I actually got halfway through one of the hour-long things but I think I only managed it because Firefox crashed and I didn't reopen it until I started wondering if I'd got any email in the past half hour. I am now faffing about the Internet again instead of going back to the film.

I cannot afford to waste time. I don't have any to spare, especially starting Monday when CopyrightX starts.

When you see this, share lines from 3 random WIPs.

nb: not random! most recently worked-on that have not yet hit the internets where more than one or two people can see them.

1) "If I only had a damned hairpin," said Lupe, glaring at the digital combination lock on the bow-ward door.

2)

Transition
transformation
metamorphosis:

I was a caterpillar
and now I am free.

3)

I want to learn
what holds us back
and how to use
its weight against it
to defeat it
without violence.

You say
nothing holds us back

fuck misgendering

Thing I am doing after graduation: Saving four hundred dollars a year so that I can throw a hundred dollars a term at whichever genderqueer/nonbinary/intersex US-college-student scholarship applicant random.org tells me to award the scholarship to.

That won't be real

Not hardly! Hey:
Love do not cooperate
with cop-out
provocations: No!

Storm come. Storm go
away

True love stay
steady
True love stay
hot!

...you know you have procrastinated much too much when a professor emails you to ask what's wrong.

well fuck

So I'm boycotting Wikipedia. (trigger warning: cyberviolence against women)

And I just realized that this means I also have to boycott Wikimedia Commons.

Guess where I invariably go when I'm looking for copyright-restriction-free (or CC-licensed-with-workable-restrictions) images.

Also, Wiktionary. Losing Wiktionary pisses me the hell off.
