This is not how you say “Happy Pride”, SoCal Edison. Or happy anything. Nothing like getting completely fucked over as summer swings in. I can’t even take on more Freelance work, because I need the damn computer for that.

Having a mother is complicated and fraught. Not having a mother is complicated and fraught. Being a mother is complicated and fraught. Not being a mother is complicated and fraught. Sending love to you today, whatever your relationship with motherhood. ❤️

NYPD: we found a book called Moby Dick at the encampment, which is proof that the protesters are planning to ram the university with a whale.

churches have always been a key pillar in organizing for change. From immigrant protections to anti war to the civil rights movement and anti slavery. “As He died to make men holy, Let us die to make men free”

After ages of being told “oh, you should read Dune since you like Tolkien” I finally have. Jesus Christ. I love the world building and I can handle the dense prose, but Jesus Christ, is there even a momentary reprieve from the grimness?

This is awful and predictable. The kind of parent who would raise this objection would: (A) not want their child to develop the intellectual skills to recognize witch hunts; and (B) as a subset, would not want their child to read the Crucible and think about the historical context of McCarthyism.

Nobody wants to see a 90 minute romcom starring me, least of all me.

So I just discovered For All Mankind and have been binging it all night. I thought the most scandalous and jaw dropping part of this episode was going to be when the FLIGHT bypassed CAPCOM to speak directly to astronauts, something I don’t think I’ve EVER seen in a space show. But no. That ending.

“A giant rat? And they take the weans to play with it?” Jamie Fraser’s reaction to Disneyland is the only correct one.

Updating my med list, and my phone autocorrected Hydralazine to Hydrazine. I think I'd have serious problems if I took 300mg of Hydrazine every day. On the other hand, I might be able to fart myself into low-earth orbit, if I didn't die first.

I’m tired of fighting real politics, I just want a West Wing reboot where CJ is president that I can filter all this shit through.

A lot of Americans would barf on themselves if they had to come to terms with the fact that "just working harder" as a philisophy has nothing to do with personal financial gain and everything to do with ensuring billionaires can wring every last drop of labor out of you before you die.

OTOH, Audible has Audra McDonald reading The Iliad on sale, and Jesus Christ, I didn't know I needed that combination in my life.

It's sad when you see a compelling looking book on Audio, and then you see it's narrated by "Virtual Voice". If you, as an author, are going to screw over audiobook narrators, who do magnificent, amazing creative work, you're not getting my support. Period.

One thing that’s really hitting me is the parallels between Uncle Iroh and The Doctor. We can have tea and Jammy Dodgers or we can have The Dragon of the West and The Destroyer of Worlds. It’s your choice. It’s always your choice.

Got interested in an indie series, then hit book 2, and in the first couple chapters the author (via the MC) goes on an extended anti-abortion rant. And I'm out. My first DNF of the year.

I will never be able to see the words “unspoken prayer request” and not mentally translate it as “I got drama brewing but I ain’t telling your bitch ass; I want you to stew.” Whether it’s from a 12 year old or a 92 year old, it means EXACTLY THAT.

If they're going to do a Devil Wears Prada musical, they better damn well get Jenifer Lewis to play Miranda.

It's such a delightful thing when reading, when the author's talking about someone you've never heard of with such admiration that you've got to learn more about them. Just added Pat Summitt's memoir to my wishlist.

Your body is a temple. Mine has a desperate real estate agent listing it as “a fixer-upper with great bones!” but also “sold as-is” with a stack of federally-mandated disclosures.

My depression can be cured with an infusion of $10bn into my bank account, with a monthly allowance of $1m for the rest of my life, as well as a complete body transplant, putting my (magically cured of mental illness) brain inside the body of an attractive, thin, 18 year old twink.
