I want to leave you with this, from @mostlybree.kitrocha.com:

I have a lot of thoughts about the "I can generate 200 books a year you can only do 2 at most if you actually write the things, I win" bullshit, and no time to yell about all of it. So I'll just say this:

really like her!

I know Ricky Martin was there because he's a Puerto Rican icon, but I really appreciated that Bad Bunny made a pointed choice to give a gay man a moment in the spotlight in his vision of America

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

English speakers like "that was less political than I thought" lol they had ricky martin singing "dont do us like you did hawaii"

Or I guess not watching the Super Bowl because Crave decided it just wasn't gonna work? Olympics it is!

i just saw that quote by someone high up in the USA administration saying that if the Epstein Files were prosecuted the whole system would collapse and yeah grace is like "I have to fix this without anyone finding out because if they do, it will wreck the whole country" at the beginning of her arc

Party warrior just came out as half-fungril in tonight's Daggerheart game, and the party rallied around him like he was Will in the Stranger Things finale.

This always makes me sad, because I a) have friends in game writing AND TV/movie writing, b) have absolutely seen snobbish attitudes toward game writing from TV folks, and c) also had TV writers and novelists try to use me as a way to slum into games for what they thought would be an easy check.

“our stories are good enough for TV but the writers aren’t?” 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

The IOC, pushing their way through 23,000 flags in the giant sporting event used to show the athletic prowess of empires for more than a century while screens show the number of medals per country: Hey, no politics.

First Game Night of the year for the local Daggerheart game I run. Am bringing some Gamer Food.

The lesson I am taking from the Epstein files is that if you have a mutually supportive network of a certain size and power, you can indeed affect the culture at large. Imagine if some folks who weren't among the worst that humanity has to offer did something similar?

Canadians, apparently: You know what would help me appreciate these Olympic opening ceremonies more? If an ad for the Super Mario Galaxy movie played over them every few minutes.

Oh the fucking WHEEZE of a laugh I let out at everything about this. The alt text is chef’s kiss.

Have announced to the family my tentative plan to try to make lasagna again this weekend. Will see how it goes this time. Trying a different recipe, though.

Discworld QOTD, from Small Gods “It's hard to explain," said Brutha. "But I think it's got something to do with how people should behave... you should do things because they're right. Not because gods say so. They might say something different another time.”

Me: How does this work. I hate this. Why can't I just write words. I am in no way a programmer. Please somebody make this thing function for me. Me after unchecking one box in the Properties field: Lo, I am King of Programmers, a savant whose very thoughts are made manifest in an age of wonders.

One of the reasons I so greatly dislike the “can men and women be friends?” nonsense (yes, full stop, shut up) is that it casts suspicion on people with opposite-sex friends instead of where it more often belongs: on people with no opposite-sex friends.

Jessie Diggins, Olympic cross-country skiing gold medalist, from the Twin Cities: “I want to make sure you know who I’m racing for…”

I vote absentee from where we lived in California before moving to Canada, and I'm so proud that this is my rep!

Cooking Bloggers: And here is a work of art, as healthy as it is delicious. Me for my family: I have once again combined potatoes, cheese, onion, and spices into something that looks like a Photoshop cloud filter effect of yellow and brown but will make you see God when you taste it.

In 2020 @totallydonna.kitrocha.com & I started a trilogy about 3 book nerds (w/ superpowers) who just want to build a library for their community but shitty tech bros suck so they have to keep doing crimes. Tor was kind enough to put book one on sale for $5.99! www.kitrocha.com/book/deal-wi...

My sapphic romance Departure from the Script is on sale everywhere at 60% off for a few days only! jae-fiction.com/departure-fr... After an anti-Valentine’s Day party, actress Amanda wakes up in Michelle’s bed, with no memory of how she got there. But Michelle isn’t even her type…or is she?

I will also recommend ice dancing, which is an incredible spectacle and has the added bonus of being able to yell "come ON what do you MEAN they AREN'T FUCKING" at the television (shoutout Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir)

Here is what we are seeing: that every time we have a need, people are leaping to volunteer. To volunteer for admin work. To volunteer to help us get filament. To volunteer to help us pay postage so we can keep sending ABSOLUTELY FREE whistles to anyone who needs them to keep their community safe.

I don't care what's in your heart if there's a whip in your hand.

These guys two months ago: ha ha I hope there's a civil war we'll make those LIBERAL BITCHES cry for mercy These guys now: waaaaaa they're using whistles it's not FAIR waaaaa (You can get free community safety whistles, quantity 100 to 1000, from here: linktr.ee/3Dwhistles )

The Mercenary Librarians books are GREAT for the dystopian times we live in and also Book 1 has the bionic fingerbanging in a thunderstorm scene

Dem leadership: changing this is a difficult process, you fool. You rube. You utter infant. Give us between $5 and $50 Mamdani, wiping grease off his hands: So it turns out there's a switch on this machine that puts it into either orphan-shredding mode or free school lunch mode. Just had to flip it

The phrase "professional activist" is functionally meaningless. It's a term that politicians and corporate targets have used for generations to discredit anyone who's effectively challenged them. Anyone who deploys it in earnest to discredit deeply committed people is broadcasting their ignorance.

Edmonton! On Feb 14, support our trans community-especially our trans youth-and put positive energy back into our city at this year’s Sing With Love, a collaboration from Edmonton’s choral community. Proceeds support the Fyrefly Institute for Gender & Sexual Diversity simpli.events/e/sing-with-...

If anyone says Lupita Nyong’o is miscast as the most beautiful woman in the world, you know you can safely discard any further opinions from that person

So I was 5 years old when US women could open bank accounts without male approval, and in my early 20’s when marital rape was outlawed.

TENURED YALE PROFESSOR IN AN OP-ED: In our society we have too often accepted the heckler’s veto, allowing the perfect to be the enemy of the good and making the refusal to forgive our highest virtue TENURED YALE PROFESSOR IN AN EMAIL: hii jfefrey Can I come to rape party w/a plusone this weekend

Bree, I only wanna Killjoy with you (iykyk) (and also with everybody in the chats and in the whistle witch army and every single other person who has channeled being an obsessive weirdo into doing good for the world) 💚🌸🔥🙌🏻

Hi everyone, one of our whistle producers is down to a roll or two of filament. If you have the capacity, would you mind helping them out so they can keep printing whistles? Thank you all!

not one cent for any of them, ever again. wipe it away and start over.

My Partner: OMG, Connor Storrie is going to be on Saturday Night Live! Me: Which one is he again, Reilly or Jonesy?

Has it been only 4 months since @lezbinerdy.bsky.social made me do a "Romance Author Reacts To The Infamous Horny Star Trek Ep" video?!? www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCT2...

And we're live! Here's our one-off eerie audio drama titled "Kinbasket." (With fantastic cover art by Sarah-that's a real life painting!) Here's a youtube link, apple podcast in the next post. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jn3Z...

This monologue is an all timer. Rest in peace, legend. youtu.be/2WkWoMcghhE?...

New dating profile just dropped.

Will SOMEONE in this godforsaken Congress actually take their oath to protect and defend the United States constitution with the same degree of seriousness as every person in Minneapolis?

Happy Threshold day to all who celebrate 🦎🖖🏽❤️ #startrek

Check out this trailer for the eerie one-shot podcast episode I got to write! It comes out in a few days. I'm excited. It's set in the same world as Concierge: Postmortem, but you can listen to this one on its own, we give you a bit of grounding text at the start. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vh8w...
