I just installed a plugin that should let me use one of my greatest joys in writing¹ .  I don’t have a specific use for them at the moment, but they are a necessary component for to let me write the way I think² but still allow for some semblance of clarity³.

¹ Subtitles⁴ (back)

² Disjointedly (back)

³ Aside from the content, of course (back)

⁴ Or, for those of you who prefer to use the words that actually have the meaning you are trying to convey⁵, “Footnotes”. (back)

⁵ A category I myself belong to when I’m not being inexplicably⁶ stupid. (back)

Pointless musing of the moment: DUring my time in Australia, I realized that it is absolutely impossible for me to encounter the words “Botany Bay” without hearing them said by Checkov when they discover Khan’s ship in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan 

(puzzled, recognizing the name but not remembering the context)  “Botany Bay…?” (with dawning realization of how totally screwed they now are)  “Botany Bay!“

Every single time.
