*dusts off account* Happy New Year everyone! Will this be the year I actually use Bluesky? And/or the year I finish the first draft of this novel? I guess we're going to find out!

When people say 'politics is too divisive now,' what they really mean is 'I was more comfortable when certain groups suffered quietly.'

3/ There's a whole slice of the right-wing trying to "claim" the history of "western civ" in support of their 21st century agenda. They mostly don't know anything about the history, but just thinks roman busts and latin quips make them sound smrt. The ones who do know, they're just liars.

“Christopher Nolan will make the plot of The Odyssey comprehensible to people who haven’t read it.” Sir, have you ever seen a Christopher Nolan movie

When I was a buyer at a large indie, my rule of thumb was: 1 preorder: huh, let me take a closer look at this one 2 preorders: we need to stock this book 3 preorders: we should order enough to face this out 4+ preorders: this should be on front-of-store display

Some time back, my friend @sigridellis.bsky.social ended a disability-related panel at WisCon with the following sentiment, & it's what I'm holding onto today: Joy is the best reason to work for a better world, but if joy is inaccessible to you right now, spite will do.

fwiw my therapist was straight-up like “pull every single legit coping lever you have right now and don’t feel guilty about it, distraction is key,” maybe you also needed to hear this

Disco Elysium offers a tremendous variety of roleplaying choices & alternate solutions I will never see because they'd disappoint Kim Kitsuragi
