I wish the only problem I had to deal with was the fact that I like to have my hair long aesthetically but my long hair refuses to stay in any scrunchie, elastic, hair tie, hair band, hair pin, hair stick, hair comb, claw clip, or other contraption, to the point it's sensory hell when I try to sleep

I don't even know where the damn screenshot came up from lmfao I'm out here sending funny animal pics to my classroom discord server and there it was?? I haven't seen it in MONTHS
Anyhoo. 5 pm on a Friday is probably the best time to get into my feels because I don't have much going on this weekend

I accidentally made myself sad by reading a poem I wrote years ago about a father knowing he and his toddler son are going to be g*nocided by an oppressive political power which was actually a companion to a short story which was actually one of an anthology companion to my WIP trilogy

The funnest (by which I mean most excruciating) problem I encounter both as a writer and as an editor is dealing with impossibly articulate and long-winded dialogue in urgent situations.
I know it's not plausible but it is compelling, so now what do I do?

Twitter, as was, had a certain flavour of unpredictable, unhinged, wack "discourse" I enjoyed being part of.
A large part of my inability to settle into bluesky stems from wondering if I should ease into that carefully cultivated online persona or dive head-first into the deep end here

Of course my body chooses exactly the period in which I have to do time sensitive and logistically intricate tasks to go on a health downswing
Here I am, the night before I fly out to the next chapter of my life, cursing fluently, packing in a flurry

My head needs cracking open like a coconut and all the phlegm collected in my sinus cavity scraped out and my neural circuitry re-tightened and then left to air out for 8-10 business days

About 24 hours ago, the hypersphere model of the universe's geometry was revealed to me and while I'm not agreeing or disagreeing with its plausibility, I've spent the last whole day sobbing in awe because my brain is at breaking point
I wish I could sculpt this vision I have of infinity 😭

Buckle up. I've got thoughts about the white supremacist being published in F&SF, and how a lot of y'all are treating Sheree.
I guarantee some of you are about to get your feelings hurt because I see y'all doing the exact thing I'm about to talk about. 1/?

Is it too late to pretend that I am, in fact, LeGuin’s secret furry alt-account?
@tkingfisher.bsky.social a little embarrassed to admit this but until today I mistakenly believed you were Ursula K. Le Guin. I can’t fully explain why, tbh. Like your account was her furry account.

I have had so many bullshit responses to when I complained about capped salaries vis-à-vis the Peter Principle
I shouldn't have to do a job I'm bad at, don't have the aptitude for, no interest in, and don't like to get better pay despite years of professional experience

But also…I freelance because I’m a terrible manager and I like doing the work I’m good at. But without moving into management, your options for better pay are limited in a lot of places.
