I would have assumed that fanfic authors getting traditionally published would make the industry wider; this was a great read on the argument as to why fanfic-turned-book feeds into corporate franchising, and makes the space for creativity smaller.

Autumn’s little joys 🍁🥐☕️ #art #cuteart #watercolor

I walked around the yard and did a flower photo inventory. 🌱 #FlowerReport #Bloomscrolling

Fun little sketch with the new procreate update

doing some very important research this morning

If I was mayor of New York City the only ads allowed on the subway would be for government services and public programming

not Strands being blatantly sponsored today 😭😭

Someone was looking over my shoulder on the train as I was absolutely failing the Connections, but they got off the train before they could see that I'm not a dummy, it was just crazy hard today 😭

i watched The Hobbit today for the first time and it was so so good :))

female announcers and female mascots and female radio hosts and female coaches. girls on the jumbotron and girls throwing the first pitch and ballgirls and batgirls. umpires who are women, players who are women.

using the baseball post-game online survey to talk about women

We seem to have it in our heads that the term "Sexually Gratifying" is negative when it's really not! Yes, art can be sexually gratifying. Yes, sexually gratifying art has artistic value! We should all be able to indulge in our sweets after a hearty meal! stop-paypros.neocities.org #SaveSpeech

idk i just think The Thing didn't have to be male this time. like, he's a THING. we made Doc Ock a woman, we made Captain Marvel a woman, we can't make the rock monster anything other than a man? he don't even gotta be a girl, like.

this is just a subway hater accouny now

when the train so fucked up that even CITYMAPPER can't help you 😩😩

trust us bro #myart #nudity #censorship

whoever says nyc is the greatest city in the world has clearly never experienced a weekend with 14 subway lines experiencing planned interruptions... at the same time.... #BruhSpreadThemOutAtLeast

oh it is deeply sad that NYT made this a PURPLE category 🫠🥴

whoever says NYC is the greatest city in the world has clearly never paid $10.50 for two scoops of ice cream

hello this is so cute i just found a photo of me reading the dream thieves in bath england in 2022

meanwhile in brighton beach

People need to stop tucking in other people's tags. "Oh it was sticking out and I hate seeing that" okay well you're touching my neck and I hate that more

confession: I've done hundreds of them and yet I still can't figure out whether the captchas that want you to identify "bicycles" and/or "motorcycles" want you to include the people riding them or just the part with wheels. the lack of consistency gives me a deep feeling of unease

@maggiestiefvater.bsky.social We were sitting right next to the World History section in Barnes&Noble and my word association is Not Normal so i made this and everyone said you'd understand it 🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛

whenever my boyfriend calls me a Creature i feel Seen

imo razers should be $8, deodorant $8, and packing tape $4. twenty bucks.

i just bought a 2-pack of disposable razers, one deodorant, and the cheapest packing tape at the store. it cost me $35 #ihateithere

I attended my first origami class one year ago, almost to the day. And I'm super proud to say that these little bees of mine will be displayed at the OrigamiUSA Convention in NYC next weekend!!!

my gecko has THE summer bod

fuck with me

read this thread!

Genuinely it's so disrespectful. They work for the PEOPLE. Imagine going into any store and the customer service staff acts like the police do. I think the @nypd.bsky.social should have a no-cellphones-at-work policy like, you know, EVERY other place of work...

Not a gaggle of 15 (maybe more?) on-duty cops lazing around the subway entrance eating ICE CREAM. my taxes pay for their salaries. #defundthepolice

The inner life of Elon is not more real than the people he’s harming and/or killed.

#DebutAuthor #MustRead #writersky #amwriting #writingcommunity

actually what this @mta.info police is doing is standing with one foot on the train and one foot on the platform, interrupting train service, and causing rail traffic. also, ya know, breaking an MTA rule of "do not hold open the train doors" get this guy off the MTA, @mta.info

Before anyone wants to claim that they are being good citizens by not evading fare or whatever, first of all, people still be evading fare. Second—I PROMISE that the dollar you give to the homeless man contributes more positively to your community than your MTA payments.

I pass a man on my commute. He holds the subway emergency door open to let people bypass the turnstile. All he asks for in return is to spare some change. And commuters would rather avoid eye contact and pay $2.75 for a one-way trip. The degree to which urbanites hate homeless people is upsetting.
