Boneless wing me, my kingdom for some boneless wings.

Just bums me out when I get an update from someone I admire saying, "Great news! I'm going to Substack!" I mean, why. I get that some people joined a few years ago and are now trapped. But why join Substack now when there are way better alternatives?

Okay, I've been wanting to say something about how I don't think art is for escapism (not in the way most people mean, i.e. "Art is for distracting me from the horrors for a while") but THIS? This I agree with. This feels like the antithesis to distraction.

Today's report. Getting started writing was tough. Definitely not easy. But I made sure to eat. Continue my hellochinese streak. Played a bit of Warframe so a friend could help me get the mats for Garuda Prime. After it all, I was still able to get in the fucking chair and get nine more pages down.

it's also, importantly I think, about the ability to go blonde and summon a giant ball of condensed spiritual energy to destroy your foes. Yes. I think going super saiyan is not a talked about enough part of transitioning.

The wild part is that it WILL hit them. Look at all the non-Black women who are suddenly out of a job. The damage they think is reserved for us (that we are “strong enough” to bear”) isn’t reserved JUST for us. If you are not a cishet, “able-bodied” white man, you’re on the chopping block too babe

I'm hosting a sapphic monster erotic romance anthology in 2025! Submissions open January 1st.

NEW STORY, NEW PAGE, NEW BLAIDENS COME GET YOUR FREE QUEER FANTASY COMICS

While trying to be sexy I misspoke. Instead of going, "clap my cheeks," I said, "chap my cleeps." Life with my partner has never been the same since as we'll now just go "my cleeps!" at random moments.

Next election is like prime time for socialists and communists to run for local office

Current status: we're smuggling eggs in from Mexico now. So let's talk about WHY Mexico's egg industry has been stable- while US egg prices are through the roof! 1. Mexico puts people in jail for price-fixing. 2. Mexico lets farmers vaccinate their chickens against bird flu.

Reminder for marginalized citizens of fascist regimes that if things become pressing, you don't have to think about immigration as 'all or nothing'. This is an error I see many westerners make--that if you can't get residency/asylum right away then it's not worth trying.

People will die over this. The cruelty is astonishing

Point in case. When things get bad (as if they already aren't), and you wonder where the vigilantes are, the student protestors, the political radicals, everyone who would stand know that you killed them. Like those who don't understand what government does until it's gone, you didn't until now.

If a reader dislikes your politics, then no amount of subtlety will prevent them from accusing your story of not being subtle enough. Not even if the politics of the story are about your right to live. Don’t go quieter to appease the callow.

More and more I understand the Weatherman who said, "bombings are morally neutral." I understand the social madness they spoke about. I get it. I get it. They weren't perfect, but they saw it, saw us, for what we are as a nation.

I'm going to be so real, there's a lot of questions and discussions about violence to have in society. Cause violence is everywhere, all around us constantly. America's foundation is blood and bone, as is lost national powers.

This thread is one year old today, and, unfortunately, it is even more important to be reading and preserving trans stories than when it started. I truly thank everyone who has contributed to it, everyone who has kept sharing it, and everyone who has made a point to buy books from these authors. 🧵

Oh I forgot to post this here, but I'm trying to get out O f this country, and I'd greatly appreciate help in leaving gofund.me/6b54bc3d

Bless these people

I wish more people were talking about egg prices as less of a “muh egg prices!” thing and more about the fact that there is an organized egg cartel that is illegally price gouging and almost certainly illegally price fixing and reaping massive, gigantic profits.

CLEAN SLATE on Prime feels like the right show for this moment it’s got broad appeal, is charming as heck, and it’s the kind of show families can watch together we need cis ppl to watch this with OTHER cis folks in your life who are on the fence about trans people this could move the needle 🩷

a secret about me is that I'm obsessed with adaptations of & riffs on Beauty and the Beast. I dug up the '78 Czech adaptation on youtube and have become a little obsessed with it - it's a darker film than Cocteau's, very sensual, opulent, gothic. blends in a bit of Psyche & Eros. loved it.

Y'all please enjoy the brand spankin' new lyric video for the "Clean Slate" Theme Song, performed by renowned badass Alex Newell. Please hit Prime Video to enjoy our ode to unconditional love and whatnot.

I think writers and artists need to learn self-respect. And I mean it. To not hedge around "aspiring writer, teehee," to not denigrate themselves as "content creators" or to call their work mere "content" at all. To talk about themselves as artists, as writers, as making work that stands on its own.

The fact we have become this stupid and cruel and awful of a country in real time Would be a god damn satire worthy of VOLTAIRE If it wasn’t completely in earnest and absolutely triggering

So the President not only fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. He also fired the top JAGs at the Army, Navy and Air Force. Those are the lead people who determine what is a legal order and what is not. So if you're planning to do things that are illegal they're the most obvious obstacle.

Staying in this weekend? Check out THINGS WILL BE DIFFERENT, a lo-fi brain twisty time travel movie in which a pair of bank robbers take shelter in an alternate dimension/timeline to wait out the heat and get more than they bargained for. The feature debut of director Michael Felker & it's on HULU.

Just a word on this @wired.com team — I work with these folks and even with one foot in from the outside, I’m astounded at how many impactful scoops are flying out of the joint left and right. Subscribe, support, buy the merch — do what you gotta do, but this is a fuckin’ good place for your dollar

Among those Trump and Musk fired at the FAA: - Lawyers who help keep drunk or reckless pilots out of the skies - Air traffic control support staff - Employees who track potential new flying hazards like cranes - Staffers who medically clear pilots to fly www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Question for mandarin speakers? If: 我有妹妹。Is "I have younger sisters." Then to specify having just one younger sister would it be: 我有一个妹妹。?
