Thank you for you reply. In hindsight my reply might have read as flippant, which wasn't intended. It was a simpler complexity, if that makes sense?

Have you read The Texture of Memory? It's shatteringly good.

One of them is the epitome of competency pr0n. The other is... not.

I have never satisfactorily answered the question about why two of my all-time fave comfort watches involve the Soviets. (RED OCTOBER being the other of course.)

And by 'infrastructure', you mean 'will to live' and 'already fraying mental health', yeah?

Dementia runs in my family. If I hadn't already had the vaccine I would be banging on the door of my local pharmacy this morning.

Give to us our dumb tech, our software that doesn't try to do things for us, our fridges that are nothing but fridges, our cars with keys to turn, our physical buttons, give us disconnection, give us agency, give us our choice

Honestly, it nearly broke me.

RIGHT? Sorry but also not sorry at all.

❤️

21.02.2026 17:01 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0

Yes, love that also. ❤️ What's funny about this is the show in question really isn't about loss at all; it's the fan fiction.

I look forward to discussing.

21.02.2026 14:42 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0

Lmk what you think of it, if you read it. I want to talk about it!

21.02.2026 13:59 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 2 📌 0

It's ridiculous. 😃 I have never actually read fan fiction before.

It's just such a joy and a revelation to connect with art, and to connect with yourself through that art.

I think it's about ripping your heart into pieces and laying them out in front of yourself so you can put it back together in a new and better arrangement.

There's a thread about how we imbue a thing from the lost person's life with significance, how we hold it as an emblem of that person... But then to discover that the thing meant something completely different. It's so deftly done.

All in a smutty fan fiction about a TV show. I am in awe of the writing.
