Ok ... let’s pretend it’s still Sunday (I know it is in some parts, so that’s good enough, even if it’s officially Monday now in the UK. I’m posting this, damnit!!)
Thanks for the tags @captain-aralias and @confused-bi-queer
Recently, I’ve been writing academically more than working on ASR, which has been a nice switch up. I haven’t written anything academic in three years, since I handed my Masters dissertation in in February 2020, so working on a blog post that looks at that subject was a fun way to revisit the subject and the format.
Anywho, I’m not sure if I can share any of that just yet, so here’s another ASR excerpt beneath the cut. This is part of the big action sequence I’ve already shared a snippet from, and you can read a longer excerpt from over on my Patreon for £2 a month or more here.
“Lauren, sit rep. What’s going on?” Clarissa asked, her voice far too loud in Lauren’s ear.
“We’re beneath the house, in a subterranean tunnel,” Lauren said, scanning her surroundings. Marcus had taken out his phone and was using the torch on its lowest setting to light their way. “Looks like I was right about smugglers tunnels. I really need to start putting money on things like this.”
“Really?” Emily sighed.
“You guys bet on me all the time, apparently.”
“That was one time.”
“How did you know there would be smugglers tunnels?” Aira asked.
Lauren shrugged. “Southampton’s a major British trading port. It would be unusual for there not to be a way to circumnavigate the law set up at some point in the last two thousand years.”
“But, how did you even think about that?”
Another shrug. She could tell by now it was grating on Aira’s nerves by the way her shoulders hunched and her fists clenched. “I’m taking a history degree. I read a lot in my spare time.”
Tagging: anyone who wants to share WIP stuff. I’m so late in the day, I’m fairly certain most people have posted already 😂🙈
Hind Rajab was a 5 year old girl in Gaza who was killed while she hid alone in a car, along with the paramedics who tried to rescue her. Yesterday students at Columbia seized the administration building and renamed it in her honor.

one thing that so many students forget is that, a win is a win. if you planned on doing english homework but instead you finished your history essay, celebrate that, don’t be upset taht you didn’t sick to your plan, at least you got SOMETHING DONE. a win is a fucking win and don’t let anyone tell you different.
