Are you still preoccupied with 1985? Well then, have I got a DJ mix for you.

I made it for a family friend’s high school reunion in Scranton. So ensue silly “The Office” clip sometimes. But you know, all jams from 1980-1985. m.youtube.com/watch?v=LUGc...

My hot take is that none of these are structure. These are all recipes that describe structure.

Structure is the Salt, Fat, Acid Heat of writing.

3-Act/Hero's Journey etc are recipes.

You can make great meals without using a recipe if you understand the principles of structure.

So #WritingCommunity how do we feel about structure?

Do you use the 3 act structure? The 5 act?

Hero's Journey? Save the Cat? Super Structure Method? Story Genius Method?

Something else?

What have you got?

Went to the Flyers’ home opener (they won, eyyyyyy, take that, two-time Stanley Cup champions) and I have never seen rowdy Philly sports fans go so quiet, so quickly, as for the Bernie Parent tribute before the game.

Rightfully so.

This also places unreasonable, unlivable pressure on service workers, as does being surveilled on social media. People are not at their best at every moment. They get terse, they don’t smile, they act rushed. They might even be slightly impatient or impolite! None of this requires tattling.

I think businesses asking people to rate every single experience has furthered this damage. We shouldn't have this many opinions about this many things, and we certainly shouldn't expect other busy people to care if we do.

few ideas have damaged the average psyche more than ‘the customer is always right.’ it should be a little bit humiliating, being a customer. you should walk into any service transaction knowing that the other person, and not you, is in control over whether you get your treats

Why yes, I had, until now, consumed the media that Pacific Rim had wrought and liked those things, without having seen Pacific Rim. And I do think Pacific Rim was boring and weak and the media it inspired are, if not better, at least more interesting.
slashlyashley.bsky.social
Watched Pacific Rim last night while high because I knew it would be a dumb movie and it was indeed a dumb movie.

Husband: some people think their relationship can be read as platonic…

Me: I’m HIGH but I have EYES and have seen Darling in the Franxx and read Iron Widow and that is NOT platonic, no

Dunno whatever happened to Anchorsplash but damn do I miss the days of listening to this on repeat.

Looking for new Halloween songs and instead fell into my "I miss when turntable.fm was the coolest shit ever" trap. www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNLr...

I use a MacBook Pro M2 Max with 64 GB of RAM for DJing (bought used and purposefully overkill). Meanwhile I still make my videos for @shojoandtell.bsky.social using a 2020 Air because I hate myself 🫠
slashlyashley.bsky.social
I love it and also it’s horrible. Mostly only horrible when I have to wake up before 8am.

ME, at 11:45pm: let me just add cue points to a few songs before bed…

ME, now, at 1:30am, wired on awesome songs: fuck me I have to work tomorrow I have made a grave mistake
slashlyashley.bsky.social
Thanks! I think it’ll be alright, but you never know…

NJ already declared a state of emergency ahead of the nor’easter so I know I’m going to have a fun weekend already. Activities include bringing in half of the Halloween decorations I put out last weekend, deconstructing the sukkah early, hoping the chimney doesn’t leak, and so much more!

I like to think all Shojo & Tell episodes are good ones, but this one is an especially good one, probably because Horimiya is great (well, at least this first half is great...) and Caitlin and I have been geared up to do this episode for, I don't know, I lost track, several years at this point 😂
shojoandtell.bsky.social
New episode about the first half of Horimiya is out now!

@alltsunnodere.bsky.social joins to discuss this shonen series that’s often mistaken for a shojo. We talk about how it lovingly subverts many romance tropes, its exploration of kink play, and more.

Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/7HAL...
Volumes 1 and 9 of Horimiya, which feature Hori and Miyamura (back to back on vol 1, holding hands and facing forward on vol 9). The volumes are surrounded by various Halloween decorations.

Now if you’ll excuse me, it’s dark and like 40 degrees outside, which means it is time to get cozy and sleep.

If only I could listen to music while editing audio ahahahahahaha.... 10 minutes unedited audio left. But I might need an EDM hit soon. We'll see.
slashlyashley.bsky.social
Actually all I want to do is read my DJ books or manga, and then inevitably fall asleep 5 minutes later, but.... 12 mins unedited audio left.
