Aug. 25th, 2017 10:00 amAhahah oh god. A couple of showrunners on Twitter were bemoaning this being the week they found out their idols and influences were sexist jackasses (Cameron and Whedon as far as I know) and then I went onto a twitter screed about Marion Zimmer Bradley and how finding out about that bullshit made me feel. The summation of which is I can't personally reread her books even though I own a lot of them, I'm glad I don't have to debate supporting her or just buying used and hiding them in a box forever anymore, she was a fucking monster, I can't discount that she was a big influence on women in fiction, and I won't go through my psyche and throw out everything reading her books gave me. That's mine now. I own it, and it's my responsibility to make sure that it makes me a good person and not a monster like her.
But oh boy howdy the complicated feelings. And, heh, the not being alone in them at least because five or six people, the second I brought up her name, knew exactly what was going on.
I did get the new phone, thank god. And things open when I tell them to and stay open until I tell them to close, and the buttons work, which is all to the good. The old one will be sent off for recycling, or if anyone knows of a program to send old iPhones to that will refurbish and give them to a shelter or something? I have an old iPhone now! A year or two before I meant to but hey.
So now that's getting set up. Also it's annoyingly big, and it's the smaller one, I can only imagine how much more aggravating the iPhone 7 is. Or is that the one where they stopped making it so huge but also took away the headphones. Dammit, Apple.
Bleeegh okay packing definitely needs to occur sometime tonight or tomorrow evening, but I'm going to try to go in to work some time before my hair appointment to pick up things because god knows I'm not going to be good about doing it while I'm at work Monday or Tuesday. I guess apart from that the only thing I need to do for con is finish catching up on shows of which I have 40 hours left, I might skip Vikings S2 since I have seen it already and go straight to S3, and other than that it's going to be keeping up with writing, remembering to post in Patreon, same old same old. Try to come up with the dreaded Promotional Copy for Turing Shrugged. Try to remember to talk about it online. Endless to-do lists I think might be the way to accomplish keeping up with the business of being a writer. As opposed to the circumstance of being a writer, in which one writes as one is moved to.
