was complaining about some authors today and both times the complaint came down to "i wish he had trusted his imagination more." maybe there is a lesson for me here, too.

I'm sorry, I have no chill about this, but I have a story coming out in Reactor on Nov 11 called "The Next Closest Thing". When your mom is in hospital for maybe the last time, she orders a clone to comfort you. But there's something not quite right and anyway, she doesn't get the Pagliacci joke.

au where everything is the same except millennial counter-cultural teens fixated on a slightly different late 70s music scene and everyone says "that's so disco" affirmatively.

what is up with bluesky and everyone on it using "middlebrow" and "highbrow" and "lowbrow" as actual sincere terms that they means a compliment (highbrow) or insults (the others)? it's just incredibly disorienting. i had never heard those terms used sincerely in my entire life until this site.

Genuinely, one of the best revision tactics out there is simply to . . . not look at the story for a while. You come back and go "I know what my reasons were for doing it this way -- but omgwtfbbq was that the wrong choice, and I can see that now."

seeing yet another uptick in people trying to speak on behalf of all sexual assault survivors lately and i just want to make the incredibly bland public statement that survivors are a very diverse bunch, there is almost nothing we agree about, and no one is authorized to speak for us collectively.

watched the Martin Crimp version of The Misanthrope starring Sandra Oh via some sort of "live plays in movie theaters" thing. lots to like. Sandra Oh is great. the choice to do a modern play with rhymed, metered dialogue was excellent. but ended up not liking it very much.

something that i (legitimately) liked was when the fairly buttoned-down assistant character kills two people in less than a minute and then goes "what the fuck? i just killed two people in less than a minute" and this causes her no further psychological or personal issues.

there is a particular logical fallacy in the nerd fixation on "shared universes" that bugs the hell out of me. namely, that simply because fictional world A makes reference to fictional world B means that they "share a continuity." no! that's not true!

heard from someone i told about this book that they've read it and recommended it to someone else. it's an incredible book. a hard-nosed, cynical look at human sex differences and sexual behavior, in the sheath of a science fiction novel. no one is spared. you might love it. you might hate it.

also saw coyote vs. acme, which had a very weak first two thirds (all the jokes were in the wrong order, none of them hit well, they were trying to do character beats with the coyote that just didn't work, too much metaplot) but my god the jokes in the last third had me laughing my ass off.
