I've thought really long and hard about this fic so why doesn't it have any kudos or comments yet

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:

"Posting, liking, and sharing content are consumerist practices that intensify the narrative crisis." --- Byung-Chul Han
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.

PSA: unless your food bank specifies otherwise, PLEASE donate money instead of goods! They have access to significant bulk discounts that you don't.

when you buy a home you are initiated into the sacred tradition of The Last Owners Were Idiots. this includes you, by the way. you are now an idiot. you will do colossally dumb things no one has ever thought of before

Day 21 of furlough: it's autumn, which means it's time to celebrate a masterpiece of uniquely American music---featuring legends of American opera, jazz, and theater

I am of course talking about Over the Garden Wall
Day 15 of furlough: (finished second nap, wearing pajamas at 4 PM) it's time for a critical re-appraisal of David Moo as Xellos
Day 1 of furlough: Just think of it like an unpaid vacation-slash-hostage-situation

Day 2 of furlough: can a Wegman's crumb cake fix me

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.

This is disturbing. There's no monetization or value in harassing AO3 users; it's just harassment as a service, automated bile, dehumanizing and algorithmically deploying nastiness on an internet that's less and less human, and for what?
this is so fucking ridiculous but its TRUE the new dipshit feature of 2025 is that there's a bunch of praise-hate ragebait bots set loose on AO3 comments rn. If you receive anything that sounds like this, it's a bot. I can't believe things are getting stupider!!!!!!!!

a week later the typos have been corrected, except for the typos I will not catch until six months from now when I'm scrolling back through it at 3 AM, as one does

the real problem with writing Jean is that his speech and syntax is convoluted in a way that isn't shared by other characters or even other humans. if his dialogue reads cleanly and clearly, it's wrong

not all word counts are created equal. the first 200 words of a chapter are worth approximately 1000 words anywhere else, that's just math

a niche complaint about the discord-ification of everything is that you miss out on a lot of conversations. when you wake up to a metric ton of kudos it means people are chatting about your work and you have no idea where

this one was almost Berdyayeva/Judit, but it didn't fit thematically. just know there's a draft where it happens!! you can see it if you fill in the blanks
Are you bewitched by Jean Vicquemares affair with Berdyayeva's daughter? Do you want to dig your teeth into Berdyayeva herself? Do you want to see Jean squirm?

Do I have a fic for you!
