Proofreader/editor for hire, chronic replier, lover of tea and brown liquor. I also do weird art shit. I like to dance. COVID is not over.
Ha. It really does happen! My parents divorced when I was young, but they coparented and still care deeply about each other. They can't stay in the same house, but they now live like six blocks apart and help each other out all the time (well, as much as my dad's health allows).

Exactly. No one who makes or seriously cares about art puts any stock in this. Artists recognize it as poisonous, market-first bullshit, because they know that works of art are not fucking monogrammed hand towels. Consign this entire ethos to the scrap heap, along with the ghouls who promote it.

"Yclept" spotted! <3

Truly this feels like an attack.

Yeah, people have been Telling about him for a long time.

No rush, you know I will commission you at some point. <3

Hey, DOT friends, your links are wrong. They just go to the Buffer homepage. Might want to repost.

I hope this man has warm delivery-driver-style handlebar mitts and a beautiful holiday season.

I am not a laundry hater, but I categorically refuse to deal with that much laundry. Nope.

Yes. On the whole, I only like podcasts that seem to have answered the existential query (same for great radio)—"Why this format? Why a podcast rather than an article I can read in (conservatively!) 1/10th of your runtime?" Aimless chatcasts only fly with immense, one-in-millions skill and charisma.

This is perfect in every way and so is Louise (though of course you might die of her).
November 20, 2025 at 5:15 PM
Unacceptable.

You've got my vote.

This flavor of bureaucratic requirement seems so silly to me (and versions of if show up in so many contexts). Like, do you hire a general contractor to build your house by asking "Have you built my house before?" No, you ask "Can you build a house?"—your house didn't exist before, numbnuts!

I truly love that you call him the Elbow Man and give him great praises.

(I am a busted person who has lost most of my strength and muscle mass, and I really want to get some of it back so that I can reasonably tolerate and benefit from the skills of an Elbow Practitioner.)

Because casual, brutal sadism tacitly sanctioned by every institution and social structure that ought to stand up to it is undeniably infuriating and this was a perfect Technicolor film still of its performance. (And this piece from June just keeps hitting: www.liberalcurrents.com/the-politi/)
The Politics of Humiliation
The politics of humiliation has moved to the center of the reactionary project under Trump II.

Rain. It's just rain. It's just a pretentious bit of corporate jargon that some brand consultant came up with during marketing development for those waterproof shoes we see advertised all over the place.

Sending you strength for, uh...the next couple of months, unfortunately, sorry, it shouldn't be like this?!
November 19, 2025 at 5:39 AM
I have no great hatred of it, but I feel strongly that it should never appear before the first of December. One month is PLENTY.
