For everyone who is still extremely into whatever bullshit Quark and Odo have going on (mumble) years later

Enemies to Enemies is a DS9-inspired novella about what happens when a gelatinous shapeshifter gets turned human and suddenly has... urges

hot take but all political interviews, debates and speeches should be fact-checked live with an active lie tally in front of each participant, and if they hit more than three lies they’re disqualified from speaking, and if they do this at more than 3 events they lose their candidacy or their seat

I observe the Trans Day of Remembrance by LIVING and doing self care that I often don't have spoons for.

My room has been stressing me out for months because it needed a huge reorg, so I spent most of today doing that. There's more to be done but already it's a huge improvement and a big weight off

Never thought I'd say fuck the CDC but here we are I guess
CDC has overhauled its website to assert that “the claim ‘vaccines do not cause autism’ is not an evidence-based claim”

Speaking as someone whose "eh, close enough" goal is to pass as a gay white dude...

Holy fuck do gay white dudes need to get with the goddamn program

I just dropped favorite mug on my second favorite mug, broke both, and they're both handmade and irreplaceable and I use them for 90% of my drinks so I'm pretty fucking devastated rn

My cats on the cat tower just now:

Cat 1: looking out window

Cat 1: licks Cat 2's butt twice

Cat 1: resumes looking out window

It's kinda like if you were born intuitively feeling like the A button should be on the right, X should be up, B down, etc. but life hands you an Xbox controller and everyone gets super weird the moment you ask about button remapping.

New first draft! Having fun writing an autistic fae who hasn't been to the Surface since about 1920.

Zoho Writer spellcheck enshittification part 3000

That's it. I'm finally going to try Ellipsus. I can't handle this shit anymore.

I'm on the last two scenes of the borderline monsterfucking novella I'm revising, and...

On one hand I feel really self-conscious about how... out there this feels? It's weird and introspective and mushy as hell and TRANS, and dips its toes into monster-fucking without ever doing body horror

Left a self publishing group on Facebook ostensibly for helping new self pub authors, BC it was all about AI

'how are you using AI'? 'look at this cover I made using AI'. Ppl saying they use AI to "brainstorm", others who say they feed their own drafts into the plagiarism machine for "editing"

It's a bummer having to tell cis people what "flavor" of non-binary I am so that when they misgender me they at least do it in the correct direction.

I switched to Zoho Writer a couple of years ago when I couldn't trust Docs because at the time Zoho had decent stances on privacy and content.

But the enshittification of Zoho's spellcheck is becoming INFURIATING. Case in point: "unclench".
