I have gotten pretty free about blocking people on sight because I saw them being kind of a dingdong and let me tell you it's not a bad way to live

I'm on the last scene of the chapter 4 script!!! kept telling myself I could make it shorter than chapter 3 and remained fully in denial about it up until the very end

I try to approach my internet presence with the intent of making it a positive experience for anyone who hoves into earshot but boy howdy sometimes you wanna grab a bottle by the neck and shatter it on the bar

Chapter 4 progress report: plot skeleton fully nailed in! got about fifty pages left to write. shooting to be done early next month, then I'll draw up a little buffer before getting back to updates

I've been putting this off, but I'm going to pause Arrhythmia updates for a bit while I finish hammering the rest of the chapter 4 script into order. I've been winging it a bit more than I'm comfortable with and don't want to continue doing that as we approach the chapter's second half

the "death of the author" thing has always wilded me out. I took one single class in college on 20th century literary theories and it's always been apparent to me that we're just doing New Criticism over and over again

every time someone cites the dunning-kruger effect and I remember that the popular take on dunning-kruger has been pretty effectively discredited, it is like an ouroboros of irony. it is irony with a side of irony. irony staring into the abyss and the abyss winking audibly

on the downside, merriam-webster has installed an AI chatbot on its site. on the upside, after removing the site from my bookmarks, I got to pull out my thesaurus from my bookcase and blow dust off it like a wizard seeking the ancient wisdoms

I was scared of making calls to representatives when I first started. That was 2017. They proved to be an excellent way to diminish that fear! People are polite when they pick up, 9 times out of 10 I get voicemail even during business hours, and to this day I still feel better about myself afterward

something I've been thinking about is encouraging folks who are scared of phone calls and confrontation to work on getting better at it. I took First Aid training and helped a woman after a bicycle accident. I hated it, I was shaking, it was scary, but it's the right thing to do and we need to do it

as a child: made a lot of tasteless and violent jokes as a teen: learned to be more careful with comedy and consider context, embarrassed of past behavior as an adult: hear a 4 year old make a dead baby joke, laugh like a hyena
