I am shocked—shocked!—to discover there is yaoi going on in this establishment!

Just signed up! I’ve been doing a habit pledge with gywo for the past two years (6 more days of writing to hit my goal this year!) and I cannot overstate how great it’s been for my productivity. Highly, highly recommended for anyone who needs a little gentle accountability!

Excited for this! @siren-events.bsky.social always puts together a fantastic set of people and I love hearing about the work everyone behind the scenes put in 🍊

“act your age, not your shoe size” joke’s on you they’re the same. EU 39.5

The Murderbot Humble Bundle is back!! An absolute steal. Come be unhinged about robots with me 🤖🦾

We’re in the darkest month of the year now, my loves, so snuggle up and be kind to yourselves. Here’s my favourite solstice song; the whole album is lovely, and highly recommended. m.youtube.com/watch?v=iOrn...

Guess I should dust off all of these old @netflix.com #SaveOFMD edits from last year.

a story is like a building. you have to keep working on it, making it taller; if you don’t, it’ll never be finished. you have to stop perfecting the foundations and start on the walls. of course the roof may still fall in later but that’s a different problem.

👀 👀 👀 GUESS 🤨 who just 🍽️🍽️🍽️ ATE a 🍊🍊🍊 clementine 🍊🍊🍊 and is NOT 🙅🏻‍♀️🙅🏻‍♀️🙅🏻‍♀️🚫🚫getting ⚠️ SCURVY ⚠️ (bad!!! 🤢) this year???? 💪 #clementine #myclementine #inacaverninacanyon #NOSCURVY2k26

Further to that last retweet—absolutely, one million percent, use your good ideas and you will find there are more underneath them. The perfect idea you’re saving for some nebulous right time that will never come is standing in the way of all the better ideas behind it.

It was Downey who coined the phrase in the LEVERAGE writers room “future episodes do not win out over present episodes”. Trust me, you’ll have more ideas. You’ll die full of them.

there is actually not a single job currently done by humans, no matter how "skilled" or "unskilled", that AI can adequately replace, which kinda makes burning down all those trees seem...not worth it

Just filled in my Secret Santa wishlist and included an “easy mode” option consisting of one (1) readily available item that costs exactly the amount agreed on. I think I should be sainted actually. Now I’m going to shake the rest of my family until they fill in their wishlists.

What they don't tell you about editing is how much time you'll spend looking at phrases like "stainless-steel balls" knowing it's grammatically correct and consistent with your other compound adjectives and still trying to find a good reason to format it as "stainless steel balls" instead.

I don't know what they put in the luminous orange "cheese" popcorn that completely breaks my resolve (it's definitely not cheese), but every time I finish a box I go "that was awful, I should stop buying this" and then three weeks later I'm at it again.

Can't believe flyting is making a comeback. I knew my undergrad Old Norse classes weren't a waste of time.

they haven’t even finished building the straw goat yet but I just really need it to burn this year

As we’re seeing more and more videos that are *completely* AI-generated, this is a great reminder that even videos with a real human in them usually don’t reflect reality. I always knew that, but I feel like I lost sight of it in the tidal wave of clips that are entirely fabricated.

Theatre, no question. Not only do you get to watch all the shows, but you also get to hear all the fun backstage gossip, and you could very easily get people to believe in you and develop little superstitions about acknowledging you because actors love that sort of thing.

friends fear she's listening to '39 by Queen on constant repeat again www.youtube.com/watch?v=kE8k...

THE ISLE IN THE SILVER SEA is out in the world. ⚔️🌊🔮

You have to be in it for the love of the game. You have to be obsessed. If you let a bot do your research for you, your bloodline is weak, your ancestors are ashamed, and you will not survive the winter.

why am i cursed to live in a city with great public transportation

tonight‘s mood: remembering how in 2014 a cute funny clever girl wrote me not one but two songs and I was so dickmatised by a fucking stage magician that I didn’t date her. bisexuality is a curse.

Me: I can watch the new Mae Martin show and be normal about it Me, ten minutes into Wayward: h o l y f u c k i n g s h i t. jesus christ. hhhhhhgggjnnnnfggfkl.

This is wonderful, actually. Being told you’re here for a reason and you’re important even if you don’t find it… I think a lot of people need to hear that right now. I did.

London pals, please respond <3

Just been going a bit insane about Drunk On All Your Strange New Words with a pal on discord so this is your semi-regular reminder that if you want a smart, fast sci-fi story with great characters, creative and believable worldbuilding, and a fantastic locked-room mystery, you should pick that up.

Something about AO3 being down is giving me the power to put my blorbos through the most inexcusable horrors. I am covering my head with a tablecloth to hide my sin knowing full well the tablecloth will be ripped away in about twelve hours to much joyous wailing from my fellow sickos.

Batten down the hatches, download some longfic, and be sure to comment on any fics you have finished but still open in a tab because “you’ll get to it” before you try to do it during the downtime and they turn into error pages and you accidentally close them.

I was having such a rough mental health day this morning that I didn’t want anyone to perceive me, but then I went out and had fun so now you all have to look at me because it’s bisexual visibility day and I am very, VERY bisexual 💖💜💙

May have mansplained ABBA to a Swede tonight, nobody look at me 🫣

Best most beautiful softest cutest most spoiled senior princess babycat in the whole wide entire world 🥰🥰🥰

*scrolling through vinted with hate in my heart* none of you people know the difference between silk and satin

Watching TOS for the first time and you know what. i think those housewives in the sixties were onto something.

I’ve been really enjoying the new @thebeths.bsky.social album the past few days 🥰 Highly recommended—they’re the coolest band I like at the moment, with gorgeous vocals and a grungy edge to the music. Coincidentally, it’s Bandcamp Friday.… thebethsnz.bandcamp.com/album/straig...

Signal boost for my author pals!

The topic of bad exes came up at the bar last night and look. I am not someone who habitually googles past partners. But there is no schadenfreude like knowing that the particular douchecanoe who treated me worst has been unsuccessfully trying to make it as a stage magician for the past decade 🪄✨

About to rock up to my sci-fi book club in a space-print dress with astronaut earrings literally no-one has ever been cooler than me 🪐

Worst millennial feeling is when you have more avocado than fits on your toast but not enough to only use half the avocado. Like great I could have bought an extra bedroom in my imaginary house with that. thanks obama.

EXT: The Revenge, wreathed in mist Pete VO: They say the night belongs to lovers, but that's just half the story. It also belongs to secrets, lies, & crimes against citrus. As the right hand man of Blackbeard, or left, depending on which way you're facing, I knew it was my job to restore order
