everyone should go send an email to their favorite author especially if it is an underground/self-published writer. if you like something someone made, you should tell them because sometimes they will email you back and make you revert to a fangirl from 2015. i squeed today. i havent squeed since i was in middle school. magic is real

#it was donna barr in case you are curious #ive been obsessed with bosom enemies ever since i picked it up in hpb like am onth or so ago #and i finishedt he series today wrote her an email yesterday #and she responded LITERALLY JUST NOWWWWWW #god. im so happy. its so lovely im so pleased

I have a lot of fondness for clunky Hallmark Christmas romance movies with rock bottom production values, vaguely established and extremely contrived plots, dodgy dialgoue, often questionable line readings, and child actors playing a kid who seems either three years younger or older than themselves. Hallmark have not undermined themselves with glib, self aware irony or attempted to "elevate" the delightful low artform that they excel in. Refreshing, honestly.

#netflix could never #they are incapable of that level of earnest storytelling #for this specific kind of story at least #because they think they're better than it #hallmark knows that none of us are too good for a movie about an autistic marine biologist #who thinks her best friend's brother ghosted her after they hit it off at the friend/sister's wedding #and *tells him* that repeatedly to his face instead of not addressing it #and he's like 'I definitely replied ot your email! you ghosted me! but let's let bygones be bygones. It's The Holidays' for the whole movie #and the resolution is that it got saved in his drafts #amazing #what other studios are delivering this level of banal miscommunication #what other movies have b-plots about learning how to be good at talking to interns as well as seals? #where little kids read poems they wrote at a christmas parties that sound *exactly* like a little kid wrote them? #and not in the 'kids who haven't internalised cliche yet can write some beautiful lines' way #mystic christmas: would recommend to a friend #there are no supernatural elements btw #that's the name of the town #which literally could have been named anything because it doesn't seem to be important to the plot at all #and no one makes any plays on 'mystic' that relate to its literal meaning

it's like a decade+ later but i really am convinced that my queer lit professor had a crush on me in undergrad and really, fuck me for not realizing i was bi earlier bc i would have pounced on that.

#kat liveblogs her life #she was this little butch southern lesbian #and i was OBSESSED with her #i just was dating someone and wasn't out yet and did not realize what was going on lol #sorry this is brought to you by me reading old emails with her after seeing a tweet that made me think of the situation #she literally wrote me: 'If I don't see you later have a good day...actually have a good day regardless of whether or not I see you' #ok dawn!! i see you!! i didn't when i was 20 but i do now!! #reading these emails as a 32 year old now i am like #'ok i can see why she had me stop by her office at 1:30AM to ask if i'd skipped a meeting bc i was uncomfortable with her for some reason' #(i did not understand it in the moment but later realized she was asking if i was uncomfortable bc i thought she had a crush on me) #(and she was awkwardly trying to assure me she didn't but also reading these emails now. YES SHE DID.) #sorry if none of this makes sense lol i'm just having a 'what if' moment rn #i have so many emails with this woman from the semester i took her queer lit class and they are all!! so!! flirty!! #i was also clearly flirting and Did Not Realize It #oh no!! baby kat what are you DOING

[taraxacum-vulpes]

.... what???????? girl i wrote all that. I'm sorry I'm autistic?????

#i'm sorry what #do i email her #this is so jarring. first time i've been told I sound like AI. #okay #rex wrote part of it #but he's not AI either.???

