I love talking with neurotypical people about my executive dysfunction because I'm like "yeah there's this invisible wall in my head that I'm incapable of getting past no matter what I do and it stops me from doing things" and they're like what the actual fuck
Meanwhile other neurodivergents are like

It's impressive how Neil Gaiman vanished from the internet. Wish Rowling would do the same.

obsessed with mass market paperbacks. their pleasing rectangular proportions. how they fit badly in a hoodie pocket so you can drag them around everywhere with you like a temporary little buddy. the way they fit in your hand because they're MADE for human hands and not as bookshelf decoration. the way the pages feel when you riffle them gently with your thumb. How pristine and crisp they look when you get them and how creased and folded they look when you're done, even if you try to be nice to them. how that wear is okay, how that's correct actually, because they're made with the philosophy that books aren't meant to be PRETTY, they're meant to be read. that little ripple new ones get on the left side from where you hold them when you're reading, the way the ripple only goes as far as you've read, because u change stories by reading as they are changing you. how you can find thousands of these creased and folded and loved little dudes in every thrift store and used book shop and neighborhood library and you can instantly see the ones that someone carried around in a backpack for weeks or read to pieces or gave up on halfway through because they wear being read like fresh snow wears footprints. I love these poorly made, subpar little rectangles so much. truly the people's books.

truly, people using ai to write fiction pisses me off. more than all the other ai shit. because like. my work has meaning. it has humanity. it has the mannerisms and wisdom and lived experience of twenty years and every person i've interacted with woven through it. it has my trauma and my pain and my tears and my hope. i use words because i think they're pretty or they're weird or i just heard my professor use them and i'm delighted to know new things. the curtains are blue because twenty years of life and hundreds of generations before me decided so. ykwim??? that shit can't be replicated.

Or as Strunk and White said in Elements of Style (to the best of my memory), "Feel free to ignore everything in this book rather than write something inelegant."

we've seen political assassination attempts that are great for the perpetrator's agenda, we've seen political assassination attempts that are great for the target's agenda, but America, ever the innovator, has invented something new: the political assassination attempt with no effect whatsoever
