Rust snippet
“How did you meet Cassian?”   A smile- no, a flash of teeth, gorgeous face smoothing. “How on earth did you end up Morrigan’s date for the evening?”   The bartender, in such steely grey he blended right into the walls, tilted his overly-coiffed head. It seemed possible he’d been hired not just to mix drinks, but for the exactitude his hair matched the lights, tints of gold the only light. Azriel watched him restock clean glasses, thick tumblers gleaming- he could practically feel the slightly too hot glass, sliding in his own hands, a decade and another life ago.   “Why?” Azriel looked back at her, met Nesta exactly where he thought she was, “Because I fuck men?”   The bartender straightened back up.   “Because,” Her shark smile did not abate, in fact, eyes twinkling, pleased, “You don’t seem like someone who’d go for her brand of bullshit.”   Azriel, seen, said nothing.   “I met Cassian at a bar,” Nesta continued, with a carelessness that felt entirely genuine, “Let him take me home. Took him up on a repeat a few weeks later. I didn’t know about this,” she raised her glass, gesturing past Azriel’s body toward the table full of people neither of them seemed remotely inclined to speak to, “Until yesterday. I’m busy. I didn’t realize sufficient dick and mediocre oral was a fucking betrothal.”   Arm flattened to the rich oak of the bar, Azriel let its cold surface seep through his sleeve. Traced the circle cut by his glass, the least dangerous thing his hands wanted to reach for.   “He doesn’t pay enough attention,” Azriel said, smiling back at her, just a little, “Does he?”   Elegant, easy, Nesta risked wildly tipping her wine glass to clink against his gin. Not a drop spilled. “That he does not.”   “More of a placeholder,” Azriel watched her sip, her mouth and her swallow and her throat, “Than a date.”   “Wasteful,” Nesta volleyed back, holding his gaze.

My friends who have never experienced flooding, and who are about to deal with it from this storm, please remember:
1. NO. YOU CANNOT MAKE IT THROUGH THAT WATER ON THE ROAD. I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU'RE DRIVING. TURN. AROUND.
2. DO NOT GO WADING THROUGH THE WATER. EVEN IF YOU JUST WANT TO SEE HOW DEEP IT IS. THAT. WATER. IS. CONTAMINATED.
3. IT IS CALLED FLASH FLOODING FOR A REASON. THE WATER RISES AND SURGES IN A FLASH. STAY. HOME.
4. If you're at risk of flooding, raise up any of your belongings now. Put the legs of tall things in buckets. Know where your important documents are.
5. Stay safe.

There's something hilarious about how so much subsequent media has positioned Vampires and Werewolves as, like, binary opposite entities, and then you read Dracula (1897) and realize that wolves are that guy's preferred solution to every problem. You'd say something to Dracula about "ah yes, werewolves, vampires' great eternal enemies," and he'd just be like "you mean my subcontractors?"

I hate how people will look at popular indie artists who had one or two songs go viral on TikTok and start making fun of anybody who listens to them. "Oh you listen to Lemon Demon, Will Wood, Jack Stauber, Glass Animals, and Mother Mother? Tsk, don't you know that is stupid TikTok neurodivergent white transmasc preteen music? It's so mid and bad you should listen to real music–" you are a pit of misery

feeling very frustrated about the ways people are talking about hurricane Milton. lots of needless, borderline fear mongering language with very little actual helpful information.
information about Milton that might ACTUALLY be helpful:
Hurricane Milton is shaping up to be the third strongest hurricane ever recorded.
Make sure you have an evacuation plan if the order is given or if you've already been told to leave.
there is also a code for free Ubers to evacuate effected counties, as well as shuttles from evacuating counties to nearby storm shelters
Prepare/secure your home
Find your nearest shelter and be prepared to leave
If you want to stay in the loop about the hurricane, WESH 2 News has ongoing coverage ad-free on YouTube.
General resources/information:
Please for the love of God stop preying on people's fears and causing panic. Know what resources are available to you and how to access them. If you approach this hurricane carefully YOU WILL BE OKAY!!!!! YOUR LIFE DOES NOT HAVE TO BE RUINED!!!
Please link other resources you find or think other people might find useful!

Here’s my take on the whole audio books vs. reading:
Oral tradition of storytelling predates written ones by millennias, and honestly, which one you like is just a personal preference.
The actual difference is
when listening, you have no idea how to write characters’ names
when reading, you have no idea how to pronounce characters’ names
hope this helps!
