this is literally never not accurate

Interestingly, 2016 was 50 years ago, but 1990 was 20 years ago and this is a hill I will die (of old age) on.

Authors are constantly telling people how they made it! It's just that it takes a LOT of hard work and *patience* but people like this didn't wanna hear that advice. They think there's some kind of secret code or magic words that'll let you skip all that.

If this makes you go HELL YEAH then check it out: bsky.app/profile/trud...

With only days until my very first crowdfund, I feel I must "warn" people that this book is rude and crude. YA levels of edginess, probably. Swearing on every page. Cocks mentioned every other chapter. I'm not even exaggerating 😂 Disclaimer: it does occasionally get serious and people die lol

Your daily Shogun

If they let pre-existing conditions become a deniable thing again a lot of people who consider themselves mostly healthy will be in for a terrible surprise. Ever broken a bone? Been pregnant? Congrats, that’s a pre-existing condition.

Days since Rangi tripped me and I nearly fell and died: 0.

Fun fact: Musk's pay package would be equal to the cost of SNAP (i.e., helping 42 million people to buy food) for TEN YEARS.

I started working at Target when I was 16 and the number of grown men who tried to get me to leave with them was out of control. Making young women smile at every man in their vicinity is a great way to put their safety at risk and I'm not exaggerating.

Everything sucks so here is my dog eating ramen. 🍜

Me: Why are people saying that Frankenstein reminds them of The Terror*? Me five minutes into Frankenstein: Ohhhhhhhhhhhh. *Season 2 is a million percent better than Season 1, for the record...

all horror is erotic and all erotica is horror if you try hard and believe in yourself.

If all you think about Black Southern History and all you bring up is slavery? Then you are missing out. Black southern history and culture is not about suffering. It's about art, history, language, music, food, and our accomplishments.

Please take a moment to appreciate this very, very small water sausage!

It's A Month of Rain & Reads, and somehow it's not actually raining. To tide you over until the weather cooperates, we'll share an interview with Millie Abecassis (@millieabecassis.com ecassis.com), author of A Legacy of Blood and Bone. www.readindiefantasy.com/amorar-inter... #BookSky #AMoRaR

Days since Rangi has eaten his breakfast off of the floor because he smacked his bowl out of my hands when I was trying to put it in my feeder: 0 Days since Rangi has tripped me and nearly made me fall and die: 1

There’s a young southern woman on tt doing an experiment: calling churches & asking if they can help her get baby formula, saying she can’t afford it. Of the 30+ she’s called, nearly every church has said no. The ones who said yes were: Black Baptist Churches A Mosque A small Appalachian church

Been a while since i shared my trans & non binary starter pack Help out by reposting to give some creators and businesses a boost 💙 Trans people are doing it tough so this helps lots go.bsky.app/4DUhFUd

Lemme give you an example of why behaving like an event's covid policy magically doesn't apply to you is dogwater behaviour. Not that people who do this care about the fallout, they got what they wanted. Regardless, let's begin. 🧵

for those of you who didn't know that fatphobia and transphobia are intertwined: trans people seeking trans-specific medical care -- care that would otherwise be covered -- are often turned away until they lose weight. sometimes they're turned away full stop. health care is held for ransom.

and here we see Amir showing us that you can absolutely answer a question without answering the implied question 'what was the song' and slowly send a whole side of the fandom into psychosis observe the behavior in the comments, they cry out in thirst for lore and are given only riddles exquisite

Just a reminder that writing a book, being creative, in the current state of the world is heroic. Keep creating. 💜

Hey folks, as news of Watson's demise spreads, please don't set aside his weighty legacy of misogyny and racism. He was truly among the worst of us. www.vox.com/2019/1/15/18...

I see James Watson has died. What did Watson discover? Rosalind Franklin's lab notes. Only we spell it 'S-T-E-A-L' these days.
