The sequence of real thought followed by flash-in-the-pan hashtags is representative of something, I think.
An appropriate response to art is never to ask “What DOESN’T this provide?” Always, one should focus on what it does provide. To do anything else is a demonstration in dishonesty, bad faith reporting.

Dunno today’s word count yet. We’re at 800-something, but I also did a good amount of worldbuilding on paper.

I definitely slept on this album when it came out. Sometimes records find you when you need them, not when you want them. Well, now I can say that I love this album. #Lorde outdid herself.

A good example of how we're sometimes conditioned by our literature classes to privilege influences too much. For exz recent speculation in certain quarters that a scene in Acceptance where Saul sees an owl atop a box turtle and is confused by the silhouette... is a nod to X or Y other book. 1/2

Shoutout to the #NorthernLine. You may be loud, and old, and probably not in the best shape. But you will forever be my favourite tube line.

God made me leave London because He knew that if I had access to both #TheLifeofaShowgirl AND travel via tube, I would have been unbearable.

An extreme cannot exist in isolation. It is a reaction to opposing thought, which in itself becomes an extreme as both move incrementally—and in sequence—further toward mutual loathing and alienation. This, now, is the danger.

I’m getting cussed out over on #Threads. All I can say is: Hell. Yeah. There are few things I love half so much as strangers trying to bully me online.

Writing tonight. Almost 6,000 words down, though some of those were imported from an earlier version. It’s a good tempo, though.
