very specific writer pet peeve: I hate how each time i close a specific google doc I have to re-enable seeing the word count while I'm typing and it doesn't save that setting. you have all this data about me and my whole entire life and you can't remember that I want to see how long this thing is?

The biggest enabler for creativity is stability. I wish that was made more central to the creative narrative. Figure out what your specific needs are to limit stressors and enable "boring" time and work to achieve that as hard as you're practicing your art.

In case you're wondering how things are going in online media today (since been deleted)
Despite rumors to the contrary, we have not eliminated our News section.

We simply fired all the news editors who didn't resign in protest and have been slowly gutting our other departments as Valnet continues CBR's shift to an Al-driven, clickbait-focused content mill.

already had a lot of respect and love for Richard Siken but reading what he has to say about writing after a stroke after I had a brain injury and thought I’d never write again either has been so illuminating and incredibly relatable. when your brain fractures you forget everything.

🥀 this barbie won't stay buried! 🥀 —— 🗝 • 🎨clx3 • #art • #horror ——
an illustration of a barbie in a dirty and tattered box. the barbie is pale with dark brown wavy hair, glowing eyes, and a sage green 1950s shift nightgown stained with dirt. her head is bent at an odd angle, and cracks in her plastic skin show bones beneath. in a stiffly bent arm, she carries a bouquet of wilting flowers. the frame around her is shaped like a headstone. text reads "came-back-wrong barbie", "this barbie is clawing her way out of her own grave!", and "i'm a strange new kind of in-between thing, aren't i, not at home with the dead nor with the living."

an illustration of a barbie in a box. the barbie has medium-brown skin and dark wavy hair, and is wearing a victorian-style long nightgown. one of her hands is held to her mouth, and her wide eyes look shocked. the frame she's in is shaped like a coffin, and an inset illustration shows her in a different dress, holding an old-fashioned candle. text reads "gothic horror barbie", "she's been dead since the beginning!", "comes with her own haunted mirror!*" and "*ghosts purchased separately". the box is worn and tattered, and the top of it appears burnt.
