I couldn't be bothered to shave while sick and by now have a fairly hefty beard... maybe I'll retire the stubble+stache until spring

the thing about having moved to germany is when I invariably get homesick or frustrated with cultural differences and ask myself what I'm doing here, I can immediately answer that question with several definitive benefits

which is to say, I do actually enjoy a good love story and sometimes a romance novel has compelling enough characters and dynamics to reel me in. but that's despite the formula. the formula and I do not get along.

I am the target audience of every bozo who thinks "I want to make romance novels for people who don't read romance novels" and the thing is: you are never going to make it work. by changing the formula to please me you have abandoned the premise. that's just a sparkling love story now.

You may have seen that 600+ detainees are eligible for release, which is amazing! BUT: you may not know that immigration detainees still have to pay for their freedom-- $1500 bond per person! The Midwest Immigration Bond Fund is raising money to help people get free, please donate: www.mibfc.org

thinking about whether my writing is stylistically recognizable and I think this is hampered by the fact that I just don't do as much of it as I used to and most of what I write never gets shared

the struggle of being deeply embarrassed that all I do is lie around vs knowing that if I try to do anything strenuous I'll set myself back and stay sick even longer

the vet bill is close to $1K, which isn't something I can personally afford but also didn't hesitate at all to pay.

still if anyone is willing to help pitch in for Bocchama, my ko-fi is here

finally hit saturation point on replaying assassin's creed, decided to sit down with my german workbook to try and catch up, discovered I am still not well enough for studying

I have forgotten my life free of coughing. all I know is ravages of bronchitis and the perpetual indignity of post-nasal drip

my flatmate very politely asked me to turn off the fucking video games (which: totally understandable, I imagine it must be so fucking annoying if you're not the one playing) so now I must figure out a new mindless activity

this doesn't seem to be a moderation option for me either way. perhaps an america exclusive? but in case it helps someone else
If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

I feel very strongly that it is our duty as a society to mock, insult, and demean the memories of powerful people who do immense harm. it's not just harmless, it is actively beneficial. we have very little leverage over such people, but we can threaten their legacy.

re: quoted post, I think the best fictional romances out there are driven by tensions unrelated to being in love, and built on connections unrelated to attraction. a "yes, but" approach to romance.
