there's somebody on the internets (not here, not on my birdsite feed, not anyone you know) who I think doesn't like me. they've been very--passive-aggressively rude to me for a while now. but I figure either they don't dislike me, they're just not good with tone or whatever; or they do dislike me, and to have me *completely ignore* the p-a rudeness will chap their buttcheeks much better than any other reaction I could possibly give them. :D
Patreon
I'll be revamping my goals this weekend, and I'm also interested in hearing from folks what kinds of rewards they'd be interested in seeing if they're not already on the list. What sorts of things would you want to see in a writing/literary Patreon? How much would you be willing to pay for them? I'm not going to make folks pay for the base output, but if there's stuff above and beyond that people would like to see, I'd be glad to hear about it!
Patreon
Hey, folks. This is a quick reminder since we're coming up on the end of the month that I'm running a Patreon to show off my writing -- https://www.patreon.com/literorrery -- which directly goes to help support myself, my wife, and my roommates. You don't have to contribute to get access to the stories. I'm trying to cut the cord with Twitter, so I'd appreciate the help with getting the message out.

medication acquisition mission accomplished! also "stuff pills down the cat's throat and make sure he swallows them" mission accomplished, though I realized *after* getting them in him that I was only supposed to give him *half* of the second pill, not an entire pill. I'm sure he'll be okay, though he'll probably have tummy upset, and both of us will feel bad. :(
Hey awooers and associated mastodon instances!
my good friend has this Kickstarter for a beautiful tarot deck that has a bit over a week to go, for those who are interested and might know someone. 💙
I highly appreciate any boosts in this! It's a really beautiful project and world that I would love to see suceed and brought to life 💙

and yeah, the chapter I skipped is one of the "needs much work" ones, in part because two of the characters that were in it when I wrote it aren't in it by the time I was done. :P *grumbles*

"This form of Apocalypse myth will appeal to people with Right-wing values: they present a rough world where only people with Right-wing values are able to survive. [...] Zombie apocalypse stories are a refinement of this genre [...]
"Why does it matter that a genre has such a clean mapping to an ideology? The stories we tell and consume have a feedback loop with our expectations."

unfortunately I am now thoroughly awake several hours earlier than usual. plus I was having a *really* disturbing, *really* bad dream just before being woken up, so I kind of don't want to go back to sleep... just in case it's in there, waiting for me. :P I'll probably nap later in the day instead. or go to sleep really early tonight.
just heard him talking on his cell phone under the window 9____9 saying that he heard "another dog" in the woods and "it sounded like it was hurt." dude. DUDE. even if you did hear a hurt dog, letting your own healthy dogs in there to CHASE IT DOWN would have hurt it EVEN MORE. and you obviously can't control them. ASSHOLE.
I'm sure the coyote is long gone, and his dogs are big enough that they weren't in danger from it--but what the actual fuck, dude? walking your dogs without even *bringing* a damn leash?? that's a good way to LOSE YOUR DOGS. asshole.
woke up to a coyote yip-yowling.
stayed awake watching a dumbass who had evidently taken his two dogs out walking *without a damn leash* follow them into the greenspace. all three of them have been running around--well, the dogs have been running more than him; he emerged, still whistling for his dogs, and retied his ponytail. /facepalm
