Was this the best use of my time today? No. Is it the most amusing way I could have spent the last 90 minutes? Absolutely. Pattern is free here: bit.ly/4nGGCGc

1) I just read this article and can already tell it is going to haunt me 2) you could not waterboard me into reentering the dating pool

We’ve already seen quite a few examples of ICE agents trying to kidnap someone and eventually giving up and running away because a crowd had gathered and shouted them down. That’s EFFECTIVE.

Wait til this fuckwit hears about Mary Shelley

women are absolutely the reason modern fandom exists, and you can even trace the origin of the term "slash [fic]" to women! it's frustrating to see men know nothing (or not caring) about what women have contributed to society while pretending they add so much.

I have heard pill bug, sow bug, potato bug, roly-poly, wood bug and cement bug, but most of these are delightfully new to me.

I left @jairuskhan.bsky.social to his own devices for like 15 minutes and returned to the living room to find him constructing a printable 3d model of his own brain from MRI data.

Apparently some folks are playing real dumb about skull symbols so let’s play a little game I like to call “Nazi skull or not a Nazi skull” First up, the Jolly Roger. This is a pirate skull, not a Nazi skull. It means you might get robbed, but prolly not genocided. With me so far? 1/x

"Oxford commas are a sign you write with ai" I will find such a unique way to rip out your spine that they'll make a movie about it

happy none pizza left beef day!! it's been 18 years and is now old enough to vote

woke up with the phrase "casting dispel on my haters in the dungeon of success" dancing in my brain

this headline hums with ancient autumnal dread

"I need to know my choices are only mine. Especially when they are ugly.”

"Are you trying to be nice, or are you saying ‘die faster’?”

I could hone and refine, take all my blunt instruments and turn them into blades, so they might not even feel it by the time they were bleeding out.

They were plagiarizing their own malevolence.

“You’re running out of time.”

...while that might involve seeing her husband on CCTV tying a tourniquet on some-one wearing a carbon-fiber codpiece...

“Uh, I think if you’re sponging up a supervillain’s snail mucin, you know what side you’re on.”

She was ready to take apart whoever was responsible, bone by bone if necessary.

“Do you often work in the medium of corporate memoranda?”

“You know he loves that lizard.”

His voice was an open wound.

a saucy choice :D "I took note of every new lie, testing its flavor and texture..."

"I don't require their understanding, only their obedience."

“I’m a fan of yours, big fan.”

"They should never have made him do it; the burden was too cruel."

"...she stalked into the room carrying rage with her like a physical object."

"How unfortunate."

“Oh, calm down, that’s not necessary.”

He had only two types of movement: an eerily languid slowness and an almost preternatural darting speed.

“No, I mean it literally—I think this is a personal attack.”

I thought through my options, long bamboo skewers and forks; a filleting knife might be narrow enough.

To leak their nudes and browser histories, or give them E.coli before their next media appearance.

“This guy, a courier, I think, he swallowed something that we needed to unlock this—you know what, it's not a very good story."

It came from the same place of terrible judgment as checking in on a toxic ex’s social media accounts.

"I'd rather fish my ex's wedding ring out of the garbage disposal."

"...it was better to have him angry and alive than briefly satisfied and annihilated."

He grabbed a milk frother and slapped a towel over his arm like a barista.

“This is you,” he said, opening up one of the pages.

As someone who has enjoyed many a heist film I am lowkey kind of deflated that it was this easy to steal from the FUCKING LOUVRE. This should have involved acrobatically avoiding lasers and multiple disguises.

FRIENDS I have a gift for you! I just finished proofing pages for VILLAIN and it's been a joy to jump back into the text, so: Pick a page between 1 and 447 and I will post a spoiler-free phrase or sentence from the manuscript. :D

Not only this is amazing because part of fascism is the destruction of joy but it also makes it look ridiculous that the military is being deployed to put a stop to this

It's where my partner and I interacted for the first time. It's how I got my agent. I have made so many friends and gotten so many jobs because of it.
