Testing out the crochet feed while also sharing another silly little guy. 🧶 It's a baked potato. Haha! Get it?! BAKED potato? 😙💨🌿 Anyway, his name is Spud. Please be kind to Spud. He's chill af. 🥔 🥔

Came across a Christian “publisher” that is l just a vanity press. Reminder for the writer peeps: the publisher pays you. Not the other way around. They pay out an advance, and if your book earns out, you get royalties. A real publisher will not ask you to pay a fee or buy a marketing package.

Hot take: the crust is the best part of the pizza.

I need to stop getting viscerally angry over incorrect autocorrect. No, I do NOT want to change “curliness” to “cut lines.”

If you write fantasy, I made a lil’ list of fantasy story plots (that are not quests!) and some various ways you could approach those kinds of plots. It was fun. I had fun. Hope it helps you get yer brain meat nice and tender. theangrynoodle.com/8-fantasy-st...

I got scammed for a fake artwork four years ago and now they're trying to claim I owe them more money. FOUR YEARS! I am embarrassed of my four-years-ago self.

I have legitimately reached the point where I’ll sometimes put an em dash and then look at it and think, “Huh, someone might think this is written by AI” and swiftly stick a comma in there or some shit instead. There is nothing sacred anymore.

As we’ve entered tax season again, remember friendos, that TurboTax lobbies congress to prevent a system that would make filing taxes super simple and straightforward, just so that you have to pay them to do that instead. They create the problem they exist to solve, yayyyyy!!! 💃🏾 💃🏾💃🏾

Another disturbing thing about the Epstein files is that, if no one does anything about it, it signals to those involved that there’s nothing and no one who will hold them accountable. If pedophilia, murder, and blatantly plotting to dismantle the country aren’t deal breakers, nothing is.

Ahhh, the death of remote work is a tragedy. I’m in Atlanta, and my field is very much NOT here. Oh, golly gee, wish there was some way I could get my job done from a separate location! 🤪

This kind of smart, walkable, mixed-use urbanism is illegal to build in most American cities.

They can pull my ID out my ass, fuck you.

Bezos fired the foreign correspondents without even giving them a plane ticket home. They should be able to sue his ass for everything. In the meantime give to their fund here.

I feel guilty doing things I enjoy that I’m not monetizing. Everything that’s fun feels unproductive and irresponsible. I wanna write, but I won’t even try to put it out there. I like video games, but I don’t want to stream anymore. I like crocheting but I don’t want to sell the stuff I make.

How do white people delude themselves into believing that they can identify anti-Black racism better than a Black person? Enough to refute the validity of a Black person’s claim of anti-Black racism??? Like…how does one get to that level of ability to lie to themselves?

I could be reading more books if I just sat down and read instead of insisting on taking notes on every little thing. Now I don't read. Because I want to read. But I don't want to take notes. But I can't read if I don't take notes.

Shout out to everybody who really doesn’t have a clue how they’re gonna keep on keeping on. It’s some cool folks in this club. We just gotta make it one day at a time, one foot in front of the other.

You keep “that’s not deep”ing sensible people who see the writing on the wall, next thing you know it becomes acceptable to post AI videos of Black people as monkeys. As president of the United States.

Guys I have to crochet a happy little waffle guy by my brother’s birthday in less than two weeks. Can I do it? We shall see. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ We’re both grown adults, btw.

One thing the right is really good at is demonizing or making a mockery of terms, phrases, and topics that could actually bring about nuanced discussion if taken seriously. “Patriarchy,” “feminism,” “woke,” “socialism,” “communism,” “DEI,” critical race theory,” etc.

Movie soundtracks have no right going as hard as they do. I Lied to You and Pale, Pale Moon from Sinners. Mount Rageous from Trolls 3 Your Idol from KPop Demon Hunters.

I love rediscovering a song I loved, overplayed, got tired of, and stopped listening to years ago and falling in love with it all over again.

So, my little puppo knows how to get OFF the bed, but he’s never able to get ON it. I finally caved and bought him some little stairs. TELL ME WHY this little man jumped onto the bed BY HIMSELF right when I set the stairs down.

(1/2) Let's talk about a lack of journalistic integrity, shall we? What this article spins is that it claims Mamdani has stopped police from breaking down encampments out of "respect for autonomy," when they could be directed to shelters. Fact check: NYC has 20% MORE homeless than shelter capacity.

