Ideal work schedule:
I show up and am given a list of cognitively engaging but achievable tasks
I complete the list
I leave immedietly
#this is my job currently and I remind myself every day to be thankful cuz it is a wonderful way to do job#but they pay me by task (sort of/I'm simplifying) and there arent enough tasks#I just need a little more money 🤲 please sir#please sir may I have some more

me when I think about building a bedframe out of stainless steel struts and an eco friendly wood veneer: I should borrow some screws from my aunt

knives out is so good for so many reasons but I really appreciate how utterly, absolutely, devastatingly sad it is that Harlan didn't have to die. he didn't want anything bad to happen to Marta because of a mistake she didn't actually make. he would've been fine. she was his friend and he died to protect her. what a perfectly executed tragedy.

But what if there’s nothing I’d like more in the world to read an essay about the orbital mechanics of my world? Who cares if it’s intended to prove me wrong? I’m definitely gonna be wrong about orbital mechanics! But three moons are cool and if someone did math on them and yelled it at me I would giggle and twirl my hair and kick my feet
speculative fiction writers i am going to give you a really urgent piece of advice: don't say numbers. don't give your readers any numbers. how heavy is the sword? lots. how old is that city? plenty. how big is the fort? massive. how fast is the spaceship? not very, it's secondhand.
the minute you say a number your readers can check your math and you cannot do math better than your most autistic critic. i guarantee. don't let your readers do any math. when did something happen? awhile ago. how many bullets can that gun fire? trick question, it shoots lasers, and it shoots em HARD.
you are lying to people for fun. if you let them do math at you the lie collapses and it's no fun anymore.

2025 is going to feel like this
#welcoming? dreadful? mysterious? hopeful? yes#who emerges from the fog?#our friends?#dire enemies?#how long have we been awaiting their approach#dare we meet them deeper in the fog?#what if they need our help?#what if we need theirs?#how much courage does it take to extend our hand to those still faceless?#how much naivety will it take to save them?#when we can’t know one another how much strength will it take#to reach out across the unknown?
