So, it turns out four months is too long to go without a vacation. Who knew?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What? [conversational sounds] Oh. Oh, really? Everyone knew? [conversational sounds] I see. [takes notes, breaks pencil lead from pressing into notebook too hard, tosses notebook across desk.]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I used this weekend to rest. Read, eat, and rest. I am still wearing the very soft clothes I slept in, and I am not ashamed.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m reading more [written things] than I write about here. Also, I’m intentionally not writing about much of what I read, because I write to share \/ endorse \/ celebrate \/ promote things I enjoy, and if I’m not that enthused, I don’t want to waste my energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m not writing about webcomics that spend too much time discussing agriculture<\/strong>. It sounds like a weird bias, but if someone was tortured in a dungeon by their family and uses magic to time travel to avenge themselves, only to spend their days giving expositions about strategic crops,<\/em> I feel like they are avenging themselves on me, somehow. Another webcomic with a hotly drawn villain somehow led to the lovely heroine making dramatic statements about the berry industry, and I nearly threw my phone. (I’m enjoying one now that involves a secret mission to secure a port, but it is just a side thing, not something I have to pay attention to! The world and characters are well established, and the story doesn’t require this – it’s just a footnote. World-building such details by footnote is FINE!)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m not writing about webcomics centered on rivalries between two female-led religious institutions<\/strong>. One of the women is a fraud whose powers are being faked by manipulative men (yes, in more than one comic), and it is getting predictable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m not writing about religious instructional texts<\/strong> I’m dipping into, because those are only interesting if you are in the same sect, and any subjective criticism of such texts is unlikely to be welcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m not writing about the audiobooks I can’t hear properly in the train<\/strong> or the eBooks on my phone that are in progress<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m not writing about current event news<\/strong>, because such news is uniformly awful at the moment, and might encourage you to live under a rock. You might upset a sweet octopus or eel living under that rock, so just leave them and their hidden home alone, deal with humans as much as the rest of us must, and whip a few humans into shape, please.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I do love the magic of scheduling posts in advance, and will try to use this magic more often to spread my infrequent-yet-enthusiastic output more evenly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
