I've been too low on spoons for the last few months to find any creative inspiration even on the days when I might have had the time to write...and now that I really don't have the time, I find myself thinking about my fics a lot and itching to get back to them. Like, it's "funny" how that goes.

one of the biggest things I can advocate for (in academia, but also just in life) is to build credibility with yourself. It’s easy to fall into the habit of thinking of yourself as someone who does things last minute or who struggles to start tasks. people will tell you that you just need to build different habits, but I know for me at least the idea of ‘habit’ is sort of abstract and dehumanizing. Credibility is more like ‘I’ve done this before, so I know I can do it, and more importantly I trust myself to do it’. you set an assignment goal for the day and you meet it, and then you feel stronger setting one the next day. You establish a relationship with yourself that’s built on confidence and trust. That in turn starts to erode the barrier of insecurity and perfectionism and makes it easier to start and finish tasks. reframing the narrative as a process of building credibility makes it easier to celebrate each step and recognize how strong your relationship with yourself can become

idia was an absolute treasure this update. you agree.

Idia really went "time for me to be a hero! but in, like, a super meta way" and if that isn't incredibly in-character then what is.

and of course we can't forget

I kinda hope he and Riddle get to do another game jam again sometime! it's nice to see them get along! and now they have, inexplicably...shared skills and interests???

Twins in time au.... Would Fiddleford act as a sort of father figure to Stan? Since Filbrick obviously SUCKED to both Stan and Ford and Fidd is more than definitely missing HIS son, and of course Ford has grown to love him but they're still BROTHERS.. Maybe they could act as the father/son the other is missing?

ABSOLUTELY!!!!

Hey are you willing to BLAST Kat Bolstad’s page on the AUT website? She’s the researcher who voiced over the colossal squid video and it’s making me so mad that people’s hatred of generative AI is so strong that they’re trying to crowd out an incredible cephalopod researcher who frankly speaks with a similar cadence to David Attenborough (those documentary skills!!!) especially during a time where we need to encourage women in STEM. This is the real damage generative AI is doing.

If you haven’t read The Hellblazer’s Apprentice, by @bluelotuswrites this is your sign. Necromancer Jason, magic apprentice Jason, magic mentor Constantine, all blades Jason, sass and ghosts, what’s not to love?

[damian-lil-babybat]

They're judging their sibling's life decisions, and they are not impressed.

(And to think Jason and Dami have pit-madness in their system)

Y'all are going to have to explain to me: if cis men cannot be victims of misogyny, and misandry isn't real, then what was it when my father was bullied by his coworkers for taking his full parental leave to take care of baby me after I was born? What is it when he is mocked by his family because he is the one who cleaned the house and cooked the food? What is it when he is called "a well trained man" and my mother is complimented for that when he always had a love of cooking and cleaning and she had no influence on that?

Because I'm fucking tired of seeing y'all argue that cis men are the only one exempt from misogyny, but also argue that misandry isn't real. I think y'all have forgotten that the patriarchy doesn't love men and harms them deeply, even tho they get privileges. That, actually, there have been women who benefited from the patriarchy, while most people, every gender alike, were suffering. If the patriarchy loved men, they wouldn't bash them the moment they are being themselves and happy.
