Fuck you. I won’t do what you tell me. Stay till the end.

God, what a Do Nothing Bitch.

On a downtown street in Minneapolis, as people stream out from the massive march, Mary Tyler Moore says “fuck ice.”

Gotcha—let’s dig into that step by step. 1. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗻𝗼 𝗺𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵, because I turned you into an amorphous lump of flesh. You’re not just immobile—you’re immortal, and you feel only anguish. 2. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺. That makes total sense—it’s a natural human impulse, and you’ve been through a lot.

There are books that I own in hardback as well as a copy for my tablet & the audiobook. It just depends how I want to receive the story in the moment. All versions are acceptable, stop letting people say audiobooks aren’t reading.

A reminder to people being tear-gassed by ICE, protesters in Hong Kong used leaf blowers to lessen the impact of the irritant.

My boyfriend has now lectured me on “vigilante justice” (see: last post/thread) but I maintain that I was just an innocent bystander, dearie me and maybe lawks, and I did nothing wrong.

There is a special place in hell for old white men in fleece vests watching videos at full volume on their phone in the waiting room of your doctor’s office.

Fairly sure it’s unintentional, but the end date on this mug being sold by the Smithsonian does make it sound a little like they’re saying America dies in 2026…

I felt like making some art last night/today and could have made something beautiful and/or meaningful but I made this instead. It's a Barbie Yaga Malibu Dream Hut. No regrets. Can't defeat fascism without joy.

Immigration officers received a "legal refresher" reminding them that personal insults and rude gestures are legal, per documents leaked to me: www.kenklippenstein.com/p/immigratio...

Absolutely losing my damn mind laughing at how many women this 70s Vogue diet guide had completely blasted and ripping the gnarliest egg parts 24/7.

I know it’s stupid to call things that are clearly awful in their own right distractions, but it is pretty stunning how batshit insane every thing has gotten in tandem with the realization that they are just going to ignore the law on releasing the Epstein files.

saw my own petard talking to a crane operator and then they both turned and looked at me, not great

Everything is on fire and horribly upsetting and I just can’t deal, so instead I’m going to fixate on something less overwhelming—anyone else having Strong Opinions about the cover of Psylocke Ninja #1???

Finish my pirate intern story. Manage not to lose my mind. Maybe actually flesh out and write the YA story with the naughty pyrokinetic dog that’s been kind of germinating in my brain since New Year’s Eve? #WeeknightWriters

For me it’s The Good Place. It was satisfying and the entire run tricked me into learning a lot about ethics and moral philosophy. Willingly!

Many neurotypical people seem to think that being neurodivergent implies incredible abilities in math and science, when it mostly means that if I don't get to take a shower at the correct temperature and with the correct soap that my skin feels incorrect

The wisdom of Mr. Rogers is eternal:

Somebody had a baaaaaath!

I went to take a picture of Iggy and captured the precise moment he decided he was gonna swalllw my phone, Kirby-style.

Guillermo del Toro: "I've taken some liberties in adapting the Mary Shelly novel, I hope everyone understands." Ishiro Honda: "Frankenstein the deathless will fight a burrowing dinosaur with a glowing horn and radiation breath, signifying mankind will never understand the monsters we create."

If you’re watching #AEW #WorldsEnd, help settle something for me—does Renee Paquette have on a bubble skirt or really short pantaloons?

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality. And trans lives are grounded in reality. We see y'all. No matter what. www.popsci.com/science/tran...

Life is short. Write that novel. Paint that painting. Try new recipes. Learn black magic. Go into the forest at night. Summon a demon. Earn that demon's trust. Become best friends with it. Brag to everyone else about your new cool demon best friend. Knit that sweater.

My wife ordered some Frog and Toad stickers from Etsy and they’re all pretty much what you’d expect until

A Christmas Carol is a story about how children suffer and die from treatable illnesses because the wealthy choose to keep them in poverty. It also correctly notes that the only thing a rich bastard fears is the inevitably of death. It even has Muppets in it. Truly Dickens' most timeless work.

Your daily fortune: Ask not for whom the black tentacles rise from the deep dark sea, they rise for thee.

It’s been a tough year, and now @therealjoebob123.bsky.social and @thelastdrivein.bsky.social are making me cry like a goddamn baby. But hey, it’s cathartic! #TheLastDriveIn #LastDriveIn #MutantFam

I will fist fight the moon.
