ASM of the last show I was in posted this pic in her yearly round-up and I was like “awww look there’s me with my laptop writing away at rehearsal!” and then I zoomed in and no, bitch, that’s a photo of me staring at my phone instead of writing. Laptop open in front of me, phone in hand, iPad kid
One of my FAVORITE things about the internet is random posts that were really only meant for OP’s 5 friends/followers to see, weirdo shlock that was never going to be picked up by the algorithm or go viral, that escape containment and end up on my feed. ❤️ a yt video by a middle schooler w 10 views

Very saddened to say I won’t be able to headline Tim Pool’s student event in Chicago this week.
I unfortunately have other plans.

![Hi Katherine,
Timcast Media is partnering with the Chicago Thinker to host a student event in Chicago on October 9 at 4:00 PM.
The event will feature a one-on-one conversation with Tim Pool followed by a live student Q&A. To create a dynamic and balanced dialogue, we are specifically seeking a featured guest to represent a left-leaning perspective.
Timcast Media will fully cover and arrange all travel and accommodations.
Thank you in advance for your consideration.
Sincerely,
[REDACTED]
Hi Lisa,
Sorry, I'll be too busy slamming my hand in a car door that day to talk with Tim. Hope you understand.

I carry a moleskin in my bag with me 24/7 and jot down little bits of whatever writing I’m doing when they come off the top of my head
Tonight I had several lines EVAPORATE from my mind by the time I had walked 10 steps and sat down to write them in the notebook
Gonna have to get a pocket one ig

I stopped doing theater at a local theatre company because a 40-something man was regularly hitting on and sleeping with the 20-something women and everyone knew and several women had reported him for harassment and the folks in charge actively refused to do anything about it. I miss the place.
Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

I’m writing an extremely self indulgent enemies-to-lovers tropey romance draft as I wait to get some necessary distance from my other rough draft before editing and oh my god I’m having the time of my life. Flew through like 4k words while sitting at work today!

Maybe the high cost is the point. Pay women less than men, make childcare prohibitively expensive, push women out of the work force, make them dependent on their husbands. While we’re at it, force them to give birth to babies they don’t want to guarantee it happens.

Since everyone says it’s best to let your draft sit and get some distance before starting revisions, I’ve decided to circle back to working on a first draft of another novel I’d been kicking around, and man. The early first draft stage is just so much fun.

I’ve never played WoW but everyone playing Forever is really making me want to jump on that train, at least for the launch hype

I met a guy who plays one of the racing pierogis at the Pirates games and he talked about it with the same quiet, humble reverence of Sir Ian McKellen talking about playing the heroes of Shakespeare

I can tell I’m pushing 30 because I’ve started saying things like “these walls really need scrubbed“ and “I know I just did these floors the other day, but you could do floors every day and still find dirt and it needed done!”

I’ve decided to Get The Fuck Over Myself and hurry up and put some bullshit to the page to wrap up this first draft of this novel. It’s a first draft, it’s meant to Exist Poorly and it shall be poor and that’s ok!
Making this decision has immediately made me much more spare lmao

It really is striking to me that EVERY time my sleep schedule is left unattended for more than like 3 days, it INEVITABLY drifts right back to like 1:30/2:00am bedtime- 9:30/10:00am wake up time. That is my natural rhythm, that is my homeostasis, everything in my body wants to get back there

I’m like 75% sure I have ADHD. Remaining 25% is “maybe I’m just lazy and inattentive”
But regardless, growing up this way has given me a permanent sense of dread. I always assume I must be forgetting something or have misunderstood something

I’ve been working on line flashcards for this play and it’s been HOURS of work so far.
I’ve been sending this pic to ppl and asking how many pages of the script they think this stack represents
Everyone so far has guessed 50-60…
Fellas. Not even to the end of page 28

I’ve been reading about Ada Lovelace and her work on the Analytical Engine and it’s just really hard not to draw the obvious parallels between her breathless excitement over this “thinking machine” and the so-called “thinking machine” of AI dominating all modern discourse, but this bit stands out

Treating myself by printing out pages of my writing project to edit longhand. It’s too early for editing. But I know looking at it on paper and scribbling all over it will make me see the whole thing differently
