FUCKING FANTASTIC.

Sublimation by @isabel.kim is elite storytelling!! Kim's writing is stellar. Her world is so so real and smart.

Utterly stunning. I want all the stories in this world. All the fanfiction. All the canonical stories. All the spinoffs. All the official optioned episodes.

This is very real with all of the humanities if you’ve managed to make a career out of them. We are supposed to be so awed and feel so lucky to be there in the first place, ‘chosen’ to do a sacred cultural duty, that we’re meant to accept all manner of sins in order to maintain our presence.
I’m thinking a lot about what Fobazi Ettarh called “vocational awe” in librarianship, where the mythos & idealization of the “sacred” nature of the work leads to under-compensation (“not for the money”), job creep, martyrdom & burnout, silences marginalized folks, & more.

We must kill all the algorithms. We must bring back synchronicities. The algorithm is trying to kill happy accidents and is strangling the random flow of the universe. STOMP ON YOUR PHONE.
