Montague and Capulet boys stopped for gas. That was it. Benvolio goes off to the loo and in that time Peabrain here tries to scandalise some Ladies College girls only to "insult" the Capulet boys. Benvolio tries to deescalate, Tybalt goes all out Wild West, BAM gang war. Epic intro 😌 #filmsky

Friend: Btw have you been getting any writing done lately? Writer: 🫠 F: That bad? W: It's read-thrus & edits at the moment. F: But that's good, isn't it? W: Fiction kind of pales in comparison to this unhinged reality... F: But a little solace is probably welcome, no? W: Hopefully. #writing

Just heard someone yell [paraphrased]: "Believing doesn't mean sh*t! Satan believes in God and look how that panned out!" Lordt. #quote #writing

instead of asking Black people to stop being suspicious ... take seriously our suspicions Our suspicions are rooted in truth

Tape delay and the "world renowned" broadcasting corporation didn't even bother to mute a vicious racial slur? That is a deliberate choice. And they're acting like it's no big deal. Gross. #filmsky #writing

You know that second sense when you know someone did something malicious on purpose but you can't prove it? Worse, Certain People will 1000% jump thru hoops & hoolahoops to explain why "They didn't mean it that way" and "It was a terrible mistake" and other gaslighting olympics? Yeah... #writing

Niceness is like a candle. It provides a bit of light, but if you’re freezing, it’s not much help. Kindness is the warmth of a fireplace on a freezing cold night. Both are, well, nice… but one of them is necessary.

Spot-o-Music Monopoly: Discover something new! LIES. You're going to sneak AI into it! Spot-o-Music: New Music for you! Track 1: Heard it eleventy-seven times Track 2: Meh Track 3: That's kind o' neat Track 4: Suspicious Track 5: Remix Oh Lord it's the '90s all over again 😩 #music #writing

"Liberty, in case you forgot, is a soul's right to breathe." -- Will in Good Will Hunting Hits different now. #filmsky #throwback

Dangnammit. Now I have craving.

Meanwhile, whole generations want a taste of Crème de la Crème à la Edgar. With the biscuit, s'il vous plaît 🙂‍↔️

Hits Different Now, Part 4 So, we had The Honey Addict, Robért & Company, and Extracurricular Magic. Today, it's The Tiny Valiant vs. The Big Bad World because apparently the Mouse's algo thought I should see it. Oof. The opening visuals. The lyrics. Hits totally different now 😓 #filmsky #story

*reads story set before The Plague* The MC keeps on sprinkling pre-2020 Moral Certainties™ about the world, usually to give context and/or insight. It's kind of heartbreaking. That certainty of what is acceptable, that world where that was still possible: That's gone, babe, gone💔 #booksky #writing

9.7 on the Richter The sea rushes, retreats Crabshells bright, starfish exposed In the distance a line, sharp Drawing close And you're still on the beach asking, "Where'd the water go?" #booksky #writing

Person: So...How's The Book going? *seething silence* Person: Wrong question? Writer [gulps down Unhealthy Beverage]: You scrape together an ounce of energy to write. An ounce! and then, Boom. The Evil Among Us erupts anew. Person: Ah. Writer: Hell is not empty. Hell is here. #booksky #writing

Journal Entry 30 Jan 26 This month is hostile. It's the 467th of January and tomorrow is still January. Why. Desperate for good news otherwise, yet the Malignancy perdures. The Bubble hasn't burst either. Aramynthia is hopeful, though. Soon, she says. Soon. We had good fruit today: 8/10 #writing

📽🎬 Hits Different Now 🎬📽 We already considered "Mr. Rumbly-Tumbly & A Serious Case of Honey Addiction" (Part 1) and "Loverboy Robért & Sir Reginald vs. Sir Hiss & Prince Unhinged" (Part 2) Now to Part 3: "The Wart, The Prognosticator, and The Owl" #movies #writing

Thank you for this. This thread spells out what's been bothering me about that entire, um, production and the ensuing commentary on said production. #movies #writing

Trying to edit. Failing to write. The Horrors persist Surprise surprise Ugh, this again. NoAI #mood #writing

If Morgan Freeman is God, and a certain Prez "Super Jesus" (➡️Dylan Moran, What It Is) then Samuel L. Jackson is the Holy Ghost: Strikes down on you out of nowhere, seriously Fs you up until you're babbling, knows when enough is enough, and pivots to fighting genocidal supervillains 🙂‍↔️ #dailysnark

Robin Hood hits different now

The Pinterest takeover feels insidious. Like some creep sneaking into your underwear drawer. You tell your guardians about the wanker ruffling through your undies. They not only say, "You're paranoid. He's such a nice guy. So helpful!" They force you to keep your bedroom door open. #writing #NoAI

It's something else when someone you know well enjoyed your writing in the best way. *floats on a cloud of ✨️happy✨️* #writing #writerslife

Is there a word for that one sip of tea that was a little hotter than first expected? #writing

🧵 Every time you think he's done: Nope, there's more. Incredible.

