Melissa F. Olson, Acquired Taste

Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.

*cracks knuckles* I think my current butter dish is about to have an accident

I backed this project! Rachael’s webcomic is an ongoing delight and I’m thrilled that I get to help support a great artist. ❤️

They say wisdom comes with age, yet just last night I stayed up too late reading a scary book and then had nightmares. Still waiting on that wisdom.

So excited to support this project! I just backed Murderbot: The First Graphic Novel | Multi-award-winning SF! on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/cos...

Man, Slow Horses has really won me back this season. Absolutely loved today’s episode.

Gang, I cannot stress how excited I am for you to hear Midnight Radio. It's been a weird, punk rock, self-funded, dream project. Season 1 is just insane, with a crazy cast I can't believe I got to work with. You've never heard anything quite like it. Episodes drop beginning Oct 22nd!

Oh man, remember Army of the Dead? Absolute waste of a zombie tiger.

Did you hear the one about the dog who joyously shed fur all over Mom’s car?

It's Saturday! Which means a new episode of MUGSHOT! In episode 10 Marnie gets a little surprise... Read the whole episode (and all the others) for free! here: www.mugshotcomic.com #webcomic #mugshotcomic #comics

One of my least attainable lifelong dreams is to have multiple rooms in my home clean *at the same time*

Friends, I usually work on my own, but atm I have an interim coworker and she does NOTHING. I’m doing all the work while she sprawls across my office couch napping. What should I do?

October 15th is the launch date for my company's Murderbot graphic novel. Sign up now to be notified when it launches and get some lovely early bird bargains! www.kickstarter.com/projects/cos...

There are certain things that we don’t have to do anymore, fam. Family reunions, high school reunions, and holiday cards are no longer necessary.

Writer @ericpalicki.bsky.social sat down with @waynescomics.bsky.social to talk DRAGONPROOF, his new urban fantasy OGN with @giulia-lalli.bsky.social and @gabcontrerasr.bsky.social about a directionless 20something who stumbles upon a dying dragon in the woods — and a conspiracy along with it...

ICYMI: Coming this April from Hachette's new novella imprint, Union Station - SHOUTING DISTANCE, which you can read more about and maaaybe click through for a preorder (if you are so inclined) 👇👇👇 www.cheriepriest.com/blog/coming-...

Asked my ADHD husband to vacuum the bedroom and found him like this. I guess he found a way to make the task feel more urgent and vital. 😆

What scene makes you emotional no matter how many times you've seen it? (There are a few so I went with the seasonal pick)

Jennifer’s Body walked so Promising Young Woman could run

I can’t wait to buy this and have it immediately stolen away from me by my anxious 13-year-old ! ❤️😁

“Like so much of my other work, DRAGONPROOF is, at its heart, about outsiders finding their people and their purpose." ICYMI, @screenrant.bsky.social just announced DRAGONPROOF, a funny heartfelt urban fantasy by @ericpalicki.bsky.social and @giulia-lalli.bsky.social.

Listen. Girls. Ladies. My spawn sisters. Femáles. Queens. Empresses. Listen. Vampires are for middle-aged women fantasies, not teen fantasies. Which one of us gets hot flashes so intense we will kick a warm human male body directly through a window if necessary? Exactly.

Because I went to film school and eventually became a film professor, I have great insight into my own secret desires. It’s tunnels. Secret tunnels. I freaking love a secret tunnel. There’s not a single movie that wouldn’t be improved by adding secret tunnels

Brb off to so some irrevocable harm to my sleep cycle

In the 16th Century, the calendars changed and 10 days were skipped. From the co-creator of Atomic Blonde, here’s the magical story of those 10 lost days. www.kickstarter.com/projects/scr...

Any word yet on whether we’ll be allowed to film the Criterion Closet videos we may or may not have already rehearsed? I’m speaking generally, for all of us, about a thing we definitely all do.

Ever since the first time I saw Aliens, whenever I write a condescending male character I have him refer to someone as “kiddo.” If someone uses “kiddo” in my books, you can bet money he’s going to die badly.

Is…is he trying to put on my socks?

When Mom promised a fun car ride but now the sky is attacking

I’ve been getting into Letterboxd more DEFINITELY NOT TO PROCRASTINATE MY ACTUAL WORK. If you’re interested in my reviews for Scream 7, The End of Oak Street, and Masters of the Universe, here’s the link: letterboxd.com/mfolson/revi...

So easy. I would buy the rights and fund the shit out of Sarah Michelle Gellar’s Buffy reboot

the bumblebees bee flirty

I have zero interest in playing an rpg, ever. To me it’s being asked to do my job for free…only with the input of a bunch of people who want different things. An actual nightmare. Meanwhile, my husband is a pro DM and I’ve personally seen the enjoyment and connection others get from playing.

I’m gonna stitch this on a pillow

Can anyone suggest additional songs for my 90s-themed workout mix?

The MARY SUE Collected Edition is out this week, which calls for another substack post! I walk through the reality of pitch to launch. It's always a miracle when something gets made. meghanfitzmartin.substack.com/p/mary-sue-c...
