hooooooooly shit dudes so we made the critical error of splitting the party (I KNOW, DON'T YELL AT ME) and it was a shitshow. one person died except someone had Revivify. everyone else has been up to 2 death saves MORE THAN ONCE APIECE. we FINALLY knocked one monster out after three hours

okay let's do a thread of FUN ONLY, no-stress, low-stakes New Year's Resolutions that are designed not to make you become a Better™️ Person™️ but purely to increase the amount of happiness in your life in 2026 I'm going to learn Polish folk embroidery and I want to DM at least a one-shot of something

I said chatgpt doesn't have a soul and got put on this list

Every time I read about what the set of Community was like, I find myself contrasting it to everything I've read about Mike Schur's sets, and his "No Assholes" policy. (Excerpt from www.thecrimson.com/article/2019... )

revisiting DS9 from start to finish in my 40s with Alice is so interesting because there are so many episodes I had forgotten about. we got a KILLER trio today: Dukat trying to do Bajoran Jonestown, “It’s Only a Paper Moon,” and Ezri finding out she comes from a mob family. s7 is full of bangers

I am still pretty damn proud of this the judging committee described me as a cultural force with a singular original voice who erases boundaries between genres and unites a sprawling range of interests and influences with a cohesive, exciting, progressive worldview, a high I’ll be riding into 2026

team “Twelve Small Goals For 2026 Instead of One Big One” unite!!!!

Die Hard is a diamond of a film. I couldn't write something that tight in a million years. It also would not occur to me to shoot air ducts and cubicle farms with anamorphic lenses like some kind of crazed lens-flare wizard, but that's why I'm not Jan de Bont

the mid-2000s just came SCREAMING back to me Life Teen survivors where u at

The last few days did not move the main story forward AT ALL. It's just a guy eating little treats and doing nothing. And so many plot holes. He says, "no more little treats," and then he's eating another little treat in literally the next scene.

Knives out: the upper middle class are squabbling vicious children who do not deserve their inheritance Glass onion: the new elite are the stupidest murderous cunts alive and deserve your scorn Wake up dead man: those preaching anger as salvation are leading you to death, hope and kindness matter

look, you can dance around it however you like, but at the end of the day if you even want to find a reason to use the machine that steals the work of your peers and poisons communities to run you are weak and will not survive the winter

I’ve been laughing about this for DAYS over on Instagram and I needed to bring to the ol’ bsky so we can laugh about it here

God I'm so hyped "Culinary Class Wars" is back, Mr. Paik my old buddy I have missed you

Also to be very clear, critique is still important! Changing, morphing, growing comes alongside making bad work. I think many also fear critique and need to embrace it. Listening to others and deciding what is a useful critique and what is not for you is a skill that will also change everything!

I'm always surprised when I tell stories of rejection as an artist, people often say "well that's never happened to me" or "that would kill me" and so on. Rejection happens! Whether you view art as just a job or a part of your being, you HAVE to learn how to accept your work not being liked

"Bad" art often comes with large breakthroughs (and bad as a concept is something is a whole other topic). If you try to only make art people will like you are probably flattening what you could make. If you never apply to anything for fear of rejection you automatically will never be considered

As we enter the New Year remember fear of making bad art is holding you back. Fear of people not liking your work is holding you back. Rejection is holding you back You'll make bad art, you'll have people not like your work, and you'll be rejected. Moving past it is half the job of being a creative

damn. I just searched and the piece I wrote for them years ago about domestic violence and Title IX is gone

My favorite thing about Frog and Toad is that it is the story of two men deeply and obviously in love with one another, drawn as a tribute to his lifelong partner by a gay man long before their relationship was socially sanctioned.

last night’s weirdest dream: my college housemate squad did an escape room together (we have never done this in real life) and afterwards I made everyone leave the company a good Yelp review and got really mad at Jesse because for some reason his was just a long string of fried shrimp emojis

LeMonde said, not on our watch

whatever 2026 holds i don't think anything next year will be funnier than Chicago Pope. 2025 was overall a huge stinker but Chicago Pope was an all time great B-plot

I will say I *loathe* this lumping of long-standing tools (text-to-speech, speech to text, spell checker, etc) with "it's all AI" like we are toddlers and can't understand the nuance of all this. For the rest, only a fool would use AI to read their publishing contracts.

he wanted to make sure he killed people

[screaming at the top of my lungs, once again] the fundamental technology of humanity is care

Lesbian figure skating “Heated Rivalry” set in the “Heated Rivalry” universe where one of them is on the Canadian national team with Shane in Sochi and they have to do a bunch of photo ops together as like the king & queen of the ice and then we cut from that coffee shop to her story like with Scott

Americans love telling stories about the moral injury of committing war crimes. This is not a new, important, unexplored line of inquiry - it’s the primary way we’ve managed to center ourselves in stories where we’re otherwise the villains.

What do you mean endometriosis behaves like a cancer (starves your organs and spreads) and is extremely painful and eventually leads to other complications that kills you and its also severely unstudied belittled underdiagnosed theres no cure forever not even for pain management

Dems should be running on this stuff, I truly believe that you could engage a lot of non-voters if you actually tackled real fucking problems

jeremy strong in the springsteen movie looks like they made an oscar bait minions adaptation

Look if you're going to wind ppl up about Prince you gotta be smart and use the "He was a Jehovah's Witness" angle and not something absolutely insane like "he was not good at music"

remember the other day when that post ostensibly by Cher in response to Karoline Leavett went viral, and all of us who are intimately familiar with the unique cadence of her tweets were like “lmao Cher did not write that” sentence case, without an emoji to be found?? that’s some ChatGPT shit

Your duty as an artist is nothing of the fucking sort.

People are so loud in hotel hallways, none of them have enough impulsive midwestern silence or ex catholic shame

“it is illegal for you not to like me”

White people continue to crash out. I hope that Rama Duwaji is having a good day.

With another influx of users, a nudge to remind people to use alt text

“A Biltmore Christmas” is still the best Hallmark Christmas movie of all time. leads with real chemistry, well-executed time travel, a gorgeous location, fabulous costumes, actors playing 1940s movie stars who really commit to the period cadence, and TWO Star Trek cameos. unparalleled

a perfect film

I was *just* talking about how much I like this movie.

I might need to frame this on my wall

wait I can't believe I forgot to tell you guys about the hilarious dream I had last night where Barack Obama decided to write a cozy murder mystery and gave me an advance copy to review it and give him feedback and I didn't know how to tell him it was really, really bad

I attended Whitman College in Walla Walla, Washington, and we did in fact receive our acceptance letters accompanied by a box of six Walla Walla sweet onions

I have often found, actually, that I can tell everything I need to know about whether or not a cis man is a real one by whether he maintains a juvenile mockery towards menstruation well into adulthood or whether he takes the many, many aspects of menstrual justice seriously

If their genius is not recognized after they come to the convention with their manuscript in hand, surely it must be because they are white and male. Couldn't be anything else. They will go and tell people this was their experience at the convention. They were excluded. Tale as old as time.

They have come to the convention hoping to "break in" and then find themselves -- shocker! -- a "nobody in the book world." Yeah no shit! We all are! I have gently told guys like this a million times that it takes most of us *years* of hard work but they do not believe that could be true for them. +
