An #earworm popping up in my brain lately. A poem I was made to memorize when I was 14. It re-emerges every couple years, for no reason I can figure. tbh, I usually only remember verbatim the first few lines or so, and have to look it up again. It’s one of those things, like advertising jingles from many years ago, that have lodged in my memory. 🎶You’ll wonder where the yellow went when you brush y…

18. Are there writing ‘traditions’ which ought to be preserved?
19. If you were to teach a writing course, what would be the most important lesson?
20. If you write instalments (issues, chapters, etc) what’s the average length of one instalment?

I didn't watch the State of the Union. I'm not surprised it was 2 hours full of lies. That's what liars do, they lie. Why are Americans still shocked and surprised by this guy? After everything, after 10 long years of this.

I just scrolled through #LinkedIn and read my feed for the first time in 2 months. *shudders*
Enough internet for the day, I need a book and some tea to earn my brain cells back.
(In all seriousness I was shocked by just how homogenous everyone’s writing style is: every post had the same rhythm and the same uncanny, unnatural cadence. That’s not how anyone speaks! Or writes! Every sentence just reads like the author is blowing smoke up their own ass)
(Also - I didn’t see a single new idea that I hadn’t seen a year ago when I used to actually scroll through LinkedIn every day)

Well it looks like our favorite Tyrant from Temu overstepped his authority when it came to imposing unilateral tariffs on a wide number of products under the guise of an emergency that was almost certainly fabricated.
