I have a habit where, in art channels in servers I'm in, I wait a good chunk of hours from the last thing someone posted in there (unless they have a ton of feedback and interactions on their work already) before I post my own art because I don't want to post over someone.
I have no idea if that's a thing other people do tho bc I know I've see people post back to back within the same hour of someone else posting but I just have that habit of waiting.

Being yelled at by a 39-year-old who isn’t even queer about how I ought not to be homophobic and not knowing this happened until the weirdly self-pitying apology post hits my notes page has got to be the most baffling thing to happen to me on this website in 2023.

do you have a favorite short story?
I feel like I cycle through the same three answers every time somebody asks me because, having inhaled them for 30 years, in multiple languages, I can tell you that there are at least a thousand short stories that have surpassed every threshold of excellence and defy quantification. If you actually asked me to choose between Munro and Gallant, I'd probably die like Burdian's Ass. Anyway, I forget which one I said last time, but stream Willa Cather's “Paul's Case”.

2,000 year old Protean vessel lid, depicting three Proteans from different stratums of Selhadro. Considering the open mouths pointing towards the lid's handle, it was most likely used to store food. This artifact was dug up, alongside many others, during a mining operation on Lagopus that broke into the remains of a museum.

overall i really like that space sweepers has next-to-no romance in it; like, even the grieving father never had a partner, he was a single dad. bubs isn't boy-crazy, just super girly, and we know nothing whatsoever about tiger's romantic history (i think he's gay, specifically in a belligerent 'whaddaya got, a problem? a brutally violent cartel hitter can't be gay? get off my ass' way). and i think this opens a lot of room up for other interesting kinds of relationships. but i also love that the only person with what MIGHT be a sexual history is captain jang, with a stereotype of a Lovelorn French Man who she POSSIBLY had a one-night stand with and he's still thinking about it years later while she behaves as if she's never even heard of him to such a doth-protest-too-much degree she is almost certainly also, sometimes, thinking about it. it's a very minor subplot but at the same time i got the distinct impression that jang doesn't really hate him per se, he's just, like, her embarrassing ex-friends-with-benefits who she wishes wasn't actually a pretty nice guy
