It feels almost presumptuous to have one of my 2026 goals to be preparing for something I'd like to do in 2027 but that requires significant lead time. Like, well, no, I can't think too hard about 2027 just yet, that year is still fully intangible. It might as well be 2827.

"Frankenstein is about [whatever] and anyone who says otherwise is wrong" being said about six different things; it's almost like Frankenstein is a thematically rich text and the reason it's a classic is because it can be approached from a lot of different standpoints and viewed through many lenses

Woke up at 2:30 am having stress dreams about wasps and I can’t tell if it’s because we literally found a couple wasps in the house yesterday or if it’s something else because all my stress dreams are always about insect and parasite infestations of various kinds anyway :) okay :) thanks brain :)

watching 15 year old kpop music videos feels like watching 100 year old olympic gymnastics videos. like I can't say the choreo is BAD, and indeed I am certain I could do none of it myself to begin with, but it feels PRIMITIVE compared to where the bar is now lmao

Last year, I wrote in the newsletter about my process for translating my horrible messy playtest notes into usable lists of action items (changes to make, further tests to do, decisions to make, etc). Guess what I'm doing today! mailchi.mp/794d1ec2f7e7...

Now that I have slept for 10 hours and recovered my ability to “think” and “feel”, I will do big Metatopia posts later, but I made a terrible mistake and somehow have a dentist appointment scheduled this morning, so it’s going to have to wait a little longer 😂

Straight up did not realize how tired I am until I stood in my kitchen to make a very basic meal that I have made hundreds of times and somehow did everything in the wrong order and put everything in the wrong place
