in an omegaverse, this is a combo pizza/strip club

So this new local advertisement came in the mail and I immediately sent it to my romantasy book club group chat.

Human words, there’s too many of them, and I don’t care.

Nice article about Queen Demon: www.dailykos.com/stories/2026... "One of Wells’ most compelling gifts as a writer is the way she interrogates trauma, and trauma is very much in evidence in her recent works, especially in both Murderbot and The Rising World."

We reported on all sorts of products and practices promising to make you healthy last year. Here are the ones that stood up to science, and those that were mostly hype.

Hi, I'm a shrimp.

About one week to #MoreJoyDay! If you're planning on doing something, now is a good time to start thinking about what it is!

I like that they are thinking and talking about the complexity of these questions and acknowledged the lack of a single simple answer.

You did it 😈

"Do people do this?" 🤣🤣

Okay, I will preface this with the GIGANTIC disclaimer that I promise I know how this looks, and I *swear* this is not personally motivated: If you have an old #LiveJournal account, and it has things you still care about in it, download it or import it to Dreamwidth SOON. Details:

Well done, science museum of Minnesota 👐 #heatedrivalry

Next test for America: pick up & distribute Crave’s upcoming lesbian softball mockumentary sitcom co-exec produced by Elliot Page & Stevie from Schitt’s Creek with Nadine Bhabha - Kip’s friend Elena from Heated Rivalry - both as a guest star & one of the writers. www.bellmedia.ca/the-lede/pre...

this remains the greatest synopsis of incel culture one could ever ask for

Still recovering from knee surgery, pain is much better. Snow storm yesterday. Between not being able to do much and wanting to ignore the snow, I've been crocheting a lot of things. This is yesterday's snow day scarf. Quite happy with it. Love this yarn.

Fake Hallmark movies I wish were real: ‘A New York For Christmas’ —a small town preacher travels to the Big City to evangelize and instead falls in love with better pizza

it is the second day of #Kwanzaa, Kujichagulia , which focuses on self determination and for me that also means revolution and reimagining. Here are a few books that you can pick up today and this week. #booksky #blackbooksky

Last week I read a book that may turn out to be one of my favorites of the year. It was very tongue in cheek but there were some meaningful emotions. The banter was snappy. I laughed out loud multiple times. Very passive aggressive snarky true enemies to lovers vibe happening. 1/2

I preface this repost with the disclaimer that I have not read the thesis in question, which is linked in the second comment in this thread, but I thought some of you might like to read it if you haven't already. I don't keep up with RPF acafan spaces so maybe this has already been widely discussed.

Murderbot is checking the perimeter. Ilya and Shane are going to the cottage. Even in the darkest times, our imaginations create places for love and safety.

Santa's helpers would like to wish you a happy holiday season ❤️

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO OUT MAGAZINE NO NO NO

Today's New Yorker. The untold cost of Christmas those Hallmark Channel documentaries don't show you.

Happy Festivus, BlueSky! Feel free to air your grievances here!

Perfect 😆charming and funny! archiveofourown.org/works/76200071 #heatedrivalry

Had my gutters cleaned yesterday. It was quite windy. I feel like the gutter cleaners are judging how poorly I secured my Christmas reindeer. Although my friend said this could be a crime scene photo as well.

Everyone is showing pictures of their pretty trees so I wanted to get in on the action.

My power went off three times in the last 36 hours. It's currently back on and expected to stay on, but it was a pretty cold couple of days and I've got to throw out everything that was in the freezer. This is just one of the outage maps from yesterday. That black and white symbol is my house lol

How humans decide what to do with their arms on a second-by-second basis, I still have no idea.

When you finally get what you want

I survived my knee surgery, with tolerable pain, and they gave me a really cool cane.

if you see this, we IMPLORE you to post a picture from whatever device you’re using without explanation

I know that the Reel on the right is talking about toxic culture around NFL football in America, but the juxtaposition of these two videos in my feed was too inspired to not share #heatedrivalry

"Bluesky is an echo chamber." "Bluesky doesn't have enough reach" "Liberals must return to X to challenge the far right" I'm not a tech bro or a journalist. Your priorities are not my priorities. Stop telling me I need to do anything other than chat about comics & telly with people who seem nice.

I'm having knee surgery tomorrow and I was already planning to rewatch the first four episodes but now that I've seen this thread over on threads I have a new reason to rewatch the first four episodes. I love fandom. We're amazing.

They are right #heatedrivalry

"pent up demand for rail options" also explains much of the success of Heated Rivalry

Idk who made this, but it hit me in the feelings #heatedrivalry

Also shout out to all of Shane Hollander's commercials and advertising shoots. Your boy's out here working hard for a living. #heatedrivalry

"Much has been written about Heated Rivalry's R-rated nature, but what many of those takes have failed to acknowledge is how Shane and Ilya's hookups do ultimately serve the show's greater narrative arc, both for them as a potential couple and as individual characters."
