Substitute Writer: Autumn Christian

This week’s been rough. I’d like to share one of my all-time favorite essays with you. It’s called “The Routine Boredom of Misery,” and it’s about joy. Normally I would put an excerpt here to entice you, but I can’t pick just one part. Believe me, I’ve tried. Every sentence of this thing carries weight; every paragraphs leans on the ones before and after it for support; every point builds on what’s already been said while simultaneously setting up what comes next. Just read the whole thing, it’s not that long.

Then, if you like it, read some more!

Joy and health to all of you.

I Love This Mug

This is my office mug. It’s got a bunch of banned books on it, which is great, but it also has THIS on the bottom and I can’t believe I didn’t notice it sooner:

Here’s the rest of the mug, if you’re curious:

I Really Need to Rebuild My Buffer

Why, you ask? Because if I don’t, I’ll be in danger of writing more posts like this one.

Nobody wants that.

Why Am I Like This, pt. XV

Me: The Palworld type system needs fixing.1

Nobody:

Me:


  1. I’m sorry, but it’s just so dumb! The “basic five” circle of 💧-🔥-🌿-🪨-⚡ is fine–don’t fix what ain’t broken and all that–but then they have this weird little…dongle off to the side. Fire gets two advantages for no apparent reason, neutral is objectively the worst, the relationship between dragon and dark makes no sense, and all the other coolest types from Pokemon (like ghost and psychic) just get lumped in with dark. Ugh. ↩︎

When My Stats Show Lots of Views but Few Readers

Oops

Looks like some poor programmer escaped one character too many…

Checking the News

I’ve been told this is also a good analogy for menstruation.

Purple!

(It’s my favorite color.)

Why yes, I do plan on using every new nail color as an excuse for an easy post, why do you ask?

Post Delayed Due to Unforeseen Improvements

I was planning on finishing part two of my post on “magic” last week, but then I had an idea for a very simple game I could program that would help get my point across much better.

The game is simple enough that I think I can just use HTML forms to make it–no JavaScript required–so it will be a good opportunity to practice with kelp, too. Most likely, I’ll have another devlog this week about why I’ve chosen to use kelp to redesign my website. I hope you’re looking forward to it!

Joy and health to you all.
