that democratic dignity which, on all hands, radiates without end from God
lord there are so many of them.
i can always tell when a venue is too fancy for me to submit to when it has a "/" in the title
regrettably i cannot provide publication for it.
god season 2 was one of the worst things i've ever seen.
Anyway I'm going to take this opportunity to spread a little love.
So! It's International Women's Day! Reskeet with a book recommendation by a woman or enby/genderqueer person!

This chart also applies to writing fiction, FYI.
boy does it ever
(this is true even if bunches of salad-haters on bluesky post your review with the comment "finally, someone said it")
it's okay to write an essay about how you think steak is better than salad and no one should eat salads and salads are gross and probably the fault of late-stage capitalism.
but that's not a review of a salad. it's a critical essay about food as a whole. and it's disingenuous to frame it otherwise.
okay, you don't like salad. okay, you think steak is better than salad.
what does this salad do differently than other salads? was the better or worse? how did it operate within the constraints of "salad" as a medium? how did it iterate on the common elements? what did it add?
i feel like if you are reviewing a salad, and you spend the whole time talking about how you hate vegetables and there are too many vegetables and the salad would be better if it were a steak, you're not really productively engaging with that salad in an interesting way.
We're heading to AWP in Baltimore this week. If you'll be there, drop by booth #442 and say hi.
i would like my laptop to look like artificially flavored candy, please.
it feels like apple's product designers were rolling their eyes and going "fine! whatever! we'll bring back colors!" but half-assing it so they don't get made fun of at parties.
good design commits. this feels non-committal.
better than not! but a hyper-saturated orange or teal would be beautiful.
after years of people wishing Apple would bring back their bright colors of the late 90s and early 00s, they finally released a line of laptops (only the cheap ones) with some color options, and they're... fine?
i mean, better than no colors. but they're metallic or desaturated. not bright. no pop.
Tomorrow. ⚔️
(this idea did not originate with me, i'm just agreeing.)
if we're going to have a logo for human-created art, it should be a handprint.
