just so deeply devastated by the immense weight collapse is placing upon every one of our shoulders

always so funny to me when people are like “how am I supposed to explain Gay to my kids?” my kid asks me way harder shit all the time. “why did they build the road this way? why are some people bad?” I don’t know. please ask me about Gay

Can’t stop thinking about a threesome with Jack Aubrey, Stephen Maturin, and Diana Villiers. This fic will get there. archiveofourown.org/works/870637...

"Have you ever heard of the Trolley Problem?" I reviewed the barn-burner first season of WIDOW'S BAY, which I think it's safe at this point to say has redefined what horror comedy can be. www.patreon.com/scumbelievab...

Can’t stop thinking about Jack Aubrey saying “my dear doctor” so I wrote some smut about it. archiveofourown.org/works/86450516

It’s vampire time!!!

i still mask in public indoor spaces, but knowin how relatively low transmission is has meant i dont have to use heavier duty masks that hurt my face more, nor do i have the same like…underlying low hum of stress that comes with the upward slopes & peaks. could but better but damn, could be worse fr

You know who isn't getting radicalized? Guys who do ships in a bottle. Embrace model-building and avoid the pitfalls of right-wing extremism

Hilarious and deeply insightful writing by @brianphillips.lol.

Happy pride everyone 🌈✨🖖🥰

I really didn’t think that Jack Aubrey and Stephen Maturin would grab me like this but here I am, about to start a 20 book long series so that I can just roll around in these two and their dynamic like a dog in the grass.

Thread with a couple short scenes from a lesbian vampire story that I have kickin' around in the back of my head! This may be all that ever comes of it, but I still like em :] 1/4

the thing about TNG is I lowkey ship Riker with everyone except Picard, so in that respect it is spiritually the inverse of TOS where it’s almost impossible to ship the first officer with anyone OTHER than the captain

Masks are an extremely cheap & relatively efficient way to prevent all kinds of airborne illnesses getting into your own body. They don't harm surrounding people, they are easy to carry, can't be used in any devious way, yet that MD seems bothered by this completely innocuous things. I miss adults.

Over 50 years later, this anti-Vietnam War PSA still rings true.

More people hate and resent kids in this country than you can imagine. Dogs have more rights and privileges than children. Kids are people. I could keep going. Parenting, pregnancy, and doing both during the selfishness of the pandemic radicalized me.

Kids need to be allowed to fail, make mistakes, get hurt, be bored, and be scared. If they don’t learn how to handle that stuff in childhood they’ll be miserable their entire lives.

It is weird to hear “shots fired at the White House” and just feel kinda tired about it, right?

Only if we show up and support them and their work—they are not our heroes or saviors. They are humans.

life is at least a little beautiful idk

but why would i want to watch a video of someone reading something aloud when i can just like read it myself in my head faster

Fuck this. #fuck

The data center boom has a direct historical analog - mining booms of the 1800's. Just like then, without regulatory controls they will strip your community of resources, destroy nature irresponsibly and provide jobs...only for a moment. The end result will be a global "rust belt".

Why should I stop using em dashes? Why should I stop listing things in threes? They’re the ones who suck

To be honest, I think even without bringing religion into it, you can question the idea of building a gold statue of someone. I greatly admire many, many people; I cannot think of one I think it would be un-weird to honor with a gold statue.

7 dollar gas. Well, I guess I'll buy an electric car. Oh those are 60 thousand dollars? Well at least electricity is cheap. Oh the government won't build solar panels because it's "Too transgender"? Well at least wages are going up. Oh the idea of jobs is fake now? Well at least everyone is happ

I scheduled my hysterectomy today and hot damn am I having big feelings about it. I know it’s the right choice. I’m as ready as I can be. But it feels so BIG and complicated.

“do you identity with the top in your fic” “do you identify with the bottom” i don’t have time for this im writing fic from the cuck command center

Is it weird that I simply don't care whether it's false flag or not? So much has happened. So much keeps happening. So much more will happen. Nobody died. I just can't muster a strong feeling about whether I'd rather this were a case of an incompetent assassin or an incompetent political strategy.

Star Trek Strange New Worlds is gonna have to win be back after last season, but giving me more Spirk material is a good start.

Just go ahead and make a thing. Even though you have no idea what you're doing. That's the whole point of all of it

It’s finally happened. After 18 months. Finally, a media merger you can root for.

a great way to have an ounce of agency within this nightmare scenario? wear a mask in public indoor spaces. that’s it. really. it works.

I’m *really* bummed out. So tired of being violated by right-wing governments. So tired of big tech. So tired of having no hope. I realize I’m exceedingly lucky; I have a job and can afford to live, but it’s all while knowing we’re on a collision course with our own stupidity.

I pay every penny I owe in taxes, but I must say that this year really felt like a gut-punch on account of all the illegal shit that the federal government is doing with our hard-earned money

Is there any good articles/essays analyzing For All Mankind season 4's depiction of strikes and labor movements? I'm working on a piece and want to see other folks writing on that topic.

My hottest “I have no data to back this up” take is that phones aren’t making young people less happy. What’s making them less happy is living in a world where everyone is having their reality defined by recommendation algorithms that can only care about whether something keeps you watching.

America's money goes to Hungary. To Argentina. To fund wars in Iran and invasions of Venezuela. It goes to kill shipwrecked survivors. To ICE, who shoot US citizens and build concentration camps Our money seems to fund death and destruction all across the globe But it never goes to help Americans

LOL, trying to stay offline and do my work, and friends are sending me "LOOK AT THIS NEW PIC!" texts .... This one is worth it. First PoC and first woman to go around another world. Don't stop talking about this point. It's important. #ArtemisII

Splashdown! Vehicle is stable and upright. “A perfect bulls-eye splash for Integrity and its four astronauts!” #Artemis

"sex doesn't belong in YA books" Listen, I learned more about birth control, menstruation, and how to get and give consent to different acts from Tamora Pierce books than I did from my school. There's a huge difference between smut and showing teens what healthy sexuality is.

I wrote and posted this to Instagram a couple of days ago and it became my most-read poem ever. I’m honored I get to feel big feelings alongside you all. I’m posting it here too and want to use this space more consistently. Hello friends ❤️

There are a lot of rumors about layoffs at work happening on Friday and let me tell you, as much as I keep pretending to be easy breezy about enjoying this job while it lasts I am VERY anxious at the possibility of getting laid off.

It sucks so much to always have to be the lone mood killer warning people about rabies and bird flu and Covid.

How it feels doing literally any task right now.

"Why don't Americans-" The ruling class of America has intentionally disempowered its citizens spread across 3,000+ miles of land and then funded the police force as an occupying army that happily murders anyone who opposes them and imprisons whoever is left as slave laborers. So phone calls it is
