Scribbler, office rat, madman, coward, survivor of all my fandoms being stolen by fashies, and still mad about Kronstadt.

Mostly here for writing accountability shit.

Fuck the king.

Deranged take on the typeface debate:

When working on a draft, I use Comic Sans 😬

It’s so stupid, so unserious…and tbh feeling stupid and unserious knocks out a lot of the mental blocks

And changing to Arial/TNR/Calibri (depending on the project) when the edit’s done is a nice finish line treat

The app itself has also been hot garbage for the last six months. And it wasn’t exactly purring like a beloved shitbox before
Duolingo announced it was going “AI-first” just over six months ago. Since then its stock is down 64%.

I’m just gonna go ahead and assume every writer is currently being spammed by job ads from LinkedIn that list as “Author”, “Creative Writer”, “Writer (Gaming)” but are really just “Help Train AI to Eliminate the Posted Job”

Actual dialogue just now (I turned on the tree lights while she was in her high chair)

Me: That’s a Christmas tree. Can you say “Christmas”?

Syl (pushing herself out of the chair to get enough air behind it): BITCHIN!!!

50/50 chance in the next year Musk and the rest of the manosphere are going to suddenly discover Paradise Lost and Stanley Fish, and reader-response is suddenly going to become a rightwing literarature thesis topic 🙄

R&G Are Dead was the first play I ever directed. It prob wasn’t the best show to pick for the school at the time, but it was definitely the most fun I had creatively in the 7yrs I was there

Plus the two leads were insanely talented and hungry for the challenge. And they nailed it

idk why but I feel it’s important to point out that the tree being plucked in this situation is an eastern black walnut, which is fairly rare in VT and only really grows in our exact little corner

it’s also an immaculate wood to work so I do sympathize with the fucker’s salivating over it

A red squirrel (aka the REAL Red Menace) has been piling walnut husks on our front porch

It’s been endearing, despite the mess

This morning it made a threatening chirp at us and scared Sylvie as we left the house

I am considering committing WWI-Canadian-Army-level violence on this fucker

Syl just pointed out the window and yelled “Pretty! Pretty!”

We took it as a teaching moment, and explained to her that “pretty” and “November” are what’re called “antonyms”

It's profoundly different to cover a U.S. president than state or local officials, and too, much harder to vent publicly if you're female. But if in my reporting days, if anyone from a police sergeant to the mayor of Baltimore told me, "Quiet, piggy," I'd immediately insist he go fuck himself.

Non-zero chance he gets charged, flees to one of his pals in Argentina or Hungary or wherever, claims persecution, and tries to rule from abroad

More likely none of this goes anywhere obv, but if it does, that feels like his play. The most un-clean break possible, and one we are least ready for 🙃

Look, all I’m gonna say on The Current Topic is that moderation needs to be consistent - if you’re gonna drop the hammer for quoting song lyrics and getting pissed about child rapists, yet you let slide accounts that say trans people shouldn’t exist, then yeah, there’s gonna be some questions.

When one of my relatives was in the throes of late-stage Alzheimer’s, her kids & grandkids used large-print nametags to help her remember who they were when they came to visit.

Anyway…

In honor of last night's victory by a progressive, I offer this memory of the greatest big-city mayor in U.S. history, a man of the left who also governed as a socialist. If Mr. Mamdani goes on WNYC this Sunday and reads the funny papers to kids my heart will burst.
