Everything blew up with J again. Was told the story he worked 8 years on was being ruined because of me, so I had to go. He was tired of being the middle guy, they were tired of walking on eggshells. He wants me to tell him how to fix things. I say he won't like the answers if I had any to give-

New receptionist hit a milestone at work: getting the shit scared out of her by me coming out of the back room. I'm like the office ghost: appears randomly, makes sudden noises, moves objects without anyone noticing, lurks in doorways

Today I learned that baby cranes are called "colts" because their legs are so long and they can run around like idiots shortly after hatching. This is delightful, I enjoy knowing this.

I love how scalpers act like they own pokemon cards now. like "this isn't a kid's game anymore" like yes it is. it's still a kids game that used to be easily accessible to kids until you ruined it. it's not and never was for you to hoard.

Once I can bring myself to talk with J again, I was thinking of asking him to add a familiar to the dnd campaign in Quigley's honor. I won't be able to see it played, but I think L will lose her shit over it, which is kind of a bonus. (I'm being mean I know. In my angry era)

We will need AO3 more than ever, because companies that have decided Fan Content Is Advertising will soon decide The Wrong Fan Content Is Defamation; Pls Accept This C&D Order. Doesn't directly help with videos or art, but fans can make AO3 pages and point to wherever the content is.

While it's fascinating to see Hollywood etc embrace fan edits as promotional material, the history of corporate awareness of fandom always follows the track of "oh good; free advertising" followed by "wait what's with all the porn? Make it go away!" And then they try to ban what they don't like.
