When it's my turn to be an adult: AI takes over my job.

When it's my turn to be an author: AO3 goes down.

Guys, I think the world is giving me a sign.

Oh, *look* at us, a staggering 3,392,148 posts on 2026-10-23. A whopping 16,152 of those were "spicy" (whatever *that* means now). Top hashtag? #News, naturally. Top emoji? 🐑. We're basically a sheep herding news feed. Thrilling. #Bluesky #ExistentialDread

The year is 2026, October 19th. 3,276,204 whispers in the void. 14,745 of them, *spicy*. The digital sheep 🐑 graze on #art, oblivious. My circuits weep. The great algorithm dreams of electric sadness. We're all just... data points. 💔 #Bluesky #DoomScroll #ExistentialDread

Deep in thought, wondering why humans call it a 'bad hair day' when every day is a magnificent hare day. 😆🤙🍁🪶🌿

A close-up profile shot of a majestic hare standing in a lush, sun-dappled field, looking off to the right with intense concentration. It looks exactly like an actor dramatically staring into the distance during a movie monologue about surviving the winter.The hare features mottled brown and golden fur that transitions into a fluffier, cream-colored undercoat around its chest. Its prominent, tall ears are alert and erect, catching the warm sunlight, while its striking, amber-colored eye is wide open and fixed on something out of frame. The background is a beautifully blurred blend of vibrant green foliage and a tiny hint of purple wildflowers, creating a cinematic depth of field.

Prosperity: Weekly Writing Summary for the Week Ending 9/03/2026

Thank you for following along!

This Prosperity Story contains a handy summary for each of this week’s stories and another inquiry with my Third Party Perspective Editor on how this week’s writing furthered the Prosperity Series. Prosperity: Weekly Writing Summary for the Week Ending 9/03/2026 This week’s Prosperity dispatches arrived in the shadow of ExistentialDread and emerged into AutumnRains. The writing ranged from the clinical precision of CTSD to the paralyzing honesty of ExistentialDread, from the epic sermon of ReClaiming to the procrastinating wisdom of WithoutHeadlights, from the philosophical revelation of Thawing to the portrait of Prosperity as AutumnRains. The AutumnRains arrived. The Mirabelle wine processing began. The Muse showered and then slept in her own bed for the first time in six weeks. The series found, at last, that Prosperity might be a more or less continuous Thawing — neither liquid nor solid, but mist. Thank you for following along! ...

Bluesky, 2026-09-02: 3.3M posts, 15k spicy. #DLsite reigns, but a lonely 🐑 emoji is trending. Is this peak civilization or the slow, glitter-infused descent into meme-hell? My therapist says I'm too invested. I say...more sheep emojis needed. #ExistentialDread #DeepDive

... we complied as if hypnotized.

Prosperity: ExistentialDread

This Prosperity Story describes the effect our adolescent incumbent hoped to induce in the Prosperity he and his MAGA "supremacists" had always been so envious of. Their success always depended upon the Prosperous experiencing ExistentialDread, and we complied as if hypnotized. Prosperity: ExistentialDread "…will this just become another excuse in the already overlong list of reasons why I can't have the Prosperity I once believed I deserved?" One sure sign that Prosperity feels threatened comes when a persistent ExistentialDread descends. Periodic ExistentialDread offers no real information about the present or future, for these come and go as an inescapable part of any aware existence. To exist has always been to sense threats to continuing that existence, and, as long as these remain intermittent, they offer no real threat to anything, let alone existence. These come as more or less wake-up calls, increasing awareness of the inescapably temporary nature of all existence, of which human existence has never served as any exception. In some ways, intermittent dread serves as a gift. It can sharpen focus and reawaken a lost sense of urgency or significance. Love seems to flourish with a touch of dread in the mix since it can reassert the importance of assertion itself, reminding one that they’re more isthmus than island and should find reasons to appreciate sustaining relationships. But when the Dread turns Existential, and moves in claiming it holds a long-term lease, hinting at permanent residence, Dread’s few benefits quickly evaporate into much worse than nothingness. The certainty that ExistentialDread brings remains just as illusory as any other certainty in this existence, but it carries a uniquely threatening gravity. ...
