Lots of pain recently. I binge watched The Gryphon and Dispatches from Elsewhere. Before I finished it, I would have said Dispatches was better but the ending p—ed me off, not because I don’t like the sentiment but because the sentiment was there from the beginning.

Dispatches from Elsewhere is excellent. Incredibly intriguing and I am having fun trying to identify every characters’ neurodivergence & boy are they relatable in their neurodivergence!

I have a vague memory of learning about a non-western story style that’s meant to describe/evoke a place (and nothing more). Now I can’t find anything about this. Does anyone know what this is? What it’s called?

I put 1400 words on the page today. It was mostly words carried over from one of my half-done hand-written stories, but I’ll take it. Given my meager productivity over the past year, I am thrilled.

When misogyny is baked into every aspect of existence, how do we know when a critique is not the result of an implicit bias or overt hatred for women? And when do we know praise is coming from a place of sincerity and not defensiveness? #WickedForGood