As Always i am dealing w bullshit behavior from ppl who make 6x what i earn

#pathologist prepped a breast specimen 'wrong' i.e. she used random ink colors for random margins that arent our usual #didnt wrote down anywhere what the fucking colors correspond to #my supervisor asks her coworker (bc shes on vacation) for aid and the coworker just goes 'lmao idk i didnt do that' #we email the pathologist and she emails back ''assign it to [coworker] theyll figure it out'' #???? no i dont think they will #like go girl give me nothing #this case was luckily benign. but it cannot be understated how bad this could be if this keeps occurring on cancer specimens

i am slowly being injured by the act of emailing my professor like i am in minecraft being poisoned. just going ough ough ough ough u know

#i can email any professor when i get their vibe down but i don't like her vibe #i have a category of profs that instinctively i will try to avoid as much as humanly possible #nothing was done on her end but i get bad vibes and ajkhjsjjsd she wants us to fucking zoom and i hate zoom and my laptop hates zoom #it is 2023 i hate zoom i hate it so much it makes me feel like i'm defiling my sweet laptop she is my love why would u make me do this #i fear she will get ill from it #i also fear that i will get ill from it but that's a separate thing #genuinely irrationally disturbed by zoom ngl #and i don't want to have to email my prof bc she's low-key condescending towards me #for reasons that i dissected and wrote out but it was unnecessarily long and too mean when i don't dislike her that much #i just dislike interacting with her in any way

my head is covered in blue gunk that they used for all the wires & electrodes to do the sleep deprived EEG this morning and i both look and feel like i walked straight outta professor hidgens lab

#i have had only one hour of sleep in the last almost 48 hours :D #im feelin gREAT #but she said they’ll post the results in a few days or so to see if i have epilepsy #i am collecting diagnosis’ like pokemon cards at this point #but in a WILD twist of events #i was chatting with the woman who was doing my eeg #and she has ALL THE SAME DIAGNOSIS I DO #so the appointment lasted like an extra hour cause we were just relating to each other #and she told me about practices and treatments that have helped her #and wrote them all down for me with her email which has me so 🥺 #feeling hopeful about my health for the first time in a long time!!! #she’s only the second ever person (that im aware of at least) that i’ve met who has the same diagnosis!! #so anyways #gonna take a shower and prob pass out soon #if i start being able to sing the first 16 bars of moana in tune i expect y’all to ole yeller me 🫡 #health mention tw #epilepsy mention tw #🪓 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐧𝐨𝐭 🎶 𝒔𝒉𝒖𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒇𝒖𝒄𝒌𝒌 𝒖𝒑𝒑𝒑 🎶・❥✐ ᵒᵒᶜ.

I am still seething over the premier's speech on wednesday and worried about what's going to happen to kids in this province when these policies start rolling out, but going to the protest downtown today and being surrounded by a couple thousand people shouting "protect trans kids" and hearing my mayor say "we hear you; we support you; we will fight for you" and having coffee with queer friends afterwards and talking about pets, and seeing that other family friends that I didn't know would be there had come out to protest made me feel less shit about the world.

#fatal rambles #alberta politics #and the NDP education critic sent me a detailed form letter in response to my ccing her on my angry email to the premier #which suggests that they're getting a lot of mail about it #(the premier and education and health ministers have of course not responded but I mostly wrote it to give the NDP political ammo; #I'm aware the UCP want us dead and nothing I can say will change that.)

Every day I think of the prof who got me into opera in my near east archaeo class by showing us handels xerxes…. The way she made us listen to ombra mai fu with our eyes closed changed the trajectory of my liiiiiiiife does she know that. Does she know

#she wrote me a bunch of letters of rec I should email her….

[folkorae]

I’m so sad, i lost access to my old kairi solo blog 😭

#❧ ⸻ jane speaks . #i wrote her like 4 years ago @ ofsanctum #i still remember the email and password but the problem is #tumblr insists that i reset the password via the email i used for the blog #but i lost access to the email bc microsoft blocked it???? #i am so sad haushauah #also probably some kh mutuals might know me from there #hi again!! ☺️✨🫶

