one of the many reasons to insist upon chronological timelines is that it's much, much harder to scroll forever if you can catch up with yourself. if you can run out of tumblr because you reach yesterday, that is a good and helpful prompt to do something else.

Skill issue. My morning catch-up on Tumblr takes twelve minutes.

tumblr loves a "not to me not if it's you" ass sound bite but of course a truly good line of writing is one that hits like a truck because it has the full force of the work at large behind it. and that's why i can make myself cry by thinking too hard about how the last line in the other wind (ursula le guin's final earthsea book) is, "'Not yet,' he said."

People of america, when I took office with the mandate to kidnap every gamer neet from their home and force them to dig water retention berms in the desert many said we were crazy. "They'll all die of heatstroke," "their weak bones will snap after an honest days work," "their pallid skin will melt in the sun." Well I stand here today to admit you were all right, my bad.

We should make rocky more fucked up about separating from grace before the second taumoeba leak. like we only get their goodbye from grace's pov who is facing the long trip back to earth and devastated about losing his only friend. rocky is facing another three years (nine in the movie!) of being alone in his long-term trauma-home and having no one to watch him sleep. he had a brief few months where he allowed himself to feel comfortable and safe for the first time in forever and now he's regretting it. he knows the mission was a success but that doesn't stop the horror of it's happening again. he's alone again. he cannot do this again.

Found myself wanting to say that "consuming text is easy and passive, unlike video which requires active effort to watch" and then realized this is the opposite of what basically every other human being would say.

Yeah, it's time to get this post out again
