Gwyneth Patlrow is pushing NFTs and I cannot stop laughing. If anyone ever needed more proof that NFT markets are built on BS and woo... here ya go.

Also, I am suddenly being swept with NFT ads on Facebook. I thought maybe because it detected my YT activity, even though it shouldn't be able to. But I am seeing from other people that the as push is just in overdrive right now. That's also why suddenly Paris Hilton and others are suddenly showing their assesapes.

Station 11

( I am up to episode 8, and that will be all for a while because the HBO player is the worst I've used and keeps crashing )

Romancing the Beat

I had a feeling that I'd read this before. I did read the intro once, but didn't pick it up because it has a very 'lol i did a meme' writing style and starts out very heteronormative. Later, the books switches to using H1 and H2 instead of presuming the MC is a girl and the secondary character is a guy. The example story broken down into a beat sheet is m/m.

I am glad I decided to give it another try. I had written this off as not-for-me. I agree with a lot of things in this book, including the idea that you can write what you want but if you call it a romance there are genre expectations. Failing to deliver isn't subversive, it's edgelord. I so agree with this! Also, external goals aren't wrong and are often part of the book's unique appeal \o/ Goddam, finally, these crafts books were giving me a complex.

Anyway, I am glad I read it. Now it's time to move onto Le Guin's book.
