Found this on the AO3 subreddit, and I'm about to let it change my whole life (or at least work really hard to internalize it wrt my writing).

Hi! Did you know that you aren’t pronouncing axolotl correctly?

Suppression of indigenous languages by the Spanish is one of the Four Wounds of Colonization. This is a small subversion of colonial power you can use!

Axolotl is a Nahuatl word, and it sounds like this:

having a Mood this morning & got the itch to listen to a particular song. did some cathartic head-banging. almost hunted down a link to share with folks and then actually /listened/ to the lyrics and no. not sharing this earworm. it's all a little too on-the-nose. <_<;;;

finally going to have a bit of spending money this week & idk if i want to splurge on merch or get a tattoo (either way, impulse control is out the window)

minor alt text nitpick: band members aren't just holding the Palestinian flag- they are mimicking the Flag Raising on Iwo Jima. i adore this choice! 🇵🇸

ever look at upcoming projects at your job and want to scream & cry?

i was not hired for this work. but no one else is going to do it. i just want a break, is that too much to ask for?

Krile: Unfortunately, yes.

opened a short original fiction story i'd written back in 2009 & was immediately hit with the reminder that bbwriter!Shim was told All Contractions Are Bad

two sentences in & i'm itching to edit...

just realized that my next few months are going to be absolute mayhem at work & i probably don't get a vacation until next year...

If asked, Shimera will say she's Lominsan- they took her in at her lowest and it's home now.

For backstory's sake:
Her mom lived her whole life in the South Shroud & was 100% mooncat. Shim's dad was a wandering Ala Mhigan suncat. She was born & raised in the Shroud before running away.

I'm curious on the demographic (?), but from where did your OC come from?

i think assigning kpdh songs to my chronic-project ocs may have brought a spark of joy into my morning- esp assigning "How it's Done" & "Takedown" to men who would never listen to those songs
;p

- Flying pancake acquired.
- 1.5 runs of new A-Raid complete.
- MSQ? Nope. Nada.

And I probably won’t be able to do anything of it until Monday & tbh I’m not sure I’m gonna have the motivation to do it. Idk. Losing the joy in your main hobby sucks.

Maybe I’ll try to fish up this little guy instead of doing MSQ? :q
THIS IS A FISHABLE MINION.

WE HAVE THE FIRST FISHABLE MINION SINCE STORMBLOOD.

THIS IS NOT A DRILL.

Maybe if I love too much all at once I can use it all up and finally dispose of the heart that has caused me nothing but trouble.

Writing self-indulgent fic to try to salvage my mood. I don’t think it’s working, but at least I’m writing?

Brb, going to commit some baking crimes since I can’t get my hands on reasonably priced cinnamon rolls.

Last 30 mins of the work day and my brain has checked out HARD. 🫠

As an em dash enthusiast, every time I see talk of how it has become “a sign of AI” I feel violent. This is the punctuation of my people (mood writers whose work falls within the ‘no plot just vibes’ genre)
