1. I am going to the beach! For a week! Starting Sunday! I plan to relax, a lot.

2. I posted on fictional_fans asking for comfort-fic recs to preload my phone with, if anyone wants to jump it.

3. I started watching the Chinese Guardian TV show because fic for it came up on Pinboard fandom-popular and it's free with subs on youtube and I figure, given the inevitable ongoing decline of the West, I should get a head start on Chinese fandoms.

It is... kind of amazing? In that it reminds me so much of the shows that were popular when I first got into fandom, trope-y and fun and not super interested in being good for the sake of good and characters that are compelling with out being deep, and also super-slashy without feeling queerbaity? I want some super-deep meta about, like, how Chinese media can still get that feel where most newer Western/Japanese media can't, and what that means, especially in terms of Western slash fans picking up on it, but I don't want to write it.

I also really, really want the Rivers of London crossover, but that is a different level of want.

4. It occurred to me the other day, while trying to write fanfic, that I have a probably somewhat excessive number of pairings where "and they solved a Millennium Problem together!" is a signifier for a romantic happy ending? Meanwhile I can't even get anyone to help me get through the third level of Euclidea on my phone. :P

5. I am still messing around in the con.txt discord! So far it is slow enough that it's not eating my life. Hopefully it does not become to slow to live. It is very useful for saying the sort of things that I would otherwise feel like I had to save for con.txt, so I guess that's good?

It's super-weird that Discord has become this popular without having the ability to do *hyperlinks*, though. O.o
