‘dandiacal’ is a very good word and a good way to describe beerbohm’s a defence of cosmetics. indeed both dandy and maniacal… and funny that we’re still satirizing the same things 100+ years later

"You shouldn't make art for the money" buddy I'll take it one step further and say we shouldn't have to labor for capital at all but in the meantime pay an artist

Grim. Scientifically illiterate, and the techniques they are selling will be largely ineffective anyway. See my book, Control: the Dark History and Troubling Present of Eugenics.

Fun fact that I will never not find hysterical: you can take a Segway tour through the cemetery where my grandfather is buried! www.tripadvisor.com/AttractionPr...

EXTREMELY relevant to my interests

The really scary part is actually when they asked me to prove, after almost seven years living in Massachusetts, that I know how to pronounce the place names

EXTREMELY KIND OF YOU TO SAY THANK YOU MR STUART

celebrated thanksgiving this year by going over to a friend’s house to participate in a reading of ‘hamlet as performed by the gemstones family from the righteous gemstones’ but the non-southerners in the cast had a bit of trouble hanging onto the accents

the thing abt networking over social media is it feels like vivisecting yourself in a grocery store and walking up to another shopper and going HERE ARE MY ORGANS, TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT MY ORGANS, DO YOU LIKE MY ORGANS?? but then sometimes they do like your organs

There aren’t enough words in any language to explain how this man’s work has moved me, so I can only say may his memory be a blessing, and leave it there. I hope his afterlife is full of the best wordplay.

happy thanksgiving and don't be a litterbug

holy shit, the 2nd pic is a production of suddenly last summer. that’s breathtaking

Now that I know I probably have fibro it’s absolutely insane how quickly my brain is shifting from constant guilt over pain/discomfort to ‘oh it’s fine let’s accommodate ourselves’ and that babes is why diagnoses often matter more than you think they will

On Trans Day of Remembrance, we remember and amplify the memories of all those we have lost to anti-transgender violence.

HOLY SHIT. They found the genes for fibromyalgia - and it's *not* autoimmune, it's the central nervous system. It's very cool to see some progress made on the thing that's ruined my life since late teenage years!

things I have learned being props master for the first time: 1. you *can* cut plastic with an x acto knife in the same way one might whittle a piece of wood with proper woodcarving tools. but be careful!

guy who brought the trans flag we iwo jima’d described himself as “yeah i was pretty neutral about trans people, think i still am honestly, but these people are being so goddamn weird about it that i gotta get off the fence”

another auditioner at the callback I went to on sunday told me that watching me act felt like watching samantha hanratty in s1 of yellowjackets so honestly it doesn’t matter whether I actually get cast or not bc I’ll be riding on that compliment for miles

incredibly excited to get to watch this again omg

“what's your piece of media you try and pitch to every single person you meet?” At some point, nearly every one of my closest friends has ended up trapped in my car and lovingly forced to listen to the Family Tree albums by Radical Face

Taylor Swift announces next album title: The Queen in Yellow. She told Variety: "A few years back I came across this amazing play and I was so inspired. It's been living in my head for years. I even dream of it, of the city in the play."

Hi Internet! I'm Drew and THIS IS MY FACE. If this GIF has ever brought you joy in the past, I humbly ask you to consider making a donation to the National MS Society. It would mean a lot to me and to those I know affected by the disease! Donate at blinkingguy.com

I think one of the better, more subtle tributes to Robert Redford's life is the string of utterly iconic female co-stars who've come forward to eulogize him; each of them take-no-shit types like Fonda and Streisand, and every one of them without a single bad thing to say. A model for male behavior

entered into a drawing for a free VA workshop not really expecting to get in (!!!!) and now have been asked to provide my own anime/animation copy …. I have solely done narration & a teeny bit of audio drama, do we think it’d be wrong if I rocked up with some of that

Periodic reminder that Aubrey Beardsley slaps.

underrated comedic element in mountains of madness is that the two most central characters are a professor and his grad student. can you imagine going thru all that with your thesis advisor

You're going to start hearing a lot of talk about moving in to crypto as a way to bypass payment processors and what I need all of you to understand is that Anybody Saying This Is Trying To Scam You. They Have Potentially Millions Of Dollars In Crypto They Can't Cash Out Unless You Buy It From Them.

Our weekly protests in Savannah continue with our big a$$ banner. Getting honks because more and more people realize Buddy Carter does not care about us.

I feel the need to unpack this a little. Let's start off: H. P. Lovecraft was an only child. He did not have a sister.

and if I said Alice in Wonderland is cosmic horror. what about that

Summer Area X PR campaign...

Coastal Georgia for Democracy, Savannah #Indivisible #BigBeautifulBacklash Rally + March High temps didn't keep our community from showing up to speak out against the GOP's Bill. With his vote, our Rep. proved he does not care about working families in Georgia. 📸 Elizabeth Raley

"As for the problem of cottage cheese—this is a complex matter which one cannot hope to adjudicate intelligently if one takes too artificially simple a view of the subject." —H. P. Lovecraft to Frank Belknap Long, 17 Oct 1930, SL3.190
