You should read @alicefraser.bsky.social's lovely and sorrowful and human piece on Bondi Beach & then reflect that it's the sort of communication that's only possible when you don't view everything as an online argument that you have to win at all costs.

Bondi is where I have felt safe all my life. How could anyone want to destroy this monument to humanity and joy? | Alice Fraser
I can’t bear to view this postcard of Australia, layered with a thousand memories, with untrusting eyes, to feel the air changed and warped by horror

How are the options to sign up for your premium service only “yes please” or “no Thankyou” and not “fuck you for degrading your base service in order to try to force me into paying for an ever receding horizon of un-enshittified existence”

Thank you. Yep! As long as people are not buying a physical copy of one of my books with “Unbound” on it, I get royalties. Thankfully there are very few left now. Any sales of the Swift Press versions help, digital or physical.
It IS fucking great! #TeamSheila.

Are footnotes a genre on their own? Pterry used them for extra laughs, and this one from @alicefraser.bsky.social is just lovely. Infinite Jest needs 2 bookmarks* as the footnotes are so long and have their own footnotes. XKCD’s alt text is basically a comic footnote.
*or throwing away, you decide.

My partner was working at the Westroads mall when Omaha had a big shooting. They still rattle me. But it feels hopeless. We get Blizzards and cry over them. Salting brownies.

The guardian is asking me to write an article about Bondi, based on that Patreon post I did, and the bugle thing too I guess. Not sure if I have the stomach for it.
Patreon and bugle audience are both gangs of people who already know & like my ethos. Am I up for The Discourse of doing an OpEd?

I’ve been a huge fan of Alice’s work for ages, and the works of D’Ancey LaGuarde are a particular highlight. This book gave me insights into a genre I know little about while making me laugh a lot. Buy it in audiobook so Alice gets paid for it!

The weakest part of my character is the part that, despite the fact that I despise Instagram and most of what it does to humans, retains an Instagram account solely out of the illogical and increasingly outmoded fear that, if I didn't, I might no longer be permitted to continue making a living.

One of Audibles more explicable recommendations- you liked smart and silly, here is some other smart and silly. Not sure how many @alicefraser.bsky.social readers would be unfamiliar with Pratchett, but I did like the sentiment.

It is tough to appreciate how desensitized we've become to mass murder in the US until you hear someone elsewhere try to make sense of it.
