I am so sorry, Bsky never notified me of this mention!

The full post is here, of course.

Dinah has a whole JOURNEY in this operetta.
My engraving is just as messy as my sketching. I need to clean this up for performance once the piece is finished.
10 days to go and only two numbers left!

Literally the day after Asher wrote this, Kerzner goes and jumps up and down saying "It's meee, it's meee, it's meee."
She's so confident she can dictate what people *actually* say that she doesn't bother to make it line up to reality.
Michael is sending you my message, stop taking the bait, idiot.😹

Adam got put on timeout by Queen Marlena for getting his boots all over the clean sheets. That's what happened.

Lies gain power through repetition.

Repeat the TRUTH.

Moya Brennan passing away at still a relatively young age is so sad. She was a continuous voice in my childhood alongside her sister.
A hard year for Enya especially, after losing Nicky Ryan.

Irish musician Moya Brennan dies aged 73 Moya Brennan, best known as the lead singer of Grammy and BAFTA-winning group Clannad, has died aged 73.

I am in love with your art!

That moment when you accidentally channel Kurt Weill while composing an aria for Alice's cat, Dinah.

If you haven’t heard about it yet, the youths are super into IRL human interactions, no AI, and “physical media” (vinyl! DVDs! tapes!) right now and it’s glorious.

Like there are 20yo influencers that just read old paper books and talk about feelings.

"A clock unraveled into paper birds that whispered elevator songs; my shadow drank moonlight through a keyhole while the city stitched its skyline from teaspoons of blue regret and a lantern mourned the sound of rain."

Can you tell the difference? I can. 3/3

A phrase like "All I have to say is that when the wind is in the west and the midnight hour has percolated its last usufruct through my mother's goiter pads, we shall taste joy because I know a hole in the ground" is human made. Whereas this one is LLM-generated: 3/3

LLMs, despite being instructed to be surrealistic, must hew to their probabilistic matrix and very quickly return to coherence. Human surrealism often has a specific intent like mocking of linguistic rules, conformity and the social norms of the bourgeoisie. LLMs serve word soups instead.
So...1/3

Charlene, Asher told you that you had no authorization to use his screenshots, and that we wanted nothing to do with you.

Why did you persist?

Everyone should know better by now.

Your inability to read is not our fault, and you will not foist your failure and contradiction on us.

Went do what?

In its defense, some farts can be ominously atmospheric. Especially after a Schnitzel meal.

Support your local library cat!

I love singing Don Ottavio— he's pretty easy in my voice, and I can do his coloratura in one breath.

You've been trying to remember that for a while, haven't you? XD

Some people don't really understand the concept of economic autonomy and how much that closes the world to you when you don't have it.

One of the mythological figures not often talked about, but for whom I have a very soft spot, is Argus Panoptes.

Hands, feet, the intercostals and the armpit. The human body is a deathtrap for artists.

Aye aye, cap'n! I will report on the result of my next disaste---er--- mission, once the operetta is complete!

... Oh no, don't do this to me. I am already captured by OW2 XD

I haven't been playing it as much as I want to 'cause I've got an operetta to finish by the 23rd. But after that? Hehehehhee.

How do people feel about accounts that are split up? I see some creative people who combine all their interests... art, music, writing, into a single account, but I've ALSO seen them create specific accounts for their art, their music, and then a separate social account. How's that worked for you?

Foomf: As long as I've known you (and that goes back QUITE a ways, to before you had your current superior mastery of English) you've never avoided identifying yourself, though you might be using some different alias, which has been more the use of a public role, like Merryjest, Maus, etc. but it's always been clearly YOU and I've never seen you deny it. Merryjest: Well, it was ORIGINALLY Maus Merryjest and… an abominably long sequence of names after that because for about three years starting fresh off on the internet, I suffered from Princess Honeydew Sunflower syndrome as every teenager on the internet did at one point or another XD Foomf: Yes, it was amusing, but always clearly identifiable. And finding one's own identity is a traditional and appropriate thing to do. Merryjest: THAT was the actual name, it's been a long time since I've looked at Elf Only Inn. Image posted: The image is a stylized character profile card with a black background and bold orange title text at the top reading “Lady Sunset Autumn Honey Purity Sunflower Rainbow.” The layout resembles an old forum or character wiki entry. On the right side is a cartoon illustration of a red-haired female character with pale skin, drawn in a simple, slightly exaggerated style. She wears a strapless outfit and has a confident, slightly mischievous expression. The left side contains a dense block of white text describing the character in an intentionally over-the-top, humorous way. It explains that she is a “star elf vampire,” only partially vampiric, able to function like a normal person and selectively drink blood. The description leans into absurdity, mentioning unusual traits, her extremely long and ornate name, and her personality—quiet, shy, but very sweet and friendly.

Know someone who knows you from your REAL awkward days.

My friend foomf whom I've known for nigh on 18 years, telling me I am too much of a flamboyant ham to be anonymous.

Close friends? Yes, actually, I have them. It's almost like you should never take the words of someone who rewrites history to their benefit at face value. I made that mistake.
