i feel like we'll never know unless we keep trying the "not writing" strategy. not writing is basically innovation in the field

god's 3 hour podcast reviewing human fallibility and the humble anteater

It's beginning to look a lot like Thursday!

i've really robbed myself of this small joy

what is the point of writing characters that don't know the word "trachea"

the thing is that i have a lot of really interesting opinions and contributions until i get on the opinion app for sharing your opinions, at which point i go completely blank

balatro, shockingly, is real fun to play

and right to be

thank yousooo much @rimonhadassah.bsky.social for the rec, and i hope @kateorman.bsky.social doesn't mind another ping so i can say Loved Your Work!!

i was so relieved that joanna and shackle were both okay - what brilliantly tragic characters!!!! also loved the romance of it all. beautiful. very fun. SUCH a delightful read.

just finished vampire science and WOW, i loved it so much!! there's a fuck ton of theater in my family background & james felt so, so close to home. very well-crafted book with a lot to say and it often hurt my heart.

... oh, carolyn is grace. everything makes sense now.

it's from "vampire science" by kate orman and jonathan blum, which is an EDA (eighth doctor adventure) from '97, while the show (dr who) was off the air. it's good!

pop quiz hotshot !!! what do you believe in!!!!!!!!

....... the immortal snail. the *immortal snail*

really really fun to see "vampire attack as sexual assault" - or at least a reaction from sam that is all-too-recognizable - from a perspective that is interested in the experience of "victimhood," whatever that means. i wish i'd read this several months ago (but am very glad to be reading it now)

move over "pyramid at the end of the world," vampire science is here

...(while still being recognizably Her), and I love when she has things to say about gender and love. Got a little nervous at the end, and I wished the book had spent more time there, but it was such an enjoyable read. Good use of a thesis grant, lol.

Also read Princess Floralinda and the Forty-Flight Tower over the past few days - I've got a physical copy and wanted something to read in the car - and it's a fantastic time. I really missed reading Muir. I love the exacting control she has over her prose voice and its changeability(...)

<3 <3! I'm so fascinated as a SFF writer about the space between writing for an established IP and fanwork, and how one juggles all that, and how the Dr Who fandom reacted to EDAs... but I've got to finish reading the book before trying to pick anyone's brain!

this is objectively true

also if this is becoming a media log, i started eldin ring yesterday. i have to say - and i assume this is a perfectly novel observation - that game is difficult!!!!

(i've never read an EDA before, but rimon insisted, and per usual they were right on the money)

still not sure how to use this space, but i will say i've been reading @kateorman.bsky.social's Vampire Science and goddamn, it is so much fun (and so well-done). the prose voice is snappy and brilliant & every character is immediately fascinating - such a delight!!
