The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive

i posted a few new chapters of my novel that have finally left editing hell. may i offer you some not so cozy, medievalism enjoyer, character focused, tight interpersonal tension fantasy?

every time i see people complain about sexy romantasy heroines who are just flawless except for their low self esteem and they’re all 19 i have to choke down the fact that i have in my hands a weird little ugly woman learning to be friends for the first time at age 25 and it just ain’t done yet

- get in loser we are exploring how magic makes problems worse
- hi i studied archaeology and in spite of using modern vernacular for legibility i have a tight fascination on medievalism that bleeds into this work like nothing else does
- Not A Romance. but still very much about Love.

i feel like my summary still doesn’t quite represent the appeal so let me elevator pitch:
- protagonists who are academics from 25-26 with none of the dark academia BS
- magic system seen thru the eyes of a specialist
- disabled ND woman lead written by one
- CLASS POLITICS? in my high fantasy?

far from the only issue with this, but the notion that the working class is not productive is patently wrong in the US. it has only gotten moreso since the 80s too— it’s that corporate losses and financiers have had dramatic losses and half the economy is their investment speculation/priv equity

the new kamisama kiss season is out and i’m just thinking about the rise of fascism

you know what i miss most is getting to post about normie girl shit

dehumanization to create fear, if you would

there’s this demented thing i’ve noticed with conservatives viewing law enforcement and military as inevitable entities like a speeding train or a storm— something they have no power over. they are unable to fathom that these are individual people who make choices, governed by changeable laws.

ICE killing #AlexPretti should remind you of police killing #PhilandoCastille. Both men had concealed weapon permits, did not draw their guns, & were killed in Minn. These homicides are the price of unaccountable policing. These deaths are variations on the same fatal theme.

npr, he was shot in the back multiple times. he was executed on the street. they disarmed, pistol whipped, and executed him, now are lying about and slandering his character. all for the crime of helping a woman up and filming people with his phone.

that’s me and i want tim hortons to have breakfast tacos i can get with my timbits

I am seeing quite a few nurses calling for a nationwide strike over the killing of Alex Pretti. I think we are seeing one of the largest workforces being radicalized before our very eyes.

i understand everyone yelling about this and they’re right to but this isn’t even the first time this has happened; the last few children’s “centers” like this were also in texas

Jeff Wheeler, The Minnesota Star Tribune

Minnesotans are showing the soul of the United States to the world.

The statement from Alex Pretti’s parents is just “tell the government to stop telling smirking, transparent lies about why it killed our son” which feels like a new low for our nation. This president and his toadies have brought us to our knees and must be driven out

A video of Alex Pretti reading out the final salute of an unnamed veteran he cared for until the end of his life in the ICU, posted to Facebook by his son.

there is no hell cold or deep enough for pam bondi, stephen miller, and their deranged cronies

In my view, repression at home and thuggery abroad - most recently Greenland - are two sides of the same coin. Both reflect the worldview of people who think violence, power, threat and coercion are all that's required to push your agenda through & secure your interests.

bessent should know better than anybody how fucking funny it would be if europe dumped their bonds because of this

Boromir from THE LORD OF THE RINGS, holding The One Ring. He thought he could use it for good, but everything done with the ring turns to evil. He was one of the mightiest warriors of middle earth, and he could not resist its powers. Others even mightier fell to the ring. Do you think you are stronger than them? The One Ring is generative AI.

Techbros seem to love Tolkien, so here's an analogy to help you understand what genAI is.

GenAI is The One Ring. You think your use is justified, b/c you don't have evil in your heart.

But it came from evil, it is intended for evil purpose, & anything you do with it will be twisted to that end.
