also one of my favorite parts in ahsoka is when she says that she doesn’t need sabine to be a jedi, she just needs her to be herself. i thought that was powerful. connection to the force shouldn’t even be about making yourself a perfect whatever, when all you need is to be yourself and not be a sith

I'm enjoying Bluesky but it doesn't feel like I need to urgently check it every day. I'm not sure if I like that better or not, but I do know I keep suddenly realizing I haven't checked it in days

The true "balance" in Star Wars is between earnest discussions of the philosophy of the Force and politics of the Republic on one end, and the goofiest collection of Glup Shittos on the other. This is the secret equilibrium that must be maintained

I just don't want to be the sort of person who only spends their time correcting people on here making factually inaccurate Star Wars observations, I try to tell myself as I click the reply button, my hand visibly shaking.

I knew I wasn't going to get a lot of writing done this week but I was unprepared for how exactly much not writing got done this week. +0 words so far. #writingcommunity

I'm a firm believer in the positive benefits of spite. I can do anything if I can just imagine someone out there who would be really mad if I did it.

Many droids are non-binary (gender) but no droids are non-binary (math)

Had a really good writing day today, almost doubled my word count on my WIP. 2446 written, total 5414 so far

I hope some of them were good! #writingcommunity

I'm not doing NaNoWriMo for various reasons (mostly because November is a particularly terrible month for my day job) but I am going to try to post the word count for my current project on here, to give myself that barest wisp of accountability

So: Started last week, 2968 so far

In 2006 a high school English teacher asked students to write to a famous author & ask for advice.

KURT VONNEGUT - born 101yrs ago today - was the only one to respond.

His reply was just wonderful.

I write both original fiction and fanfiction, though my fanfiction tends to be mostly OCs so it's also kinda like original fiction where I'm just too lazy to come up with a new setting. Filing off those serial numbers is hard!

Profile picture! This is PKE-6, a personal probe droid from the Star Wars fanfiction I'm currently writing. (Art also by me.)

The algorithm made me a liar in like 30 seconds by showing that post to people, too.

The first post on a new social media account is weird because you know that literally no one is going to see it *now* because you have no followers yet. Only people in The Future will ever read it.

Hello, future people! I am what we back in this simpler era call a writer, here to write things.
