this week on taskmaster australia
it is unfortunate that there's no reason for most people to remember high school chemistry because the best analogy I have found for "the amount of energy that it takes me to initiate a task, which can be higher than the amount of energy it takes to actually complete the task" is "activation energy" and it's not precisely perfect but
yeah. and you can even include "thing that reduces the barrier to doing the task" as a catalyst/enzyme
anyway. unfortunately this does not actually clarify anything for the average person. but #ToMe it works
Reasons to Watch Morse:
Feral kitten Morse being quietly adopted by Thursday (and his whole family).
Pulling off Police detectives quoting poetry to each other.
The cinematography and the beautiful city of Oxford.
There's a good amount of hurt/comfort, especially early on.
Enjoying the emotion and care conveyed in the looks and words left unsaid but also wanting to shout at them to use their bloody words and have an actual conversation.
Morse being a little shit (but usually to people who deserve it).
Morse's compassion and empathy, especially once you know his backstory.
The angst of the writer Russell Lewis' "we wanted to start out with a fairly optimistic, hopeful young man, and take him apart bit by bit."
The tragic inevitability of knowing that our DC Morse becomes the character of Inspector Morse.
There are a million easter eggs in each episode.
There's a tiger. No, really.
I posted a new fic on AO3 yesterday and, so far, every single comment on it has been spam.
the frequency of my posting on tumblr is inversely proportional to my mental health

You simply cannot have too much David Tennant
Why does the last line of a fic always evade me?
I should sleep. I want to write. Instead I’m curled up in bed around a microwaveable teddy bear because my uterus has decided to throw a tantrum after I didn’t let it fertilise and then implant the egg it released.
writer culture is getting a comment/kudos from a writer that you think writes better than you and being VERY happy

.
How it feels to read a really good fic and find the author has dozens more like it
two things that can and should coexist: writing fanfiction for yourself as a form of self-care slash comfort and appreciating kind comments given by your readers, as well as using these encouraging comments as a source of motivation to write more fics
thing every whump writer can relate to
My first Christmas tree
Being a writer is wild because one minute you’re convinced you’re a genius and the next you’re googling ‘synonyms for walk’ like you’ve never used language before.
