hi again. whatre we doin nowadays

[tsarina-anadyomene]

Mommy needs to be honest kitten. You're not a kitten, you're a puppy, I know. Actually, that's exactly what I wanted to talk to you about. You've let this whole puppygirl thing completely take over our sex life and to be honest it's not really clear to me that you really enjoy it anymore. You really seem stuck in a short-term hedonic spiral from posting about it on tumblr and getting likes. And I know it's hard to get out of that kind of thing but it's really been getting out of control. You said "we're trying for puppies" to my best friend of 15 years. Seriously? How the fuck am I supposed to live that down? No one was laughing. The room was dead silent and I wanted to sink into the floor. And this was days after I was crying my eyes out over the infertility stuff. So you came across as kind of an asshole on top of it. Yeah, I know you didn't mean it like that but you can only point to "bourgeois morality" so many times before it starts to feel like you're just saying "I'm sorry you got offended" you know? Like every time I try to express that some basic social decorum is necessary to preserve relationships I care about you start misquoting Bakunin. And like look you have a lot of positive qualities but I don't think this is working anymore. We both know it hasn't been good for a long time.

you can't create an economic theory around labor, and then say "but of course this doesn't apply to disabled people." or, even worse, "this doesn't apply to severely disabled and "terminal" people, but the lazy fakers "social-model-only" (wtf does this mean) disabled people still have to work."

you don't have to say that labor is morally gratifying, that adversity builds character, for labor to mean something. isn't it enough that labor fills our bellies, shelters us, clothes us, cares for us when we're sick or young or elderly, cleans our spaces, transports necessities, heals us, sustains us in countless other ways? why does it have to be a moral good too, to suffer labor?

and with regards to disability, yes, some disabled people can work. but also--people often choose to labor if they can. now that i need (and have) caregivers, i still "force myself" to do the things i can do when i can do them, because it's much more practical to do the work myself. people who are given the choice of "feed my own cat/have someone feed my cat" will often choose the "feed my own cat" simply because it's more convenient and has benefits like "cat associates me with food"., why is the same not understood of "working" i.e. extra-domestic labor?

if you expend labor to try to distinguish between the Real Disabled Person who can't work and the Lazy Faker who should be working, that's people whose time can be spent instead making it more feasible for people to work in ways that they can. i'd rather someone talk to an agency about making sure that they reserve their remote positions for workers who cannot consistently leave their homes, or hire widely enough that they can have people working very small part time jobs, than be analyzed against a calvinist-derived model of the laborer, and declared "real disabled unable to work."

also read up on the money model of disability before posting anything about "real disabled people who can't work" or "what about terminally ill people"

A dirty secret: you can only be a writer if you can afford it

There is nothing more sustaining to long-term creative work than time and space – and these things cost money

This. So much this.

I’ve been saying this on Ouora for three years. If you want to be a writer it’s hard and you have to money coming in from someplace else.

This. 

When I was going to writers conventions and particularly romance writers conventions, I was surprised to discover how many writers were middle-aged women with husbands who were doctors or lawyers. They were able to write because they had the time and space to do so.

I know writers who write full time. It’s often not the career we imagined when we were studying writing. Because it really isn’t writing full time. It’s running a full-time small business promoting, marketing, editing and handling financial arrangements for an author while trying to be a writer. It’s just that your both of those people. 

Which doesn’t mean don’t writer. It just means that having a day job doesn’t make you a failure as a writer. Especially when you are a self-supporting writer.

everyone's always like ohhh the bottoms sexual fantasies are always so fucking compilated and convoluted they always wanna be like some kind of European wild hamster digging through the undergrowth and you have to be the relentless bird of prey that is hovering over their den and ready to strike with deadly talons, and maybe the bed is a sand dune thats allows for the predator to take maximum advantage of the terrain. What about the top's fantasies huh when does the top have something to say about all this. Sometimes I wanna be President Nixon in the last days of the administration and someone else is Erlichmann showing ass to comfort me. sometimes the top wants to get weirdly specific with it too okay
