it is true that fantasy is not historical fiction, and that it will always say as much about the time it was created in, the viewpoints of its creators, as much as it says about its own created world. this is true for historical fiction as well, of course. it’s always operating in those two simultaneous registers. but if you create a world - a secondary fantasy world, a historical epoch - i value the attempt to get outside the self, to treat the world you have created or are attempting to render as its own reality not reducible to or merely the mirror for the present, to take the specific beliefs that flow from a specific social structure (and the operative fantasy constructs that are shaping that structure) seriously more than what it can “say” about “our present.” i value fantasy for being able to say things about its own premises, or about the past (through running the past through fantasy elements). the moment when a work of fantasy notably fails in that attempt, falls back on a shorthand of the transcendently universal that doesn’t honestly grapple with its own internal specifics, i find it precious, unrigorous, and deeply grating. there’s a cowardice in it, a self-satisfaction, a lack of curiosity, that i often find very offputting.
i think abt anne rice’s answer to “what are your work habits for a novel?” probably every single day
This is an anti-despair checkpoint! You must share something you're looking forward to before scrolling on.
Having a "stupider people have done this" attitude about the things you want to do can open so many doors

I don't need the chatgpt random algorithm to write emails for me because I already have a custom and 100% flawless algorithm called "writing the exact same three emails with the names changed"
#1: "hi [landlord], hope you're doing well! [apartment thing] is [broken/a problem]. we need it [fixed/replaced/handled] by [date]. let us know when you'll send someone over so we can be here to let them in. thanks so much, [op]"
#2: "hi [professor], hope you're doing well! unfortunately, I'm [sick/stuck at work/dead] and won't be able to submit [assignment] by [due date]. could I please have an extension? if not, is there anything else I could do to make up this credit? thanks so much, [op]"
#3: "hi [customer service person], hope you're doing well! unfortunately, [product] [didn't arrive/is broken/wrong color/gave me a rash/poisoned my crops] and I'd like to receive a [refund/replacement]. here is the documentation of the order and photos of [broken thing/wrong thing/my rash/dead crops]. thanks so much, [op]"
"but op I work in an office I have to write way more emails than you" well that's your fault for working in an office i got nothing to do with that
Writing an email is so easy and I will tell you how it's done. This is the advice is for everyone with an email job, but you can apply it to normal human interaction.
The FIRST SENTENCE is the thing you want the recipient to do. Do not make them guess.
I want to let you know about ... (This email is to inform someone of something not to ask them to do anything)
Could you please do ... (This is a request. You want them to do something).
I'm looking into x and wondering if you can help me (this is also a request but for information instead of an action).
People do not want to read an email and even if they do read it, most people are skimming and not interested. Tell them what you want first, then provide context or other information (when you need a thing is often key). If the email is informational, you can even add "you don't need to do anything, this is just to keep you informed!" People will appreciate not having to figure out what you want from them.
If you can't articulate what you want the recipient to do with the message, you are not ready to email them. I read too many emails where I have no idea what the person wants from me.
Put the most important thing first and everyone will be impressed! AI cannot do this for you because it can't tell what's important! Only you know that, which is why you must write your own emails.
to everyone who wants help with emails: go through the notes of this post. there are ideas I've never thought of and plenty of scripts for all kinds of situations/jobs

Anti-city people are just plain fascinating to me
"Push around a little cart or something? Sounds bad." Is a car not a really big cart? Skill issue.
Schism? Schism today?
Wow, I didn't have "catholic schism" on my 2026 bingo card
Schism today
I... Didn't realize that when there is a schism they actually issue a legal document that says "hey guys, there's a schism." Absolutely incredible
I hate when king arthur has all these fussy little steps in the instructions and you're like "no way do these fussy little steps matter" but you try it and they do. they matter so much.
I thought you meant Camelot quests and I was like "that's fair, 'never pick a four leaf clover on the last Wednesday of the month' IS a fussy little step that shouldn't matter" but then I was like "wait isn't that also a flour company"
nooo I am not a beleaguered knight of the round table I am making elaborate focaccia 😭
The evolution of a city's name: 𐤒𐤓𐤕𐤇𐤃𐤔𐤕→Cartago→Carthage→קרטגינ"א
From Phoenician/Punic, through Latin and English, right back to Hebrew. Go figure. Maybe there was Greek on the way.
In case anyone wondered, the original name actually has a clear and easy to understand meaning in Hebrew. Admittedly, it means "new city". But that's a meaning.
#WHAT#i was today years old#קרתא חדש ???#Hebrew#carthage#linguistics
Actually, it's קרת חדשת. Phoenician is sometimes weird like that. Admittedly, modern Hebrew doesn't use קרת much - we usually go the קרייה direction, for whatever reason. And then you have the Tav at the end of חדשת.
But yeah. Carthage was literally called "New City". It's possible it had some religious connotations, as there was a Phoenician god named מלקרת, which means city king. Don't ask me where the caf went to. And yeah, Canaanite gods don't have creative names usually.
Yeah, tthat makes more sense. I don't know much about Phoenician specifically, so I was going off my very limited knowledge of Talmudic Aramaic. I knew there should be something at the end of חדש, but I didn't know what. Also, I'm not at all surprised to hear that קרתא and קרייה are related.
This but make it domestic Spirk:
Maaan, this Ernest Chiriacka illustration has been in my K/S inspiration folder for over a year now!! Thank you for making this post—this was the push I needed to finally make it happen xD

the things i would imagine running alongside the car when i was a kid
This is gorgeous and I need a pack of them so we could run through the woods together hunting.
The Runalongs are rare in worlds without fast transportation. It seems they are brought into being when someone, bored by a journey, looks out to watch the countryside go by. They daydream of a creature that follows their path (guarding? Or hunting?) and suddenly, without fanfare, it appears.
Runalongs have little in the way of ecology, but they are known to eat other dreams. Sometimes if the one who called them is particularly lonely or afraid they will get closer and even speak in humming voices without opening their mouths. But the second you stop moving, the creatures turn and vanish behind themselves, disappearing to wherever fantasies come from.
A Runalong can also have other forms; a humanoid figure (without distinct features) is common, and these may also ride things that are supposed to be horses. If only we were better at imagining, then they might not look so terrifying.
WAIT
OTHER PEOPLE DID THIS
???????!!!
Mine were large cat-like creatures
I forget what mine were but I imagined this too! I like the name Runalongs.
Please, I’m nearly 30 and I still have Runalongs join me on long, boring car journeys. They must be able to sense people who are in need of their presence, for company, for entertainment, or are just so used to them being there.
when you put your hand palm down out the window and it jumps and sways in the speed, the pressure you feel, not quite solid but not quite air is the ghostly backs of the runalongs arching up for a pat.
