Sure, tariffs are gonna cause some short term pain, but remember over the long run they will also cause pain. And the medium run.

I was a latecomer to SMBC, which was awesome because there was a huge back catalog of strips I could binge on. And hey—at this point that trove is even bigger! Do yourself a favor and just read it from the beginning. www.smbc-comics.com/comic/2002-0...

Writing tip: just as exposition is carried by expository prose, remember that supposition should be conveyed by suppository prose.

Glass is a ghost-holder. Its fused silica, its sodium carbonate entangles past and future. An amorphous prison for shades out of time. Of all gateways that give glimpse onto the enfolding world of spirits, none is more common in our homes nor more particular in its peculiarities. – #CJosiffe

Just won at Scrabble even though the computer got two bingos. Two! Really needed a win. It felt nice.

Every writer knows how useful a little handwavium can be. Just remember to use it sparingly, because at critical mass it decays into halfassium.

I think the hoi-polloi treat it like air guitar. They get to *pretend* they're being creative. Then lots of them like to try to pass off that air guitar riff as something real, like it's something they actually did.

Nothing more frustrating in Scrabble than having all the letters for a cool bingo like HUNKIER but no place to play it. Except for when you play HUNKER instead and that sets up your opponent to do PREXY on a triple-word score!

I hear some #writers moan about how outlining saps all the surprise out of the work, and honestly, I don't see how. Maybe they're too good at it? runeskelley.com/skelleyverse...

This is your semi-regular reminder from your science fiction auntie that you're allowed to just put stuff in your art because you like it. I mean, you have to make it work once you do that. But you're totally allowed to work around stuff you like rather than stuff you think other people like.
