tori amos and courtney love make music that pairs surprisingly well with each other considering that afaik there is SIGNIFICANT beef

Does steam/vapor get more visible when it's very humid? Like it can't disperse easily? (I'm making hot tea bc I need caffeine and our A/C doesn't seem to have settings between "sweet fuckall" and "arctic blast," and got a Ghibli steam display like I had a dry ice machine.)

sometimes pharmacy work means saying "look, a three month supply of this drug costs $12. do you want to pay twelve dollars to stop dealing with this?"

Hana and Dera are 110% growing old together by the end of Daemons of the Shadow Realm

I'm going to need customers to talk quieter, behind me is a four person increasingly heated conversation about hours budget that sounds like it's both relevant to my paycheck and at least a category 2 gossip event

scrolling through a tumblr blog I found through DC: steph post cass post anti AI post fandom misogyny post stephcass post cass cass+damian post stephcass but something about cass's bat-ears are weird -- wait that is blake belladonna kissing yang xiao long.

Your adorable little mannerisms are none of my concern!!!!!

First thoughts: went on a 1000-5000 word rant about fictional characters Ways I know it has been used: made a custom video game PC a six-foot-plus heavily muscled green lady with a gentle heart

Repost the Leather Dachshund from Seattle Pride 1991 to be blessed this Pride Month!

do bands still do that thing where they know their best chance at a paycheck is pandering to evangelicals but they do want to take a crack at being a real band so they release an album or two of deliberately ambiguous alt-rock and see what happens, or was that specifically a 2000s thing?

still haven't met this goatee'd bitch who's been yearning all over my dash for weeks

this is not a youth pastor this is barrett wallace

80% of the way through the new Ann Leckie and I gotta say: I hate almost all of these people

getting into comics and also getting tentatively back into (NON-PAPER, SO FAR) mtg 1. feels like regressing into a very de regeur Type of Guy, but 2. means I occasionally run across a post title like "JACE FOX ART YES" and have to do some rapid recalibration once I scroll down

reopens document after borking my sleep schedule so badly (to work on it) that I didn't look at it for two days good news yeah I think I got the hardest part of the scene done bad news where the FUCK did I think I was going from this one

Current scene is tyrning out uncomfortable/painful to write in a way that I... have not really experienced before, it's a weird feeling. (Character insisting that what's happened to them is Totally Not Abuse.) Just... weird feeling.

least favorite batman rogue whoever is adulterating the medication supply to make everyone on metformin 750 ER simultaneously decide NOT to pick up their meds

my most "yeah I'll pay my debt to society when I incur it" thing is my ironclad belief, as a chronic laundry-forgetter, that if you forget your laundry and someone else dumps it all on a table so they can use the machine, that's on you

my wife is on a glamorous european vacation with her girlfriend and I am getting pus drained out of my toe 😐

I do wish we had managed to come up with a way other than Being Incredibly Fucking Weird About Gender to convey information inside a cake.

I stopped at the grocery store to buy jam so of course went "oh I don't need a basket" and then bought three kinds of jam and several other sundries so I'm in line for the self checkout plaza maintaining a very precarious equilibrium, and I see a basket set under one of the other machines --

fanfic is wild because I have multiple tabs of research on first-line antipsychotic medications open to try and write around a plot point dreamt up by an author whose process was very obviously "wheeeee mental illness is a magic wand that gets me out of writing those tricky character motivations!"

OH I forgot to tweet I had DC fic up. Is anyone over here into DC? Angsty Jason Todd WIP, lukewarm off the presses! Dimensional shenanigans introduce him to a version of himself who never died. archiveofourown.org/works/838279...

Rhythm is a bastard.

concept: vid set to david bowie's "modern love" of multifandom queer couples / ships that tracks steadily backwards in time until by the end we're on like, Achilles and Patroclus, Gilgamesh and Enkidu, that one couple buried together in ancient Egypt -- Khunumhotep and Niankhkhnum, I checked
