the music WAS better when i was a kid! the shows were more creative! the movies were better written, shot and directed! this is extremely distressing to me!

when i was a kid i cared passionately about staying up on what was cool and new in media but i did not anticipate that in a decade media would collectively have gone to shit

or at least become communists first

blue scholars already wrote the best rap song about fucking over a decade ago, other rappers need to stop trying with this one

it’s the best you can do as far as supporting “easy”, “low effort” pagination but the drawbacks are still pretty significant and doing the harder more cumbersome thing just seems a lot more preferable to me right now

this was a pain and i will probably revert it

i also made my make·file work in dash (probably; we haven’t exercised ALL of its options yet), which is less embarrassing

i fixed the bug in my TSV parser https://git.ladys.computer/Shushe/commitdiff/6a5f3ba09e7cb44178811e4d9cdc63a394b8500e

apparently there’s a bug in my TSV parser

anyway i’d really rather be writing fanfiction and contributing to the culture rather than dealing with this

my first thought in hearing about them calling cops on student protestors was, of course, the UC Davis pepperspray incident during the Occupy protests in 2011 <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UC_Davis_pepper_spray_incident>

but my second thought, upon hearing that those arrested were to be suspended, was for all those people colleges are perfectly happy to keep having around

y’all remember when they were all really worried about “ruining young boys’ lives” by suspending them from college or throwing them in prison

because i remember

anyway,

anyway just thinking about all the little conflations between bourgeois lifestyle and professionalism

Work From Shitty College Apartment

talking at a work meeting and guy mowing the lawn outside my apartment window like “that’s right bitch, i ain’t no landowner, now it’s everybody’s problem”

also begging fanfic writers to read every sentence and go “is that right?? or did the LLM in my brain just conjure that?”

there are cases in english where italics ARE necessary or at least beneficial (case in point) but it is not in describing how CUTE somebody was

if you are an author, please, i beg of you, just take like, a year off from italics, and only add them back in once you’re comfortable writing like that
