I started using Scrivener in 2012 or so, and I’ve kept the same license going ever since — despite the fact that support ended for my version of Scrivener years ago. I’m now at the point where the app crashes on two startups out of every three. Upgrading to the latest version of Scrivener would cost me $80, so I figured I’d try out some other (cheaper) writing apps and see if they were viable options instead.
This is how I found out I am yet again a severe edge case with the workflow of an insane person, and Scrivener is more or less the only writing app with a design that accommodates my bullshit.
I guess I’m spending $80.

The Cozy Tribalism of Hogwarts
When we look at what is compelling and desirable about living in her world, the vision that her characters present, and (yes) the inherent nature of “Hogwarts Houses,” it becomes clear that Rowling’s art embraces tribalism and an ‘us versus them’ ethos with deep earnesty. Its comfort, grown all the more comforting in the cold social-media-addled word we now find ourselves living in, is the warm comfort of ‘belonging.’
And in order to truly belong, others must not.
If you are a Bluesky person or a Fediverse person, you can now follow me over on Wafrn. No, I don’t know how you pronounce that either.
