holy crap. my dreamwidth inbox is well over 100. what is this, a tumblr ask blog? 🤣

I've just taken a week off work but I didn't get as much juice out of it as I'd hoped to. Ah well. At least I had a week away. I'll have to figure out the recharging part some other time.

how are you all doing? I've been thinking more thinky thoughts about social media, so expect a ramble about tiktok and filters at some point. And possibly some form of dystopic novella to go with it.

Welcome back! It's a shame you didn't get to rest as much as you needed :c I'd say it's just the sad reality of the pandemic; even when we're resting, the world is still on fire around us 🤔 it's hard to relax fully.

I've been really tired, but trying to get by with a lot of fic--reading and writing!

Also, I'm looking forward to your dystopic novella 😂

Hey!! I've been doing pretty well, considering that I am only a few feet away from hitting writer's block head on lol... but I've been drawing more recently so I don't feel completely unproductive.

I have done a lot of math the past few hours, and there are several reasons why my Discord status now reads "I'm making this fantasy hard sci-fi bc getting same impulse by less force over longer has Distinct Characterization Implications"

for a lot of the same reasons, a few hours ago I reblogged the thing about the Cretaceous coastline in Alabama and the 2020 election results, adding

people keep looking at me funny when I say my created-world fantasy worldbuilding has to start with geological history, but like, you see how contemporary real-world worldbuilding starts with geological history?

how are you all doing? I've been thinking more thinky thoughts about social media, so expect a ramble about tiktok and filters at some point. And possibly some form of dystopic novella to go with it.

exactly what we're all here for

hi i'm fine, mostly lazy tho? but yay for at least some rest/recharge, i guess?

Hi! A lot of my creative energy right now is directed toward sewing 18" doll clothes (and it's fannish sewing, too!), but I'm idly and mostly subconsciously letting myself process just how toxic fandom and people who just can't help but interact with things they hate has made me afraid to take risks.

Currently, trying to get my apartment clean. Not exactly thrilling, but necessary.

I'm always up for a dystopian novella!

Oof, sorry to hear the time off didn't quite do it. It's a bummer when that happens! Hopefully you'll find some way to recharge soon.

Doing okay myself atm, thank you <3

I am very interested in those thinky thoughts. I'm still mostly only familiar with TikTok through vids on tumblr (and the occasional "scary side of TikTok" explanation videos on youtube).

Welcome back! (and sorry for adding even more to your inbox XD)
It's always funny how spending a week away from work does or doesn't feel like time's passed. Unplugging is really difficult.

...my dreamwidth inbox is over 5000. (I never clear out anything.)

My recent thinky thoughts on social media are about Tumblr's ~~impending disaster~~ new beta feature "subscription paywall." Mostly they are several flavors of screaming, interspersed with the Colbert popcorn gif.

Aw hell yeah! Looking forward to it!

I’ve been thinking a lot about Fanlore because I’ve been getting super into it recently (recently being most of 2021) and how while I think it’s something worth doing it’s kind of overwhelming to do and I should try to take a break from thinking about it so much.

And maybe when I “come back” something will have changed with all these internal rules I put on myself. (I like the idea of Fanlore but Permanent Changes freak me out a little?)

I hate when time off winds up feeling less than refreshing. :/

Social media has been giving me LOTS of thoughts lately, maybe especially after the tumblr paid post stuff. I don't know that my thoughts are well-organized or anything, but they're there and full of despair, lol.
