with the Olympics coming up, I cannot recommend enough just picking random sports and getting really into them at a moment's notice

did I know anything about women's foil before the last Olympics? I did not

did I become the world's biggest Lee Kiefer fan immediately? absolutely I did

You joke but I literally had to tell an endocrinologist that if they didn't help me immediately I would start doing infamously dangerous "home remedy" stuff and ordering meds off the internet

They were gonna "run some tests and wait and see" for several months while I could barely get out of bed

And when I say "a lot of people" I mean whole churches and even whole denominational Sunday school operations missed the point entirely and handed out instructions that skipped the giving aspect entirely

In my defense I was struggling with my relationship with food and a fast of any length at all might've spiraled into a much worse health outcome

The point was *supposed to be* that you figure up whatever you would've spent on food and donate it to famine relief for Ethiopia, but like the Ice Bucket Challenge and ALS, a lot of people just did the fast for clout without donating

I did it backwards, gave a week's allowance but kept eating

So I know a Drabble is exactly 100 words, and low multiples of 100 are double/triple/etc.-drabbles, but my question is, do we call a story of exactly 1000 words a Picture? Since that's what it's worth?

Of *course* the moneyed perverts would reinvent forcefem IRL

Screw it, let the billionaires launch themselves to some kind of Ayn Rand wet dream Mars colony, I don't want to be on the same planet with them anymore

I'm fully convinced they were running an Old Dorley somewhere on that island.

"Creep who doesn't believe women can orgasm because he's never seen it happen" is a common type of creep, unsurprisingly

It honestly makes The Literature look tame by comparison. I'm 1000% convinced they were doing forcefem along with everything else.

Yeah I didn't wanna say "Oh fuck they did Old Dorley but for real" but it looks like they might've done Old Dorley but for real

I figure that might be a pay cut compared to having them as Patreon exclusives though

I kinda wish more creators felt comfortable to put up patreons (or similar) and offer nothing guaranteed in return.

Like, I like the stuff you make, and I'd like you to have slightly better financial stability to be able to make more. I don't need a new thing every month to justify that.

I'm imagining an edition of WYFfH that's published as a boxed set of Sweet Valley High-sized volumes

Maybe some kind of auto-triggering macro for when you hit 20k words?

My paradigm is so screwed up I feel like "short" = "not long enough to be publishable as a standalone novella"

If you were on the same list I mentioned above you would have been blocked from interacting with me.

You're not showing labeled as being on any lists at all on my end. Clearsky is buggy as hell and will show you stuff that's not accurate sometimes.

That said, making "why clout number no go up" your entire personality is unwell behavior. This isn't Twitter.

I feel like Billy Corgan somehow hasn't seen it, otherwise I would've heard about the lawsuit
