hahaha

I've really enjoyed all the colour though 💐💐💐💐

Maybe it's just me, but I read these in two entirely different ways.

"Woah" is more elongated in my brain and like when you're pulling up a horse.

"Whoa" is faster and can be an exclamation of disbelief (eg Keanu in the matrix)

🤷
Controversial question:

"Woah" or "Whoa"?

This is important.

Alrighty. I think I have everything I need to start drafting for one of my novels. Except for the protagonist's name. That's exciting!

Maybe I really should get off my butt make that author profile like I was going to way earlier in the week...

I had been wanting to keep this off the sky app but things are getting quite desperate as I'm now receiving letters and calls about utilities and water being cut off and being taken to collections. Full details can be found on the page, but in short I need urgent help

I have just been advised that The Book Grocer do book Advent calendar boxes?? For $160?? Which comes out to a naughty $6.66 per book? Which sounds very, very nice indeed.

So... Everyone that has been holding on and trying to still claim that "but she's not transphobic! She's never said or done anything openly transphobic!" (Even though she really, really, absolutely has) are all going to stop denying her transphobia now right? Right??

A little late with this week's #bujo spread, but I *have* done it! Second last week of the abundance of flowers theme. Time to start thinking about a theme for November.

Uni classes start back up next week too. Busy, busy!

the flawed idea is that creating art about monstrous things makes monstrous things happen in real life.

When, in fact, people make art about it because it happens.
