you may be asking yourself, “but kibi, what is a manifesto if not a deployment of rhetorical strategies to make a thing seem emotionally or logically necessary” and look i’m WORKING on it

@alyssa yes, my claim against newsletters in general (as opposed to the specific newsletters which are currently annoying me) is just that they should be blog posts lol

but i realize that having the post as a newsletter is probably better than not having the post at all; not all newsletters are specifically bad in the ways that some are specifically bothering me right now

very little patience these days for people who craft rhetorical arguments to make their claims seem like an emotional or logical necessity instead of grounding them in lived experience and relation to the real or the human

i personally find it exhausting and i don’t understand why someone would willingly insert their email into a box to have this stuff sent directly to their address

but especially especially why would you waste your time reading a newsletter which purports to convey something valuable or essential and yet does so in the language of punditry instead of in the language of art

i’m not specifying which people and which newsletters because the answer is honestly “all of them”

why do you people read these newsletters

meow

i should finish that one fire emblem fic i was working on

trans fanfiction is annoying and unrelatable

does this author not know that most women shave or

can boys not be lecherous creeps to their girlfriends

is Zelda/Sheik incest

it’s also very depressing looking through my recent bandcamp purchases and seeing how many are all rights reserved

i can’t do anything with this you fools

god i wish bandcamp had a good creative‐commons search

i saw you
in the cold
wind

when you,
you
buried all,
buried all your
treasured years

your
treasured years

that’s fine

today i think i was typing “opportunities” but i started by writing “opportune” and then my fingers were just like “oh i can finish that, ‘opportune ease’” and no that is not even remotely correct thanks

as i have gotten older i have found that i mess up homophones way more
