was flipping through a memoir on cptsd and there was the author's parent doing the same extremely specific thing as happened to me and ah. Oops All Triggers. At Work.
I am swearing up down and sideways that I planted no form of any squash at all this year or the last and somehow there are 7 to 10 probably-pumpkin plants in our backyard right now
Perhaps they were brought by a Creature…

Whenever I want to feel frustrated but undeniably superior I go read comments on Midst from Critrole fans who don’t understand that sometimes, Narratives and Storytelling
“why are they always switching voices why do they disagree” They did it to vex and confuse you. No you don’t sometimes have to wait for a narrative to deliver context that might completely change everything youve heard thus far. They did it that way bc you’re a big dummy.

i have been eating very slightly differently for purposes of making some things in my blood go DOWN and other things go UP (at the behest of a dietitian, who on reviewing my regular sorts of meals was like “yeah this is good. how are you at remembering to eat” BAD, ma’am, the answer is Bad). the thing about spreading your food intake over several hours instead of as three big meals is you are always very slightly hangry. and the thing about lots of protein and fiber is you CANNOT stop farting. so! here i am puttering a long like a little cartoon jalopy
i mean, its pretty nice to stop halfway through moving the enormous compost heap to eat some GOD, DAMN, CARROT STICKS and have that do for a little while instead of hitting 6pm like hey what did i do today... eat single spon of peanuts butter?... well time to fit all the meals i shouldve eaten into one...!!! but OOOAOARRRGHGJJG... FOOD

A woman G described as being “sixty to seventy” (I suspect younger) showed up at the store after I left for the day because she needed clarification on something in Uncommon Charm i.e. What Was Going On. I gather she was in conflict with her friend who had concocted the idea that everyone was secretly ghosts all along whereas SHE was of the opinion that V was abusive. I do not see these ideas as being necessarily in conflict but only one of them is literally in the text of the book so ma'am please ask your friend What Thee Fuck.
A second, unrelated person came to the store to talk about UC, this time from (NOTABLE PUBLISHING/BOOKSELLING INSTITUTION). This person does not read fantasy by their own admission and they came for the purpose of saying they did not expect to like it (having bought it out of courtesy after my manager talked it up). Instead they loved it. They wanted to give it to agents. They'd already bought copies to share.
It sounds like an insult almost but I think that's quite usual in writing communities. You won't care for everyone's work. It's fine, it's good, they're just not the person you go to for feedback, you know your goals aren't their goals. Maybe you read their book and maybe you don't. So it's uhhhhh very cool
Papaya escaped from its cage while we were at work yesterday and all it did, apparently, was throw food on the counter and sunbathe on the windowsill

Weepefinch real. It’s bad and it’s real and I love it
#midst spoilers#……. kind of? again?????#It just occurred to me that I can make “my uncle who works at Nintendo”-style statements about Midst and have them be completely true#Well MY friend who works at Narrators said if you look under the truck you find Phineas and it’s because he’s dead. I put him there#that one wasnt.
see... i told you i'm in this one... i'm the e ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️💕💕💕💖
i know everyone goes bananas for coda but this remains one of my favorites; verily he has dug a grave for Diabolical Bastardry and imelda's got a dump truck full of fill dirt. god i love her
i should start making up elaborate lies abt midst and the midst narrators with the occasional verifiable truth on a time delay so i can seem like a crazed prophet
I’m trying to check here more but I’m on twt for a specific reason which is a number of parrots owned by people in Japan and you won’t extract me until they go too. I need to see Miiru and the Tomimomens every day or I am going to die. Related to dying: VERY bad hip day, bad cough from many cumulative days of smoke exposure despite efforts to avoid it, my knee keeps hyperextending for some reason?? idk. Anyway we were nominated for the …… UTOPIA AWARDS???!! https://solarpunkmagazine.com/utopia-awards-climate-fiction-conference-announced/ HUH!!!!!! tbh I wouldve self-rejected given the opportunity to submit UC for consideration BUT … it is v much a book about doing ethics in pursuit of a just world. So, yes, And wow cool
Anyway keep an eye out for my cameo as an initial on a package in this week’s free episode of Midst. No I am serious. I’m the E
Kat is in there too........ she’s the K
