Gender euphoria for me is when literally no one can decide what I am. All I tell them is I prefer they/them, but between he/him and she/her, I don't care what they decide to call me.

Why... are my favorite fic ideas always so INVOLVED? The minimum word count is 3k! It's probably going to end up being 5 times that! And my brain hasn't been working good on the focusing without ADHD meds! 😭

It's going to destroy me when Varyen (my cat) dies... It destroyed me when Valkyrie (another cat) died, and I had her for a fraction of the time I've had him... There may not be much left of me.

I'm actually going to use this as a jumping-off point for a more general thread on zines. I think a lot of us writers and artists see a zine application as one-way evaluation, where the mods judge our work & decide if we're a fit for the project. But the evaluation needs to go both ways. (1/?)

Anyone putting together a zine: Vet your finance and shipping mods VERY carefully. Back in 2023, Cym/Kroalias signed up to be the finance and shipping mod for dozens of physical zines and then did not ship what people had paid for. The money went missing and much of it has still not been paid back.

PSA: If you, like me, are a writer with a crippling perfectionism problem that causes you to burn out on a fic because there's no such thing as a rough draft and it has to be perfect on the first try, I would like to suggest writing your first draft as bullet points. Each scene is a new section.

Apparently, I'm squinting at astrophysics high. Literally just randomly started thinking about the void between objects in space and how there has to be *something* there holding objects suspended in all directions for an unknowable distance... You've discovered: [THE FABRIC OF SPACE-TIME]

It's really. Upsetting to me. That I can't make food downstairs in the middle of the night without my heart racing when the stairs creak because the cat is on them, because I briefly think it's my housemate. ☠️
