instead of whining about my guts i was originally planning to make some sort of deep point about using humor in fiction to make more brutally-incisive points, like you can’t be that savage if it’s all dark all the time you have to make people laugh to open up for the really insightful stuff, but. then i never got my shit together.

also i had planned? at some point? to update? a chapter of something? but i literally cannot stay focused for long enough to do it, pray for me, i’m really having Troubles this week.

BUT. I leveraged the sheer power of a Discord server to get me to buy shoes since I need fucking shoes and the shoes arrived yesterday, early!!! so I am wearing rose gold birkenstocks and it is amazing how good the arch support is in these things.

ALSO I have gotten a lot of writing done I think but I don’t actually know, including a fuckload of torturing Iorveth in backstory, so I don’t know where the fuck any of this is going but boy is it going.

also i have been doing a lot of worldbuilding about dragons don’t @ me i do what i want (Your picture was not posted)

Author Ursula Vernon has a friend currently staying with her.

Ursula and Kevin reply:

This is still one of the best Internet Sitcoms around at the moment. You’re welcome.

Addition:

The friend is not just staying with Ursula and Kevin. Before the tweets above, she swore fealty to Ursula.

So, had her cat caused harm to her friend, Ursula may have had to… I don’t know, go to war against the cat for its transgressions?

Wait but if it’s Ursula’s cat and it injures Ursula’s vassal how does that work? Is this like how if your Welsh slave kills someone you owe extra weregild?

It would really depend on Sergei’s status viz everyone else, and who Sergei recognizes as an overlord.

Do cats generally recognize overlords?

Oh just in general though if you are on Twitter ever, you should follow these two– they have hilarious back and forths but also do antiracist protests and jail support actions and the like, and [personal profile] neolithicsheep just moved into a shed on [personal profile] tkingfisher‘s (that’s Ursula) back lot with all her livestock and it is absolutely riveting and you never know what is going to happen. Also I believe there’s merch about antifascist oxen somewhere in there. Not to be missed. It’s basically the only reason I can stand to check Twitter anymore. 

Thank you for the kind words! The antifascist oxen thing (which you can indeed get as merch here: https://www.teepublic.com/t-shirt/6539876-antifascist-oxen?store_id=61092) happened because as it turns out the Board of County Commissioners in Chatham County *doesn’t understand shitposting*.

See, there was a Confederate statue in front of the historic Chatham County Courthouse (it’s gone now! Yay!) and Twitter being Twitter a bunch of us were talking about how to get rid of it. I tweeted “If someone has a long enough chain I can bring in oxen, people will be so confused by the oxen it will give me time to get it down.”

And then, NO SHIT, the Chair of the Chatham County Board of County Commissioners USED THE TWEET IN AN AFFIDAVIT to prove to the court in a lawsuit by the United Daughters of the Confederacy that the statue was legitimately under threat if it remained in place.

Because I might somehow manage to get a team of oxen into downtown Pittsboro and take down the statue without anyone noticing and doing something about it, like arresting me and impounding my oxen.

I am very proud because it’s my first appearance in a court filing, and also very disappointed that no one deposed me over that tweet because pulling the statue down with a team of oxen would have been impossible due to the angle of draft. I wanted to explain shitposting in court.

I saw Ursula’s tweet as the statue came down! I was so excited I screenshotted it and sent it to a bunch of non-Twitter friends! Congratulations!!! I keep meaning to subscribe to your Patreon but it is Turkey Week and the attention span is brief. This made me remember to actually look it up and do it, though.

I was sort of following along with the antifascist oxen thing but did not realize all of the details. What a hell of a thing. But I want to know how many times shitposting has had to be explained in various courts due to the uhhhh current events in general of late.
