I now also desperately want this, but also, I want a series about high stakes podracing. Like full Drive to Survive F1 style, but about Podracing. Title: "Now *this* is Podracing".

Feeling well enough to be upright, so watching the 4k remaster of The Dark Crystal under a blanket. It is unbelievably pretty.

I love d&d so much. From enormous angst about being one of the people who has to save the world, to one of your party members being attacked by an irate pigeon in 5 minutes 🤣

You do not need to stop to reassess your purpose or intention to write. This is creative writing. It's like having high functioning anxiety except you're writing it down and calling it a book. Give in to the spiral.

Seriously if your alt text says "read the image" you deserve a punch in the babymaker parts. THE POINT IS, YOU MISSHAPEN DILDOS, TO INTERPRET THE IMAGE. FOR PEOPLE. WITH VISUAL IMPAIRMENTS.

Musical musings: "Too Sweet" by Hozier and "Dream Girl Evil" by Florence + The Machine are about the same thing (putting women on pedestals so you can absolve yourself of your feelings about her) from two different perspectives.

It's 2025, what do you mean people still think that bisexuals don't date trans people and if they do then that makes them pansexual??? Not only is that biphobic, it's also transphobic. Authors should know better than to write such shit

"Please can you email me I can't read printed letters". It's a simple request but it seems an impossible task for many businesses. This is why I'm so proud to share a new resource designed to reduce barriers & exclusions faced by disabled customers. Our guide linked here mailchi.mp/moneyadvicet...

Fuck off Microsoft. I don't need you to change the language in my emails to "make it more concise". I am verbose. My words sound like me. I don't want to sound like a corporate robot!

I am wearing a lot of orange today, and was accosted by a member of a stag party dressed all in neon orange who was like "the rest of the stag said I had to talk to you because we match, and they want me to flirt with you, but it's really early, so can you just wave at them?" Bizarrely wholesome

Vehemently opposed to people who change lyrics in cover versions of songs. You cannot change "You ain't a beauty, but hey, you're alright", to "You ain't a beauty, hey, alright". It changes the song!
