The Midnight Baker Who Bakes at Midnight. She/her (they/m in a pinch), religion: cake. Baked devotionals and other offbeat stuff at feraltomatoes.com. No worries, my existence infuriates me too.
Oh thank god I'm not the only one

Is it like, "we want this Type of cat, so we'll ask that Type of human?"

I've been known to make beef and broccoli sauce and only put in broccoli...

And of course this is the time when what I really want to be doing is drawing like 10 things I've got backed up and cementing both a comprehensive scene order and a daily word goal.

And that's not even accounting for all the other bullshit.

Don't encourage early reading, y'all. Myopia f'n sucks.

So far it's mostly bothersome when reading on a screen bigger than a phone. Hopefully it starts to melt as it descends, and falls faster as it goes. Hopefully, I won't have to reset all my screens and have to explain to people that no, I don't just need new/cleaner glasses.

I'd noticed it before, against a bright sky, hanging there in an ominous band. I gave thanks that it hadn't materialized over the fovea, and went about my business. Last month it looked lower than before, and a few days ago I started getting blur that blinking wouldn't clear.

I think I said "what would you do if it didn't?" and we had a whole brainstorm session on what would and (mostly) wouldn't happen.

Ah, thanks for the refresher. I'd been thinking it was eugenol, like cloves.
