freelancing + academia has made me get 1000% more mad at the suggestion that people should work for free

It's honestly miraculous Traji was able to bring her sweet baby Ayla into the world in the midst of actual literal famine. Please help Traji protect this fragile little life if you're at all able.

I’ve been experimenting with watercolor paints, here’s a painting of the Altus plateau in Elden Ring and a painting of the momo jhol I had for lunch.

This video is great, especially Peter’s focus on the multiplayer aspect. As he says, I really hope people working at any outlets will take this opportunity to boycott Xbox games coverage. This motivated me to double check the studios of things I cover.

tbh I’ve found it weird for a long time how much cultural space military shooters get to take up given what they are advertisements for and represent

A man asked me last night what publishing needs to do for literary fiction to begin appealing to men again. I said, as nicely as I could, that, with over 2,000 books published every Tuesday, of which many would appeal to men, it’s not a publishing problem, it’s a men problem.

so exciting!

I don’t think anyone who’s made it through the pod phase of LIB has ever read that

I’m convinced he chat-gptd a summary of the Alchemist as a plot to entrap this woman

guy on love is blind recommending The Alchemist is so funny. Like that book every US student reads in high school? you would love that.

Not mentioning the writer or sharing their post, but I think a lot of mainstream news editors tend to understate (sometimes with deliberate malice) the power that a newspaper has by simply being an outlet of record that regularly runs editorial that defends the worst actions of a state.

Perfect Tides at Four - Meredith Gran Perfect Tides was released 4 years ago last week on February 22nd, 2022. I didn’t quite get it together to write this post at the time, but it was

It's been 4 years since the release of the original Perfect Tides. I wrote down some feelings about it on my blog:

Secret Places of Pain - Unwinnable “My identity was so tied up in my work, and the work itself lacked confidence. It was confusing to be loved.”

My combo interview-review of Station to Station featuring @meredithgran.com is now up for non-subscribers:

thought brought to you by a vox podcast where the male host asks a female researcher “will current politics make this issue better or worse?” and she just stares at him like 😐

Disco Elysium text: “Are women bourgeois? Oh god, that’s bad. Surely I can think of something better."

The way US birth rates and youth isolation is talked about as a male problem that can be solved if women just deal with it drives me nuts and it’s so pervasive in every area. Literally this but unironically

Folks, the government didn't kill PBS. It's still here even after funding has been cut. You can donate $5 or more and get access to a ton of their stuff on streaming too, including lots of local shows. It's a good deal.

latest one is the 3 Houses team in this analogy (so, the good ones imo lol)

Much like fire emblem games, Mitski albums alternate being pretty ok and being the best thing you’ve ever experienced

it is weird to know the peak of success as a content creator is "many brand deals and a podcast with multiple advertisers" while I was taught in journalism school how some reporters do not drink coffee at press events to avoid conflicts of interests

US-Israel war on Iran Death toll from Iran school bombing reportedly rises to almost 150 Strike on girls’ elementary school in south of Iran has killed 148 people and injured 95 others, according to Iran state media

Intoletable. How anyone's response to this can be anything other than abject rage and disgust is beyond me.
