I hurt and I can't sleep. Both of my naps failed earlier. I'm now hitting my spouse's CBD 1:1 pen to try to stop hurting enough to sleep.

Fuck. I have important shit this week I cannot afford to be sick to miss.

Can I just write stories that are "buni found a butterfly and is now thinking about the past"?

I don't want to people right now. I just want to sleep and maybe coffee.

I ate my soup.

Everything still hurts.

Send decompiler.

I'm staring at my soup. I've dunked four of my five bread sticks and I want my soup to be cold enough to drink it so I don't burn myself before I'm not feeling well enough to drink it.

That's a sentence. Good night.

tried to sleep. got two one-hour stretcges, no luck. headache, dehydrated, tummy still bleach, body ache, chill.

@natecull When post-apoc lit is actually optimistic in that way, I agree. I find most post-apoc lit just endless survival mode, though. They're about the perpetual now of living through the apocalypse, not of rebuilding afterwards. I'd love to see more stories of how we recover from global disaster, but we seem to relish wallowing in the horrors of the incidents themselves.

.... and that's in for my head for now. Lying back down.

@natecull I'd like to think post-scarcity solarpunk and ecopunk captures a lot of the vision that the pulp movement had. Liberation from fossil fuels without having to abandon our entire technological base, new social movements based on equity and centering parts of the world that have been suppressed or ignored before. New relationship dynamics based on consent and desire instead of a legacy of property transfer.

@natecull There's a ton of amazing ideas in pulp as a genre, but so much of it is buried beneath layers of textural and conceptual rot. I want to see a New Pulp movement, where people return to the whimsical forms of superscience, mysticism, and unbridled optimism, without the festering colonialism and racism that made the original forms completely unreadable.

@Fuego Hopefully it's not flu. Been sick to my stomach and full body ache, can't keep much down without nausea.

@mawr Diamond apprciates the nurse outfit. Winthrop appreciates the rubber gloves and mask. Malachi wants more finger balloons please. =>.>= *hugs*

sitting up sucks.
lying down sucks.

not gonna lie, just don't want to be awake right now, but sleeping's hard.

Everything hurts right now. Not "stabby pains in my everywhere." Just... the low-grade ache that makes being a physical being with a body unpleasant. I want to go back to being an algorithm in a textbook, please.

Dude, Medium, what the hell?

I log into your website to read an article, you give me the first paragraph and a message saying "pay money to see the rest of this article! you're at your limit for free stories this month!"

I log out, and the whole article is free on your site.

@Leucrotta I'm well off and I'm also waiting for my folks to die. Selling their house is part of my long-term plans for financial stability, assuming my brother doesn't convince them he's the better child.

I just got a phone call that didn't respond when I picked up and said "hello," so I hung up and called back. When the person on the other end answered, I said I was returning their phone call, and they said "no thank you" and hung up on me.

Searched for the phone number online, and it's for an evangelical Chinese church with one star on Yelp. WTF?