Please help Mahmoud's family survive Israel's genocide, which has left them sick, starving, & homeless in winter. Mahmoud is caring for his sister's orphaned children:

You know, the thing about powerful people getting away with anything they want to do, no matter how vile, for generations is that they don't even try to protect themselves because they assume being part of the rich and powerful network will protect them. And it does, until all of a sudden it breaks.

I haven't edited in a hot minute. Not gonna lie, forgot how fun it was.

I think I'd be a decent debater if I didn't cry at the slightest bit of conflict. The right doesn't cry. They don't have feelings. Once you cry in a debate, that's a loss.

artists on bsky, don't be afraid to repost your art. there is no shame in it. if you feel shameful for it, that's either learned behavior or secret fake rules you made for yourself. repost it several times a day, for several days. then again a month later. people aren't gonna see it otherwise.

It kind of ties into conservatives and their war on empathy. They're really out here writing books about how empathy is a bad thing or a "new age trend that's actually really harmful." People like this frown on compassion and tolerance. It's why they mock the "tolerant left."

Learning what sealioning is has saved me so much time and energy. If they’re being willfully obtuse, repeating the same thing over and over even after you addressed it, moving the goalpost, etc, don’t waste your time. You’ll never change their mind, and they’re dumb, so they’ll never change yours.

Please help Ahmad's family survive Israel's genocide in Gaza, which has left them homeless & starving in winter under renewed bombing. His mother urgently needs treatment for retinal disease, & is losing her eyesight. Bluesky's deletions have driven him to despair:

Bro I didn’t expect so many people to be salty at me when I posted that I didn’t like story-driven games. One dude called me a psychopath. Gamers are not beating the allegations.

A lot of outlets can’t help but find any way humanly possible to shit on Sinners and questions its quality and reception even though it was an incredible and very profitable film. Gee, I wonder why. 😒

A few weeks ago I lost 6,000 words that I wrote. Poof, gone. Deleted. Couldn’t restore it. I may or may not have had a manic episode full of rage and despair and had to up my medication. ANYWAY. I rewrote it. Today I just hit 40,000 words! Recovery. 👉🏾😎👉🏾

We’ve been deluded into thinking that billionaires are the best of us. Smartest,, hardest working, most creative. But they just have the resources to capitalize on the people who ARE hard working, intelligent, and creative. They’re parasites who have convinced us all that they’re our lifeblood.

The goal of fascism within a liberal state is it ultimately will violently reestablish a status quo of power. It will eventually fail, and in its wake, liberals will step in and claim “we beat facism, all is better now” while inheriting and sustaining this new status quo of social hierarchy.

Six hours getting my hair done and I didn’t like how it turned out. 🙁

I'm crocheting a lil' banana guy with thicc cheeks for my sister's birthday. It's the little things, you know? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Billionaires are really good at ruining everything. This includes social media because the last thing they want is for people to connect and be informed. Unless it's brainrot, it's not acceptable. So, like Twitter, they're ruining TikTok. Not being particularly subtle about it, either.

I need everyone to please understand that the only thing the United States has ever been exceptional at is causing death and suffering for profit and generating massive value for a few lucky rich people.

Get angry because someone like you was murdered by the state. Stay angry because the state murders people who aren't like you every day.

“Am I free to leave” Yes? Leave. No? Shut the fuck up. Your only response is “I’m invoking my right to a lawyer. I will not answer any questions without my lawyer present.” And then you DON’T SPEAK ANOTHER WORD. They ask you what you had for lunch? Silence or “I want a lawyer present.”

"If Walz fights this, Trump will invoke the Insurrection Act/send in the Marines!" And then they'll start shooting people. You know, like what's happening now. If you can't fight back against fascists because fascism will happen, the battle is already over and you lost.

We have been told for nearly 30 years that America needed to tolerate mass shootings because the broad availability of guns would help us defend ourselves from an overreaching federal government. That day has come. The people who said this are supporting the federal agents. Many have joined them.

I’m tired of Democrats finger wagging and tweeting about how upset they are and how much “things need to change” without doing a damn thing. They’re controlled opposition and utterly useless. Have they ever been useful? Ever held the held? Or have they always had floppy little jelly spines?

Super revealing that the response from local police is to plead for safety on behalf of the property.
