Curiosity killing the nine-lived cat seems like a bit of a slipup in the proverb department.

Thank you, our lord of destruction!

We launch the semicolons at dawn, my fairest; I fear a Proustian Victory, by which we emerge victorious yet fatally convoluted. With God + faith on our side, we may yet rout those swirly bastards + their violence against coordinating conjuctions.

My Love + Our Children,

The War of the Ampersands continues unabated. I've seen entire clauses turn dependent, witnessed infinitives drawn + quartered, + drenched my hands in the blood of our enemies.

Just the redbuds blooming for Halloween. Nothing scary about that. What could possibly be terrifying about both hemispheres of the planet going through Spring at once? It's just climate *alignment* and it's bringing us all together.

I need to acknowledge my unhealthy relationship with the em dash

I could: go cold turkey and only use full stops; rely more on semicolons, but those are a morass unless the structure supports it; wave things along with a lazily evocative ellipsis...

But no--I can't--I shan't!--part w my sweet em

The Alters Made Me Feel Like I Was Talking To Myself The Alters is a fun game, to be sure, but it's also a deeply personal and moving one, and I'm glad that I experienced its intimate themes firsthand.

If you have a chance to play a few hours of The Alters, this illuminates why the experience is so impactful. The game insists that you examine your own internal psychological architecture--it's base management by Jung, and it's worth your time for the voice acting alone: gamerant.com/the-alters-p...

SANDYMANCER (2023, #book)

A plucky nobody from the sticks falls in with a calculating bitch-on-wheels of a god, adventures ensue! A very good read mixing magic, science, sci-fi, and sadness on a dying world. Pointedly queer & pleasurable.