Two days later and I'm still so angry I can't sleep

#really wish my dad wasnt so guillible and wasnt telling me to answer her even if I don't want to #and I hate that everyone is trying to get me to talk to her because she is gonna pay for half the glasses #what part of me refusing to see the person who was abusive af to me for over twenty years do they not get #how can they act shocked and disgusted when i tell them how she really is then tell me to be nice because 'she is sad“ #oh is she sad???? because i cut ties with her??? wow i wonder how I must feel myself after being seen as dog shit for years huh! #im so mad about it #i hate her and im amazed that she legit believe im gonna agree to have lunch with her and pretend nothing ever happened #she literally wrote it in her stupid email lmao #she is so fucking out of touch with reality and how much I hate her and wish she'd just vanish forever

haha. my GP was soooo confused when I said I've been sleeping like 14-16 hours a day with the new medication.

my dude. that has been an issue for a good long while now! had the exact same thing on the previous medication!! and also her going '16 HOURS A DAY?? 😨' did not make me feel any better lol

#it would be funny if it wasn't so imfur8 #damn I hit enter. infuriating #anyway #she didn't understand that I'm taking the new meds because I can't sleep. and thought I sleep a lot and that's why I'm taking them #I mean I don't know how you'd word that any more clearly than I already did initially #but I just explained it all over again and then she seemed to get it. sort of. #but she wrote me a note for my uni so it's whatever #she's literally the exact opposite of my psychiatrist (who is great) #(and who remembers everything) #(even though he is definitely older than her so that's no excuse) #anyway got the note sent the note in an email now I can sleep #personal

writing lucy gray is super fun but it's also really challenging because "goodbye, lucy gray, we hardly knew you" is so TRUE.

we only see her through snow's eyes and he proves time and time again to be an unreliable narrator and besides surface level stuff, there really isn't much shown about her actual feelings and motivations. only what snow perceives of her.

i stand pretty firmly on the side of snow didn't really love her (he might have thought it was love, but it was really just obsession/possession) but i was thinking about lucy gray's feelings toward him and honestly, it can be read either way.

that being said, i do love how it's left ambiguous. was she just going along with him in order to survive? partially, i think, yes. especially at first. but i do think she had genuine feelings for him, even if they were tied to this trauma bond they shared. i do think she loved him until he proved that he couldn't be trusted.

#anyway suzanne collins can i have your email so we can discuss this at length? #i think it's more tragic to think that she truly loved him while he only wanted to possess her #and her slow realization of that fact is heartbreaking #when a person you think the world of disappoints you #because when i think of the song she wrote for him i'm like there is no way it was all for show #tbosas #chrissy.txt

[romulanfucker]

just sent an email to nana visitor 🙈

#saw on twitter she was looking for stories for a book shes writing about the impact of women in trek and she wanted people to tell how #the women of trek inspired them (esp if they went into the medical field she said she wanted more stories for that) and it was after midnite #so i have no impulse control and i wrote a little email about how janeway made me stop hating my middle name #bc its spelled the same as her

[candlewitches]

cannot sleep mostly because of pain but also bc i am still full of rage at the former (and now current again LMAO) execs of my former larp. like literally. “i can excuse (alleged) mismanagement, fraud, and embezzlement, but i draw the line at a sternly worded announcement”

#posted my grievances and dipped today after handing over the last of my work as a lore officer #and the now treasurer was saying that theyd reach out to everyone posting grievances #and like please please please evil kat reach out to me please please i am going to be so mean <3 #if she reaches out over email ill be professionally mean #but if she attempts to dm me as a friend :) #you are spineless and a coward in all things :) #you did nothing when the former treasurer abandoned the lore team (then actively fucked us over) or when she abandoned the club newspaper :) #you did even did nothing when she fucked over your husban’s plot for the year :) #when she (allegedly) stole up to 10k!!! from the club you swept it under the rug and hid it from membership #and when it came to light you actively defended her and called in your corporate lawyer daddy to defend you #from the fact that you have shit friends and cant use google or even read the damn charter you wrote #like if i see the former treasurer it is actively on sight i will yell at her in a grocery store #but evil kats betrayal feels more personal bc she came to our house for thanksgiving #and then kept saying she was ‘equally friends with both sides’ while defending (alleged) embezlement #frost may be an immature idiot with bad friends but at least he seems to have finally realized it
