So. Since I'm one of those Broke Millennials, I figured I may as well get a taste of The Reason I am broke, according to Financial Experts and The News.
Behold, I have purchased and eaten the illustrious Avocado Toast (with roasted tomatoes).
...it was delicious. But as this is the only one I've ever purchased, I think some other factor may be tanking my finances.
(Probably the stagnant wages that are about 10k below industry average, or lack of contract work the last two years.)
At least the experiment improved my hangry. Capitalism is stressful. Eat good food whenever you can.

5 and 28!
5. What’s a tag you never want to use for your works even when it applies?
'self-indulgent' lol they are all enormously self-indulgent
Uh, more in the spirit of things I guess, I have seen the tag "Historical Accuracy" -- I have an incurable habit of writing fic in various historic settings, and making it as accurate as I can is important to me, but, no. Using that tag just seems like performing a ritual invocation to turn up something that invalidates a key point. There's so many ways for things to go wrong! ask me about some of them Besides the fractal challenges involved with getting the factual details right, I am also not necessarily trying very hard to realize a truly accurate period mindset all the time, this is hobby fiction for fun! And sometimes you just plain have to make things up.
28. Any writing advice that works for you and you feel like sharing?
alskdjf
Rule #1: nothing that you just wrote is either as good or as bad you think it is; wait a few days and read it again.
Rule #2: kill your darlings, i.e., yes, sometimes you really do have to cut that beautiful bit or rewrite the whole damn opening scene, but really, truly, the whole thing will end up better, and even if you're a slow writer getting over writer's block, the more you write the more you will be able to write other lovely things.
Rule #3: getting the words out on the page fast really is a good strategy, even if the words seem terrible! This has been a hard one for me to internalize, but it's true. (sigh)
Rule #4: adverbs are beautiful treasures and should be cherished.

For the guessing game: edge (or edges, edged, etc)
apparently I use this word a lot!
He was suddenly, awfully conscious of the weight and shape of Nicolo beside him, of the tension still in his shoulders, the stubbly edge of his jaw.
This began a series of delicately edged exchanges comparing the risks involved in shipping against the risks of overland transport, and the financial burden of each.
"Thief! Thief!" they were shouting, Arabic with rounded edges, and a lot of angry, overlapping words in something close enough to Ligurian that he could almost understand what they were saying, the sense of it lurking partially glimpsed under the surface, and then occasionally sparking out in bright clear flashes, like spotting a fish in a pool.
Yusuf reached the smashed and toppled jars, broken edges and long shadows confusing the floor.
God, he had not missed this feeling, the shaky edge before the pain really kicked in, when all you knew was that something was going badly wrong.
Nicolo muttered something very profane in Ligurian and hauled himself over the edge onto the top of the wall.
