his dark materials will literally always work bc every small child wants an animal companion that loves you most and goes on adventures with you and every adult wants an animal companion that can shoulder some of life’s immense psychologically damage for you. and you can pet it

got a giant and i mean GIANT fresh-squeezed strawberry lemonade at the farmer's market today. i'm talking like a full quart with a straw in it. very delicious. five dollars. nice. as i was leaving, laden with vegetables, a young man waved at me and asked where i had acquired my immense beverage. and after i pointed him toward the stall and informed him of the various prices and flavors, he looked toward the sky, basketball shorts flapping in the breeze, and bellowed to the heavens, "oh i am gonna SLUUUUUUUURP that." happy slurp that saturday everyone.

I think a truth I could benefit from internalizing better is that the reason procrastination is bad isn't just cos of "practical" stuff such as "if you leave the task too late you might not have enough time to finish it" or whatever (although, that too), it's that having an uncompleted task in the queue just unavoidably takes a non-trivial mental toll, you have to hold that task in your medium-term memory, your thinking about the near future always has to account for the fact that you need to slot this task in somewhere... even if this kind of stuff is being processed mostly unconsciously it's still mental resources being devoted to this thing, mental resources that could be doing something else! Even if it makes literally no practical difference what time of day the thing gets done, the day where you do it at 9am is just automatically much better than the day where you do it at 9pm. It's very seductive to put something off because "it doesn't really matter when this gets done" but I think that's almost always a fake idea.

My summary of The Murderbot Diaries so far, three books in:

Murderbot: I can’t believe I have to keep these humans from getting themselves killed. Everywhere I go, there are humans who need protecting and this cuts into really valuable media consumption time. This is so annoying.

Everything in the universe, including Murderbot’s own presumably unprecedented free will: You could just not protect the humans.

Murderbot: … No.

(And it’s great.)

It is November of 1893. You have just killed a vampire. Exhausted and worn, you close your eyes and rest.

You wake up. It is May of 1893. You are on a train en route to Transylvania. Your diary says you have had queer dreams lately.

You try to believe it.

(An old woman puts a rosary in your hands. You accept it without question.)

You are a guest in a castle you have never been in before (you recognize every hallway and know without trying that every door is locked). Your host is a man you have never met before (you killed him you killed him you killed him he had turned to dust and there was blood on the snow).

One morning you cut yourself while shaving.

There is nobody behind you in the pocket mirror’s reflection.

You turn fast, and the razor is like a Kukri knife in your hand.
