You never need to apologize for:
•Condemning killing of civilians
•Condemning killing of civilians as a response to killing civilians
•Condemning war crimes no matter the perpetrator
•Needing time & space to center yourself before speaking

Then in the 1900’s, it came to mean “showy but worthless”.

Today, it is equated with “treasonous mobster shitweasel” (TMS).

Watching the scramble to figure out if LK-99 is an Actual Thing™ is fun, but I'm hearing comments like "If it's real it'll mean high-speed trains everywhere!"

Hot Wheels: The Movie (a parable about our broken car culture)

GI Joe: The Reboot, directed by Taika Waititi (deconstructs masculinity the way Barbie did the patriarchy)

Etc.

I have been using a big physical sand hourglass to motivate my writing sessions lately.

Today I didn't notice that instead of flipping it correctly I had left it with a subtle tilt that meant the last sand was pooled over on the top glass chamber unable to fall, an infinite "just one last minute to go" of work.

Thus was I imprisoned in a cage of my own making.

This is also a story about production measures of productivity.
