Ask and you shall receive

This year produced the single largest mass mobilizations in the country's history. Its entire history. I think that there are people who would say that this isn't true EVEN AS THEY ARE LIVING THROUGH THOSE MOBILIZATIONS. It's something to see.

"feel the wrath of the goddess"

Every so often I'm like "I'm gonna become insufferable about my OCs" and then I inevitably chicken out. But this year it wasn't cowardice, it was the depression, but next year I'm going to defeat both 😤

in every universe and every lifetime, i will find you and i will annoy you #🧃🩸

Purchase Blood Price!! It's wintry!! It's bloody!! It's not pricy!!

The Animal "KingdomS" typo hurts me, less because of my Disney Adult coming through, and more because I used to work there and I don't wanna disrespect my old home*

I have no opinion on the cultural impact or lack-there-of of Avatar other than the Flights of Whatever ride at Animal Kingdoms programed your bike-like seat to simulate breathing so it enhances the believability that you're actually on a banshee and I pack-bonded with my chair

Have I finished my manuscript? No Am I looking forward to and daydreaming about non-writing related published author activities? Yes. Yes I am

Taz Skyler increases his thirst trap TikToks around One Piece announcements and I have to say that's genius marketing

Yep. Also, increasingly desperate shouting that GenAI "won't go away" shows how nervous the shills are that it will. None of this is inevitable.

Mandy.com emailed me about a job posting to work on an AI tv show... et tu, Mandy???? Et tu????

"please welcome the voices of huntrix" no they're just huntrix now. they're huntrix and they fight demons

I love Christmas, the international day of appreciation of hot old men

Merry Christmas!! I wish you all the best, and a wonderful season of warmth and love ❤️

Am I watching A Christmas Story or am I playing a backing track to me reciting A Christmas Story

It's almost 2am and Logan has the zoomies. I'm far too old and tired for this

One of my favorite Solas-Cole banters is when they're subtly talking about It's A Wonderful Life, and Solas adheres to the theory that George actually kills himself and the angel is soothing himself as he dies, because, like, lighten up my guy. Solas is the Worst person to watch movies with

3 minutes!!

Jingle All the Way gave me a similar low-grade trauma to the Rock Bottom episode of Spongebob, which is why I start holiday shopping in October

in the song "I'm Giving Santa a Pikachu for Christmas" professor oak sings "he'll find it rather shocking" and then ash laughs. they're both used to being shocked by pikachu. but santa isn't from their world. he can't just tank a thunderbolt like it's nothing. he's gonna die.

Please watch this movie!! It's an experience

sorry i do b*ch about ai and tech CEOs a LOT and its maybe a bit too bleak for some but genuinely I don't think those people will ever "win" in a way that matters, their lives/stations in life are fundamentally joyless and untenable

For years, people have wondered why Andy Williams's description of Christmas includes "scary ghost stories." The answer: Andy Williams is cool

all I want for christmas is mew! 🎁 #pokemon #art

Happy Holidays everyone!!! I was so looking forward to my first Christmas in Sweden (which is celebrated today, on the 24th the way people celebrate New Years on the ever before) but I came down with a really bad flu or maybe even Covid, so now I'm just chilling at home haha

Woke up with renewed vigor to create and write. It's a Christmas miracle

2026 mood

500 words written!! One present wrapped!! 7 gift cards labeled!!

If I were more well-rested, I'd have realized "good night's sleep" fit the meter perfectly the first time but alas

Me, really tired: JFK has an article of impeachment against him My mom, also really tired and thinking I'm talking about JKR: JFK?!

In a weird plot twist, I write more and quicker if I use my phone than if I sit at my laptop. I think it's because I'm so used to yapping through text that it allows me to type unfiltered

#meetthewebcomic This holiday season, sink your fangs into Carotid! When one of the oldest (and crankiest) vampires in NYC gets attacked by something older and scarier than him, his brother hires the most annoying witch in the city to protect him. Read for free here: patreon.com/carotidcomic

This is probably NOT unrelated to the fact that when you read any books about the industry in the 90s, the top executives are a lot of the same names still in power today. That didn’t used to happen

One of the most dangerous persistent myths is that planes are safe due to ventilation. In reality ventilation is only on part of the time, and there is bad ventilation before and after take off. And viruses can still spread easily in crowds over short distances regardless of ventilation status.

Shocking everyone, Tchaikovsky wheels in the cannons...

There are many people who simply do not understand the stakes and either understate or overstate them. The issue is not that AI will replace writers or w/e: it can't. The issue is that AI will make our working conditions significantly worse and harm the development of new artists in our fields.

Translators, illustrators, researchers and editors all do creative, human work that is important and cannot be reproduced in part or in whole by AI any more than writers. Their interests are our interests. To legitimize the use of AI to replace them is a failure of principle as much as strategy.

There is no ethical use of AI because the continued existence of the AI industry is directly harmful to (alongside everyone else) the interests of everyone whose labour makes books exist—writers of fiction & nonfiction, illustrators, translators, researchers, editors, everyone.

Flashback to the time I wrote "She sighed and exhaled" 🙃

I gotta start posting about my OCs because I can't keep having inside jokes with myself that I can't talk to anyone about

Also, tropes are present in every story! And they’re not inherently bad! Saying “well, that’s a trope” is like looking at a newspaper and saying “That’s an adverb.” It’s an observation- not proof of malfeasance. Often a good story EMBRACES tropes, even

Apparently I ordered a talking Tiny Chef. I do not remember this

It happened again because I am a dolt

I am SO PROUD of the organizers at Production Assistants United. People have been saying that unionizing PAs in Hollywood is impossible for DECADES. They are proving them wrong! Incredible. www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus...

The swiffer power mop is my new favorite thing we own because I'm now a boring adult
