Hmmm, I suppose I should actually post something, huh? Here, have a plug for my writing. archiveofourown.org/users/Ancuni...

the markets have essentially become a gauge for how much corruption the government in power is going to let the business class get away with

Regular reminder that when you go to things while sick, you are giving those germs to people with autoimmune disorders, you’re passing them to someone’s newborn, to someone’s elderly parents. It’s “just a cold” to you but it can and does severely impact countless people.

One thing about the whole "you have to read books if you want to be an author" thing is that if you aim to do more than just genre inbreeding, you have to read stuff outside the genre you're writing, too. May even have to read [shudders] nonfiction.

The only reason I can think of for this news not being absolutely everywhere is that large media orgs don’t want to be seen as putting their thumbs on the scales a week before election day. And that’s cowardly as shit.

"the trains are awful, the healthcare isn't free and people can be mean", huh. Now to take a big sip of coffee and check on how all three of those things are in the US.

"Can you please watch it?" No. It's unethical, and I don't need to see it to know that.

This article does not discuss one major reason why chocolate in the West got worse - Ghana and Ivory Coast, the two African countries that are the biggest suppliers of cacao globally, got organised and started demanding fair prices for it. www.reuters.com/world/africa...

was sat in a quiet pub enjoying hearing a man & woman talking about comics they love -- Wicked + the Divine! Saga! Love & Rockets! -- & then heard them bring up Sandman & the guy said "I'm so glad the sexual assault allegations against him were dropped" which is wildly incorrect

Lord I see what Brazil and Serbia have and I want it for myself

Trans people are fighting to keep rights they had ten years ago—in 2016. It is not the same as fighting for rights in the first instance. So please I beg of you, knock it off with this “purity test” horseshit.

Pfff, sounds like a skill issue on the part of the husbands to me.

hell is outsourcing rumination on your own child

Capricorn: There are questions that people with no imagination should avoid asking. Like, "What's the worst that could happen?”

Happy Ace Week

If you are a parent and can't come up with what makes your kid unique, you suck ass as a parent. If you need to ask lying Clippy what makes your child special, you have failed as a human being.

Vernon: it's just like your blorbo King: it's not my blorbo! King: i don't even recognize that blorbo! King: i'm going to make a 5 hour explainer video about how that's not my blorbo King: joe, how do you work this camera Joe Hill: you push the button, dad

Vernon: so we all know that blorbo is a morally conflicted badass with a checkered past Vernon: but what my adaptation supposes Vernon: is Vernon: what if he was a morally conflicted badass with a checkered past King: oh i don't like that at all Poe: that's not my blorno Koontz: [cries]

Going broke from cancer treatments because the most important thing to her was to deny abortion to strangers. I’m so tired of hearing about people changing their tune only when things finally affect them. apnews.com/article/trum...

I imprinted on Vincent at a young age, he was a spooky uncle in my mind (a mental category he shares with Tim Curry, for the curious).

I think people intuitively understand that democratic candidates tossing trans kids to the wolves is not only morally repugnant but also politically ineffective, otherwise they wouldn't freak out every time someone said they weren't voting for a democrat who did this

they could be immunocompromised. they could be Batman. they could be immunocompromised Batman. either way it's none of your business and you might get your head sliced off with a batarang

Second verse, same as the first

So, wait, has NaNoWriMo rebranded as "Novel November", paid for by ProWritingAid, which used to be a spell/grammar checker but now is (you guessed it) an "'AI' grammar checker"--in short, yet another way for a griftslop machine to grab human-written text? Do I have that right?

The problem with continuing to use "Millennial" as your "kids these days" epithet of choice is that you start accusing Millennials of being unfamiliar with one of the defining works of media of their time. The fuck do you mean Millennials don't know about MTV Real World??

no matter how sure you are that these guys have broken a whole bunch of laws, you aren't nearly as certain as they are

every male college professor apparently needs to be given a starter pack here is your office, here is your chair, here is a buzzer that will shock you every time you think about fucking one of your students
