this lil guy just went for a ride around town and all the way back home while barely moving from this spot on my windshield. considering part of the trip was at interstate speeds i am impressed at the apparent suction power of ladybug feet

why did i wait until it was just cool enough the ac won't click on, but it's also like 100% humidity so the air feels almost liquid to mop the floors and scrub toilets. it was a very bad choice and now i can't stop sweating because i feel like i'm underwater. at least i have a clean toilet?

writing done for the day (progress was made!), because mr mittens woke up and decided it was time to watch the pee wee documentary, and now i am just One Enormous Feeling about it

it's apparently been far too long since i've written a proper fight scene. but at least i got through half a fight scene today. it's nice to know i get to jump right back into the middle of fisticuffs first thing in the morning. somehow, this is weirdly comforting

daily writing done, still crawling along so i won't accidentally dig myself a giant plot hole to fall in right before the finish line... :'D

trying to write on the back porch, and my neighbor is pressure washing his house, so of course i'm mindlessly staring at his extremely satisfying progress instead of actually writing. apparently this is TOO much distraction lololol

words done for the day, progress made, but we're back to unfolding plot logistics, so the going is a little slower as multiple plot threads collide and i'm forced to document the accident scene :'D

i don’t remember where i saw this ages ago but it brings me so much joy for absolutely no reason

writing day done, weirdly disappointed that i didn't quite hit yesterday's total, despite having peace and quiet and a lovely morning on the porch instead of in a busy waiting room. thinking maybe i need more distractions than squirrels and birds to make the words go... will test the theory tomorrow

i know i can't make them feel ashamed, but golly i think all of us working together can at least shun them all from polite society, too cowed by the joy, humanity, and care the rest of us actually have for our fellow humans to express their disturbing beliefs in public. republicans should be shamed

amazingly enough, despite having spent the morning in the car service waiting room, i still managed to hack out about 1300 words? kudos to the car service place for apparently having a waiting room entirely conducive to writing, i guess?

thought maybe i'd drive north a ways and attempt to see the aurora but it's cloudy... and i'm too tired this late on a sunday night to drive for nothing lol maybe it's less cloudy north but even then, the chances are slim. ugh, i always miss the cool sky stuff :'D

i am so tired of signing petitions and protesting and the constant urgency to attempt to avert imminent disasters. this is an awful way to live, and i so miss having competent people in charge who were far from perfect but at least not intent on destroying democracy on a daily basis

daily writing done. not as much as i'd hoped, but at least the plot logistics are all lined up now and ready to go. just remembered i'm having my car serviced tomorrow morning, so i get to have writing time in the subaru waiting room. thank fuck it's not a smutty scene, i guess? lololol

daily writing achieved. Big Final Showdown Situation up next, and of course that means my brain shorted out over logistics and order of events. it's all set up! everything just needs to happen! unfortunately my brain needs to MAKE it happen in a sensible manner! tomorrow me will sort it i guess

1.5k today, and another unexpected scene is accidentally happening. which... fine i guess, but heck i'm officially at the point i want to stop being surprised by things that pop up organically and are frustratingly plot-necessary, when i just want to start sprinting toward the finish line :'D

another thousand words today, still got caught in plot weeds despite my best attempt to weedwhack this place. will attempt trimming tomorrow lol

about 1k words today. maybe a little more. it's all good. stopping now is actually keeping me from running off plot into the weeds again. :'D

When people say “I don’t like the Discover page” it’s like ok your first mistake is using the Discover page because that’s just not a thing anyone should need after being on Bluesky for a month. It’s like going to Times Square and eating at Planet Hollywood, it’s for tourists and will never be good.

Because sometimes, what you really need to see in this life is Vincent Price with an armload of extremely floofy cats. Well, I do. Love that man.

For what it's worth petition.parliament.uk/petitions/72... Truly not ideal wording on there by the petition starter, but subsequent petitions on the same subject will now be rejected because of course they will. Please sign it anyway. #transrights #trans #lgbtqia #lgbt

about 1600 new words today, so improvement over yesterday, even if i reached another tone shift in the plot as the action starts ratcheting up. but that will be for tomorrow mittens to deal with :'D

Here's how to understand ALT TEXT You're talking with three friends about a favorite thing and make a joke about the favorite thing. One friend has ZERO reference point. Do you just leave them out, or quickly explain the jist. That's doing alt text fuckers. It's just inclusion.

only about 1k new words today, but after a week away I'm deliberately choosing to stop here and not burn myself out on my first day back. like slowly ramping back up to where i had been for the last couple months before my trip. hopefully more and better tomorrow! at least i haven't lost it :'D
