i love it when the Blorbo Fever is so so so so strong you can’t see an incredibly normal video of some animals without thinking of them

I think a lot about how [if the archive stays up & accessible for the next 50+ years] my gmail inbox may continue to get daily ao3 kudo emails even after I'm dead and gone. there's a weird little sense of comfort in that. our words outlasting us and continuing to have meaning to people in the future

ao3 kudos emails are a beautiful reminder of how fandom is so everlasting. like, someone might read smth i wrote over a decade ago, rejoicing in a new fandom for the very first time, & i may have forgotten that singular joy, but someone will follow in my footsteps. and it's right there in my inbox.

Power couple power kissing

Simon and Johnny locking lips during an excursion together. It’s a kinda kiss where you press ur lips so hard against the others because you just can’t get any closer. Wish I knew what that was like BUT I CAN IMAGINE IT.

The whole point of fanart, fanfics, fanworks, is to make it yourself, as a fan, out of love, passion, spite, horniness—whatever drives and inspires you, as a human, to create. GenAI has no place in fandom, and it's gross and disingenuous to include the usage of it, especially without disclosure,

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

all discourse aside, there is one machine with consciousness. it's printers. they are alive and conscious and they hate you and they'd take your arm clean off if you let them. never trust a printer.

There's a lot of received wisdom about what motivates readers to preorder, but I've been wondering if cold hard data can back that up -- so I'm doing SCIENCE!
