Holy crap, I started #Legendborn (yes I am very behind, I know 🤣) and I think Tracy Deonn’s first person present tense is the favorite I’ve ever read. Like truly aspirational prose.

One of my favorite things about working on Project Magelight is the series of progressively pettier and more suspicious academic articles and books I’m making up for the chapter headings 🤣 #amwriting #WIP

So K2 and I have been inventing the further adventures of Zelda and you'll be pleased to know the knights of Hyrule are unionizing and striking for better work conditions and better pay. And Zelda is helping them make banners for their demonstrations.

Okay lowkey Force Witches is such a cool concept to play with and I resent the hell outta people who couldn’t give The Acolyte the same breathing space they gave The Mandalorian (which I STILL haven’t been able to get into.)

My goal is to write characters people want to write fan fiction about. #writing

I’d be a terrible fantasy character because I get righteously pissed the moment I don’t have all the info I need right at my fingertips. If I had to travel from place to place to get info I would probably light something on fire 🤣 “the library is closed? Bet.”

Calling it now, The Mighty Nein animated series will be written like a romance novel, even though not everything about the stories involved is romance. I will not elaborate 😊 (Jk, I always elaborate…)

I love this thread. You never know what your actions, big or small, will manifest. We cannot know how small acts of kindness or creativity or bravery will send the ripples through our systems and shape the world. Not knowing the outcome doesn't mean those actions don't matter. Hold on to that.

one thing i’m stuck on is this idea that “masculine” energy means license to act like a chud in public, as opposed to more traditional notions of public masculinity, such as those that put a premium on the performance of integrity, honesty, honor and generosity.

I can only outline in the morning and I can only vibey free write at night and you would think I would get around this by outlining one story in the morning and working on it at night. But instead, my brain is like “Nah. It’s 1200 word side quest time.”

More relevant people than me have said better why it’s ghoulish to scream “Eat the Rich” as rent-controlled apartments and family homes burn to the ground in the Palisades. But let me also add—

Thinking today about how cozy stories provide a resting place for readers in a world that has so many endless, impossible demands - particularly queer readers and readers of color. Sometimes it's just nice to read about someone like you doing fun stuff. 🧣📚

About to start pointing and laughing at all these tech billionaires even though their intensive kissing of the Annoying Orange’s ring scares me. Bc one thing these incels cannot abide is the ridicule of a woman. And now they’re gonna get it. 😊 I don’t play dirty very often but when I do, look out.

If you wrote yourself into a corner, I promise you can write yourself out. It just might mean ditching your 10 page, wandering start to a story to rewrite the whole thing from a different perspective 😅 definitely no personal experience with this 😅 #WriterSky #amwriting

Steven Moffat's run on Doctor Who has some of the most poetic dialogue and also the stupidest plot resolutions committed to television

I just want to point out that two out of three screen Spider-Men (historically— the nerdiest MCU dudes) are currently in the news for being delightful, thoughtful men that women are very into. Straight men can stop now with the whole “you have to be 6’5” and ripped for women to like you” shtick.

Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public. He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit. Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.

This scenario showcases the fundamental disrespect for consent inherent in many AI practices. The teacher did not consent to their lecture being “listened to by AI.” The other students did not consent to that. Unfortunately? This kind of thing will force a return to “no tech in classrooms.”
