I defended my PhD 10 years ago today. That was the least remarkable thing that happened that day. Sharing something I wrote about it last year. Since then "the horrors persist but so do we." And with dignity.

Thinking aloud time. You are forewarned. In the discussion about publishing houses likely skimping on edits, someone mentioned (not as a good thing, this was despair talking) that the readers can't tell, they like slop. And I don't think they do, but I think there's a lack of education at work.

There's an Atlantic article (its always fucking the Atlantic) accusing Lindy West of having "rapid-onset bisexuality" and 1) people hate fat women so much 2) people have bi women so much 3) it was only a matter of time before they started using anti-trans lingo against other letters in the acronym

Since the switch to bsky its been real hard to fight the feeling of "no one cares about other people's WoLs anymore" and I am trying not to throw a pity party about it

i am as kindling to the fires which smolder within you, o my lord, for i was born to serve such as you are. i, and i alone. for pierced through by the fury, i am, body and soul; and you, my lord, were forged the blessèd ranseur in her grasp. #gipose | #gisaymeric

Today I worked at a very small new to me library and experienced: + a tiny poodle wandering around occasionally allowing pets + the most comfy high backed chair + a fireplace they turned on for me + when I wanted coffee they had! With ceramic mugs!

It's here! It's here! Presenting version 1.0 of "The food and drink of Hydaelyn and beyon", a culinary compendium of FFXIV's food- and drink-related lore, to use, elaborate on, or ignore as you please. I can't wait to see what you all do with this. Happy cooking!

Reference vs Art I join in with "your reference can look entirely ridiculous and still give you great information". DAZ 3D + Blender. I'm a very strong believer in making your own references. Whether it's selfies, 3D software, traditional sculpting, friends posing... there are so many great ways
