There Will Be Typos

Caitie. 30s. She/her/hers. Interests include classics, socialist theory, queer characters and a variety of fandoms (wot, merlin, tlt, danmei, yoi, one piece, dunmeshi, etc.), witchcraft, horror, science, cults, animanga, social dancing, figure skating, and niche fandom drama. My politcal opinions range from: decentralization of power in social structures should be an essential human ethic and direct action agains't property to protect humans and ecosystems is always justified to yes it is praxis to vote strategically in US elections and it's cool when DSA endorsed candidates win. Juggling hyperfixations. Prone to rants and rambles. If I follow you it’s probably because I thought your url was funny. Queue is untagged and only occasionally empty. Obies, irl friends, and mutuals encouraged to say hey. PSA: —idol inspo— is a tag for a dystopian novel concept I’m working on. Which is why there’s weird and horrible stuff with that tag on it. PSA PART 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i spam wheel of time stuff every wednesday if you don't want to see it blacklist the tags 'wot' and 'wot show'

Hello, I work for a large moderately evil corporation and for at least five years now I have to sign a yearly thing to say I will never ever have one of these devices in the same room as me while I work.

My large moderately evil employer takes it for granted that these things are spying on me at all times, and you should too.

This zine, and I cannot over emphasize how funny this is, is for Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire

These people blocked me on both Twitter and Tumblr, and then someone used a burner account to go off on me on Twitter. This person insisted that I was singlehandedly responsible for the project falling.

I made one comment, and it was this:

No clue how my single comment did this. But okay.

Shen Yuan transmigrates into one of Bingge's wives and after an adjustment period it like, ok this isn't too bad actually.

He's not super thrilled with the new body but it's not that bad really. And as long as he plays it cool and lets Binghe occasionally have his way with him he's 100% safe from all the bad things in PIDW by virtue of being the protagonist's woman! And when Bingge isn't around he can cultivate (cool!) and read his way through the extensive library (so cool!) and anything else his little shut in heart desires!

And ok yeah there's the, sigh, doing the wifely duties bit but he's wife like, 63 so it isn't happening often and besides, his lady body is clearly into Binghe, and he's a straight guy yeah but Binghe is Binghe everyone wants him! So he's willing enough.

So the Event finally happens and SY gets his world absolutely rocked by Bingge... And then when Bingge's about to get up and leave (he Does Not spend the night ever) his wife pulls him close. He thinks that she just wants to go again- which is weird enough, he always completely satisfies his wives- but she just cuddles up to him and plays with his hair and tells him what a good husband and man he is and then starts humming. And Bingge stays, it's...nice and he is tired, his wife is right he works so hard he does deserve to relax...

He wakes up in his wife's arms the next morning utterly bewildered. And then SY helps him bath and does his hair and tries to get him breakfast but he insists he's busy just to get away from her to get his head straight. SY doesn't press of course he just tells Bingge to eat something before he gets into any fights.

Bingge is sure this wife must want something... But a quick background check reminds him this wife is one of the ones he saved from a magic crystal, she has no family, they all died centuries ago... So his wife is not seeking any political gain...

He eventually just goes and asks her, and SY is like oh no I'm peachy! Husband could come with me to the library though if he's not busy? SY is looking for books on monsters!

Bingge is very quickly wife-beamed, which is convenient for him because he's already married to this wife. And SY has no idea it's happened. Well, the other wives are getting cattier the more often Bingge spends the night, but why would he want to be around them when their attitudes are so bad?? (There's been more than one assassination attempt that SY missed completely. Didn't even notice he was in danger.)

But there's a problem. This is not a clean transmigration. The longer SY is in Wife 63's body the more he realizes she's still here too, suppressed by him in her own mind! He isn't sure what to do about it, he can't talk to her directly and what he does get from her as she slowly wakes up and gets stronger is... Hostile to say the least.

SY tries to play it cool, he's fine everything is fine. But Bingge notices the changes, especially as the original wife gets strong enough to start taking partial control of the body back.

Eventually he does a medical check and Oh no! His favorite wife he was considering making his empress is possessed! She's being so so brave and trying to downplay her symptoms but he knows she's suffering.

Bingge arranges for an exorcism and SY goes along willingly. After all he is the bad guy here technically, and the invading spirit. Surely Binghe will be happier with his wife not controlled by a straight man! (I mean yeah the sex is fantastic but he can probably tell it's a little gay somehow!)

