I forget where I read it, but: she once said that she could only write in a cold cabin. Brrrr
For sure. Iβm going to see if I can set up a periodic delivery with Certa, because I never want that to happen again!
I have also ordered a cheap space heater. Was thinking to myself βIβll just tough it outβ but no. I literally need to be warm enough to move, like an iguana
Lying on my electric blanket, waiting for it to get warm enough so that I can write. Apparently I cannot write below a certain temperature. I am not Annie Dillard.
Loved Mongolia. Just uncannily beautiful.
Man I am just one accidental picture folder click away from having my entire day derailed
Me looking ominous in my kitchen, wearing a dry robe with a red hood
I spent my heating oil too quickly and air-locked the tank, so now I'm doing penance by going back to monkish austerity (and lots of layers)
The very very very fucking different ways male-presenting and female-presenting authors are promoted and hyped by both the publishing industry and readers is utterly exhausting.
I am so tired of mid shit being treated like holy scripture because a cis white man wrote it.
the purpose of a system is what it does
This took me a second but lol
Italy beats the USA 8-6
I finally lost my shit about so-called AIs, LLMs, enshittification & everything fucking evil that @officialgrammarly.bsky.social is doing. I'm fucking furious, and not just about what 1 company has done. An open letter to Grammarly & the rest of the LLM hype machine www.moryan.com/an-open-lett...

Only two episodes of Deep Space Nine left π
I remember when I asked NPRβs Steve Inskeep why he wasnβt covering this story in advance of the 2016 election, when he was aggressively covering HRCβs βillness,β and he accused me of having an βagendaβ
Even as a cynical scholar of rape culture, I'm shocked that this isn't the headline story on domestic politics everywhere right now. It's just an unfathomable abuse of power, in clear violation of the law.
The best summation of the AI bubble that Iβve seen yet. Weβre headed for a sea change.
Anyway. Still hold that neither Twitter nor Substack (let alone their users) are uniquely evil, platform-wise, but it makes people feel good to designate one as the goat to drive out into the wilderness
Everyone (including me) makes sweeping generalizations about the people who are still on Twitter/X based on the very specific subset of people they see in their feed
(Iβm still on it because I still get information and insight there that just does not exist here, mostly from the Global South)

Ireland, why you so pretty alla time πΈ #SpΓ©irGorm
Oh good. That is really a balm in these times.
SAME!!!
Imma ask themβ¦.
Itβs just too much.
TIL that sticker printers canβt print the color hot pink!?! FML.
Imagine bombing Macchu Picchu to rubble. Or the Pyramids of Giza. Or Uluru, or Lascaux.
Thatβs what this is. Thatβs what theyβre doing.
On the corner where I was staying β I think this is also a plane tree?, but in general, yes!
Ohh *deep sigh*
Eh. Canβt find anything but rumors from randos. So probably not.
