Guess who learned not to read Poe before bed? Also, I cannot decide how I feel about the orangutan story... Was it racist or not?!

But then... How will *I* get all those extra cookies? 🤔 #ProRaisin 🤣

I genuinely wonder if it isn't a coping mechanism that people pick something this pointless to be angry about so they can ignore more important things? Because why else would it matter? I just- Ugh.

I was not warned that when writing a book you love, it's a lot like *reading* a book you love but in painful, agonizing slooooooooooow mooootion. I know what the ending is already but when the hell will I finally reach it and be done?!

Had no idea this was a thing. Are people just... Out of more important things to care about caaaauseee... Uh. They shouldn't be. 😐

See, I like the raisin cookies, which means I get LOTS of extra cookies no one wants. 😂

Try "If fentanyl is real, then why isn't it in the Bible?" 🤡 They loooove that shit.

Also age gaps between timeless beings (deities, magical beings, etc.) where human rules don't apply. Like... Yeah sure, age gap, but also... So what?😬

I hate the dentist. Because dentistry is painful and expensive? No. Because every time I ask them to take all my teeth at once instead of one-by-one torturously, they laugh.
Where are my indestructible metal teeth? Just give me THOSE.

Oh god. Top five hated tropes for sure. 💀

If you ever feel unqualified to write about something or like an imposter, just remember that no living historian is a Roman, but we have PLENTY of books on Rome.
Do your research responsibly, then enjoy your writing.

Husband and I are going on a classic-lit kick together and I'm eyeing the Icelandic translation of Dracula called "Powers of Darkness" by Aldimar Ásmundsson. The original Dracula read like a comedy to me, so this will be fun.

This is gonna be another year of "cope however the hell you need to, just don't murder if you can help it." lol

I can't stand people in general for this reason. I just can't. Not because I believe humanity is a lost cause, but because in terms of numbers our behavior is appalling with no way of knowing *who* are the worst of us, walking among us...

“For most of human history, freedom had to be at least suffered for, if not died for, and that raised its value to something almost sacred.”

This right here's my coping mechanism. Yup. lol

When you write dystopian fiction to cope with the dystopian reality... I'm fine.

Excellent plans. 10/10.

“One of the greatest problems of history is that the concepts of love and power are usually contrasted as polar opposites. Love is identified with a resignation of power and power with a denial of love. What is needed is a realization that power without love is reckless and abusive and that love without power is sentimental and anemic. Power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice. Justice at its best is love correcting everything that stands against love.” –"The Autobiography of Martin Luther King, Jr.," 1986

It is the Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr's birthday.

Dream all you want, but only action can bend the arc of the moral universe toward justice.

And to do that, we'll need to combine power and love:

Do you feel more or less interested in cosmic horror with current events?
It makes me feel better, but maybe that's just me. 😬

And then writing the paperwork for making the dilutions. 🙃 Such fun!

a man in a suit and tie is holding a yellow sign that says hopes and dreams Alt: A man in a suit sits at a desk stacking is pile of papers into a neat stack with label "hopes and dreams", then dead-pan throws them up in the air.

Not gonna fight it anymore. My 700 page pet-project has captivated my brain and completely derailed any publishable projects I had in the works for another month at least.

On the other hand, it's fun.
