I’m tired of being told I’m misremembering. Of arguing with people who refuse to participate in reality. Of watching consequences applying to mistakes, but never corruption. Of feeling sick at the thought of ever going back to the lab b/c people hate us for trying to help them. I’m just so tired.

Spent some of my Christmas money on the KatVR set-up with all the bells and whistles. If this can’t get me to work out, nothing will.

Hardcore MAGA family member bought @timothysnyder.bsky.social’s “On Tyranny” as a Christmas present for their equally MAGA spouse. I am WHEEZING. I don’t think that book is what she thinks it’s about. If this is what finally wakes them up, I’m going to send Snyder a fruit basket or something. 🤣

If you see this, re-post with your model of positive masculinity.

I’m surprised that people are shocked that Noam Chomsky is a piece of shit, considering his long, storied history of being a massive tankie.

I don’t mind ✝️s coming into Hellenist spaces with genuinely open 💕 and 🧠 and a curiosity about our beliefs. But we can tell when you’re “asking questions” in bad faith, and I promise you, you *don’t* want to start hyping blind faith to people who believe that even our gods are wrong sometimes.

I’ve been trying for like three days to play one of the side missions in Hitman where one of the special conditions is “don’t get caught,” and I now know how Markiplier felt in his “Getting Over It” videos.

Stayed up way too late last night making notes for a potential Unholy Trinity prequel from Michael’s point of view…and I don’t even know if I can bring myself to write it because it’s a big risk, characterization-wise. Can my brain at least chill until we sort things out with the first book?

Foaming at the mouth to see what Monica Lewinsky has to say about the headlines this morning…

My 14 year old niece won first place in a short story contest over the weekend (beating out six adults!) and I am simultaneously so stinkin’ proud of her, and really salty that her literary career is officially more successful than mine. 🫣🥹

“For the interests of rulers require that their subjects should be poor in spirit, and that there should be no strong bond of friendship or society among them, which love, above all other motives, is likely to inspire, as our Athenian tyrants learned by experience.” (Symposium, Socratic Dialogues)

Weird how it’s always the people who already get my hackles up who end up telling me I shouldn’t trust my intuition about people. 🙃

Gods, seeing that Berlin and Athens, my two favorite cities on the planet, were marching in solidarity with the American resistance yesterday, is making me tear up in the best way. 🇩🇪🩷🇬🇷

I have a joke about chemistry, but I table it periodically.

Mostly walking, under the cover of night because they’re trying to flee the country without getting caught by the militia. But there’s also two helicopter rides, so that’s fun. 🚁

Aaaaah I just got an agent like from DVpit! 🤩🫠

All these tantrums about a half-time act that sings in Spanish…I think it’s an excellent time to resurrect the “that’s so sad, Alexa, play ‘Despacito’” meme.

Sophie just wanted to keep to herself, worship Socrates, crush on her ethics professor, and get out of grad school with her sanity intact. So why is she testifying at The Hague about being tricked into aiding and abetting crimes against humanity? #DVpit #A #SpF #LF #LGBT #MH #ND #OwnVoices

Not impressed with what I’ve seen of the new #CallofDuty from the beta. If I wanted futuristic shit, I’d go replay Infinite Warfare. The whole draw of Black Ops is Woods/Mason/Adler’s generation. The Cold War intrigue. If there’s flashback missions in the campaign, I might get it, but otherwise? Ew.

#DVparty, day 5: my novel as a playlist

#DVparty, day 4: “Unholy Trinity” summarized in four memes:

#DVparty, Day 3–opening lines: “Being a grad student is a lot like I imagine Sisyphus must have felt—except in this version of the myth, the gods still expect you to calculate the Newtons of force with which you are being crushed.”

Introducing Sophie D’Angelo through the eyes of others for #DVparty, Day 2:

Moodboard for my literary spec-fic novel that I swear I had the original idea for back in high school (but because of current events, nobody ever believes me). #DVparty

I will say, the awkward, stonefaced silence that both Dear Leader and SecDef clearly were not expecting from the generals but had to suffer through anyway is incredibly humiliating for them, satisfying for me, and a somewhat positive sign for the future.

It is Stanislav Petrov Day and it's important to remember that his initiative in not following orders largely ended his career. Authoritarian regimes do not like independent decision making, especially if it makes the upper-ups look bad.

The Devil's Arithmetic is literally about how awful the Holocaust was. What pisses me off is, I can't even tell if they're objecting to anti-Nazism or the word "Devil" in the title. That's where we're at, I can't even tell what flavor of stupid we're dealing with.

I feel like it would solve a lot of this country's problems if a potential political candidate was required to take (and PASS!) the citizenship exam to register. Can we please try it my way? Because nothing else is working.

Not sure why participating in a pitch event yesterday gained me multiple follows from mindfulness/wellness accounts. I'm a novelist. Do you understand this? That means I am *not* mentally well and I am attempting to monetize my escapism because antidepressants aren't cheap. 🫠

UNHOLY TRINITY is what would happen if George Orwell and Margaret Atwood tripped on MK-ULTRA drugs together, watched "Real Genius" and "The Last Castle," got the plots mixed up, and then wrote dystopian AU fanfic about it. #UnhingedPit #A #SpF #Q (Now w/ 500% more Tumblresque character moodboards)

#unhingedpit #YA #SF #Q A canva flyer? Our hope to finding the cure to a fatal neurotoxin lies within the people who push out updates like this?! Be for real.

Alright everyone, it's official. The NEXT #UnhingedPit event will be tomorrow, Sept. 23rd, from 8am-8pm in your time zone. Let the scramble to pull together an unhinged pitch begin. See you tomorrow!! #WritingCommunity

This is where we’re at in real life right now. In America. In 2025. My heart is destroyed.

"There are no easy answers, no clear solutions. There’s only what each of us is willing to do." -Robert Redford

live your life so that when you die everyone talks about how hot you were and not how you were a hateful bigot

If you see this, quote with the energy you bring to Bluesky

my favorite robert redford story is that mike nichols considered him for dustin hoffman's part in THE GRADUATE. during their conversation nichols asked redford something like, "have you ever struck out with a girl?" and redford's response was basically, "i don't understand the question"

Not a doubt in my mind that he's already in Elysium, hanging out with Thalia and Melpomene. If ever a mortal deserved to be in the Isle of the Blessed, it was Robert Redford. An amazing actor, and by all accounts, one of the few true gentlemen to ever walk among us.

How’s everybody else’s day going? Because I just had to run quality control on someone’s vore fetish YouTube search during work today.

Hey, screenwriters of Bluesky, can someone please make a biopic about Brian Driscoll? Because literally every single thing I learn about this man makes him cooler.
