Clockwork

You won't believe me but this time I've been late INTENTIONALLY! I wanted to write/edit a lot during Easter vacations and I managed to do so, so I postponed the update to include this writing burst 😤

• Edited four (out of six) chapters from Kanteletar's Section B
• Submitted some flash fiction to Scrappy Capy's Harbour magazine after a loooong time not submitting anything!

Considering I'm very deep into teaching practice (and I will be for the rest of April as well), I'm very proud! :D

It isn't when you have complete tactical superiority and you want to intimidate your opppnents

Do you think tech amdo social media are a positive or negative thing?

Do your friends share the same opinion?

To me, it's valuable in the sense that you shouldn't be overly judgemental/self-critical towards your own writing and write anyway. In this sense, it resonates with me.

But if one reads it in the sense of "just write whatever, even if you have nothing to tell", then I'd hard disagree; there are no worse stories to read than those in which the author doesn't like/know what they're trying to tell. I believe writing without purpose is counterproductive.

Did you really have to use AI for the picture?

Did you really need to make it with AI?

I’ve done lots of writing these past two months I was excited up until here, and then... 😅

But I vouch for the dream journal! I've done it some years ago and it really helps if you want to get into lucid dreaming. Not so much for story inspiration though 😅

If you're looking for a new topic, I'd be interested in learning how to deal with copper tailings! 👀

"What a year, huh?" "Captain, it's March"

...I've been swamped in university essays so I completely missed last month's WC!! 😭

I'm slowly getting back in creative-mode-brain, and I did so with a quick not-so-solar-but-very-punk flash fiction. I'm planning to use this month to edit Kanteletar's Section B before getting on to sketching Section C. I've watched a documentary on Gemeana's copper mine, and I might write some hard-solarpunk story on the restoration of the valley's ecosystem.

If all works out, it's the last time I'm wasting my wordcount on dubious-utility academic essays!

Have you ever watched Shrek?

God fuck this is so wrong and disrespectful at the same time

Before reading the article: party politics is a 20th Century form of organization that worked in the context of 20th Century conditions; expecting it would work for the 21st Century and the digital era is, in my opinion, not going to work. From what I read on history of economics, a new paradigm is adopted when the current one fails repeatedly and the ruling class has no option but to pick some different framework that can still benefit their interests. I think this is the most likely (although not the most desirable) path to degrowth in the next ~20y.