Stumbled upon a young Anton Lesser (Partagaz in Andor) playing a Man of the Cloth. The cool, refined cadences, the institutional certainty, the boiling fanatism right underneath: It's all there, a skillset that made the Major's calm efficiency so believable. Excellent casting choice 10/10 #filmsky

Holy cow, London. That was amazing 👀 #2026

Happy New Year! 🥳

*2025 fishing for compliments* "You have insulted me in every possible method. I must beg to return to the house." *End of Year WTFs* "I have nothing farther to say, 2025. You know my sentiments." #NYE2025 #Austen #writing

Comment: Such a lovely series! No profanity, guns, or sexual content! The series: a murder myserty with a high body count *squints* So you're saying bodies dropping left and right is A-ok but if you see one nipple it's over? Wow. Ok. Talk about priorities. Phew. 👀 #dailysnark #writing

What day is it? Is it a day? Who are we. Am I hungry? What is time? *checks phone* You lie! #writing

Merry Christmas ❤️💚

"I'm rumbly in my tumbly. Time for something sweet." Words to live by from now until January. #Christmas

Scene Ms. Faerie's office, Harper speaking? This is Ms. Sugarplum Faerie's office, yes. CEO of CandyApple Industries? No, her great-granddaughter. The Party? Oh, Christmas! Oh no, not since the 1890s. That would be Claus House, North Pole 1, C-Day Devision. Certainly. You're very welcome. #writing

Still upset that "Five Gold Rings" are probably birds. Apparently, they're all birds. 12 days of birds. Birds, birds, birds! That man was out of his tree. #Christmas

People in The Past: The Future will be amazing! 🥳 The Future: War. Pestilence. Brain Rot. Planet-killing plagiarism machines. And fun little headlines: "Tired, Anxious & Depressed? Why That's Really Your Fault" "Wage-Slavery Is Good, Actually" "Can't Afford Lunch? Try Micro-Starving" 😒 #writing

Scratch strange: heartbreaking. #monday

Costume and set design are amazing: There's levers to pull, buttons to push, and actual machinery. Characters move in real sets and outdoor spaces. Then there's the costumes and materials 💯🥰 *meanwhile* Imperial Sociopaths: Committed to wrecking the Galaxy Such perfectly horrible peopl😒 #writing

*Inner Child reacting to Andor S2E1's first 12 minutes* WOW Ooooooooh! Teehee🤭 Oh no! STOP TOUCHING THINGS YES-NO-OUCH! EEEP! ERGH!😱 NOOOOOOOO ok. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!! POWER UP! POWER UP! POWER UP! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!! Pleasepleasepleaseplease YES!!🫠🥳 Wait, where's this? #writing

Sam Altman: hey I made a machine that stole literally all your stuff in order to make CSAM of your child actors, sometimes it encourages people to kill themselves Disney: Holy shit here's a billion dollars Altman: the machine loses more than that each week but thank you. Soon it will become god.

*checks calendar* It says December. It feels like Meh-Ugh-Why 😩😒 *Christmas decorations twinkle* Ok. *Home Alone streaming For You* I've seen it fiftyleven times. *tin of Christmas cookies* No. *Christmas Market mulled wine* Hm. Fine. Maybe one cup? *Cheese* Now we're talking. #Christmas

These Xmas ads are worse than weeds! Oh so you thought you finally set up a walled garden (digital space) with wonderful flowerbeds (genuine creativity)? WRONG! There it is, the dratted thing, hovering front and center, ruining all the visuals (ugh!) I now actively loathe the company. #writing

Still mad about the penguins

There's no way humans need that many sardines. Who is eating all these sardines? Can sardine-buying be tied to pinguin support? *looks at recent EU supply chain fight* Oh dear #nature

January: Well. How bad can it get? December: What the hell was that. #throwback

It's going to be a strange December, isn't it? #mood

It's a bit uncanny when an early 2000s TV show continually foreshadows the nonstop mess happening now IRL. Fictional court case after fictional court case showcases yet another awful root of these Terrible 20s. Are parts dated? Yes. But the questions the show asks are painfully prescient. #writing

1) Character A fights to be with Character B, who is scared of heartbreak 2) Character A convinces Character B to try it out. They have a relationship 3) Then: A realises OMG THIS IS REAL and scarpers. B is heartbroken Excuse me? And we're supposed to be fine with that? NAH. #writing #characters

Ok, so I stumbled upon Boston Legal because reasons, and oh my Lord, I totally forgot the unhinged cases they always had... *new in-scene insanity* Good God, it actually got worse! #filmsky #writing
