i guess! i do check language of course but in a "this is unclear / this doesn't flow well" way rather than "you're ending this sentence with a preposition and that's not correct" way

i really miss betaing!! i don't really miss writing fic, i do so much other writing and i'm sure i'll come back to it at some point, but i miss actually contributing to the fandoms i'm in and making friends that way, especially doing what i think of as fic dramaturgy for other people

taps aff!! as we say in scotland when the temperature exceeds 10 celcius

correct

Hackers Expose Age-Verification Software Powering Surveillance Web Three hacktivists tried to find a workaround to Discord’s age-verification software. Instead, they found its frontend exposed to the open internet.

Oops. Turns out Persona, Discord’s age-verification service, was secretly screening selfies against government watchlists AND accessible by the feds. It's backed by Peter Thiel.

I want to point out that Lara Naki Gutmann has an honest to goodness point-your-toe-to-the-roof spiral in her program and it is so lovely and refreshing to see one of these in 2026.

today i learned!!

“why do you hate technology” as though “technology” were some discrete entity divorced entirely from the context of what it does and what it creates, rather than a category so broad as to constitute reality itself

a thing i like about assasins creed is that if you run through a town people start screaming and freaking out, which i think is how everyone should respond when they see joggers tbh

yes!!!

you can really blow some minds with “actually there was an entire library and research institute for queer / trans history, science and medicine founded by a Jewish sexologist but the Nazis destroyed it in the hopes of exactly this outcome, ie future generations not believing trans people are real”

oh noooo amber baby

KAORI SAKAMOTO LOVE OF MY LIFE

PANEL 1: MATTIE, standing outside a building that has a huge glowing eyeball affixed to the door. A GUY leans out the window. MATTIE: EXCUSE ME? GUY: Yeah? PANEL 2: Closer in on the GUY and the eyeball. He gestures a thumb at it. MATTIE (VO): What's with the big eyeball? GUY: A wizard sold me that – it watches every single thing that goes on and tells me! GUY: I think the wizard can see it too. I guess. He wasn't clear on that. PANEL 3: The first shot again. The EYEBALL speaks. The GUY shrugs. MATTIE spreads her arms wide. EYEBALL: ANGRY WOMAN OUTSIDE MATTIE: Isn't that a violation of the social contract? GUY: I guess so! PANEL 4: Close in on the GUY. He holds up a scroll that says "Special" in ornate script. GUY: No, no. Wizard also sold me an exception to that. EYEBALL (VO): WOMAN MEAT GOOD FOR SPELL COMPONENTS

can't think of a better example of how figure skating exists in a weird bubble than the abundance of michael jackson programmes, i can't remember a single event without at least one MJ medley

Bernie Sanders meme edited to read "I am once again asking for the men to match their partners' swag in figure skating costumes"

Getting invested re: Pairs was my fourth mistake

watching the alpine skiing makes me understand what it must be like for non-fs people to watch ice dance.
skier: neatly executing what looks like controlled and beautiful turns going one hundred miles an hour
commentator: oh huge mistake there, what a mess she'll be lucky to finish in 20th
