God’s Own Country is arriving soon in my mailbox because I’m kicking it old school and actually trying to own my media.
I have a piece due for workshopping today and I had a revelation on some necessary fixes… but there is not time for them. 😩 and I’m not allowed to say, I know, give me other feedback. :(
I need 7.5 hours of sleep. Puppies (very old ones) need 5. The math is not mathing and I am very sleepy. Puppy picture tax:

If this story had a theme song, it would be Octopus’s Garden by the Beatles. That’s the vibe. Low stakes, let’s chill and garden, and also I’ll help you through your season, cuz I’m such a good bud like that.
As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.
There is no ethical consumption of HBO’s Harry Potter series
You can’t without supporting Rowling’s transphobic bigotry.

Watched Companion over the weekend. It was very good, and left me a bit worn out. Too close, maybe, to reality. Vibe-wise, very similar to Promising Young Woman.
A big day. Homework, edits, shopped for the dogs and myself. Work and writing to do tomorrow.

I have met my shadow half, and I recognize some very frustrating ways I prioritize and process and also, yeah, that ADHD is feeling more and more like a thing I have.
Saw a post to sketch your MC, and honestly, I have no idea what he looks like. Human. Otherwise… ?
I love Hanahaki and I cannot lie.

I just reread The Raven Boys and the way Maggie Stiefvater uses language makes me want to chew gravel. ‘An introspective pool of blood,’ ‘a smile made for war,’ ‘half-formed raven,’ (referring to a hatchling)… love, love, love.

I did not do all the things I was trying to do this weekend. But I did a LOT. And I feel accomplished.
I love writing. So much of it is just me going, ‘oh, these two idiots,’ very fondly and repeatedly in my head.
I feel an inexplicable, urgent need to watch Deep Blue Sea for the first time in most of 2 decades.

I loved: Dead Collections by Isaac Feldman And several by genderqueer authors, but I don’t know if they identify with the trans label, so.

Julia M Perroni@juliamperroni.bsky.social · last mo.Reminder as semester starts up to all profs: AI detectors are not a reliable way to know whether someone's writing is AI, and furthermore professors are not police. If the writing is bad, it's bad. If the sources are fake, they're fake. Otherwise: no cop shit. jeffreymoro.com/blog/2020-02...
This week is a lot. I have plans every single evening. I have plans for the weekend. I’m tired just thinking about it.
