i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

So apropos of nothing in particular, let’s talk about media tie-in novel pay vs. original work pay, shall we? Let’s say you write a novel. It’s set in your own world, your own characters, and titled The Original. You get a book deal! Look at you go!

the operative sexual fantasy of hannibal is seducing a straight guy through mind control, but the romantic fantasy is that you can be the most impaired, offputting dude alive and the hottest dracula you've ever seen will still blow up his life to fuck you one time

it's all dark now.
1) a water kettle boils next to a container of dry instant noodles
2) water is poured into the waiting bowl
3) xiang fei lifts a bite to his mouth; his laptop's glare reflects on his glasses, partially obscuring his weary eyes as he works
4) and eats his meal alone at his desk, surrounded by more containers and trash
svsss/sqh (moshang) comic, page 3:
1) a bowl of hand-pulled chili noodles, boy choy and beef shank dominates the top half of the page as mobei-jun places it on a tray: "eat."

1) sqh takes a bite

So Think, Write, Edit, Romance has a lot about prose and a whole section on self-editing. In a moment of wild surmise, I asked the literal Final Boss copyeditor if he'd take a look at it. (When I said I was taking a punt on blurbs...) And he did, and this is some of what @bcdreyer.social said.
Flyer for Think Write Edit Romance. Quote: “...she offers up here the sort of expert advice on the nuts and bolts of prose, from punctuation to grammar, that makes my copyeditorial heart sing. And if that weren't enough, she does it all engagingly and wittily.  I can't imagine a writer, of romance or of anything else, who won't find much that's invaluable in these pages.” --—Benjamin Dreyer, New York Times bestselling author of Dreyer's English and former Random House copy chief.

However, "but what if they're Autistic?” is not that. It's either saying that some folks should get a free pass regardless of the impact of their behavior, or it's saying that Autistic people can't treat others with respect and so it's discriminatory to expect it of them. Both are gross, and false.

People writing Yi City fic where "Songxiao could have had a good ending if they'd just killed Xue Yang" are operating fundamentally counter to the themes I like in Yi City: care, justice, and altruism changed Xue Yang to the core, but it came too late to save them. Grief and guilt will destroy you.

we see that the woman has slithered up through the crack in the masonry and holds up a hand between the man's legs.

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue and Green are sitting side by side in a tree, their tails coiled together.
Blue: It's best to share your life with someone who keeps you out of trouble.
Green: Yep. But it's more fun to be with someone who will join you in it.
Blue: That's also true.

Cautiously, Blue and Green peer down from their branch, looking to the ground far below.
Blue: Do you think it's safe to get down yet?
Green: No, I think they're still angry.

There's a sound of unintelligble cursing coming from the ground below.

Comic strip!
panel 1
a woman  shouts "don't you see! Sex isn't sexy"

panel 2
a second woman says "what?"
the first woman replies "Like red isn't reddish"
They're in a marketplace but that really isn't relevant to the comic.
for the next three panels the exchange goes like this-
"sex isn't like sex- it IS sex. So Don't try to be sexy during sex - that's backward! Sexy is whatever you do while you're fucking"
Second woman replies "Why are you telling me this?"
In the next panel the women are fucking.
First woman also holds up a board for the second woman to use a ruler and compass on. Doing some kind of math perhaps.

next panel, the women are post-coital.
second woman- "so what? You're trying to make math sexy?"
first woman- "No! I'm trying to make sex mathy!"

next panel we see a curvaceous woman with graphs overlaid on her curves. There isn't enough resolution to tell whether the math is accurate.

next panel we see some people gawping at math lady's butt.
final panel one of the gawpers says "Is anyone else suddenly excited by algebra?"

Thinkin' a bit about today @joanwestenberg.com's recent essay on ethics for the modern world. www.joanwestenberg.com/p/neo-...
15. Don't join in a punishment
because it has attracted a
crowd.
An algorithm will regularly show you a
stranger and invite you to help destroy
them. It will offer one clip, sentence, or
accusation, then encourage immediate
certainty.
Refuse the pleasure of acting as judge,
jury, and eager member of the crowd.
You probably don't know the whole story,
and the crowd certainly won't know when
to stop. Even if it's all entirely justified,
the mob doesn't need another pitchfork-
wielding, pearl-clutching, outraged
asshole.
Kierkegaard's formulation: "The crowd is
untruth." The algorithm has simply given
the crowd push notifications.

Sweet baby Jesus. "Chat GPT can tell me what I read yesterday and interpret it for me, except sometimes it just makes shit up, but that's still great! Imagine how much time and effort I save by not having to comprehend words or meaning!"
article screengrab:     It promised to give me "a recap of what's happened so far and clarify anything confusing. ... I'll stick strictly to what you've read. No hints about what's coming."

🔖 That's now become part of my reading routine: Tell AI where you stopped and ask for a spoiler-free recap so far, which often surfaces details I'd missed or forgotten.

🤔 Reality check: AI is working from its training data, not the actual text. The vibes can be right while the details are wrong.
