I finally sat down and wrote an arrangement I'd wanted to write for MONTHS and my stupid computer rewarded me by not saving ANY OF IT

I dressed like Diana Taverner at work today to channel some girlboss energy but instead I'm filled with barely-concealed rage and plans for world domination

Poor Eric

"I do not believe in technodeterminism" has become my mantra this week

I want to thank Ilia Malinin, on behalf of all NOVA kids, for finally doing what every NOVA kid aspires to do, but rarely achieves: being the center of the universe

Catching up on video game news

the olympics are so normal

Didn't think I'd get Olympics spoilers from LINKEDIN but here we are

"my name is tteok!" to celebrate the lunar new year, here's an 8-page mini zine about my little rice cake OC (1/5)

I can't believe I waited this long to read The Amber Spyglass... this book... is so good but so heartbreaking...

Can someone do the provocative thing and write a book with a pregnant character but they DON'T give birth at the end of the book

existential cookie message from the olympics website

i like that ilia malinin dresses like a dark souls

I went to the repair store that was fixing my Switch controllers and made an impassioned speech about how I had an AC villager in boxes and if I didn't have my controllers back soon, then I'd be stuck with some random ugly villager ...they moved me to the front of the queue

Why do they call them "podcast appearances" if no one can see you

"What is upmarket?" I ask to a room of literary people. "Upmarket blends elements of literary and commercial fiction to--" Someone starts to answer, but I cut them off. "Not much, what's up with you?" I am forcibly removed from the bookstore

that's it for Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase. another Direct with no Silksong.

SURROUND YOURSELF WITH THE RIGHT PEOPLE. My friend invited me to a seminar where we learn to fold maps. And yes, you get to keep the maps after. YOUR NETWORK IS YOUR MINDSET.

Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream WOULD actually fix me, but Nintendo knows I am one of God's strongest warriors so they hold out

to maybe make a bit of a comical understatement, life is being a real stinker today. The stinker-ness has been escalating for the past week

We're so close, everyone... stay strong

Sorry for so many random thoughts posts, I didn't journal today and usually that is my outlet for outbursts like this

Where are my Catherine Standish from Slow Horses stans. I adore her. A crossbody purse icon!!!

Quick q for the Italians in chat: are pizza sauce and pasta sauce interchangeable. Asking for the purposes of my lunch

50% excited for the Artemis II mission to send people back to the moon and 50% excited for the new track Sleeping At Last will drop about it

We're doing great, guys. We're not talking about the less-than-psychic ground rat that lives in Pennsylvania, or a Bill Murray movie that's a 6/10 at best. We have self-control. We're going to get through today.

I wanna play animal crossing but all my controllers are being repaired

Can we please not do Groundhog Day tomorrow. Can we just have a normal day please

Recovering from a migraine is like crawling out of a crater to find everyone else walking their dog and smiling and enjoying the sun

I hate when I waffle on taking migraine medication because the migraine isn't "that bad", but then when I take it I don't immediately get better. Come on what was the point just work already

I can’t stop thinking about this

Coming back from a tropical vacation to the dreariest Seattle weather I definitely feel like "damn, y'all live like this?" When I've lived like this for years

I don't know who needs to hear this but girl wash your glasses. Soap and water. Microfiber cloth. Please

Game devs pro tip: I think it's great if you make 1000 unique NPCs you can date, or the game will let you take out a mortgage on any of the houses in the game, but don't forget the game is also supposed to be fun

I think more professions should take the Hippocratic Oath. Seems like something not necessarily limited to doctors

Sometimes I get down on myself for not doing the Instagram creator hustle, when I know some people who are doing well and benefitting--but then I go on LinkedIn and feel thankful that I'm not one of those people, either

Four days into journaling every morning and I'm completely out of original thoughts

How Can We Solve the Loneliness Epidemic? We Asked Everyone at that Brunch You Weren't Invited To

I've never been able to keep up a journaling habit, but I'm trying this "morning pages" thing and so far it's like a couple paragraphs about me complaining about the weather, and then I start brainstorming ideas for cool wizards. Bullet journal girlies, I think this is how you're supposed to do it.

I could never be a critic because there is no correlation between what I like and what is objectively good. I like things so long as they are vibrating on the same wavelength as my brain is when I experience them. That does not mean that it is high quality. My brain vibrates weird sometimes.

I'm gonna read more weird books this year, if anyone has any recommendations. I'm starting with Beautyland by Marie-Helene Bertino

I explained to my mother who Todd Howard was and unprompted she just yelled "TODD!!" Up to the sky in anguish, I didn't teach her to do that, I'm so proud

i have never used an adverb in my life

Holiday pro tip! If you've visiting your hometown and run into someone you used to know at the grocery store, remember: you're actually wildly successful now

Just read through my whole (new) manuscript for the first time and I feel this weird glowing feeling in my chest!! It's either pride for getting to the end of this stage, or because I love these little guys, or my arc reactor is malfunctioning

The incredible timing of getting this email the day after I finished my draft. Impeccable. Evil. Aaaaaaa

I'm not saying it's a parasocial relationship, I'm saying maybe we WOULD be friends if the podcasters let me get a word in once in a while

Draft 2 is 84,500 words and I almost gave up on it two million times

Wow I can't believe I wrote the perfect novel on the first try, go me For legal reasons this is a joke
