working on this novel, but also sporadically dabbling in a (very, very, very) old fandom and delighting in it. I have missed godawful jokes and pure slapstick with my entire soul
two projects at once is not a bad idea, especially if they're emotional opposites and can help when one gets too heavy

spent like a couple days on furlough tapping stuff out and did it. as much as I believe you can and should abandon things when you're no longer interested, I also believe that it's critical to be able to see a work through to completion, and you should be finishing work more often than not

Day 43 of furlough: thanks to the valiant efforts of airline industry lobbyists, the furlough ends tonight. minus some (commendable but temporary) fed worker protections, this entire exercise accomplished nothing except for wasting taxpayers billions of dollars and impoverishing people
Day 42 of furlough: healing myself with Schubert lieder, in particular this divine performance by Barbara Bonney

the urge to write a short story where the A-plot is told like the B-plot because it's narrated by a character with little to no interest in the A-plot

Day 37 of furlough: "Wow, I've never done so much writing in two days," I say, impressed with my newfound creativity and commitment, until I realize it's just the Sudafed for my sinus infection
Day 34 of furlough:

Day 27 of furlough: reposting this - if you have a dime to spare, please, please donate to your local food bank or pantry. We're about to experience an unprecedented surge in hunger.

Hm, a care package is a nice gesture, I guess, but I would have preferred your husband not financing and fundraising for the operation that led to me and three-quarters of a million people going unpaid.

the staff on this site botched comms so badly that now people are freaking out over the use of AI to automatically filter images (a thing that all social media websites do because the alternative is making your mods manually review thousands of images of gore and CSAM per hour)

I have been enjoying Bluesky thus far with the occasional bumps here and there, but I have serious apprehensions about the site's long-term viability if the CEO is going to behave like a teenager subtweeting her ops.
