I've asked this question before and been surprised by the results, now I have access to more weirdos it's your problem:

It is the middle of a Sunday afternoon. You have nothing on, and aren't expecting visitors, deliveries or post.

Unexpectedly, there is a knock at the door.

“People are inherently terrible” no!!! Have you ever seen a child wait for their friend while they tie their shoelaces? Have you ever known someone who would bring hurt squirrels and rabbits and mice to the nearest vet just so it doesn’t suffer? Have you seen someone grieve? Have you ever read something that hit your heart like a freight train? Have you looked at the stars and felt an unexplainable joy? Have you ever baked bread? Have you shared a meal with a friend? Have you not seen it? All the love? All the good? I know it’s hard to see sometimes, I know there’s pain everywhere. But look, there’s a child helping another up after a hard fall. Look, there’s someone giving their umbrella to a stranger. Look, there’s someone admiring the spring flowers. Look, there’s good, there’s good, there’s good. Look!!!!

Ea-Naṣir Reassures Two Men (UET V 72)

In this unpublished tablet, held by the British Museum, we find the copper merchant Ea-Naṣir and his associate Ilushu-illassu writing to a couple of men to reassure them.  Although the situation is missing some context, there are some real gems in the context of the famous letter to Ea-Naṣir.

One of the men intimidating the recipients is named Mr. Shorty (kurûm).

Ea-Naṣir complains that people don’t believe him.

Ea-Naṣir mentions giving “the ingots that we talked about” to someone.

The repeated encouragements — “don’t be scared!” “don’t be critical!” “don’t worry!” — sound a lot like Ea-Naṣir is trying to reassure someone that a situation hasn’t gone sideways (but it has).

…

Say to Shumun-libshi and the Zabardabbû: [1]

Ea-Naṣir and Ilushu-illassu say:

As for the situation with Mr. “Shorty” and Erissum-matim, who came here, don’t be scared.

I made them enter the temple of the Sun-God and take an oath.  They said, “We didn’t come about these matters; we came for our businesses.”

I said, “I will write to them” — but they didn’t believe me!

He said, “I had a quarrel with Mr. Shumun-libshi.”  He said, “[…] to his partner.  I took, and you did not […]  You didn’t give to me.”

Within 3 days, I’ll come to the city of Larsa.

Also, I spoke with Erissum-matim and said, “What is your sign?” [2]

I said to the kettle-maker (?), “Go with Ilum-gamil the Zabardabbû, and take the shortfall for me, and put it in the city of Enimma.”

Also, don’t neglect your […].

Also, I have given the ingots that we talked about to the men.

P.S. Don’t be critical!  Get the […] from them!  Don’t worry!  We’ll come to you.  [3]

So, somehow I completely forgot to “announce” that I’d managed to get accepted into Denver, Colorado’s Lighthouse Writers Workshop’s Book Project—which is:

“an intensive, two-year program aimed at giving writers of book-length manuscripts the classes, advice, and moral support they need to draft, revise, and—most importantly—finish."

more info: https://www.lighthousewriters.org/adult/book-project

I’m absurdly excited and honored, and I don't want to talk TOO much about the specifics of the project I’m working on because it's still in infancy, but here's one of my rolling work bookshelves to give you a better idea.

got infected with the kobylu brainrot a couple days ago

when the funny little guy that wants to be a marine admiral has a crush on the guy who wants to be the pirate king

We need to bring back children’s programming that focuses on reading. I’m so serious

Yeah you're right. It WOULD be pretty fucked up if you were a swan but you were raised by ducks and you grew up never seeing another swan or even knowing that such a thing as a swan even existed so you just thought you were a duck with something super wrong with it.

I had a fun little part in this fantastic project from some stellar folks!

🚨🚨🚨 THE SECRET PROJECT REVEALED🚨🚨🚨

Announcing SICKO SHOCK 2, our six-episode audio drama miniseries, releasing next week, from Monday July 24 thru Saturday July 29. In the far-future cyberpunk dystopia of Sicko City, SICKO SHOCK 2 presents a world where Posting is law and logging on is mandatory. But even in the most authoritarian regime, people fall through the cracks…and in Sicko City, five forgotten souls are about to change the world forever. We'll also be premiering each episode a day early on our Twitch channel twitch.tv/animesickos.

Get excited folks. This is our best work yet.

re: #CodexTubus Episode 3: due to mental health, other work, and a rabbithole behind one of the books—as you've maybe noticed—the episode is delayed. It will be out as soon as I am able next week.

We'll just pretend that it's a Bastille Day episode instead of a 4th of July one.

Hannibal 2.13 Mizumono  

Hugh Dancy: In this scene […] Mads took it upon himself to heighten the tension by throwing the books as close to me as he could.

Bryan Fuller: (Laughs) Did any actually hit you?

Hugh Dancy: Uh, no, but there was a lot of - there was a lot of flinching.
