The man who signs the checks directly to the bigot doesn't get to talk about separating the art from the artist. 🤦‍♀️ My Little Pony may be my number one thing, but I'll boycott Hasbro at the drop of a hat if they're giving money to transphobic causes. So like... Bye Hasbro. 🤷‍♀️

I feel really bad that I didn't remember the 21st of September. It's almost time to wake up that guy from Green Day, though so hopefully I won't forget to do that.

And then, of course, there are the "liberals" who are perfectly okay with throwing trans people under the bus. I hate it here.

Am I the only one who, when watching a game show, does the math to figure out how much the winner is ACTUALLY getting after tax? 😂

A politician must be really squeaky clean if the only dirt her opponent can dig up on her is "her husband flew first class one time." 😂

What good is power when you're too wise to use it?

The last season of Friends was so weird because on the one hand, they said Oh shoot people are pointing out that we have no black actors -- let's hire Aisha Tyler, quick! But on the other hand, they said Oh shoot people are noticing that Phoebe may be bisexual, let's marry her to Paul Rudd, quick!

Let's bring back speaking clearly and saying what we actually mean.

That's it -- take away his Nobel Prize and make him sit in the corner and think about what he's done.

Baldwin probably won't even show up to work, anyway. They stopped inviting him to conventions because he would tell them he was coming and then just not show up. Year after year.

We went from "no AI slop pinky swear" to "Xbox is becoming Copilot" in like 2 weeks flat. It's like they're having an internal competition to see how many ways they can force people to stop using Xbox. Double price of game pass. Hike console prices. Put the Copilot BS everyone hates on it.

Fuck, quitting ballet is still one of the biggest regrets of my life.

Tolkien's letter to Auden is brutal. I love it.

Surprised that I've only read one book on this list. I'm excited to add the rest to my to-read pile.

Who are these uneducated men talking over the paralympic opening ceremonies and why do we have to hear them say things like "two competing fractions" when we could just be enjoying the beautiful dancers? It feels insulting.

All your prayers have been answered: my box of 100 all-new postcards hits stores in October. Some pre-order options are at eatf.art, but support your local bookstore whenever possible. This includes pre-orders! Call 'em up!

I've always wanted to do an anthology called BIG DAMN EXPLOSIONS where the only requirement for the stories is that they must have a big damn explosion in them. I think we could get an interesting range of stories with that.

This is definitely the mood right now.
