I write modern fairy tales, solar punk, and things that go bump in the Chronically ill Nana of two with a third grandgoblin due in July. The cat thinks she's in charge.

Accountability/Proof thread for Wednesday, March 4, 2026. I don't know how I'm going to do this, numb with grief and totally discomfuckulated. But if I don't write I'll start thinking and that's not a good idea right now. I plan to whack away at the past-due project until it's done.

Accountability/Proof thread for Tuesday, March 3, 2026. It's a rough day for me emotionally, and I have to plow through a project I should have finished last December. I don't want to. But I don't want to look back on yet another project I bailed on. My self-confidence can't handle that.

I was radicalized by a kind elderly Presbyterian minister in a brightly colored cardigan who played with puppets and told me that people could like me exactly as I am and that everyone is different and that's great and we should like them exactly as THEY are.

Two simultaneous truths: 1. No matter how badly someone hurt you, once you part ways you don’t get to decide if they grow and become better. It’s their life and their choice. 2. You are never under any obligation to give them access to you, no matter how much they do that.

Accountability/Proof thread for Sat Feb 28, 2026. No pain but stiffer than the drink I need. My mental battery is at 27% so I don't think I'm going to be able to get anything done. I'm just staring blankly at things for several minutes at a time until I shift focus & stare blankly at something else.

I'm thinking about using Bluesky to document my writing process, so if/when I get accused of using AI to write my stories I can point to it as proof that no, I did not I spent months on this shit. That I have to think about such things is pissing me all the way off.

at last, we have invented retrophenology from the classic Discworld text Don’t Invent Retrophenology
Retrophrenology:
It works like this. Phrenology, as everyone knows, is a way of reading someone's character, aptitude and abilities by examining the bumps and hollows on their head. Therefore - according to the kind of logical thinking that characterizes the Ankh-Morpork mind - it should be possible to mould someone's character by giving them carefully graded bumps in all the right places. You can go into a shop and order an artistic temperament with a tendency to introspection and a side order of hysteria. What you actually get is hit on the head with a selection of different size mallets, but it creates employment and keeps the money in circulation, and that's the main thing.

No other word has done more damage to the craft of writing in recent years than “content”. Even if you’re using the word “content” ironically, or as a cute little joke, don’t. When someone calls writing “content” they’re pissing on someone’s hard work & passion. “Content” is Technosatan’s henchword.

Grandiloquent Word of the Day @grandiloquentwords.bsky.social · 06/01/2026
Katzenjammer [KAT-sun-jam-er] (n.) - Confusion; uproar. - A hangover; a severe headache resulting from a hangover. - Remorse of conscience, vow to mend one's ways. Use: “Might I politely suggest that you retire to an alternate location to sleep off the remainder of your katzenjammer?”
Vintage-style “Grandiloquent Word of the Day” illustration on a parchment-toned background. At left, an ornate Victorian banner reads “Grandiloquent Word of the Day,” followed by the word “Katzenjammer” with phonetic spelling and definitions listing confusion or uproar, a hangover or severe headache, and remorse of conscience. Beneath the definitions is a humorous, polite sentence suggesting someone retire elsewhere to sleep off their katzenjammer. At right, a 19th-century engraved scene shows a standing man in period clothing gesturing toward a disheveled figure collapsed on the ground, evoking the aftermath of drunken revelry.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but opposing GenAI is not about opposing technology, it's about opposing capitalists. GenAI is not a technology: it's a massive automation of theft, masquerading as an industry, run by grifters. Don't hate computers, hate the capitalists behind the curtain.

Why in the name of all that's holy does "making puff pastry" require so much banging, thumping, and loud grouching? If my husband doesn't pound something right through our flimsy kitchen counter I'll be mildly surprised.
