Everything is _ on a long enough timescale

Hi! I write stuff!

If you happen to have a Gemini browser, you can find my writing here here:
gemini://emisocks.com/stories/

If you don't, there are a couple public http proxies you can use:

My short stories are usually somewhat kinky in nature, sometimes sexual and sometimes not, and usually feature furry characters. When there is sex they're marked with [NSFW]. There is a collection of tags under each one that should double as content warnings, along with approximately how long each one is in terms of words.

If you have any feedback I'll be happy to hear it, but do keep in mind that I am not a professional writer, so don't hold me to very high standards! It just makes me very happy when someone enjoys what I write, so please don't be afraid to tell me if that's the case.

Trans man Dracula, smashing his glass into the wall after being misgendered for the last time: "What is a ma'am?!"

Me, to my partner, who is an inkling: Hey, remember when I said the house should be covered in goo so you can swim in it and move faster?
Xem: Yeah?
Me: That's slime travel

Thank you Sirlin for giving me the opportunity to do this

Really though, I can't remember the last time I was this invested in a fictional straight pair

Today I finished reading Beautiful Foxbutt by @Featherwatt (the sequel to Foxbutt) and it's just as funny, sweet, genuine and hot as the first.

Both are very recommended if the words "this is the cutest porn I have ever read" sound appealing to you at all. And if you like foxes. https://www.smashwords.com/books/byseries/53180

Okay, so I may not be able to speak Danish or understand when people speak it, but I am kinda able to sorta understand written messages and only have to translate one or two words, which is something at least

As a person who is only vaguely computers I can't tell if Wayland is good or not but I CAN say that I have looked at xorg before and thought "Why is _that_ the responsibility of a window manager??"

I feel such a huge sense of pride whenever I manage to write a thing

It's not like it's super long or anything! But it is a thing that I wrote and that more than one person told me is enjoyable and that's honestly amazing

Currently playing A Link to the Past and holy crap, this game is _good_

Certainly not perfect, but like. Actually good. Not just "good for its time but janky and weird", like I'm used to games from that era being. It's like, genuinely fun to play and well designed

Friend really enjoyed the sentence "Slowly, Rei pulled their head back and slipped their tongue out of Latti's mouth, in that order."

Loving the amount of slime on @gamelevels lately

I wrote a little story about big dicks! Please check it out if you are interested in unrealistically big dicks. And as always, let me know if you enjoy it!

Contains:
- Furry people
- Sex

When I was a kid I thought the "saxon genitive" was a food thing. Like a sauce or something

I keep accidentally ending my chat messages with "kj" and having to delete it because that's my "exit insert mode" shortcut in Vim

Especially considering that it doesn't have any "daily streak" gamification elements as far as I know? That's usually a big contributor

Huh, people are _still_ playing Wordle. I really expected the fad to have passed by now. That's interesting

I don't think these things usually last more than a couple weeks

Morphogenetic Sorrow is such an amazing song

Me, trying to think of names for a character: "Wait, no, I know someone named like that in real life, I can't use that"

I was pretty scared about signing up for Data Parallel Programming but honestly, I seem to be doing just fine

In terms of understanding the content and doing the exercises at least. Maybe not so much workload. But hey, it's good

Holy crap what https://twitter.com/XProger_san/status/1481935063872851968?t=W3KcvuqxA5LeX62BEmD69Q&s=19

Because like, this works great for stuff like map, but as soon as you wanna filter or reduce or something like that, suddenly you have lists of unknown sizes all over the place

So. It would definitely need to be optional

Been thinking about Futhark's lists and how their length is parameterized at the type level and wondering how useful that would be in something like Haskell
