Not to insomnia-weigh-in on the concept of restorative justice, but I thought long and hard ten years ago about what I would say if someone asked what Alex Kozinski could do by way of restorative justice. (Nobody ever asked.)

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!

three bowls of noodles #moshang

svsss/sqh (moshang) comic, page 1:
the page background shades darker as night falls; it's dinner time
1) a very young xiang fei watches leftover take-out noodles reheat in the microwave.
2) he carefully removes the container
3) and pushes out his chair at a dinner table, set with only one place setting--a child's mug and chopsticks--
4) and eats his meal alone

svsss/sqh (moshang) comic, page 2:
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."
2) sqh (baffled): "huh? / for...me? / my king... *y-you* made this?"
3) mbj (radiating a dark aura): "you no longer desire this dish?"
sqh (flailing) "no no, thats--!! I mean yes!! I do! I do want it!"
4) sqh scrutinizes the dish with a vague look
5) and picks up the chopsticks from the lavishly-set tray

svsss/sqh (moshang) comic, page 4:
1) sqh takes a bite
2) as he chews, his pleasant expression falls away and tears prick his eyes
3) tears roll down his cheeks when he goes for a second bite of this meal that someone's made just for him
4) across the tray, mbj reaches to cradle his face
and he eats his meal with his king

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.

Hey I'm not actually done talking about Dolly Parton. 🧵 Specifically I want to talk about her album 9 to 5 and Odd Jobs, released in 1980 (not the soundtrack to the film 9 to 5, that's a different thing). The whole album is about work, with most of the songs focused on a different type of worker.

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.

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?"
