Zen Crib Notes

A bunch of notes and cheats that will remind me and others what I love, what I hope for, and things I want to remember but I store them in bookmarks never to be seen again. Chinese-American, 30+, and Californian. Trying to get back to Europe.

Fictober Picture Prompts 2025!

Alternative prompt system for Fictober: using art as inspiration for creative writing pieces.

Below is linked to a google slides (and a pdf version) that holds 31 days worth of pieces of art, all created by artists throughout the last 600 years (from the 1400s to 2025). Each day has two different pieces of art (A + B), just in case one doesn't spark inspiration! You are welcome to use either piece or even both images for each day of writing inspiration!

Use these prompts as inspiration for your fictober writings whether they be fanfic or other creative writing pieces! (sfw or nsfw, but if the latter please tag appropriately)

Please do not use AI for your writing pieces, in the spirit of the human creativity of fictober no AI is allowed. None of the art pieces within the prompts are AI created.

(Read the Rules slide in the document for more information)

If you use these prompts please tag it with #Fictober25PicturePrompt !

They say that the pointy end goes into the other man, but what is actually the most dangerous bit of a sword?

False Equivalence

[zencribnotes]

Every five years we somehow have the same “female gaze vs male gaze” false dichotomy debate.

There are four jokes in the span of 30 seconds and they all land. Prime Simpsons was something else.

(in case anyone needs context, since i know there's a bunch of younguns who didn't even know the "It's gonna be May" meme... The song playing is NSync's song "It's Gonna Be Me", the guy in the mint green t-shirt is NSync member Lance Bass, and the guy in the pink hoodie is his husband Michael.)

I need to you all to know that the original caption for this is : “POV your friend mispronounces a word once and now it’s a national holiday.”

Bsky post by libro.fm: Tomorrow, a certain online mega-retailer launches a book sale, just days before Indie Bookstore Day on 4/26. This is no coincidence; Bookstore Day is one of the largest revenue drivers for indies.

Indies need our support to thrive & build community spaces for all...mega-retailers do not.

Fuck Amazon. Go to bookshop.org or better yet, take a little time on Saturday to visit your local indie bookstore.

Bookshop: Buy books online. Support local bookstores.

An online bookstore that financially supports local independent bookstores and gives back to the book community.

[salvia-plathitudes]

I was curious how it worked. In the about page there’s a link that leads you to a store locator where you can select your local stores.

And, in the UK, I'd recommend hive.co.uk
