With my outline done, I'm at about 20 scenes and 15 weeks, if I want to try and write the whole thing (and not post a single/multiple chapters at the drop date rather than the whole fic) - which sounds like a lot, and it is, but it feels really great to have the outline done?!

crinkly paper + fluffy toy is the BOMB

our new ikea bookcase came with some excellent crinkly tissue paper packing instead of those slim plastic foam sheets (a great sustainable upgrade tbh) that ALSO doubles as amazing free cat entertainment

all art is made from spite or horniness, and a computer cannot be spiteful or horny, so a computer should never make art

14. The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson - Took a bit to get going and it's doing a LOT, but I didn't expect it all to resolve in this first book. I ended up really enjoying the characters and really inventive worldbuilding and magic, curious to see where it goes from here! Also boy, it's loooong!

Happy annual Dracula Paprika Discourse Day to those who celebrate!
Galaxy brain meme:

Jonathan Harker
found paprika hendl spicy because he is pathetically English

Hungarian paprika ranges from mild to very spicy; it's perfectly possible our friend Jonathan was served the spicy stuff

"paprika hendl uses sweet paprika" recipes change quickly over time and place, Jonathan may have been served a regional variant

PAPRIKA USED TO BE SPICER holy shit it used to be spicier before sweeter peppers were cultivated in the 1920s. plus the machine to remove the spicy pith and seeds was only invented in the 1860s. 19th century Hungarian cuisine was simply spicier than its modern counterpart. not to mention how even "mild" paprika can cause indigestion which is why it's so

13. System Collapse by Martha Wells - I mean, I love Murderbot. This one in particular is so fun, with MB wrangling with some Trauma, along with some good action hijinks and space politics and banter between favorite characters. A delight all around!

12. Doppelganger by Naomi Klein - Nonfiction is challenging for me but this felt so timely, critical, and sharply aware. So many nuggets of concise clarity, with a throughline metaphor that really worked for me. Absolutely seminal for the moment right now, both infuriating and grounding truth.

11. Paladin's Strength by T. Kingfisher - Love the universe and characters, but this was weaker than Paladin's Grace. Still enjoyed the mystery but the romance was a little too long-drawn, and the chemistry between the leads was... fine. But it's competently written and decently fun!

Your "dumb little projects" are so important during this harrowing time. Don't forget that. Your creativity has value, for yourself and for the world.

THE RISE OF END TIMES FASCISM

My first major piece of the new Trump era, co-written with @astra.bsky.social.

The governing ideology of the far right has become a
monstrous, supremacist survivalism.

You could blame things like CinemaSins and TVTropes that define film in a plot-centric list-of-components way, but they're the symptom, not the disease: we devalued the humanities and embraced a culture that doesn't value subjective experience, only commodified replicable content.

all of the talk of β€œreshoring (low end) manufacturing” and β€œbringing back the american worker” is a smokescreen for a plan to impoverish as many americans by forcing as many of them as possible into backbreaking, low wage labor. it’s discipline for an unruly populace.

what booker is doing right now is an example of what i mean when i say things like β€œwe need more ambition right now.” there is room in american politics right now for people with ambition to take big stands and reap the rewards. he’s doing it!

Can’t emphasize this enough: if you’re feeling overwhelmed by the debased assault on our country, the antidote is connecting with other people in the flesh who are feeling the same way. There are millions of us.

A reminder in dark times: kindness, mercy, decency, and respect towards the least of us enrages Trumpists. It burns them. It’s like a mirror that shows them how they fall short of humanity.

Kindness and decency towards the people Trumpists hate is not just right; it torments Trumpists.
