TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque: "This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

What if it happens today? What if it happens on live TV? What if it happens in the middle of a sentence? Wow. What if.

got new glasses

Never let a machine make an emotional decision for you as a creator. Let it do math, fill out crowds, or fill out spreadsheets. Don't let it make storytelling choices. Don't let it draw what belongs to your imagination. Those decisions take experience, intuition, imagination, fear, hope, and daring.

I have taken the half-eaten slice of chocolate cake from the fridge and set it next to my keyboard. That is Monday's forecast.

dang i might actually finish this novel in the next three weeks. let's go, first drafts! The first act has actually had . . . many drafts. Who cares! There's no rules! Only suffering with mild relief at finishing and then more suffering! WOOO!

unfortunate you can't date the wizard in stardew valley when he's so obviously down to clown

sorry, it's just not clear and I haven't been able to google an answer. are tradwives "allowed" (or "divinely intended" or whatever they believe) to play Mario Kart?

been putting myself to sleep drafting very specific curses. not like “fuck them!” but like “may their organs desiccate in their bodies and may their only lust be for the grave.”

Friends of Change The light is doing me good ☀️ #art #animalart #fox #traditionalart

my kid still has a fever and has been saying “OpEn sALAmi” in a voice like Mario approximately once every two minutes for the past five hours
