gollark: No, nonfiction, I'm writing for my blog.
gollark: Unrelatedly, writing things is *quite hard* and school is *terrible* about teaching how to do it.
gollark: not really.
gollark: I don't really care much either. It's not like we actually *need* moderation actions frequently here.
gollark: Anyway, I don't care much either way, I can notice the "new message here" indicator in the server's list and look, but if there's a ping for any conversation it'll end up pinging me even at night when I'm not looking at it.
