#Alaska can our Health Dept help us out #akleg?

You can add up all the enjoyable pursuits of LLMs and the work productivity hacks and none of them, separately or together, will be more important than AI’s ecological costs or political disruption.

“We” is more important here.

Just read a book where the most unbelievable thing wasn't the ghosts but the full kitchen gut renovation only taking a month

Hundreds (thousand?) of people lining the streets in Fairbanks Saturday morning. What a difference between this boisterous and enthusiastic crowd and the few dour counter-protesters driving by in their substitutes for masculinity.

Spice girls meme if you wanna steal my data you gotta be a US-based corporation

A girl's gotta have her standards...

revising is like the kombucha girl meme - 99% “ew, who wrote that” followed by 1% “hey hey, who wrote that"

She looks so much like my dog! She was the best girl, so by transitive property, Leia is also the best girl

One of my all-time favorites (I also love her Nancy Drew series)

ME, SOBBING: Please, Emily, you can't give all your 100 characters the same 4 names
EMILY BRONTE: *points* That's Earnshaw Linton. *points* That's Cathy Heathcliff. *points* Heathcliff Linton. *points* Cathy Cathy. *points* Earnshaw Cathy Jr. *pause* And they're all GHOSTS.

Couldn't sleep, so I wrote 1277 words for #mini1000 between 12 and 1:30am. Haven't decided if those count for yesterday or today

1336 for today's #mini1000 so far. Trying to get through 50k of revision so I'd like to do more than 1000 -- feasible since it's revision rather than drafting -- but I'll take every k I can get

queer witchy ya wip: 130 writing days this year, 143,497 words (2.5 drafts so far)
book i'd planned to draft this year: 8 writing days and 2889 words lmao #amwriting

A person's feet in red Converse next to a barbell loaded with 4x10 lb black bumper plates (85 total lbs)

About damn time (6 weeks off is 7 weeks too many)

You can't even buy one USPS stamp for that anymore!

The best Christmas movie (we watched it yesterday)

Dark blue sky with the pale yellow and pink beginnings of sunrise over a frozen river and snow-covered spruce trees.

Beginnings of a solstice sunrise

Sending vodka and chips and a Cranberries cd (the show's wrecked me twice now)

Fucking terrible.

Once, Harriet Beecher Stowe and George Eliot's had a big fight when spiritualist Stowe's claimed she'd summoned Charlotte Brontë's ghost. Frankly, I'd rather have that. (Charlotte would never)

I love a good pathetic fallacy

It made me physically ill following updates from the Supreme Court today. Sending love to trans people, trans kids especially, and their families because… whew. Enduring this kind of hostility is an experience us cisgender will never fully understand.

(I am fine; routine procedure, etc etc)

This is totally "posting through it" behavior for which I'll inaccurately blame the drugs later, but the little automatic compression sleeves the hospital had put on my calves make me feel like Baymax every time they inflate

an aisle of the stacks at U of Michigan

Library stacks at the University of Michigan.

These places are enchanted spaces and I love them. It's here that you'll find the old, forbidden, forgotten, dusty books of trouble, rebellion, resistance, and knowledge. This place doesn't care about bestsellers, face-out displays, etc.

A frozen corn plant sits crumpled in the snow, lit by the pink grow light coming through the window. A predawn dark blue sky is overhead. The soil is coated in invisible dead gnats.

Fungus Gnats Ate my Corn Plant's Roots and Tried to Invade my House so I Put the Plant Out in the Snow and Now It's Dead but my Other Plants are Safe: A Parable

Some of us like the cold and dark (hi from Alaska)

The earlier newspaper/theater/band kid discourse has made me more excited for my current writing project about witchy, horny, and queer band/newspaper/theater kids taking on the man