Still he's going to miss Binghe- assuming this exorcism doesn't just kill him- so before the ritual starts he makes sure to tell Binghe he loves him (totally platonically) and only wants him to be happy.

It takes Binghe five minutes post exorcism to figure out that he got it backwards. He wasn't saving his beloved wife from a ghost! He's cast out his beloved ghost in favor of some lady who's pissed he didn't realize she was possessed immediately!

He needs to get his perfect ghost wife husband ("the spirit I expelled was actually male " the exorcist says.) back! And find a body to put him in since Wife 63 is refusing to surrender her body again for some reason!

Micro Seed Bombs

For a while, I lived in a city with a lot of industrial wasteland and unloved patches of urban ground. So I made these. They’re gel capsules filled with a mixture of indigenous wildflower seeds and dry compost.

Simply throw a few of them onto any patch of unloved ground. The capsule protects the seeds from environmental damage or hungry animals, and keeps them clustered together. Whenever it rains, the capsule will dissolve and, all going according to plan, the seeds will start to germinate a couple of weeks later.

Those are the same kind of gel caps you might use for vitamins or herbal supplements, and yes you can buy vegan ones.

Me, pointing at a whiteboard full of ancient Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation English-language fandom fanfiction drama: "-so I do entirely empathize with the 'someone is wrong on the internet' reaction to the infamous Jewish Lan Sect fic, but the scale of the backlash was straightforwardly antisemitic and often deeply hypocritical in its framing. Which brings me to my proposition. The vibes of a hardcore Buddhist sect in a culturally-Buddhist milieu are not those of an enclave of a minority with fundamentally different underlying religious and cultural beliefs from those around them, but I believe we can make Jewish Lans work. It simply requires that everyone else be Jewish as well. So in this scenario, extremely Orthodox Lan Qiren keeps catching Wei Wuxian microwaving a plate of cheesy bacon bites at midnight on a Friday, about which WWX is always able to produce a weirdly well-cited argument that this is kosher actually, while gobbling down the Cheesy Bacon Bites, and then as soon as he finishes them he will always claim to have seen the error of his ways even though both of them know he will definitely do it again next week."

The random person I have tied to a chair in my basement: "Mmf mmf mmf!"

Me: "Look, we'll get to my thoughts on the Drake/Kendrick beef when we get there."

Me: “Look, we’ll get to

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

there's no satisfaction in being right about the boat sinking when you are also on the boat, never mind below decks, with no hope of a rescue. I don't like smugly saying I Told You So because despite being ardent and vocal and pushing for strategies to mitigate climate change, my people are still dying. Black and Indigenous people in the United States and Canada are nearly always right when it comes to how we navigate disasters collectively, and they're never listened to except for after the fact (usually when its too late!! Huh! Wonder why that is!)

Folks want a quote from a Black or Indigenous person for their blog, but they don't wanna change their environments or GOD FORBID their consumer habits, even as the oceans rise to your door and the wildfires and logging bring down every old-growth forest.

(the history you cut out and paste into your cutesy little Revolutionary Scrapbook is still happening and still being made, btw. Your actions are part of it.)

anyway. I'm sitting here under a pungent yellow sky and aching for my people and the forests of Ontario. The Namaygoosisagagun First Nation (Collins First Nation, for the colonizers) fled on boats while the trees next to their houses burned. Thunder Bay is full of displaced Indigenous peoples trying to breathe with air full of ash. Gayaashki-zaagiing Anishinaabeg (Gull Bay First Nation, again, for You Folks) peoples were ordered to evacuate in the middle of the night and were just told there are no accommodations for them, now that they've escaped. Thousands of people scrambling for protection and safety, while a bunch of white colonizers complain about the smell of smoke.

None of this is new. It's all a very old song.

But, as my mother would say, the drums will get louder and louder until you listen.

Washington Post is paywalling the article but it looks like Taylor Farms — a consumer bagged salad brand that also supplies produce to grocers and fast food chains like Taco Bell, Walmart, McDonald's, Chipotle, Burger King, KFC, and Meijer —may be at least one of the sources of the current cyclosporiasis outbreak.

Taylor makes bagged greens, salad kits, chopped salads, the works. Keep avoiding supermarket greens, but keep an especially close eye out for this brand/supplier. The above list of grocers and fast food chains is NOT exhaustive, so please continue getting lettuce and other raw produce taken off your burgers, sandwiches, etc.
