Steve is unknowingly popular in teacher spaces online despite not having social media because his students keep posting videos of him on Tiktok.

Every now and again, a video will break containment and reach a wider audience - like the time one of his students used ‘girl math’ to justify their wrong answer and Steve responded with an exhausted ‘math is non-binary’ - but it’s always a flash-in-the-pan kinda thing. The lasting power isn’t there.

Or well, it wasn’t before famed rockstar Eddie Munson started randomly quoting some of the dorky shit ‘Teacher Steve’ says in those videos.

Someone puts together a compilation of Eddie quoting videos that have less than one hundred views. Now Eddie has to admit that he’s kinda obsessed with the guy and suddenly Steve is famous everywhere online (still doesn’t know about it though).

Things may have died down but then one of his students post a video of them asking Steve if he knows Eddie, and Steve is just like, “Munson? Eddie Munson from high school?”

They’re married btw.

conspiratorial thinking on this website is out of control tbh. i mean conspiratorial thinking in the world is out of control but i am mostly on this website so it annoys me most here.

Progress Report - 12/25/24

Hello and happy holidays!

It’s been a while, huh? 😅 my apologies for disappearing on you all. Long story short, I had a severe case of tendonitis in my shoulder, and have spent the last few months heavily restricted in my ability to type or do pretty much anything on the computer. And since I’m left-handed, and it was my left shoulder, writing the old fashioned way wasn’t much of an option either. It’s been absolute hell for me, to put it lightly.

I’ve finally recovered enough to be able to get back to work… slowly. More slowly than I’d like, honestly, but it is what it is. I’m trying my best not to overdo it and set my healing back. It’s easier said than done.

Besides the speed, however, work is actually going really well! Well enough that I have the next update very nearly ready to go. I have a really bad, game-breaking bug lurking somewhere in my code that I’m trying to unravel, but once I’ve found and squashed it, I’ll be able to roll the update out to patreon 😁

Beyond that, I also have a couple mini-stories planned (akin to the Spooktacular from a couple years back), the first of which is written and mostly-coded. I wanted to have it ready earlier this month, but again, work is slower than I want it to be. In addition, I want to roll out an updated version of the Idle Hands prologue/demo to my lovely and infinitely patient patrons, and I really hope to finally, finally release the first episode of Partially Stars.

Most of all, I hope to start being more active again on tumblr and to stop disappearing for months at a time. That’s my number 1 goal for 2025.

So that’s everything I’ve got for y’all for now! I’m gonna go back to fumigating my code so I can kill this bug, and with luck I’ll have something fun for you all very soon.

Merry Christmas to those who celebrate, happy Wednesday to those who don’t, and a Happy New Year to everyone. Enjoy the liminal week remaining until 2025, I love you all, and thank you as always for reading 💙💙💙

I really, really must stress that I am a university student at a big school and every single person in every class I have ever had brings in laptops that they do work with on a daily basis. I know a couple of 17 year old freshmen who skipped grades at some point and they all know how to download files, use email, and sort folders on their hard drives. I'm sure young people being completely computer illiterate and only knowing how to use smartphones is a problem in some circumstances but I really cannot overstate enough that "most teenagers don't even know how to use computer mice" does not line up at all with anything I have ever experienced as a Youth who is in consistent close contact with yet Younger Youths.

I noticed this old drawing of mine was getting some attention again, and I know I've been wanting to redraw it for a while, so I went ahead and did that :D

So I've been annoying all my friends on facebook about Ghost as well, and I decided to make a guide. And it made me laugh so I'm also sharing it here. I worked harder than I should have on this. Please enjoy.

Okay I have some more comprehensive thoughts about Rapport now that I've slept on it...

- first thought is ART is a bit fucking scary!! I find it so fascinating how the difference in perspective to a third person/NOT MB (who can give a lot of insider information as another MI) lets us really see from a human perspective what Peri can do. Its ability to manipulate conversation and emotion is VERY advanced and the type of skynet shit I love because it's unsettling. Uncanny if you will.

I think the reason I've never gotten that feeling about Peri/ART before is partly because MB doesn't really care for or notice the intricacies of human interactions to the same degree. So its narration either wouldn't pick up on or wouldn't comment on ARTs practically dancing through human social cues to get its way. And partly of course because this spaceship is PINING and acting a fool about it.

- This brings me to observation #2 which is holy shit dude this spaceship is down so bad..."I met someone who taught me about trauma" and designing the deflector vests and learning about system infiltration and the drones and and and!!! Love as change and blah blah blah but it's so special to me their explicitly ace/qpr adjacent relationship being seen as so formative and important from both sides.

- IRIS. Iris is like the equivalent of a lion tamer for the giant eerily capable force that is also her sibling. If she was not there are Martyn and Seth equally capable of cutting through Peri's bullshit and seeing its emotions? If not I feel the relationship it would have with the crew overall would be less familiar and trusting. This novelette did an amazing job making me understand why she is Peri's favorite and why their relationship is so special. She is incredibly talented at infiltration and manipulation and it's clear she and Peri have developed that skill together. Girl is sharp as a tack and I appreciate her more than ever!

- Martha Wells the author that you are. I am consistently amazed by the humanity she can bring to very inhuman concepts and this shows she can also do the opposite. We got to see so much more of interpersonal interactions between the Perihelion crew members that are usually glossed over (MB doesn't particularly care to describe them I fear). I am impressed with how concisely and neatly she managed to convey this information in such a different POV than most of the series and how well it fits with the information we already have. Hats off to her fr

I think that's all for now but wow I definitely am having an emotion about that one. Imagine when the next full novel comes out I'll be intolerable.
