Things In A Name

I’m not avoiding my destiny I just had to lie down

Every time I see some joke about Star Trek-style teleporter technology I'm like "I should write a story about the potential of this technology re: the whole 'killing and copying people' thing and the ramifications of being able to essentially print people" and then I remember I already wrote it. Every single time.

#Holy fuck, this story changed me.

Good, that's what stories are supposed to do!

Oh wow. Wow wow wow wow geez. Go read this

No, that's about what I expected from a Derin short story. Those things stick with you forever!

If I'm going to go to the effort of typing it up it had better fuck people up or I might as well go play computer games instead

That category is most scifi

Just read this. What the fuck Derin

Stori

Derin, what the fuck was that???? Cursed implications

Stori!

Derin, what the fuck.

I keep telling you guys! Stori!

There are way more fucked up implications that didn't fit this story, I'm considering returning to the topic with a new one at some point.

Derin, what the FUCK?

WHAT THE FUCK IM CRYING YOU NEED TO MAKE THIS INTO A MOVIE

I don't know how to make movies. Best I can do is more short stories.

i think the most upsetting thing about american-flavor puritanism is how fucking patronizing it is. it's 2026 but the whole world still has to deal with a cultural hegemony grown from the gnarled vestiges of victorian-era paternalism. tax-paying adults with passports and the right to vote are treated like wayward children because of the antiquated idea that authorities must protect the weak minds of the unwashed masses from depravity and corruption. the average american can send a fellow citizen to the chair, but they can't piss in a ditch without being declared an outlaw. american entertainment media is saturated with sex, but you can't talk about it online without getting your account suspended. it's such blatant censorship at a universal scale, but because sexual content is framed as inherently dangerous, this restriction on basic adult autonomy, this blanket denial of moral and intellectual adulthood, can be reframed as protection, an expression of care, a moral duty. "won't someone think of the children!" I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN! I AM A GROWN MAN!

i’m so glad goncharov happened pre ai slop era

#weird way to describe 1973 but i guess it’s accurate

Performative reading is still better than non-performative non-reading.

guys you gotta stop thinking of women in their 30s as elderly it’s just misogyny

you also gotta stop thinking about actual elderly women as lesser human beings. Youth is not a measure of one’s worth.

The Forbidden Knowledge

not even any notes. I feel like I’ve stumbled upon a plot-advancing skeleton’s notebook

I DIDN'T EVEN HAVE TO UNMUTE,

My sister just quoted this post at me over dinner bc it was discussed in her philosophy class & I can't even smugly inform her of its authorship. Due to the mindhunter yaoi state of my most recent blog history.
