Me and the homies

Hades 2 character design choices I love: - Hecate has a six pack. - Chronos looks like cunty Julius Caesar.

I usually forget the cishet trad white supremacist side of romance novel readership exists, because that has never been my corner of the genre. Then they go and do something shitty in public and I have to admit if that was my only exposure to the romance genre, I'd have a negative opinion of it too.

I've watched the 1995 Pride & Prejudice miniseries a bazillion times and it's still so lovely.

You ever think about how beautiful and rare your friends are and stare into space for 10 minutes because in all the wretched terrifying universe somehow something still managed to give you the miracle of their presence?

On this Trans Day of Remembrance, we remember the bright and courageous trans people whose lives were stolen by hatred. Their absence is felt across our city. We will honor them by building a New York where every trans person can live safely, fully and freely.

Huge shout-out to Frank Quitely for sneaking an EXTREMELY gay Jim French / Vivienne Westwood reference into his Batman / Deadpool variant cover

No one talk to me in January, when season 2 of the Pitt starts and Animal Crossing New Horizons releases a new update.

Sefaria is so neat. I can pull up Talmud commentary next to whatever Torah portion I'm reading and do side-by-side comparisons of different translations.

Also this giant scary lady is a romance option 🥹🥵

Ok, Hades 2, I was already in love. You didn't have to give me a big fuck-off axe to seal the deal (but I'm glad you did)

"How's your seasonal affective disorder doing, Ally?" Me:

I would be on the fucking news if I was a student in this class.

I wish Flint and Pop Pop would find better ways to wake me up than poking Lilith until she shrieks.

Keep this in mind as we start seeing more and more large scale outages from AWS, Cloudflare, Github, etc. These are the companies hoping to increasingly automate their systems with AI

Finally digging into Hades 2: Hades For Lesbians.

The thing about growing up poor and achieving a bit of upward class mobility via college education is you end up in social circles with people who come from economic privilege...and it never stops feeling weird.

Watching Batman TAS while I have my coffee and check emails and *head tilt*

Olivia Nuzzi, please stop involving the entire public in your sex life.

I don't personally believe in astrology but like, my faith observes a holiday where we shake tree branches and a lemon at God, so you astrology kids do you.

oh good I can get back to my regularly scheduled filth now.

I'm so glad I ignored people telling me it was a bad idea to cash out my 401k to buy a house.

Capitalism is incredible. Sorry, former teacher, your retirement fund is gone because 5 guys who've collectively never worked a full hour told the banks to put all the money in the country into virtual girlfriend futures

Things currently occupying approximately 40% of my brain: there should be at least one Carly Rae Jepsen song in the Heated Rivalry tv serie.

they're going after holocaust survivors

I've crossed over from being apoplectic about this shit to just feeling straight down to my bones tired.

make bad art because some of the worst people you know are making even worse art and literally nothing you make will be that bad.

my next column's going to be like "how Olivia N*zzi is like a romantasy heroine" and y'all are going to be like "wow her insights are amazing"

Y'all, MTG wanting to stop US money from arming Israel is a "heartbreaking, worst person you know..." situation, not her reforming her hateful ways. A party that's got room for her is not a party I want to be involved with.

My take on the Elyse Meyers thing is the same one I’ve had for years as someone who spent a lot of time reviewing & has since come back to it: Authors don’t belong in reviewer spaces. Reviews aren’t for them. Doesn’t matter how many TikTok followers they have. That space isn’t for them

Yeah, cishet white dudes, call me when your online stalker takes it IRL and physically attacks you in a courtroom during your protective order hearing lol

KJ Charles' All of Us Murderers is simultaneously a send-up of gothic novels and an excellent gothic novel in its own right. The way it balances the two reminds me a lot of Deadloch, which I now want to re-watch.

I wrote 856 words (of Star Wars fan fic) in an hour.

your last saved meme is your moral philosophy ...yep.

Big 1997 hours tonight.

Everything is happening so much on the Other Noah Wyle Doctor Show.

If you work with children in any capacity, you quickly learn that a lot of adults, even ones with benevolent intentions, do not view children as fully realized human beings.

We have to start asking ourselves why the US refuses to sign off on the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child www.ohchr.org/en/instrumen...

Having a big "be careful what you wish for" moment with All of Murderers by KJ Charles. I've always wanted a story with good ADHD rep, but this is too good. I feel Exposed.

I keep getting distracted from my own book (All of Us Murderers by KJ Charles) watching her face journey while she reads it.

The HEA is what makes it a romance novel and not just a love story, folks. And the HEA is so freakin' important re. how readers experience romance stories.

I feel like we’ve memory-holed that until the last 15 years or so, mainstream culture was largely fine with the idea of sexualizing teen girls (remember tabloid countdowns of the Olsen twins turning 18?) so I guess I’m not too shocked that some people want to go back to the era where perving is ok.

Moonfall is so bad I've had to watch it in installments for today's @cosmoquest.org livestream. Make my suffering have meaning and donate to our Patreon that pays my salary: patreon.com/cosmoquestx

That ADHD mood when you're not sure you took your meds and now have to take the chance of either struggling to focus all day or getting really really weird.

God we need more craft discussions and less fights about which tropes are good or bad that play out in a way that makes it clear no one even understands what a trope is anymore.

Romance is like any other fiction genre: it has its own conventions, structures, history, evolving trends, etc. But people love to barge in, trying to change it up without bothering to learn about the genre because they don't think it's worth learning.
