I am more surprised than i should be that the top ao3 ship is carl/system ai

On a similar note, as Mamdani continues to notch W after W you’re going to start seeing opinion pieces about how this could never work in any city other than New York, etc., etc. Do not engage! It’s just entrenched power bullshit and that’s all! Don’t let them make that a conversation!

Not me reading the entire dungeon crawler carl series in a week

Telling people at work I'm quitting is truly turning into a repeating break up.
"It's not you, it's me (except it actually is about you)"

Desperately and furvently: i am a mature adult and i can handle what i need to do in this tax office

[ENGLISH ALT-TEXT] A surreal artwork in warm sepia and gold tones. A masked woman, Lilith, kneels on a wooden scaffold and carves a marble wall covered with the relief of a tree heavy with fruit. A golden serpent winds around her, its sinuous body catching the light. Below, the fragmented head of a colossal statue lies half-buried in stone. Thin lines of gold run through the composition like veins of memory, linking Lilith’s gesture, the serpent, and the fallen face. The atmosphere is quiet, sacred, and timeless. [FRANÇAIS TEXTE ALTERNATIF] Une œuvre onirique aux teintes sépia et dorées. Une femme masquée, Lilith, agenouillée sur un échafaudage de bois, sculpte dans le marbre la façade d’un arbre chargé de fruits. Autour d’elle, le Serpent d’Or s’enroule, son corps lumineux suivant le mouvement de la main qui taille. En dessous repose la tête brisée d’une statue colossale. De fines lignes d’or traversent la scène, reliant le geste de Lilith, le serpent et le visage effondré. L’atmosphère est silencieuse, sacrée, hors du temps.

"Lilith in the Valley of a Thousand Sculptures" — detail.

Good morning!

February marks the 10th anniversary of Stardew Valley. I had the great pleasure of speaking to ConcernedApe ahead of the occasion about the last ten years and his plans for the future. It's a nice long one, please enjoy:

Every day Mamdani comes out and is like "hey guys, I turned off the orphan-crushing machine. Literally just had to flip a switch. Took less than 5 minutes."

After decades of dem leadership pissing and moaning and fundraising about how complex an issue it is and how difficult the process is etc

The more trailers i see for the wuthering heights movie, the more i am convinced that its going to be terrible. Wuthering heights isn't a romance (lowercase), its an AITA post where ESH, which /is/ very Romantic (uppercase)

Buried in this article is the astonishing news that "Across the state Democrats have recruited candidates to run in all 150 state House districts, 16 state Senate districts and every other state and federal contest on the ballot". G-d bless Texas, get on their level.

Having work done at new house and the plumber fully had to wake me up from a nap to pay him

Fellow writers: I am deeply saddened to share that if we want the rewards of having written, we must submit to the mortifying ordeal of writing

Life is happening very much a lot today to me (positive)(nervewracking)

I accidentally wrote another star wars salty email fic

Next week I'll be revealing the full (gorgeous) cover of my upcoming book, but for now here's a teaser and some character intros!

The wonderful art on the intro cards is by @feral-philosopher.bsky.social, who captured their personalities so so well. I'm excited for everyone to meet these three!

My flabbers are gasted at the sheer fucking gall to jump into a 50k fic and tell the author what they should have done differently

Ao3 comment like: hello why didn't you write the fic that i wanted
Me responding: as an author, sometimes I am Doing Things On Purpose For Narrative Reasons

Circumstances in my life are A Lot right now but at the very least i live with small furry creatures who love to give affection

When i was a kid i would read this one series at my grandma's library and i have no idea what it was called but have the STRONGEST mental picture of the cover

White and emerald green ceramic coffee mug that says "people displeaser" in a typewriter-like font. Mug is displayed against a dark, patterned rug.

My mom got me a mug from @idaolson.bsky.social for Christmas. I love how smooth and comfy to hold the handle on this is!! Its also a very generous size so i can have a nice big coffee out of it

My family does christmas eve charcuterie instead of a solid meal. We do nibbles in the themed holiday jammies my mom makes us wear

🤝

Also, i am discovering that my bad habit of not balling a skein of yarn before a project really is a pain in the ass. Will i stop? No, i have resigned myself to it

This season of shows has been so good to me between heated rivalry and the mighty nein

She's out there fighting for her life in fandom and meanwhile I'm like "i like the main character actually, which is why i like the media in general"

The funniest thing about my roommate is that I can easily tell who her favorite character in a piece of media will be, and its always a side character

One way to reduce stress is to meditate. Another way is to not live under a fascist government. This has been wellness tips!
