@extinct @dankwraith from the shadows of the cave mouth, a figure in traveling leathers and rainbow striped leggings approaches the little circle of golden light. "we never knew we were night crew," she says uncertainly. "we just heard the legends, same as everyone. but we saw your fire, shining out into the dark, and all at once we...just knew." she sits down and reaches out to the warmth of the flames. "there's no place we'd rather be."

today on the hacker news variety show: in response to a confirmed report of a tenured academic being shitty and discriminatory in a career-limiting way because he does not personally like someone, let’s all:
• talk about the nature of free will
• blame the victim
• bikeshed whether blacklisting is really blacklisting

Speaking of publishing things, I'll take this opportunity to mention my new site https://lexie.space that went live today! You'll find there:

- A novel-length Lovecraftian pirate romance
- A short story from when I was in high school
- A poem about an intimate moment between two fuzzy fellows
- A fragment, one of what I intend to be many over time

Everything there's CW/NSFW-tagged as needed, and if nothing else, there's got to be lots of material for spicy subtoots! Check it out!
