thinking again about the time Mari misremembered the title and called it "Everything Too Much All The Time"

Also I cited the Reductress "Heartbreaking: Worst Person You Know Just Made a Great Point" headline and I really hope they let me keep it

Including footnotes I cleared 15,000 words on my silly little thesis tonight!! Excluding them I am about 800 words away. I might be overdoing it with the footnotes.

@fka_tabs to be clear, I was making a joke about writers putting (on leave) in their twitter names unable to resist posting through it

https://buttondown.email/perfectsentences/archive/perfect-sentences-11/ this week in sentences: a no-brainer, decorously abstract, spoken by sunlight, gravity and authority, the massive continuity of ducks

also: 12,416 words of this silly little thesis written, hope they like extensive detours into the shady correspondence of a commodity broker

does it stress out anyone else how close the word "tuple" is to "tulpa"

update: this keeps being a delight

@fka_tabs "(on leave)"

at the stage of writing the thesis where I just lay out all my archival receipts like a little facts gremlin jumping around screeching "look at my treasures"

listening to the audiobook of Wizard of Earthsea and it's narrated by Harlan Ellison?? And he's great??

@nick I am so happy for you!!

@robinsonmeyer very excited for this and for you friend!!

some other fun context for this story from someone in Dan Goldman's district: he was absolutely the most boring of all the candidates and won partly because of progressives splitting the vote and partly by expanding his name recognition by using his heir-to-the-Levi Strauss-fortune money to buy visibility. Dunking on Santos looks good on a national stage, and that's arguably more important to him than constituent services etc.

uh oh thinking about dropping out lol

@kit they clapped their hands and said no thank you

more like south by south why are we still doing this, am I right

what does that even mean you might say, EXACTLY
