God the temptation to just. Either take down and rewrite or just give up entirely on all of my main projects so I can learn how to write well* and only post good quality stuff is. So high man. Ahhhh!

*by learn how to write well I mean with a skillset that I don't currently posses. I feel like I've been trying to get there, but my attempts have been stilted and feel very surface level. I've really got to study more.

lmao I've got such a handle on what branwen and gortash's partnership was like pre-tadpole, and how easily they fall back into it once branwen returns to the city; she's still fundamentally the same naive & easily manipulated child pulling the wings off butterflies that she was when they first met

but damn i have no idea what the dynamic looked like for elektra in her worldstate??

... why cant we point out to the garleans in tertium that the 'reinforcements' from the provinces theyre holding out hope for are... largely comprised of conscripts. conscripts that now have zero incentive to keep fighting for the empire that murdered their countrymen and forced them into service

Black people can be teenagers. And children. And gen z and gay and transgender and anything else that isn't mutually exclusive to race. Black teens exist. Black children exist. Seeing black people as this monolithic age group is why little children get tried as adults for walking across the street "wrong". When someone says "teenagers" and you immediately just think of white teens and nothing else, and exclude black teens, it's still racism. You can recognize the culture and creations of black people without excluding the fact that the black person you are talking about is a teenager or a child. You can say "it was a black teen" or "it was a black gen z kid". Gen z includes black children.

I think one big reason why we don't consider the stars as important as before (not even pop-astrology anymore cares about the stars or the sky on itself, just the signs deprived of context) is because of light pollution.

For most of human history the sky looked between 1-3, 4 at most. And then all of a sudden with electrification it was gone (I'm lucky if I get 6 in my small city). The first time I saw the Milky Way fully as a kid was a spiritual experience, I was almost scared on how BRIGHT it was, it felt like someone was looking back at me. You don't get that at all with modern light pollution.

When most people talk about stargazing nowadays they think about watching about a couple of bright dots. The stars are really, really not like that. The unpolluted night sky is a festival of fireworks. There is nothing like it.

with love. you have to fact check shit. yes you. you still have to fact check shit. a lot of people are great at fact checking stuff they don’t want to be true, but somehow are still absolute ass at fact checking stuff that’s rhetorically convenient to them. even people my age, who I KNOW grew up doing internet/bibliography literacy workshops, and being warned not to believe anything that isn’t reliably sourced, people who DO harp on fact checking conservative output or whatever, are still kneejerk sharing unsourced shit that is partially or wholly untrue or misleading, because it suits whatever narrative they’re pursuing in that moment, without even a “take this with a grain of salt”. fact check!!!!!! look at the sources!!!!! yes it’s a drag!!! do it!!!!!

Because of Re: Carmilla, I thought you all would enjoy my edition of Carmilla :

The holes go all the way through, the sides of the book are red, and on some pages the text is colored red just under the holes !

I was so happy when I found it in a little french bookshop specialized in queer texts ❤️

as a former escape room host i highly recommend doing an escape room as a first date. its a great way to learn how ppl react under pressure and how well they collaborate with you right off the bat. also more than once ive seen people enter an escape room as a couple and exit broken up LOL its a fantastic litmus test
